That Les Baxter LP is a classic! Well done!

I caved and ordered the set. Now to wait until the end of July. I did grab a 10% discount code. Without it, after tax and shipping, it comes to about $620. The code knocked it down to around $560.

Just go to dead.net. There should be a pop up right away where you enter your email to get a 10% discount. Make sure to use an email you haven’t used before

Picked up this linear Technics a few weeks back. Got it cleaned up and working good. Really love the look of these things.

Also found this Ratt album at my father in laws house mixed among a lot Herb Albert and gospel albums

Also If anybody has a Technics SL-10 or SL-V5 for sale, hit me up.

Linear turntables are witchcraft!! Very cool sir, never did run across one in person.

Wasn't that in the Dragon's Lair and Space Ace machines? OH WAIT, that was the LD1000!

Boom Boom Boom Boom!

I always wanted a Beogram.

A pleasant surprise in the mail today.

Got mine today…putting it in one of my jukeboxes.

Sweet! Saw them at the Vic on that tour.

My local news station just did a segment on my shop for Record Store Day. Which is this Saturday. I was also able to show off a few Pins we have in store too!

What an awesome place! Wish we were closer.

Not a new record, but I'm picking these up tomorrow to make em sound better.

A mirrored pair of S-710's. I chose them over the legendary HPM-100's.

This will be my first RSD coming up. Don't really know what to expect at our local shop. Does stuff usually sell out quick?

At our local shop they'll wait outside well before the store opens to get a good shot at getting what they want.
Unfortunately a lot of them seem to be flippers.

If you see something on the RSD list that you want I suggest you call your local shop to ask how many they got, and maybe they'll tell you. Then plan accordingly.

-Paul

Yeah that is what I was afraid of. Records are as bad as Mondo poster drops when it comes to trying to snag something it seems. There isn't anything I am desperate for so not a huge loss if I don't get anything. Our store is running a buy 2 get 1 free sale all weekend tho on non RSD stuff, so hope to find a few things at least.

That sounds like a raw deal dude!

I wasn’t actively looking for a new turntable but I’ve always wanted a VPI Scout and the way this one fell into my hands can only be attributed to fate and good vinyl karma. It’s been an adventure getting it dialed in but man this thing has had my hair standing on end for two days. Also, I can’t stop listening to the new Kurt Vile album.

Chisox, that's pretty fuggin' sweet!

Thanks! I’ve always been skeptical about how much a turntable upgrade would matter, outside of how much you can fine tune how the stylus rides the groove. But I have the same cartridge installed and yeah…wow. On another note, grabbed the other 2 Colemine compilations and a thank you to I think guitarded for the recommendation? If not I apologize, it’s been a while. I’ve turned on no less than 7 people to this label and we’re all hooked. Their store is 45 mins away from my daughter’s college in Ohio and I’m gonna try to sneak off for a visit.

Excellent. Thank you sir. It’s taken a bit to get all 3 of those comps due to each of them being on backorder for a while. Which makes me root for them even more. I just need to find out how they find these bands

Awesome store

Today's playlist.

And the new to us s-710's sound great!

This turned up today... Under The Burka by Muslimgauze... thought the artwork was so attractive it was worth sharing!

Wow I didn’t know those were a thing. Eying the Axis as it’s my favorite Jimi album. I can only imagine how amazing these sound.

Apparently my cat decided the record holder is a great place to sleep. I think I need to add a few more records to the collection. A record store opened up in my home town, planning on checking that out tomorrow. I'll follow up and post what I find.

We had a cat named Larry.

That pic reminds me of one of his nicknames: "Larry-o-Speedwagon".

Happy Record Store Day! Did anyone get up early and wait on line? Our store in town shared a picture of a line that had to be 30+ people at 5:30 am.
We opted to sleep in, might go out later to browse the dregs.

If you went out, share your finds!

-Chrissi

I opted out after seeing our local store charging $60 for records that are $25-30 elsewhere.

Went to the record shop today...

IMG_20220423_130235831.jpg

Everyone needs this one.

IMG_20220423_130136263.jpg

Brings out duty in my soul!

IMG_20220423_130157071_HDR.jpg

Good scores today!

-Paul

If anybody happens to get an extra copy of Kauai, hit me up.

Checked out the new record store....most albums were at least $50. Only $140 for Metallicas' justice for all, what a steal!

I was in line at 5:30 and was the first person in line although I go to one of the smaller record shops in town. I picked up the Dead box set, Iggy Pop live album and the David Bowie EP.

My one buy today. Camera Obscura. First store I went to today was nuts. Opened at 7am. I got there at 9am, probably 200 people in line waiting to get in.

Sure, I guess I could see that for an original in amazing shape. I would say this was in ok shape; it wasn't trashed by any means. No idea what the pressing was, but regardless I find that price to be insane. The other Metallica album I posted wasn't in great shape and they wanted $50 for it.

Record store in Pittsburgh my son went to at 1030am had copies of everything still. No need to wait in line.

Black Pumas was neat. Box set of 45s that made up their entire self titled record.

Ended up grabbing the two albums I wanted from RSD on Discogs and ended up being cheaper than getting it locally anyways with the prices my local shop charges. So pretty pleased.

Way to go! Don't support independent record stores on record store day &

They sold out of what I wanted in the first 5 minutes so they weren't getting my money from these releases anyways. I wasn't camping out. I spend plenty of money there during the year.
