Quoted from Fulltilt:I loved that ride! Now that my daughter is grown, I doubt I'll ever see it again. ):
I picked this similar one up a long time ago...can't remember where. It was great sounds for scaring the kids on halloween!
Oh man, I had that record when I was a young'n. Mom hated it.
I haven't found the right jukebox yet but I've been buying up 45s to put in one once I do. Would love to have one with a visible transport but that particular feature seems to about double the $$ from what I've seen.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Saturday startup.
Quincy accompanied by the Brothers Johnson, Stanley Clarke, Billy Cobham, Bill Withers, Billy Preston and even a little Stevie Wonder.
Damn son, I am right there with you. Would you like to come with me to the land of ladies?
Quoted from electricsquirrel:The record store we go to
It’s a bit of a hike from you but have you ever checked out Record Connection in Ephrata? He’s got a ridiculous amount of vinyl, I’ve been picking out 45s for the jukebox I don’t have yet too. 
Quoted from electricsquirrel:For anyone close enough to visit.
Definitely worth the trip.

That is not far off my path to the monthly tournament at Penn Skate, I will have to check it out.
Quoted from vid1900:Common "Resurrection" on Vinyl explicit version. $6.30 Choose local pickup for free shipping
Showing OOS already. Bummer, that's such a fantastic album.
Quoted from vid1900:It's back in stock, still at $6.30
Good lookin' out, was able to snag one.
Quoted from vicjw66:Can anyone find an original Joy Division's first album? And no, I'm not a Nazi sympathiser.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Is it not on Discogs?
https://www.discogs.com/sell/list?master_id=4805&ev=mb&format=Vinyl
https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/498855?ev=rb
It is, there are two copies of the original 7" version (assuming that's the one desired due to the comment about Nazis) ranging between $3800-$5000. The 12" is far easier to locate and considerably less dear, not to mention all the dubious reprints over the years.
Quoted from vid1900:Tool $7.98 today
They were decades ahead of their time with the Opiate thing....
That’ll go nicely with some of my Christmas presents! Took my wife to see APC this year, now she’s obsessed.
Quoted from doompin:The receiver weighs nearly 100lbs but Vol 4 is the heaviest thing ever recorded. My well loved original copy.
I love the silver-face Pioneers from the 70's. Currently rocking a much more modest SX-780.
Quoted from Schusler:Especially the Cryptic Writings album...
Figures, that's my favorite album of theirs. Guess I'll have to wait for a reissue or something.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Ain't we funk'in now.
Friday funk!
Nice! I still put "Look Out for #1" on regularly... so much fun.
Quoted from Fulltilt:There has been a notable lack of Springsteen. Clarence Clemons was incredible.
I was in Asbury Park the night Clarence passed. I wish I could say I was there for better reasons, but I was taking my wife to see Marina and the Diamonds at the Stone Pony. We did go to Silverball afterwards though!
Picked up the RSD release of Nebraska a couple years back, it will always be my favorite of his.
Bummer about O'Riordan, but she knew the deal. Salvation is free.
Only seen Al Stewart once but he was enchanting. He was opening for Dave Mason and what was left of Traffic at the Chameleon Club in Lancaster PA around '98, got to meet them all backstage after the show.
Quoted from yfz450:Know that club well. Lived in Lancaster a few years in the early 80’s when I worked for RCA.
Oh yeah, I know where the old RCA complex was out there on 23/New Holland Ave. Berle now, I think? We inherited some pretty talented engineers from them when I was working at Cardinal Technologies in the early to mid-90's, back when retail electronics were still being manufactured in the US.
Quoted from yfz450:Oh yeah Cardinal, then you must know John Troutman. He was my supervisor at RCA. I worked with most of those engineers as I was an engineering technician there.
I do indeed remember John. We didn't work directly with each other but his cubicle was only a few over from mine. Small world...
He's one of a few from that team I've lost track of but I still keep in touch with quite a number of ex-Cardinals. It was a fascinating and dynamic place to work, like nothing I've experienced since really. We even kept a keg of Molson Golden in the lunchroom on Fridays...
Quoted from rolandthoms:wont resonate with you classic rockers (my default listen also) but I just received this in the mail yesterday. My gift of vinyl to my 16 year old son.
Moby's "play"
I was a big Moby fan in the 90's and saw him live quite a few times. Kinda grew out of his music but here's hoping that album gets your son as much "play" as it did for me back when it came out! lol It was a guaranteed panty-dropper back then, up there with the second Enigma album.
Quoted from shock_me:Happy Birthday! I turned 52 yesterday. This was my choice.
