Does anybody else own multiple records but not a record player?

>>74642514
>as soon as I noticed the ITCOTCK record and saw that it was an original 1969 printing from the UK
Why do people care so much about this?
It doesn't make it worth much more unless it was pressed in very limited quantities.

>>74642534
Basically you're just a cunt pretty much

>>74642534
For me, it's my favorite album of all time, and to be able to own a proper original pressing is pretty cool I reckon. I get to own a piece of music history, something that's existed for 48 years and made its way through multiple countries (I found my copy in Tokyo), and now it's in my hands.

i buy them here and there if i really - really - like an album. while i do own a record player i've never used it.

>>74642514
>I don't even know why I bought the DAMN. and King Gizzard records to be honest
Because you spend too much time around here

>Damn

FUCK YOU

KILL YOURSELF, FILTHY PLEB

>>74642534
they often sound better, if they're clean

go get a used technics or something

I mean, you're betting off buying vinyl and not playing them at all until you get something good than you are buying a POS Crosley and playing them. It's still kinda goofy, though.

Can't vouch for Damn, but buying Flying Microtonal Banana is a solid choice in my opinion. Anything King Gizzard puts out deserves the splurge of physical media; the vinyls are just so well produced (assuming you got a coloured variant). I own a player myself but hey, it's a fun hobby and has the added benefit of impressing people. Kida costly but keep it up man. Buy the occasional LP here and there, when something really catches your eye, and it'll make your first play-throughs so much better when you finally get a turntable. Good on you, man.

i buy them with out owning one because I would like to buy a record player but the thrift always has bullshit broken ones

I buy CDs instead, and rip them to FLAC files.

you're a retard who likes collecting rare pokemons

>>74644367
Yeah I've got the colored vinyl. I wish I got a copy of Nonagon Infinity.

Yes but i can't afford the record play i want.

What? Original pressing of kc? Nigga, it's got to be like 700-800 bucks as of now.

>>74644417
Enjoy your clipping faggot

>>74645637
Well, everything that's visually present on my copy matches up with what discogs says is an original pressing of ITCOTCK from the UK.

>>74645974
How much did you spend? photo of serial number, if it's possible.

I bought it from the store for the equivalent of ~$100 AUD, which yeah is probably really cheap for what might be an original pressing of this album.

>>74642514
I'm pretty sure everyone who collects at some point had records but no turntable.

>>74646115
noice. And it's nm/ex+, judging by the photo.

>>74646372
>nm/ex+

What does that mean?

>>74646347
I always thought that it's sort of silly to buy turntable not having a little collection of 10-15 lp's.

>>74642514
yup, my turntable broke and havent felt like getting another one
i have blonde on vinyl but it has never been played

>>74646376
Not him, but I know nm is near mint. ex is probably exceptional

>>746463876
Exactly

>>74646376
Means that vinyl is in "near mint" condition and the sleeve is "excellent +".
Read something on the topic if you are considering collecting further.

>>74645701
Clipping has nothing to do with the physical media

>>74642514
yes but only because the local classical radio station offloaded a bunch of recordings at a goodwill and it was impossible to pass off that opportunity

>>74646400
>>74646420
Ah I see, that's pretty cool. Yeah I'm hoping to collect some other classics in the future.
When I was in the record store in Tokyo I was deciding on whether to buy ITCOTCK or Blackstar. I guess I made the right choice.

>>74646503
Yes, you did. Just wait another 10-20 years and you'll be able to afford a small journey by selling this pressing. And a little advice: control your feelings once you are in a store. I know how hard they are to subdue at the start, but take your time and do some cratedigging and exploring local stores. Don't buy things you will regret of buying. Get your favourites first even if will take time to ship them. If you did not find anything you want in a store, don't buy second-priority articles from your list. Visit another store or save money for something rare. It's all about money management. Once I spent so much money on records that I had to eat one time a day.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>74642514
>Doesn't own a turntable, owns vinyl
>refers to the album as ITCOTCK
Fuck, you're the reason there is so much hatred in the world

>>74646817
What's wrong with ITCOTCK?

I own a record player but I can't remember the last time I actually played something on it. I probably buy 15+ records a month.

This thread disgusts me, what is the mentality of a person that buys vinyls without having anything to play them? You guys are seeing music as accessory, fuck this thread.

>>74646796
Never got that. If you change something, there have to be advantages. Goldmine lacks it. Or I am simply stupid to conceive.

>>74642514
Why buy a budget turntable when you can check the internet classifieds and buy an exceptional old turntable from back when A/V equipment wasn't a big joke? Surely you can find a Marantz or Technics for 100-150

I got a tt, and probably around 100 records, the majority are used old pressings with dirt in them that smell. The GOOD shit. How can people fathom spending 50 or 60 bucks on a new record when you can get a perfectly fine copy for 10?

>>74646889
This

>>74646889
What's the point of buying turntable without any lps. You simply made a stupid conclusion for yourself. Approaches differ.

>>74646930
So he could kill his lp's with 5-6 gram pressure? He is a novice and therefore easily deceived.

>original 1969 printing from the UK at a random record store
You got a fake one OP, sorry

>>74647022
How did you figure that out? Price is a bit fishy but there got to be something else.

>>74647054
Are you really that naive that you think they wouldn't fake a fucking King Crimson original recording?
People who actually own a KC recording know better and sell it for more.

>>74642514
By a record player you massive faggot

>>74647109
OP here, I'm not the guy you replied to.

But anyways, the sleeve which has the cover on it looks and smells super old, and also has the code ILPS-9111 on it. I don't know, looks pretty legit to me.

It was the only vinyl version of ITCOTCK that I could find in the entire store.

>bitching about tracking pressure, antiskate, tonearm adjustments

nigger all those old records from back in the day were played on portable suitcase turntables and piece of shit god knows what and they still sound great. Vinyl records arent so fragile that they'll break down with playing them on a decent record player with a moving magnetic cart.

>>74647109
Oh also, the store I was in lets you listen to the record on their turntable so you can test out the quality before you purchase. I listened to the 21st Century Schizoid Man and The Court of the Crimson King, and it sounded really good.

>>74647289
Yo, I ain't bitching, just warning about possible consequences. I myself remember how shity my disintegration lps became after 100 plays on some jap 80-s turntable.

>>74647511
Well, 50 on both lps. You get my point.

>>74646991
Is the ATLP120 really a damaging turntable?

>>74647634
Not at all. I have one. I reacted to the "exceptional old turntable". Since op is not experienced enough, he might be duped. Old=used, you know.

>>74647740
Fuck, I meant =\=.

>>74647178

The catalog number doesn't mean a whole lot. It's better to check what the label looks like and what the deadwax says. The picture you posted of the solid pink label shows you have an original, since they switched to the palm tree label shortly after. The people crying bootleg are just jelly by the way.

>>74647740
Yeah I don't think I am trust myself with using an older turntable in case I fuck something up. I think I'll wait until being able to afford the 120 is worth it.

>>74648153
I noticed that there's the same code etched (?) into the wax in a really small font. And there's also some numbers after it but I've packed it away and am in bed right now so I can't be bothered checking.

>>74648217
It's fake anon, sorry.
