Re: The VINYL Thread!
The surfactant came today and I’m testing it out. The washing record looks like the water penetrates between the grooves better with it.
The cleaning works so well I’m going to check out some used record stores soon.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
Black Sabbath S/T was just released as a part of the Rhino High Fidelity Series, AAA cut and limited to 5000 numbered copies. I grabbed a copy, it will probably sell out fast. Can't wait to hear it, I was really impressed with Television's Marquee Moon from the same series.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
Looks like they also released Devo's Freedom of Choice in this latest batch. I'm curious to hear what the BS sounds like. Won't be too difficult to improve on the initial WB green label pressings but doubt it can top the OG UK on Vertigo.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
Yeah, I doubt it could beat an OG Vertigo, but a nice copy of that would probably cost more money than I'd like. It should be pointed out that this is the North American version of the album from the original US tapes, with Wicked World instead of Evil Woman (the former of which is a better song anyway) as Rhino/Warner doesn't have the rights to the original UK tapes. There has been a bit of general bitching about that, but I'm fine with it (I already have a decent reissue of the UK version anyway).

As posted in the 'Last thing you bought' thread...
My PL-115D with transplanted dust cover, lateral counterweight, 45 adapter, and anti-skate knob.
This is currently paired with an Ortofon OM 10 cartridge.

Yep, it lasted maybe a day or so longer on Warner Music Canada's website (which is where I bought it) but now sold out there as well. I'm glad I jumped on it fast, I figured it wouldn't last long. Hopefully this kind of demand helps make Rhino/Warner consider other Sabbath titles for the series.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
One of our local record stores purchased a collection of sealed 80s vinyl albums (never opened) from the estate of a collector who passed away. Went down there this morning and picked a few of them up:
Echo & The Bunnymen ..... Porcupine
The FIXX ..... React (recorded live in Montreal & Toronto 1986)
INXS ..... Listen Like Thieves (my favorite of their studio albums)
New Order ..... The Peel Sessions 1982
Simple Minds ..... Live In The City Of Light
Simple Minds ..... Once Upon A Time (fantastic album)
The Pursuit Of Happiness ..... Love Junk (another fantastic album)
Also picked up a sealed copy of the 2004 Rhino edition of Echo & The Bunnymen's debut album Crocodiles. Going to head back there next week to check out some jazz albums ...![Cool](/images/smilies/cool.gif)

I sold off a bunch of near-mint vinyl albums back in the day that I wish I hadn't, either. The Scorpions 'Virgin Killer' (with the banned cover), Iron Maiden's 'The Number Of The Beast' picture disc from the early 80s, and Led Zeppelin IV are a few that come to mind. I'd get a pretty penny for them today methinks.

I probably would have bitten on that sealed Van Halen record, and I don't even like Van Halen.
Today I stopped at Vinyl Junkies because they've been cutting prices on some recent records that haven't moved. They knocked off 25%, and this weekend they were taking an additional 20% off the discounted price. I walked out with:
999 - Bish! Bash! Bosh!
Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action (2021 pressing)
Fountains of Wayne - Out of State Plates
The Real Kids - Shake...Outta Control
The Selecter - Human Algebra (RIP, "Gaps")
Starcrawler - She Said
and from the used new arrivals section, I found a decent copy of Talking Heads' Remain in Light. Been wanting that one a while.

I bought it after seeing them open for Black Sabbath, in 1978.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
I know what you mean. I've had a few records 'mysteriously' go missing over the years ... including a laser-etched 7" single of The Best Of Times by Styx (just beautiful), coincidentally enough on the same day that I showed it to a bunch of friends that I had over after school, and a few that I'm sure my ex may have 'inadvertently on purpose' taken with her when we split up. Some of those were my favorites, too. What can you do?

It was definitely a buyer's market back then, and I could pick up mint/mint condition LPs in the five dollar range. Even OOP stuff where the CDs might sell in the $50-$100 range could be had on vinyl for under bucks shipped.
Even better than the early 90s switchover to CD when people were dumping their LP collections and used stores and I managed to pick up lots of mainstream stuff in pristine condition out of the dollar bins. (I got Queen's full discography that way, and most of Bowie's.)
But with eBay I managed to snag a lot of rare and obscure heavy metal stuff I either never picked up the first time around, or could never find in stores. ("Perfect Man" by Rage, "Endless War" by Realm, in addition to a lot imports.)
I've never owned the banned cover that Scorpions album; I don't think I'd even want to have it in my house.