Great album, love the phone too! Western Electric 500DM?
Quoted from shock_me:Thanks! The only info embossed on the phone, (which actually works), is Northern Telecom 1970. Prolly Canada's version of the Western Electric.
Yes, long story with antitrust suits going back to the 40’s but they are essentially the same. I’m working on a similar vintage Nortel this morning, the DMS 250:
Quoted from lasermel:I love the "vintage" feel of the equipment from "my" era and have restored a humble Pioneer system that was nice in the 70's
SX-1250? We have a couple Pioneer silver-face guys in here.. I'm still rockin' the SX-780 but I dug out a pair of Andrew Jones' speakers for it this week, wife wasn't digging the NHT/M&K setup I had been using.
Quoted from pacmanretro:Is that a set for a scene from The Matrix?!
I wish, because then I could take the pill... no, it's where I've been spilling my coffee for the past couple years. At night I like to put my head down, walk real fast and pretend I'm Red 5 making the trench run at the end of Episode IV.
Quoted from Fulltilt:That looks like my old IBM XT and dot matrix printer. (:
I think you need this in your shirt pocket when preparing to take out the Death Star.
You're gonna make me go look now, but I think it's actually an old Sun workstation... definitely a 9-pin dot matrix though, and I do love that noise.
I would totally walk around with that toy in my shirt pocket, even though he's not how I got my nickname mmkay.
Quoted from Jason43:Been in a major Sabbath mood lately...
Have you checked out Ghost? Especially their early stuff, it’s like Sabbath meets BÖC.
Quoted from MrDucks:If you don’t want to get the emails, they’re usually all posted on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/VinylDeals/
Dammit, why did I go look?
Air - Moon Safari $11.77
Beck - Guero $10.13
Stevie Wonder - Talking Book $9.89
Plus all of what Vid posted and a couple others... oh and that Bowie showed up on my porch yesterday. I'm gonna have to put myself on a budget soon!
Quoted from electricsquirrel:Funny you should mention Johnny Marr. Last night I had a visit with the Smiths!
If I could only have one Smiths album, this would be the one.
Quoted from Fulltilt:5 thumbs up if I could. Played it slam out.
I had to go listen to Jack Straw another 100 times.
Which reminds me, a kid my dad grew up with passed away last week:
Quoted from ssbodyman:Lots of good prices you guys keep finding lately, must mean the vinyl hype is fading. Not that I care.
Tonight's dinner music.
Nice, those guys are local to me. Been seeing their shows since the Public Affection days...
Quoted from ssbodyman:Very cool! I unfortunately have not had the chance to see them live but would love to.
This is as far back as I go with them.
That's still my favorite of their albums...
Amazon has Michael Jackson's Thriller for $10.75 this morning.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B2M9H76
Quoted from zedhed:The Word as Law reissue in crispy clear vinyl
Always glad to see another Henry Rollins fan.
Quoted from Ak_tilt:This might be the best thread on Pinside right now! Just listening to a few new acquisitions as I wind down on a Sunday afternoon.
Love Angel Dust and I hadn't even thought to look for Calexico on vinyl... my mailman hates me.
Quoted from Fulltilt:The Brotha's!
Showed up the same day as Thriller, so we got all kinds of Q up in here.
Quoted from vid1900:Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love & Hate $6.99
Alright, if this price does not get you to buy it, nothing will.
amazon.com link »
Yeah, I scooped it yesterday along with Bjork - Vulnicura ($14.45) and DangerDoom - Mouse & the Mask ($12.99). This is like the sixth time I've bought records in the past month after I said I needed to stop. Gonna wind up with cirrhosis of the wallet at this rate.
Quoted from waldo34:Recent find. Took a flyer on the album having really only known the Rehab song. Turns out to be a really good listen.
I picked that one up on vinyl recently too but was already hopelessly hooked on the album from the first time I heard her sing, "What kind of fuckery is this?"
I'd follow it up with 'Right on Time' too... 
Motorhead - Ace of Spades $11.92
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019Y4S8XI
Went to an old school vinyl swap meet yesterday, found all kinds of good stuff to keep me spinning.
This reminded me of the film adaptation of Tom Stoppard's play, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead... haven't watched it in a while but 'Seamus' was a perfect fit.
Quoted from yfz450:Nice start of the evening!
Sour Diesel? Blue Dreams here.
I gotta do something nice for my mailman. He's walking up to my steps a couple times a week instead of just filling the box through his Jeep window and he's not built like he's used to doing that.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Raise your hand if you remember Mathew Southern Comfort.
