Lawdy I’m sure that sounds amazin’. Mercy.
Quoted from Chisox:Lawdy I’m sure that sounds amazin’.
Yeah, that LP sounds absolutely huge.
Quoted from Thunderpants:just in, i'm looking forward to all of it!
Cool selection. Love The Jam. I'm sure what they included for The Gift came out of left-field for those (like me) more used to their earlier work. Nonetheless, this includes one of their best tracks: Town Called Malice.

Thanks Rampton. As you can see i am mainly into the funky-disco-soul, But that Jam lp has been on my list for 30 something years now. I went to a record fair and saw it for 10$, i didn't bite.
An hour later, in a1 dollar box, I found this very nice copy
Speaking of record fairs, it is getting harder and harder to find bargains since Discogs has made every record owner into gold diggers.
I left a bit disillusioned and 80$ lighter for the above.
Nice!
That Castor Bunch LP sounds great. They did a good job on that Reissue.
If you dig that stuff, checkout the Colemine Record Label. Lots of amazing modern Soul / Funk.

I sell at a lot of shows and yeah, lots of LPs are priced properly these days. The days of finding gems at shows is pretty much gone...but there should always be good values to be found.
Typically I price at Discogs Value (for condition and release) minus 20%, for anything truly valuable.
But, I also clean every LP I sell on an MW-1 w/ l'Art du son and a Distilled Water Rinse. Then everything is sleeved in a MFSL type sleeve and slipped in a new outer. It adds a lot to value, imo.
At least people who buy my stuff can throw their new LPs straight onto their decks and not worry about fouling their Cartridge.

Guitarded, People like you are in short supply over where i live in europe. My impression from the recent shows i've been to is that prices are plus 20% or so compared to Discogs average.
Sellers like you are really nice. sleeved and cleaned LP's gets my thumbs up.
I met 2 really nice sellers today. No matter the cost, vinyls brings people together in a positive way. Today was no exception.

Its that Dynaflex one LSP-4640... but nothing wrong with tht music
Quoted from Thunderpants:Its that Dynaflex one LSP-4640... but nothing wrong with tht music
Ah! - I just assumed it was the Re because it looked so clean...
Rare bird to find one of the originals in clean condition.
Though, with Dynaflex you never know how it will sound.
Could sound clean?
Could sound like a bowl of Rice Krispies?
Dynaflex.
Back to basics to start off the evening...
1977 Specialty Records Pressing -
The acoustic lead fills on this copy pretty much step into the room with you. Really impressive. Jimmy and his Tele sound incredible as always. But the detail in the acoustic pieces really stands out in this mastering.

My lifelong tinnitus is a direct result of standing in front of the speaker column at their '77 concert in Greensboro. It was Bonham's birthday IIRC.
That's why I needed some Klipschorns... so it would overcome the buzzing. (:
Quoted from Chisox:And one more Frank....
Edit: I can’t recommend these new Zappa/Mothers represses enough...
‘Oly shit... I hadn’t re-listened.

I just discovered them recently, picked up a couple LPs (Monophonics, Black Market Brass and Neal Francis) -- loving all three!

If you get a chance Grab their Sampler from RSD. Vol I might be the best LP set RSD ever put out. They re-released it on BlackVinyl as well, so easy to find.
Also, I can't endorse the Black Pumas LP highly enough.

I'll keep an eye out for it!
Yeah, the Black Pumas are what originally got my attention. I picked up all their 45s too, got a couple record reviewer friends hooked on 'em.
Quoted from MMP:Was excited to find this sealed copy at my local record store.

Boom
Quoted from guard:Little bit of sorting to do...
9 copies of "Shaddup you Face"....just in case one needs backups of backups[quoted image][quoted image]
Y'know, it was often for operators to have more than one jukebox.

Thank you for the Colemine records tip. Been streaming a bunch on my headphones and will be grabbing some of these on vinyl soon. Good stuff.
Quoted from MMP:Picked up from Amazon, we had a blast listening to it last night.

Many years since I was here

No problem Too good not to share, really.
Plaid Room Records / Colemine has a good website and great customer service. Run by 2 brothers in Ohio. Nice guys. Great shop.
I buy just about everyting they put out.
Quoted from Rampton:Wats a matter, you, eh?
Funny, my wife and I love that song. Yes, I do have the 45.
Quoted from guitarded:Barbara's Signature makes that one a collector's item!
One of these days, someone’s going to get mine.
I have been running Soundsmith Carts for the last 2-3 years. At least on my main rig. MC/MI Star and a Carmen II.
I have a handful of classic carts for the vintage rigs...Shure, Stanton, Pickering, Grado. I like to mix it up on the older bayonet arms.
I bought a Nagaoka M110 to fill in for my ClearAudio Virtuoso when the stylus went bye bye. I haven’t felt the need to get a re-tip or a new cartridge and it’s been over a year. Pretty solid for $125.

Been using this cart for about a year also. Pleasantly surprised how well it sounds.

MP110 is the actual model, my bad. Yeah I keep looking at new ones but then just end up buying more vinyl instead.

Really digging Monophonics. This recommendation is gonna cost me at least $100.

I have a spare copy of Soul Slabs Vol 1 on Red Vinyl, here...
But it is likely 2 x the cost of a new (re) one on Black Vinyl.
(Two, actually. One is sealed though and has been archived for future use.)

I know that's true. Red copies of vol 1 & 2 should be here any day.

Haha awesome, well you've cost me a couple dollaz too... I don't want to know what this thread has cost me all told.

Also, where did you get the Soul Slab LPs? They appear to be sold out on their web site and $75 each on Amazon and Discogs.
Quoted from guitarded:I have been running Soundsmith Carts for the last 2-3 years.
I had The Soundsmith repair an old Dokorder (Remember the King Biscuit Flower Hour) reel to reel for me many years ago. It came back better than new. Talked to Peter Ledermann there at the time. What a sharp guy!! Those carts must be great!
Yeah - Guy is a true craftsman and his carts are amazingly well designed. Really a treat to listen to clean LPs on those things.
