Re: The VINYL Thread!
I too preordered the Foos on Amazon. Don't really care about the varying covers.
Their associated HBO show looks pretty awesome as well.

How is Amazon for shipping LPs? Hopefully better care than DVD tv box sets.

I buy most new records from Amazon, 2 day free shipping with Prime is hard to beat and we are in an area where they will deliver on Sunday as well. Never had a problem

Not to mention, more often than not, they come with Auto-Rip meaning you can sometimes get a digital version of the LP for your Amazon Music Player.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
I feel a little badly that the Beatles set I ordered could be an XBOX One...
On the upside, I can probably get about 100$ by selling the Mono CD set.
I pretty much had to buy the Beatles set after I watched this:

This was meant for vinyl, not CD.

Soundstagedirect is releasing The Spin Doctors, Pocketful of Kryptonite, on kryptonite green vinyl. It sounds like an exclusive release. The owner of soundstagedirect is friends with the frontman from the Spin Doctors. I liked this album when it came out. I'm undecided on buying it now. It would be more for nostalgia that anything. I'd probably listen to it once or twice and that would be it.
I can't copy and paste from the page. First ever domestic release on vinyl.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
That Spin Doctors record has been getting a lot of flack in certain places on the web. The way I look at it, if they can sell a new copy on vinyl in 2014, then that's damn cool. I remember it being overplayed, but who cares. In 1993 when released I didn't know anyone but DJs buying vinyl. The fact there's a market for it 21 years later amazes me every time something gets rereleased.

Personally, I think it's pretty cool that it's getting a vinyl re-issue, too. I wish more albums would. The price on it is right, too. Might just have to pick up a copy.

I remember the album fondly. Played the CD over and over when it came out. These rereleases continue to amaze me as well. Pure nostalgia for me with this one.

Looks like they took down the box set. Individual albums available though.

Was able to secure another copy of the ultra rare Dying To Say This To You from The Sounds via Discogs. That is a nice site to buy some hard to find shit at reasonable prices. I made an offer and saved $50 on the deal.

Actually, Pocketful Of Kryptonite was originally released in 1991. It took two years for it to break, but when it did, it did.

Hopefully record companies can see the gap and start getting more releases out. I've also seen albums get rereleased and quickly go back out of print. Tom Petty's Wildflowers and Failure's Fantastic Planet are a couple of examples. I would love to have Wildflowers.

I haven't been on there in a while, but I sent you a friend request. I'm way behind on adding albums. I actually have an app that links to discogs so I can browse my collection. It looks like they have a mobile page now though.

It seems like a lot of albums are finally getting a release and hard to find albums are getting a new pressing. There is a large gap in 90s music that can't be found. Many albumsthat were going for hundreds of dollars have been released over the last couple of years. I've seen Cake's Fashion Nugget and Counting Crows debut both selling on ebay for $300 plus.

Completely agree on the rest. Thankfully, I've been able to get a lot of 90's albums I've wanted in the past couple of years, now that they are finally getting vinyl reissues.