It was a “cut out” at the time. I think they used floppy disc punches. (:
I can't raise my hand, but I remember floppy disc punches. Mine would take a square chunk out of your palm if you didn't use it on a flat surface. Didn't care, got to use the other side!
Those cutouts have an interesting part of the tale of when the mafia took over MCA Records though... ever follow that?
Quoted from Coyote:Local record-store owner (she's in her 80's now..) explained it to me -
Albums with the cut or slit are items unsold, returned to the distributor. They would get credit for returned albums that they could put towards OTHER albums (not a 1, of course! The original 'restocking fee'!) and these returned ones were marked, and then sold to discount stores.
More to the point, royalties were not paid to the artists on unsold (AKA cutouts) records. So when the mafia guys got control of MCA, they would make sure their jukeboxes were stocked up with cutouts to keep the cash flowing in the right direction. They already had complete control of the coin-op business as it was the perfect money laundering setup.
Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats first album on white vinyl is down to $17.46 today.
https://smile.amazon.com/Vol-1-UNCLE-ACID-DEADBEATS/dp/B074HC8LBP
Quoted from bob_e:What model Pioneer reicever ?? SX-750 or 850
I have a SX-950 85 watts rms per channel
the kind i shook the windows with... my neighbors windows
Close, SX-780. Black meters instead of silver, not much else different.
Quoted from snyper2099:Playing this: overlooked in my humble opinion...
I was five years old the first time I heard that album, still remember it like yesterday. Can still remember every note of every song, sing you every lyric. It's on my short list to find on vinyl...
My favorite Jayhawks album, Hollywood Town Hall, is only $13.26 today.

Quoted from Chisox:I was looking for a new R&B/soul album and grabbed this. It’s quite good. Reminds me of Sam Cooke.
Good stuff. I'm still hoping to find Raphael Saadiq's The Way I See It on vinyl, another nearly perfect R&B/soul album.
Quoted from Impzilla:Got mine coming, one of the Stones best...
Grabbed one too... I remember being around 15 when I first started hanging out at the local record shop, seeing a copy of this with the working zipper and suddenly understanding the point of rock and roll.
Quoted from Chisox:Some say he’s an acquired taste. I think he’s brilliant.
I don't smoke cigarettes any more, but if I do I'm listening to Tom Waits when I do it.
Quoted from bob_e:Here are eight from John Valby aka Doctor Dirty.
He was in a Movie "Loosing It" a teenager movie.
He was playing piano in a Bar in Tijuana..wearing a white tuxedo.
Oh. My. God. I'd never heard of him but my wife had an autographed cassette in her car when we first started dating, apparently she heckled him enough at one of his shows that he came over and said 'hi' afterwards. I'll have to show her this, she'll get a huge kick out of it.
Quoted from bob_e:He still does shows! at 73 years old!
http://www.johnvalby.com even has u-tube videos you can watch
has been making CD's forever. I saw a list on wiki.. I ordered these back in the early 80s.
You ain't kiddin. I'm even off that night...
Franklin Township Fire Dept
Lehighton, PA 18235
Show Start 8pm
Good lookin' out, her mind will be blown. Maybe other things will also.
Quoted from bob_e:how far of a drive?
About an hour and a half but I know where all the pinball machines up there are, also have an old friend who lives nearby and might appreciate the show. He's a former pro-wrestler turned hypnotist and loves to wallow in the filth now and again. I'll drag a whole bunch of assholes out for this one, letcha know how it goes. Been watching those YT videos, dude's still got it!
I picked up that Motorhead along with a couple Calexico records for $12/ea about a month ago. My wife already told me I need a better plan for storing all these records, so I ignored her and ordered a couple more today. Sure wish they'd press that new Janelle Monae album on vinyl, might be the best album I've heard in the past year.
I buy mostly new vinyl but when I was a kid, I remember having to clean the little dust balls off the stylus as they accumulated every now and then. That just happened again the other night, not sure what my wife was spinning but there it was like back in the day and I had to show her what to do. These days everything goes into MSFL sleeves and gets the carbon fiber brush treatment before spinning so there's very little dirt. I have some spray and microfiber cloths in case I see something nasty. I've been tempted to buy a spin washer but I don't have the time/space/need/etc for one.
Love the Jackie Brown soundtrack. I remember going straight from the theater after watching the movie to whatever CD store was in the mall and buying it, then going back the next day to buy my first Delfonics album.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:How were they?!? Where u see em at!
Santander Arena in Reading PA, first time for Mastodon but we see Primus at least once a year. Great show, the opener ‘All Them Witches’ was the real surprise. I coulda been just fine with them playing through Mastodon’s set.
