Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Only thing I was after were The Kinks 7" EPs. Store had plenty of Johnny Cash - I was tempted but decided to pass.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I think you'd do better finding the music on vinyl release. The Friday music releases don't sound so good. Rumor is they are from CDs

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Woah thanks for the info. I'll keep an eye out for that one.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I checked Everyday Music's site last night and it said that my local location was opening at 9AM today. I swung by for 9 and they were already open, with a sign on the door saying they were opening at 8AM. -rolleyes-

So of course they didn't have what I really wanted, but I picked up the blue/white vinyl repress of The Clash's self titled album. There happens to be another record store kitty-cornered from them which doesn't open until 9:30AM, so I walked across and stood in the line of about 4 people there and managed to get the record I wanted (The 20th Anniversary pink vinyl pressing of Garbage's self-titled). :banana:

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I was mildly interested in the Garbage LP, but not $40 interested.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I picked picked up the Les Paul / Mary Ford Xmas 10", Garbage, Green Day & The B52s way late tonight. 5pm at my LRS.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Me, too, as well as the overpriced Spoon 10". $12 for two songs? It's usually why I avoid buying 10" or 7" singles unless there are at least four or more tracks on them - they are usually way overpriced. At least Queen had the decency to price the "Bohemian Rhapsody" 12" single at a reasonably fair price of only $7.

I only ended up buying Tresspassers William's Differnt Stars, which finally saw it's vinyl debut - and for a double album set was only $22.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

For RSDBF, I picked up the ever-elusive album The Pod by Ween (took three stores to get one and I got the last one) and the Deerhoof live LP. I passed on a bunch of stuff this year - the pricing is just offensive on a lot of stuff. $30 for the MGMT EP?

Bull Moose has their leftovers for sale online now. http://www.bullmoose.com/c/13165/bla...ord-store-day/

While I was there, I picked up the brand new MoFi release of Miles Davis' Jack Johnson and two Steve Hackett albums for $3 each.

Waiting for this to go on sale over at WaxWorks:

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Both the Krampus and Black Christmas* soundtracks are up on Waxwork.

Their site is having some shenanigans though, as I added both of them to my cart (I even got a "Item successfully added to your cart" message) but when I went to check out it said they were sold out. Even Black Christmas, which is a pre-order.
I had to refresh the cart page a couple times and then it fixed itself and let me order them. Looking on twitter, almost everyone is having this issue.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I had no problems with my order. I ordered the candy cane version of Krampus.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Ok guys, I'm going vinyl!! At least somewhat, haha.

My wife got me a great Bday gift, a record player! But I was wondering if you could help me out a bit. Whats the advantage of vinyl; or why all the love? I like the nostalgia, classic feel and in some cases the sound of the cracking and popping. But I don't intend on getting new releases on vinyl, I don't see the advantage. Is there one? :) Thanks to anyone who participates!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Depends how it's mixed and pressed, really. All things being equal, vinyl supposedly has better bass reproduction than CD.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Ahhhh. Ok. Hmmmm well Im gonna get some records tomorrow. Can't wait to try em out!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Scored a super-nice copy of Tull's "Songs From The Wood" at Caroline's Records in Cocoa Beach, FL last weekend.

The cover was a bit tattered but it plays wonderfully. Wish I could say the same for the copy of Genesis's "Seconds Out" I picked up at the same time.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Ok so I got my first records!!!

Johnny Cash - live at folsom
Iron Maiden - stranger in a strange land 7"
Record Store Day side by side exclusive release 45"

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

So while I was out shopping at my local store I saw 2 things that I've learned were RSD exclusive. I'm thinking of going back and getting them.

The Doors - Strange Days Mono for $25
Transformers - 30th Anniversary OST in red vinyl and purple vinyl for $40

Thoughts?

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I want that Transformers vinyl but I will not pay $40 for it.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

That Doors mono sounds very good!

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Yea I've been thinking of that doors record all night. I'm probably gonna go get it!!!

As far as transformers goes, I was thinking it was too expensive also but I seem to see a lot of expensive or overpriced records. My thinking is I love transformers and have never owned the official soundtrack. Plus I'm a slave to exclusives lol

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

I can recommend the Doors Strange Days mono. I was checking it out a bit more just last weekend and, on my system,* it really sounds amazing. It is a good demo disc for what mono should sound like, in my opinion.

* Rega RP-1 with Ortofon 2M Blue, Jolida JD-9 Phono Pre-amp, Harmon Kardon 3490 Amp, Wharfedale Diamond 10.5 Towers

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Hell yea. I got the album and it sounds awesome. I'm so glad I got it. However I admit my set up is not as bad ass as some of ya'll. It's a phonograph and the sound come out of the player.

I also ordered transformers. Found it cheap. And I'm probably going to order Hawkwind.

My record store also has the anniversary OST for Ghostbusters. It's some stay puff packaging but for $40

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

i love the soundtracks. I just thought the ghostbusters thing was way overpriced. If you love Transformers though, why not? There is another version out there for $33 on Amazon though.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

In Canada I've seen that in stores for as much as $79.99, $59.99 so I grabbed it when I saw it for $45. The regular version sells around here for similar money so I'm happy with the purchase - the jacket is awesome and the etchings are cool as hell.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
 

Shit, I was afraid of that. I guess I'll have to get it at some point. :lol:
