Love Herb Alpert. There's a modern remix version of his songs too.

Why So Blu?

Ha, I also like the fictional cover story featuring Arnold, Sly, and Bruce.

Why So Blu?

Random question (I may have asked it but I don't remember the answers) - do any of you vinyl fiends buy an extra copy to store away when buying a hot new release or collector's item?

Just curious.

Supermallet

No, I don't buy vinyl to resell. I buy it to listen. I do keep them in the best shape I can, but that's more for audio quality.

Geofferson

I don't think I've ever bought multiple copies. Pretty much buy to listen. I have traded/sold some over the years, not that often though.

Supermallet

Had two $30 coupons at Amoeba, and this was my haul (all original issue):

Herbie Hancock: Headhunters
Peter Gabriel: Peter Gabriel (second album)
Stevie Wonder: Innervisions
David Bowie: Hunky Dory
Frank Zappa: Waka/Jawaka
Scott Walker: Tilt
King Crimson: Starless and Bible Black
Echo & The Bunnymen: Porcupine
The Jam: Setting Sons
Prince with Miles Davis: Crucial (bootleg)

Why So Blu?

Nice.

Never. The only time I end up with multiple copies is if I have a so-so copy, and then find a really, really nice copy at a store, and can't turn it down.

But I never buy multiple copies of new vinyl.

While I was in England I picked up the following:

Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque (original Creation release)
Oasis - Definitely Maybe (original Creation release)
XTC - "Senses Working Overtime" (7" w/picture sleeve)
The Jam - "Going Underground" b/w "The Dreams of Children" (7")
The Style Council - "My Everchanging Moods" 7" (w/picture sleeve)

Nice job! I'd love to have those first two. (And I'm a huge XTC fan but have enough!)

I see a lot of Jam love lately. I just ran all my Jam albums through the Spin Clean so it's like I have all new copies!

BearFan

Picked up the 5 LP set from Die ärzte "Die Nacht der Dämonen" via amazon.de

Nice collection, my only complaint is the booklet is what was included with the CD (same size). Sounds great though

CRM114

Small but satisfying week:

Ween - White Pepper (2009 reissue on white vinyl) $15
Jonathan Rado - Law and Order (dude from Foxygen - solo album) - new
Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo - $3
King Crimson - Larks Tongues in Aspic (UK version) - $1

I went to an event at the Egyptian last night for Day of the Dead (1985). Waxork just released a deluxe edition of John Harrison's score on vinyl and - wow - did they ever do a phenomenal job on this thing. 2-LP, gatefold, THE DEAD WALK insert liner notes; it's a thing of beauty.

Geofferson

^ Glad to hear it. Mine should be arriving in the mail from Waxwork soon.

Went to a record show over the weekend:

Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline (original, old Columbia label)
Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding (original, pristine condition)
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks (original, orig back cover)
Grateful Dead - From the Mars Hotel (near mint)
Grateful Dead - Wake of the Flood (flawless)
Grateful Dead - Skullfuck (Skull and Bones) - ragged but vinyl good
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced (not original but very early copy)
Pere Ubu - Terminal Tower
Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti

Supermallet

The new Sleigh Bells LP is a pretty sweet package:



It's also meant to have a download code, although I didn't notice it in there, so I'll have to double check for it.

MBoyd

I sorta intended to buy Day of the Dead today but it wasn't in stock at the local place I visit. I can however report the clash boxset sounds amazing. Getting read to restore a couple of mono block amps with a friend of mine. Hopefully learn something from him. Just need a real pre amp now.

Supermallet

The Clash box set looks cool, but I already have original issue releases of London Calling and Combat Rock. Also, is the debut album the UK or US version?

Geofferson

FYI, the AOP13 soundtrack is up for pre-order at Death Waltz and Light in the Attic.

MBoyd

It's the UK.

Geofferson

GQ revealed the details of Mondo's Halloween soundtrack set to release on 10/31.

Supermallet

Shit, I have the Death Waltz releases of II and III. I pretty much have to get this.

Geofferson

Did anyone end up ordering one of these? I hear they're starting to arrive and the reviews have been pretty positive overall. I'm in the market for a new tt and have it narrowed down to the Orbit or Debut Carbon.

Supermallet

I'm not finding any reviews online.

Geofferson

^ Some unofficial reviews from a few folks over at Vinyl Collective that ordered one.