(not my pic, we’ve started just leaving our phones in the car...)
Quoted from 30FathomDave:All Them Witches is awesome. I'd love to see them live.
I like Mastodon in small doses. They're a great band, but like a lot of technically-proficient metal bands, I find them to be a bit "samey" after a handful of songs. I've got a signed copy of Leviathan on vinyl. I should post that in this thread one of these days...
I went straight home and ordered Sleeping Through The War on vinyl... they were solid. I'm not sure if it's good or bad when I can anticipate every move a drummer makes but I was pretty locked-on.
Mastodon's lead singer was corny, he mostly masturbated his guitar the whole night and kept pointing at one single fan he either liked or didn't (couldn't tell) who was behind us somewhere. Plus they suffered from the same problem Clutch did last year, just not sounding that great through Primus' sound equipment. Small doses sounds about right.
Quoted from bob_e:He still does shows! at 73 years old!
Got the full story, apparently my wife had her tits out on stage at one of his shows fifteen years ago (underage). The second time she saw him, he kissed her bare ass while she mooned the crowd. In this photo, he's trying to stick his finger in her ass but failed to negotiate her jeans/t-shirt/underwear configuration. He's still a dirty old man for sure.
07A7CB9F-0C1F-4DDE-A3D3-43F0BD5310F2 (resized).jpegQuoted from Risingjay1:They are B&W 805 matrix speakers. I just don't use them but they sound fantastic. Not sure on price though but it could be worked out.
Interested in trades?
records (resized).jpgQuoted from Fulltilt:Or willing to admit they listened to Kenny Rogers...
Still do. Still have the range too so I sing along.
BBF59A05-43EF-44F3-8B3B-ED9167705338 (resized).jpegQuoted from vid1900:amazon.com link »
Pearl Jam - Ten $14.47
If you are still alive 30 years after this album came out, you are doing OK.
I was too young to understand their angst but I wore this cassette out anyway. Been watching the vinyl as it has been dropping a little bit each week for a while now... not sure where the bottom is but yesterday I snagged a copy of Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory for $4.99!
Quoted from waldo34:Getting my funk on to start the weekend.
Excellent idea.
E6B22320-4B37-4F08-956D-7A140CA31282 (resized).jpegQuoted from pacmanretro:Where have you guys purchased those weights? I have no use for one on my linear table, but may consider buying one just to try out on my Sherwood or technics.
I think I just went on Amazon and looked for the one that weighed the most: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076BMGDBG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage
As others have said, it mostly helps with warped vinyl but I've also noticed it minimized skipping when thunderfoot stomps through the living room.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Such a great album. Supernaut, Snowblind and my favorite piano song of all time, Changes.
Yeah, probably my favorite Sabbath album if I had to pick one.
By the way, ever hear this rendition of Changes?
Quoted from waldo34:KISS anyone? Love this album.
A friend sent this to me recently... apologies in advance.
Quoted from Chitownpinball:Alright ive been slacking. These have been my new pick ups lately.
Which reminds me, they're re-issuing the first five King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard albums - 5000 of each in colored vinyl. They were supposed to go on sale last night but Flightless' website melted down when fans refreshed it to death. I'm still on the fence, shit adds up fast! $40/ea plus shipping from Australia, and might as well grab some ORB and Babe Rainbow records while I'm at it...
ebay.com link: A Deeper Understanding 2LP Vinyl w Digital Download
The War on Drugs' most recent album is $12.58 shipped today on eBay.
Quoted from Redketchup:My little daugther set up! She loves vinyl
[quoted image]
Interesting you say that, my daughter never expressed much interest in music until we made the turntable the focus of our living room. She gets off the bus about twenty minutes before I get home from work and it's not uncommon for me to find she has put a record on to listen to while doing her homework. She still asks Alexa to play the music I don't listen to now and then but I like to think she's being exposed to a pretty good variety.
Quoted from JethroP:Where's the blue oysters?
Right here.
3BF45E00-CB05-4C6F-90B6-0F778B01EEB8 (resized).jpegQuoted from Jam_Burglar:Dude, you've got the "Thunder Road" board game! My brother and I got that back in the 80s and loved it. Basically Mad Max the board game.
Oh wow, my brother and I had that game too! I hadn't thought about it in years...
Quoted from EdisonArcade:I wondered where I remembered "Dad I'm in jail" from. That had to be it.
I remembered it from Pump Up the Volume; there's a scene where Christian Slater's character plays it on his pirate radio show.
I wanted a pirate radio station of my own so bad when I was a kid. I think I still do but the moment is gone...
