Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I would say 75% of my record collection is stuff I purchased between 1972-1990. At least 75%, but there's no way I'm going to count it all up.

I never stopped buying vinyl, but there was a long period when buying new vinyl was very difficult.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

All I had in the 70s were a bunch of Sesame Street records, Spider-man and The Dragon Men. And the Star Wars soundtrack of course. :)

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

The Violent Femmes second album, Hallowed Ground, gets a rerelease this week. Great album.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I was too young to be into vinyl when it was first prominent. I then held off for a while when it became popular again because I assumed I would spend way too much money on it if I get into collecting it.

I was right.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I spoke with Mo and Justin at Mondo at the show this weekend (as well as nabbing a couple Halloween records and that print Jock did), and they told me the reason the Halloween records were taking a little longer to ship is because they recently moved into a new facility.

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.
