I got the Inside Llewyn Davis "poster" today but not the record. It's more like a card that'll just get stuck inside the record. Not very attractive.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I may scoop up some used Blondie vinyl - been meaning to do that for a while now.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

FYI - Not sure how their debut is generally rated, but I think it might be the best album they ever made, even better than Parallel Lines.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Concur.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

"Rip Her To Shreds" is my all-time favorite Blondie track.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Mondo will have a booth at the Halloween: 35 Years of Terror convention in Pasadena this weekend. They're selling a variant of the recently-released soundtrack for Halloween, limited to 1000 copies. Alternate (better, imo) artwork, and orange splatter platters.

Specs and pics here: http://blog.mondotees.com/

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I prefer the non-alternate artwork, actually.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I'd love to get my hands on that poster. Too bad it'll probably be out of my range when it hits eBay.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Shit, I'll be working down the street from the convention center this weekend, too. Fuck, i'm tempted to stop by and scoop one up.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Well, I AM the guy running the con. Stop by and come see the festivities!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Oh shit, I should come by just to say hi. Still, Pasadena's a bit out of my way.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I got the solid orange Halloween. Can't decide if I should try and get this one. The only one that eats at me is that pink Drive I didn't get.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

So people have received their copies of the Halloween release? I haven't even received a shipment confirm yet!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

haven't received my Halloween LP ordered from Mondo. I think the solid orange is a randomly inserted variant - but I think I like the splattered version better.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

MBoyd lives in Austin so he probably picked it up at their shop. I don't think they've begun to ship them yet.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Exactly. I run over there on Fridays and pick up usually, unless they're closed up getting ready for a show.

I'm wondering what the solid orange pressing number is compared to the 1000 for the splatter.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Fuck, I'm right down the street. I can see the convention center from here!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

How many of you collected/hung onto vinyl before the resurgence?

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Not me. I just got into vinyl this year.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I started collecting used jazz records/exotica/lounge in the 90s. Picked them up cheap at half Price. Got rid of them when I moved unfortunately. Never got to listen to them. :( got into the vintage gear last year.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

And my question wasn't meant to sound snobby (looking at it, it kinda sounds that way)...I was just wondering since I have a decent collection, but have only bought 1 piece of vinyl in over 10 years. All my stuff was from pre-CD that I never got rid of. I also have a set up and working turntable. (Although my wife just got all her dads vinyl since he passed away and he had a little less than I did, but lots of great late 60s / 70s stuff to add to my late 70s / 80s stuff)

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I've been collecting vinyl since the mid 70's, when I first started collecting music to begin with. Never got rid of any of any of it, even after I started collecting CDs more prominently in the late 80s. Never thought it would make the comeback it has, though, but glad I never parted with it. Strange how the wheel turns.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I started collecting vinyl in the 70s and still have all of my old albums and 45s. I have all of my sisters records from the 60s as well.