Quoted from vid1900:Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love & Hate $6.99
Alright, if this price does not get you to buy it, nothing will.
Which reminds me, I was surprised by this recently:
Quoted from Chisox:Every year I bust out a good bottle of bourbon and sit down and play the first four (and most vital) U2 records. I was a total U2 fanboy in the 80’s and thought they could do no wrong. Well that was true for about 10 years. Either way, these are all great and I really enjoy doing this every year.
I don't listen to them much anymore but I was also a huge U2 fanboy... still have a lot of rare stuff squirreled away somewhere. I did just pick up their new one on double blue vinyl, need to find a time to give it a proper hearing.
Quoted from electricsquirrel:What's the story on that cool looking table under the album?
That caught my eye too. I saw a picture elsewhere on the internet recently of a pinball bar in the PNW that had tables like that.
Quoted from vid1900:The last good Rush album before they got all synthed out: Moving Pictures $7.39
Good lookin', I almost jumped on that the other day when it was still around $14. Already have that particular Lana Del Rey but I've been trying to buy Ultraviolence for some time now... always gets cancelled when I find it for a reasonable price.
No RHCP though, I just can't anymore. I liked Mother's Milk when it came out but only because my girl at the time was turned on by it. BSSM was the last one I bought and I can't stand anything after that.
Quoted from jazzmaster:For some unknown reason, I have this habit of pairing albums and listening to them together. Sometimes they have very little in common, sometimes they do. For me, Frosting on the Beater's cosmic twin is Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub. These records were both released (at least in the US) by the same label about 18 months apart and they were both produced by Don Fleming. While these bands have little else to do with one another they both owe more than a little back rent to Big Star.
Anyway, if earworm harmonies, mind melting melodies and fuzzy guitar hooks are your thing, neither of these records will disappoint.
[quoted image]
Own both of those albums, agree 100%. They usually end up getting played in the same sesh.
Quoted from RedPlunger:“Oh my god, they’re Gorgeous.”
Great adds ya’ll. Gza, Teenage Fanclub, Zappa, Posies.
[quoted image]
Great album. My brother-in-law introduced me to it.
Quoted from RandomTask:Just found the club... This is what my 3 year old picked to listen to tonight... I think I'm doing a good job parenting...
[quoted image]
I'm a firm believer in music as a form of communication when other methods aren't working or have yet to be established. So yes, I'd say you're doing an outstanding job of parenting.
Quoted from scampcamp:Found this Stryper album at a flea market/antique shop in Destin Florida while on vacation. They are a 80’s Christian rock group & are very good. I think they had a couple of videos on MTV.
Yeah, they have a new album out. It's too edgy for Wally World though...

Quoted from lasermel:Just in today and chillin' with it tonight.....[quoted image]
I finally ordered a copy, should be here any day. Love that album!
I'll have to post some of my recent finds when I get a chance... all sorts of good stuff.
Quoted from Waderade812:Always a fan of that Billy Joel album. A friend saw him in Atlanta around 2000. He said Billy set a bottle of whiskey on the piano when he first came out. When he left the stage the bottle was completely empty. And he didn't spill it.
Probably drove himself home too. 
Quoted from chubtoad13:How do you guys feel about colored limited edition vinyl? For some reason I am drawn to them but I have no idea why.
Do you spend the extra on LEs or save the $?
I almost never spend extra for it but I will watch for deals and get color or splatter vinyl if I can.
Quoted from chubtoad13:Picked this up yesterday. Baroness - “Gold and Grey”
[quoted image][quoted image]
I still need to grab a copy of Yellow and Green on vinyl. That's far and away my favorite of theirs...
Quoted from MMP:[quoted image]
I'm really digging this album! Caught the tour once already, might try to see them again this summer when they're on the road with the Flaming Lips.
Quoted from Waderade812:This is usually a winter day album. But sounding great tonight. [quoted image]
I had never heard of this band until last week when the Frightened Rabbit tribute album dropped. Gonna have to check it out.
Quoted from Waderade812:This is usually a winter day album. But sounding great tonight. [quoted image]
By the way, this album is under $10 on Amazon today if anyone is looking to pick up a copy.

Love those things.
sleeves (resized).jpgQuoted from Madmax541:looking for some help in selecting a turntable.
Curious to what you have and why?
Looking to keep it under $300
Please help provide recommendations.
Looking forward to this.
I'm currently using a Fluance RT81 (https://www.fluance.com/rt81-high-fidelity-vinyl-turntable-record-player-with-premium-cartridge-diamond-needle) and am very happy with it. I also have a Technics SL-D2 also but it started giving me trouble and so it's on the bench waiting for some of my free time (hah!).
