Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I started buying vinyl in high school -- this would have been the mid-90s. I started frequenting garage sales and soon realized many had records for sale. I figured it was a great way to build a music library on the cheap. I've kept many of the ones I bought and have been periodically picking up new/used records over the years since then when I feel like it.

There are 3 used record shops within biking distance of my house, so that helps. Picked up a couple Phil Collins albums and the soundtrack to First Blood over the weekend. All in fine condition and for < $12 all in.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I had about 300 records pre-CD that I kept all these years.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Over the past week, I got:

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited (1965 second release) - One of the greatest albums of all time

The Velvet Underground (3rd) - UK 1971 release - spotless

The Velvet Underground - Live at Max's Kansas City (original Cotillion release - spotless)
I remember seeing this in the bargain bin over and over and never buying it because of the sound quality. Finally got it.

Lou Reed - Berlin (I actually think I have this already. I have to check the archives)

Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde (1966) Stereo Claudia Cardinale cover

The Grateful Dead - Aoxomoxoa - original green WB label
Tidbit: Did you know the GD logo can also be read "We Ate the Acid" ??

Bob Dylan - Another Side of... (1964 release)

------

By the way, those old thick 60's releases sound so good. They are impervious to scratches.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Just got a shipping notice for my Halloween order.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

As did I. Kind of upset Death Waltz didn't get the rights to this since they did releases for Halloween 2 & 3.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I ordered a pack of outer vinyl sleeves Saturday afternoon and they were delivered yesterday (Sunday) at 5pm via UPS. First time I've ever had Sunday delivery from Amazon. I reckon they've started that part of the service for PRIME members on selected items.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Did anyone else get the Evil Dead remake soundtrack from Unseen Forces? Meant to post about it a few weeks ago. They did quite a nice job on the packaging.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Yep, I got Lego Marvel last Sunday. Didn't even know it had arrived until I checked the order page.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I didn't know until my friend knocked on the door and he had this box from Amazon. I didn't hear the door knock from UPS.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

It's USPS, actually.

And I don't mind the different labels for the Halloween movies. They're both boutique labels, and both specialize in semi-obscure genre stuff.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

the 1950-60's ?? ;)

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Yep, way too young!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I received my Halloween vinyl from Mondo on Saturday - lucked out and got the orange variants.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I thought about it, but passed. I heard the packaging was stellar on this, but it's just not a record I'd give a spin more than once.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Here's a classic. Hope I can find another copy someday:

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I checked my Llewen Davis order from Bullmoose and discovered it canceled. Didn't even send me a notice. That was my first order and it doesnt make me want to order from them again.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

If You Have Ghost

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

^ Yeah, that's pretty awesome. Gave mine a spin over lunch hour -- sounds great :up:

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

It sure does!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

When I try to track my Mondo package, the link says it can't find any information. That is not comforting.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I got my copy from Nonesuch last week. It's pretty good but most Coen soundtracks are...

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Still waiting on my U-turn turntable...can't wait to be able to join in on the conversation. Been picking up some albums in the meantime. Just found out Empire of the Sun's most recent album is now on vinyl, will be scooping that up soon.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

My Mondo Halloween set arrived. Black vinyl. Beautiful packaging.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Just won an auction on the MFSL version of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars. Less than $50, which I consider to be a good deal for that particular issue.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Also, here are some photos of records I've listened to recently:

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

^ sexy stuff, bro!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Stuff I got this weekend:

Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender $10
Avett Bros - Magpie and the Dandelion (already found a used copy :up: ) $12
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass (finally found a clean copy with cover still attached, untouched poster) $20
Velvet Underground & Nico (3 Men with Beards copy - finally realized I'll never own an original copy) $16.99


The recent re-lease of Ziggy on vinyl has the 5.1 SACD mix included. Or is it DVD-Audio? Can't recall.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I have heard the SACD mix before. The one I just bought is from 1981, IIRC.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Any RSD purchases?

I picked up the U2 10" Ordinary Love, Jack Johnson Live at Third Man Records and the Nirvana 180g In Utero.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

JR.com has all vinyl at 30% off for today only.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I picked up the Miles Davis mono releases, Doors, which all sound stunning. Haven't yet listened to In Utero, the Duran Duran, U2 or John Denver and the muppets. Also got Linus and Lucy just for fun. Already have the full album. Couldn't find grinch so I ordered it from Amazon last night with some accumulated cc points.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Halloween stk. (black vinyl)
Halloween II stk. (orange vinyl)
Jan & Dean Carnival Of Sound
Bob Dylan Side Tracks (rsd)
Ten Big Stiffs (rsd)

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Stone Temple Pilot's Tiny Music is coming out December 16th on limited edition light blue vinyl. I remember liking this album when it came out, but I probably haven't listened to it in 15 years. I'll be picking it up though.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

RSD was pretty lame. It's a total cash grab. I would have loved to have the Billy Bragg and Wilco albums but at $39 a piece, they can kiss my ass. The Flaming Lips EP was $20. The X box set was $100. I wanted the Zabriskie Point soundtrack - $30. Nope.

I bought Dawes Stripped Down at Grimeys and the Bob Dylan 3 LP "Side Tracks" just because I already was there and wanted to buy something.

On a better note, I got the first Tubeway Army LP for $15 while I was there. (and another copy of Let It Be for $2.)

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I'm a big STP fan, and Tiny Music is right up there with Purple, in my book.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

STP and your avatar don't compute. :)

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

For the 80s synth/Carpenter/soundtrack fans, I recently picked up these - both albums can be streamed on bandcamp as well.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I just ordered Slasher Dave's album the other day. Killer stuff. I love his work in Acid Witch, too.

Got my Mondo Halloween vinyls in the mail - one black, one orange. Stoked!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Never pigeonhole a fat turkey like me! :)

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Finally found a copy of Jenny Lewis' Acid Tongue.
