Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

The title track is a rather good version of Roky Erickson's "If You Have Ghosts". Produced by Dave Ghrol, it also includes covers of Abba's "I Am A Marionette", Depeche Mode's "Waiting For The Night" and Army Of Lovers' "Crucified".

Ah, so it's a cover album. I didn't know that. Shit, Army of Lovers' Crucified? That was a great track. haha

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Ghost is covering songs by the lead of the 13th Floor Elevators (Erickson) and ABBA on the same record? I'm in :up:

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Day of the Dead stk.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I listened to Ghost's most recent album and it sounded nothing like King Diamond or Mercyful Fate. It was good, but I think that's not a great comparison to make. It sets up certain expectations that are unfair to Ghost.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Their debut album is the one that many say has a MF meets BOC feel to it. I love both albums, but they sound very different.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Hmmm, I don't know what to say then. That's who I felt (and others too) they sounded like.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Got it. I'll have to give the first album a try. The second album was still good, though.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Ah yes, BOC too - there's that connection, as well.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Listened to the first album. Now I see why people are making those connections. Funny thing is, I prefer the second album. :lol:

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I await their cover of "Crucified," because watching the original video by Army of Lovers makes me chuckle. I remember they made fun of it on Beavis and Butthead back in the day. It's a good track but silly ass hell video.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Picked up the second Portishead album. $11.99 on Amazon. The packaging is odd. The album is 50:30, and it spans two discs, at 33 rpm. Side one consists of two songs, totaling 8:47. Why not make it a 45 rpm?

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I can't tell you how many times in college I pointed at the Velvet Underground and Nico album on a record store wall and laughed at the $50 price tag. Go check what they are going for on eBay now.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I just paid a little over $80 for that original issue White Light/White Heat. And sadly, that's not the most I've ever spent on a single record.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

The Inside Llewyn Davis OST (new Coen Bros. movie) will be available at a discounted price of $6 for one day only (Tue 11/5) on Nonesuch. Not sure if this price is 100% confirmed, but something to check out tomorrow if interested.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I'll bite on that, unless the shipping is too expensive.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I bought a copy of White Light White Heat for $8 about 6 months ago. I'm pretty sure its original but it has heavy shelf wear and maybe VG vinyl. I can't see the skull on the cover but haven't really looked that close through the wear.

I just bought that white UK cover recently - late 70's early 80's.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Mine was in NM condition, so I felt okay dropping some bread on it.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Newbury comics is supposed to have Llewyn Davis too. Couldn't find it online. Maybe in store only at that price?

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Llewyn Davis is now on sale for 5.98 + 4.00 for shipping. It's under $10 total and comes with the Mp3 and poster.

I'm thinking about it………

EDIT - they add state sales tax, so my total is 10.41. Still thinking about it.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I'm not one to buy soundtracks but this is an exception. Ordered. $10.34 shipped.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

bullmoose.com also has it in stock. $2.99 shipping so saves you $1.

(not sure if theirs comes with the mp3 and print though)

Anyway, I picked up a copy as well. Price is too good to pass up.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

An unreleased Dylan song from 1963 is on it. So there's that.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

My local record store has a 50 cent room. It gets cleared out and replaced with new stuff every 3 weeks. Thousands of records. I always find good stuff that the owner either misses or doesn't meet his standards.

Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On (original, perfect condition)
Grateful Dead - History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear's Choice)
Santana - S/T (original old Columbia label, spotless)
CSN&Y - Deja Vu (original heavy textured cover)

And Elton John, all original: Goodbye Yellow Brick Rd., Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across the Water

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I probably listen to What's Going On two to three times a month. Easily one of my favorite records. I went for the MFSL version of that one.