Quoted from Chitownpinball:RELEASE DAY! Got mine last night.....any one else? Super pissed I missed the aussie limited pressing...so much cooler[quoted image]
Probably not as pissed as I was when I grabbed a beer today and realized I shoulda planned my visit to Asheville a little better.
5DABD6E9-39A1-46FB-BB20-9905CA003192 (resized).jpegQuoted from Fulltilt:And on the 28th we have Hot Tuna at the Orange Peel.
You could still make the pinball museum though. (:
I almost went to see Baroness at the Orange Peel on Wednesday but ended up being too tired. I did make it to the pinball museum though; cool place... good cheap beers and friendly staff too.
Quoted from Fulltilt:If I knew you were there, I'd driven over, brought you over to Silverball City and have had some real beers... (:
Now THAT woulda been sweet!
Definitely could have planned my trip a lot better all around. We stayed in a VRBO and they had a turntable as part of their entertainment system I didn't notice in the listing; shoulda/coulda brought some good vinyl although they did have a handful of classics.
That said, having so many hot pinball spots near my home has kind of spoiled us. There were a few places we could have checked out but all the titles were ones we either play regularly on location or have local friends who own very nice examples.
Quoted from Evets:How did I miss this thread?
And just like pins, the vinyl seems to multiply quickly. When I first came across this thread I had a dusty turntable in the basement and maybe two dozen records, tops. Lightning had blown up our TV and my wife suggested not replacing it... so out came an amplifier and speakers and the fun began.
I was rearranging furniture the other day and realized I've bought another couple hundred since then. Not complaining though, it has re-ignited my love of listening to music that had gotten tarnished over the years by all the MP3 and streaming options... I used to never put a cassette away until I'd played through the whole thing and had forgotten how much more I enjoy getting into a whole album rather than just a couple random songs. For that, I thank you guys.
Quoted from Chisox:I’m about to buy another one of these as mine’s about maxed out at 500 lps. Very sturdy and easy flipping through them, just like at a record store. They also sell dividers that I’m going to get and label as my. albums are arranged alphabetically.
https://www.lpbin.com/[quoted image]
I've been considering building one like that using these plans:
Quoted from EdisonArcade:Like the Cassius!!
[quoted image]
Yeah my wife found that one but I really like it.
Quoted from MMP:One new from Georgia Anne Muldrow
Great late night album! Been streaming it but have the black/green split vinyl on the way.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Here’s a poll question.. vinyl independent..
Do you prefer your speaker grills on or off?
I usually leave 'em on but with the right amount of my preferred ergoline alkaloids I swear they sound better off. Which is funny, because my ears are absolutely hammered.
Quoted from Chisox:Lots of new vinyl came this week. This new Sturgil is outstanding. They just made a straight up rock record and it’s badass.[quoted image]
Haven't listened to it yet but my cousin texted me, "This new Sturgil album sounds like he was drinking White Claw when he made it." Now I'm even more curious.
Quoted from 72Devilz:The world weighs on my shoulders
But what am I to do?
You sometimes drive me crazy
But I worry about you
I know it makes no difference
To what you're going through
But I see the tip of the iceberg
And I worry about you
This was always one of my favorite Rush albums.
'You know how that rabbit feels
Going under your speeding wheels
Bright images flashing by
Like windshields towards a fly'
Quoted from Fulltilt:Mid week Manson.
Sure wish they’d repress Antichrist Superstar. It’s crazy what those go for.
Quoted from 72Devilz:if I were to explain Tomita’s music to somebody who’s never heard his music I’d have to say it’s best summed up as a sonic representation of
You misspelled DMT. 
Great album. The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld was clearly inspired by it and that's been in my top 5 since the 90's. I'll have to keep an eye out for it on vinyl.
Quoted from Fulltilt:BLAM!
Muhfkn Q!
Did you see Duclaw has a Strawberry Letter 23 out? It's on the sour end but very tasty.
Quoted from Chisox:What are they like? I like the description on the sticker and the cool cover.
Heavy psych space rock/doom... reminds me somewhat of Naxatras.
Quoted from Chisox:Guess who? This sumbitch is playing the United Center in April. That’s crazy and and I’m so happy for him. 25,000 people and it sold out in a heartbeat.[quoted image]
How much are those damn tickets? Guess I'll have to rob a bank.
I'm just bummed he's not playing anywhere near me.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Who else remembers the Dregs? Steve Morse burning the guitar.
