This just came in for me. Bought it back in May, took three months

>>74427621
Just bought my first vinyl yesterday after wanting to get into it for years (Floral Shoppe, might cop Human Story 3 and Dream Castle as well).

My mom gave me her old collection the other day too, which was pretty cool. Found a few concert bootlegs in there, but the artist's names have lost me now.

Discogs is pretty much the biggest for buying used or new vinyl, but I've heard some negative things, like with everywhere you buy from people and not companies.

< Most prized possesion

>>74427892
The thing about Discogs (and other marketplaces really) is how some sellers overrate used vinyl, like rating a G+ vinyl as VG+. Otherwise buying new records were never an issue for me, plus PayPal disputes if anything goes wrong.

preordered the Floral Shoppe LP

>>74427892
shit I want this so bad
how do you store it?

if i lost my entire collection except for one record

Why does phoneposting make images sideways reeee

Fuck that's nice.
>>74429681
hahahah just hide the thread nigga

>>74429626
You gotta work it in there at an angle, just like in the picture. It helps a lot if your furniture or boxes have plenty of space vertically.

You also have to insert the record with the same angle, but it's so worth it.

>>74427663
lmao weren't you just complaining in a thread yesterday that you hadn't received it

I don't feel like taking a picture but I bought King Crimson's Discipline on vinyl a few days ago along with some CD's.

a couple highlights from the past week or so. Yeah, Aenima is a bootleg. Still ebays for $100+ though lol, and it sounds good enough. I've always had a soft spot for this album but im not about to drop $300 on an original

Hello Young Lovers I got for $20. Pink vinyl. Fucking steal. "a couple skips on side A" nope.

>>74430728
tfw I saw acquiring the taste and self titled months ago when I didn't listen to gentle giant's earlier stuff yet and I didn't get them

tfw they were gone the next time I went

>>74430908
Misses like that are part of why I got so trigger happy with buying stuff. At least take solace in knowing that neither were probably OG and you could probably find the same pressings on discogs for even cheaper

>>74427621
Honestly, I don't recommend buying used vinyl online unless there's pretty much zero chance of finding it in a store. Here's why:

-Sellers overgrading is a serious problem. I'm not joking, if you buy a record graded NM, expect VG+ or worse. Even sellers with 100% positive feedback do this, because I think most buyers don't care about the grade or don't feel like dealing with a dispute if they disagree with it. It's gotten to the point where in the rare instance where I need to buy something online, I only buy NM because VG+ is the most misunderstood grade ever, and buying anything below VG+ is a complete gamble and not worth dealing with. That said, there are a few sellers who actually grade properly, but they are few and far between in my experience. (A small tip -- if a seller has the majority of their listings as NM when everything is pretty old, I'd be very apprehensive to buy from them -- it's unlikely that everything is NM!)

-When you factor in shipping prices, lower priced vinyl can quickly become expensive online. That $5 record becomes $10, the $10 becomes $15, and so on. It's not as good of a deal as it seems.

-This point is completely irrelevant, but getting a musty, slightly beat up, clearly sitting in a basement for 40 years record in the mail feels kind of disgusting and very unsatisfying.

I recommend sticking to local stores for used vinyl, but if you must buy online, pretty much your only options are eBay and Discogs. MusicStack used to be pretty good, but most everyone has since moved on to the former two places. You'll probably get the best deals via eBay auctions, but a lot of sellers don't grade there, so be careful. Both eBay and Discogs use Paypal so there's essentially no risk as a buyer anyway.

>>74431338
Grading is usually a gamble, yeah, but I feel like at least on discogs I get about as many undergraded records as I do overgraded ones.

>>74430501
Yes
The gods answered my prayers

>>74427663
my man

I recently ordered the Glow Pt. 2 from Phil and the LP is oblong shaped, so it scrapes against the arm holder. Any one know how to fix that?

>>74434704
Pic?

>>74427621
I have a box full of Vinyls in my crawlspace. Anyone want to see?

>>74435326
*They're not modern, some of them are labeled with my Grandfathers name.

>>74430728
did you ebay your copy of aenima?

