I'm really glad to have this turntable. I'm thinking of upgrading the belt soon and putting on a Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge. Even still, it's tough to imagine it sounding better than it does!

Hey Astrochimp, where in TO are you picking stuff up from?

I mostly stick to the place here in my city, or Cheapies in Hamilton. I'm going to check out Records on Wheels in Dundas this weekend. |

Cars for me was the cheapest at $3 and with that you know there's an issue with it. It is slightly warped, but plays fine. Elvis was the highest at $10, I think its a trickier one to find. B-52's was $7 and it is like brand new. Even the sleeve is mint. Others were $5 each and are all pretty decent. Most of the stores here have similar prices. $4 and under you are taking your chances, but you might fine a gem. $5 to $9 seem decent and if its one that is easy to find it will be close to mint. $10 and above seems to be ones that are a bit more scarce. In my few weeks of collecting I have yet to see an album by Rush, Led Zep, Bowie, Floyd and of course, anything 90's. His big peeve is The Beatles. He sells Beatles stuff for fairly cheap because he believes they are common and others totally gouge on price on them. If any record sells on eBay for $50, he'll sell it for $30. If it sells for $100, he'll sell it for $75. He makes his money on continuous new stock and his store is a real gem for this area. He also won't rip off sellers. He'll give you the honest wholesale price not like a dollar or less per record like some places. |

Had to run to the store to pickup a Pearl Jam 7" for someone (I am not a big Pearl Jam fan).
While there, I got: Gary Numan - Replicas $5 Allman Bros - At Fillmore East (2LP) $5 Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage ... $1 (old Columbia label) Belle & Sebastian - 3..6..9 Seconds of Light (EP) $5 And then some jazz: http://ariealt.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/7047.jpg Eric Dolphy - Outward Bound (1964, Prestige original, much cleaner than the pic) - $20 John Coltrane - Coltrane's Sound $10 |

Scooped-up the bootleg release of Arch Enemy's new album War Eternal...the new singer is holding up for me so far. She doesn't sound like Angela, but has similar qualities that I'm enjoying. |

http://www.goodrecords.com Then there's Bill's records, which I haven't been to in years. Mostly because the store is highly disorganized, nothing is priced, and Bill is kind of a dick. http://billsrecords.com/ And there's Forever Young, which a little further out (close to Cowboys Stadium) but is pretty cool. They have a lot of cool memorabilia & rarities in their collectors den. http://www.foreveryoungrecords.com/ |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
Thanks! Appreciate it.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
That U-Turn table in the picture above has a nice vintage look to it. It looks like the cover has rounded edges (?). Nice.
Anyway, I'm going to be in Manhattan near NYU next weekend, does anyone know a good record shop in that area? I've started buying records as souvenirs when I travel: I got a Modest Mouse album at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland last week, for example. |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
Album #666 came in the mail today ... Birds of Satan -- Birds of Satan. Seems appropriate!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
Picked up these today for $27(sorry CRM, but Rush goes for 10 bucks here ;) )
http://i57.tinypic.com/2zjcck9.jpg Was happy to find The Cars debut. It is in decent shape(album's better than the cover ;) ) |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
Vinyl Junkies Record Swap at the Casbah in San Diego yesterday. Much better than the usual record show, as it catered towards the type of listeners who usually attend Casbah shows. I got a bunch of titles, but the highlight was these Bow Wow Wow imports:

I just bought a copy of The Beatles, Hey Jude on Apple in perfect condition for $3. I didn't really want that album but couldn't turn it down. The guy just got like 30 Beatles albums from the 60s and 70s still sealed, Apples, black label Capitols. Apparently, there used to a Capitol pressing plant in Allentown and this was the personal collection of some dude that has since passed away. I got a black label Help!. |

Recycled Books and CD has a nice record selection (tons of great books as well) as does Mad World Records, and Books and More. |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
Well I guess Lazaretto comes tomorrow.
Working later these days and couldn't make it to mondo for the Jurassic Park listening party. Friend of mine secured me and Amber copy though. |

Yes! I'm not a huge fan of Jack White's solo work, but this thing looks like one of the most unique vinyl records ever produced. Can't wait to get it in my hands tomorrow.
It would be cool to own for the uniqueness of it, but if I'm not going to listen to it, what's the point of even having it? |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
I really enjoyed the music. The holograms are really cool.
Fuck the Black Keys. ;) |