Used to catch them in Chapel Hill back... well way back...
[quoted image]
Last week I took a big box of CDs I didn't listen to anymore to the local used record shop and traded them for credit. As I was digging through the stacks, this guy kept following me around... asking random questions about what bands I like, almost felt like he was cruising me. After I found enough stuff to even out my credit I started heading for the front when he grabbed a Flying Colors album off the wall and said, "What about these guys? You ever hear of them?" I just nodded, said yeah guys from Dream Theater and Spock's Beard right? He quickly added, "And Steve Morse!"
I couldn't resist, I said "Oh, the guy from Kansas?" He looked at me like I'd just tracked dog poop into his living room.
Quoted from chubtoad13:I didn’t think they were putting that album out on vinyl. How is the pressing?
Quoted from guitarded:That has to be Black Market, no? Haven't seen a thing about Official Repease of this on LP yet.
Yeah, not legit... I was up playing pinball at Rock Fantasy this weekend and couldn't just leave it on the shelf. Squeezed it on to 2 LPs but I expect the actual release to be on 3 or 4 - and probably cost twice as much. Sounds pretty good to me but my ears have taken a pretty good beating over the years so YMMV.
Quoted from guitarded:Thanks. That was what I figured, but most of the ones I have seen have a different cover...got a little excited there.
I have been patiently waiting on the Vinyl release. Haven't even heard the new album yet. At this point, I refuse to give in until I get an official pressing.
If being a Tool fan doesn't teach you patience, nothing will.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Pinball hand-trucking skills come in handy for other things. (:
The perfect match for vinyl.
[quoted image]
Oh how I wish I had room for some K-Horns! I'd settle for LaScalas but still lose them in the divorce.
Quoted from stoptap:Had this delivered yesterday. Could sure do with some Texas sun here in England at the moment.[quoted image]
C Side is my jam, already was a fan of both but together they're fire.
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:Sounds a little like Robert Plant & Zeppelin.
Understatement of the year.
Quoted from Chisox:Been a while, too long actually.[quoted image]
When they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I told them Mike Patton. What a fucking voice!
Quoted from guitarded:If you dig that stuff, checkout the Colemine Record Label. Lots of amazing modern Soul / Funk.
I just discovered them recently, picked up a couple LPs (Monophonics, Black Market Brass and Neal Francis) -- loving all three!
Quoted from guitarded: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 guitarded: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.
Quoted from Chisox:Really digging Monophonics. This recommendation is gonna cost me at least $100.
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.
Quoted from Chisox: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.
Discogs, and yeah they came to $140 together.
Quoted from sc93cobra:I just started collecting vinyl about 4 months ago.
Funny to see you in here, I was on the lookout for a vinyl copy of Not of This World and wondered if you knew anything about possible reissues.
Quoted from MMP:Following up my favorite Gorillaz release with some Talking Heads and another beer...
I just picked that Gorillaz album up last week, haven't had a chance to listen to it properly just yet.
Quoted from Chisox:Finally couldn’t fit another album in my LPBin. Now to get 500 more to fill up #2.[quoted image]
I really wanted to pick up that New Mastersounds album but they left the cover of Sneaker Pimps' Six Underground off the vinyl. I'll probably still grab it at some point.
Quoted from waldo34:Operation Mindcrime makes my short list of all time favorites.[quoted image]
This was their peak, in my opinion. Empire was pretty great too, but if I can have only one...
Quoted from Chisox:Speaking of CDs have any you guys sold your CD collection? I have over 2000 and would love to dump them and use the proceeds for more vinyl.
Well, not exactly... I've been working to thin my CD collection down to the stuff I want to keep, can't replace, can't get on vinyl, etc. I'm starting from over 4000 shooting for no more than a 1000. The record stores around me aren't always buying CDs but they've been pretty keen on the first few boxes I've brought in - trade for vinyl mostly. One guy commented, "I knew you had pretty wide tastes but this is ridiculous." (and then he ended up taking half the box)
I've also dropped a few boxes of CDs at Goodwill I know will never sell; somebody is probably finding things on the shelf there that has them scratching their head.
In the process, I've found a number of CDs with disc rot. Some will still play but it's evident they won't for much longer.
Quoted from Fulltilt:Post your Zombie![quoted image]
6471FE94-3414-42FD-A1F8-95D8303B834C (resized).jpegQuoted from Chisox:Took me a bit to warm up to this one upon release. I have no idea why because this album is amazing and just a small tick below Angel Dust. Another nice pressing from MOV too.
[quoted image]
Same for me too. I probably wouldn't have revisited it if a friend whose taste in music is impeccable hadn't pestered me to give it another chance. I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting at the time...