>>74429681
>He came into the thread to complain
Just hide it nigger

>>74435402
$35 at the local record store

>>74431338
Craigslist is always an option

>>74435512
what?!?! my local can't get it. where are you? they just stock it for $35?

Recent pickups
-Urgh! A Music War, classic live post punk compilation
-Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen, smooth 80's pop but good with some nice synths
-XTC - Limelight, decent single
-Psychedelic Furs - Pretty in Pink 12', 1981 version, not the rerecording
-Bauhaus - 4AD, 1983 EP with Dark Entries and a cover of Telegram Sam
-Some single that was on AmRep, haven't played it yet and only bought cause of the label
-Ultravox - Vienna, really disappointed with this, loved the debut but couldn't get through this one
-Sparks - Kimono My House, don't like this one as much as I thought I would but still decent

>>74435655
I'm on Cape Cod. And yeah, I was surprised it was that cheap too. Not complaining though. It was never there when I looked before, and the guy at the register looked at it and seemed confused; "looks different..." (feigning ignorance in selling me a bootleg maybe?). Guess I should check to see if they get any more. It was sealed so it's not like someone brought it in used

>>74436034
Shit man, that's wild. I've found some boots at the one near me, but I've never come across this one. I just can't pay the costs they end up going for on eBay. I wish there was a way to get a copy here in ohio

>>74427621
over 5050 itunes albums
I doubt any of you can have more than 1000 on your basements

inherited these from my dad last week

Does anyone have a small display for "now playing"? I kinda want a tiny easel.

>>74437399
Dirt Pirate Creed, Deerhoof's first album. Noisy musique concretey shit. The "jacket" is just a big folded over piece of photocopied paper.

>>74438012
That sounds gay as fuc

>>74438126
You're not wrong.

>>74436104
well good luck, hope you find it. If it can pop up in my middle of nowhere local shop why not yours

>>74435676
>-Sparks - Kimono My House, don't like this one as much as I thought I would but still decent

Kimono isn't one of Sparks' best IMO. Check out Big Beat, Indiscreet, Propaganda or Angst In My Pants

>>74437842
I'm assuming those are original copies then, looks like their pretty good condition

>>74437400
You go to shitty stores

These two arrived in the mail this week. The one on the left is the 2009 reissue, and the one on the right is the original (and only) 1995 issue. Both sound pretty great

>>74438228
N O I C E
I got an original of Liar a year or two ago, such an underrated album

>>74438215
>Solid starts to a proggy collection
I'm focusing on getting King Crimson, Yes, Genesis and ELP right now, will look into Alphatarus.

Pretty happy with this Moody Blues album, previous owner must have fucking loved Dawn as it's the only track thats a little worn down.

>>74438228
that's such a great album cover. (jesus lizard)

i think i discovered those guys through cobain's journals

>>74438423
Good luck with KC. I've worked at a store for 2.5 years and RARELY see their stuff. I've managed to get ITCOCK, In the Wake of Poseidon, Islands, and Discipline, but still so many left to find. Unless you're okay with reissues

>>74438461
the somewhat recent KC reissues cut from the masters sound fantastic IMHO

>>74438461
Doesn't Fripp own the master tapes?

>>74438509
>>74438515
Yes, and they probably do sound great but some people are in it just for OGs which are pretty hard to come by

I've only had this problem with this record. And worse comes, Phil said he'll replace it for me but man I don't wanna wait another month to get it here

honestly everything ive ever read and heard of phil makes him seem like the nicest guy in the entire world. i'd say he's my music crush.

>>74440130
I've talked to him a couple times, just little chats, and he is really down to earth.

Did anyone in this thread cop more than one vinyl copy of Scum Fuck Flower Boy?

>Enjoy your lower dynamic range masters
That's a rare occasion. CDs have a wider range for dynamics than vinyls do and also do not have the physical limitations regarding bass and treble levels as vinyl does. In addition, CDs are capable of stereo sound without compromises like vinyl's stereo cutting method.

>and disc rot
Only happens if you're a complete retard that doesn't take care of discs. CDs are far more durable than a media format that easily warps and collects dust in grooves.