Quoted from 72Devilz:Here’s my rack of obsolete analog equipment, I still plug in some 8 track mix carts my parents made back in the early 70’s for old time sake,
A buddy of mine is selling his TEAC A-3440, I'd love to pick it up but I've got too much gear already. My dad brought a Sony TC-630D home with him from Vietnam so I grew up fiddling around with that. He still has it.
Fond memories.
Quoted from 72Devilz:Hallo Spaceboy!
[quoted image][quoted image]
Nice boot! I've been hoping to find a copy of that for less than $40 landed but I might have to bite the bullet.
Quoted from Chisox:About time. They haven’t released an album in like 5 months, must have gone into some sort of creative rut haha.
Seriously.. what was it, five full studio albums in 2017? They're a bit ridiculous. Still fun though, I'd love to catch them live one of these times. Hopefully they'll come through with ORB and Stonefield again.
Quoted from guitarded:If you are gonna grab a copy, find the Intervention Records Re-Release. Shane makes great LPs.
I see he did Altered Beast too. Oh and those two Flying Burrito Bros... this thread is getting expensive.
Quoted from guitarded:Sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your wallet, so.
It's all good, I needed to get to $150 for free shipping.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:There really aren't any good automatic turntables anymore, the autos are all cheap shit, and the good stuff is all fully automatic.
Tell me about it.
Quoted from guitarded:Maybe try checking out Black Market Brass Band?
Good call!
5A75ECA7-D81A-475E-9360-91257F0F3C2D (resized).jpegQuoted from 72Devilz:After searching far and wide for a good quality copy of this on vinyl because it was only released on CD in the states I finally found a respectable priced version from a seller in Brazil a month or so ago. Unfortunately getting it stateside has been tough with the postal embargo relating to shipments into the states due to Covid but it finally made it to my doorstep today, the wait was totally worth it and I can finally cross this one off my bucket list. <3
[quoted image]
I'm genuinely envious, been hoping to find that for a long time. Still listen to it digitally on a regular basis. Goodnight Song is one of those perfect pop songs...
Quoted from Scrimmbo:Fela Kuti is great! I have a copy of Expensive Shit" around here somewhere.
Yes, definitely. I never got to see him live but have seen his son Femi & band.
F178AF98-C319-4F14-83E8-1F69569F57CA (resized).jpegQuoted from bingojoe:Deep Zeppelin / Led Purple, recorded in 69, released in 71 in quad. Skip their later stuff, this is the one.
[quoted image]
Wow, nice! Hadn't heard this before... lots of Dio-era Sabbath sounds too.
Quoted from Thunderpants:Recent additions:
CJ. & Co. +Johnny Guitar Watson. Solid funky disco
Gyedu Blay Ambolley Highlife (Reissue) Awesome Highlife from Ghana, check out
I picked up a Johnny Watson album not long ago, solid stuff. I'll have to keep an eye out for Ambolley, that's fun.
Quoted from Thunderpants:Emkay:
Good old Johnny Guitar, i watched him in Den Hague in 93. time flies..
You could look into "Doing it in Lagos" also.
A 3x Lp set + 1x7" compilation which can be yours at a reasonable price
https://www.discogs.com/Various-Doing-It-In-Lagos-Boogie-Pop-Disco-In-1980s-Nigeria/release/9425519
Some really really good boogie and disco tracks.
The whole set can be sampled on YouTube.
Stay tuned for my adventure in Moroccan stuff, due next week
Already picked up 'Doing it in Lagos' - what a trip! I like throwing that one on while I'm cooking dinner.
Bring on the Moroccan, I love their food and the two go together for me.
Quoted from fnosm:You've seen this?
I memorized that bit and used to drop it into conversations at parties in my twenties. I sure hope I've evolved a bit since then.
Quoted from Thunderpants:Cool, i bet some nice and sweet tasting food is coming out of that kitchen!
Habibi Funk was in the mail this morning. I ordered it mainly for the opening track Fadoul, Bsslama Habiti.
The double album is a compilation of North African rock and funk from a time when the Arab world was more progressive i guess.
First impression is that i got a very unpolished gem in my collection.
[quoted image]
You monster. I may or may not have just snagged that along with #5 (the electronic one).
And yes, natives eat my cooking and ask me where I grew up. I didn't, I just learned some stuff along the way.
Quoted from ssbodyman:We lost a great drummer this week
[quoted image]
I probably never would have listened to Slade if not for him. Definitely sad news.
Quoted from Chisox:Been a while since I grabbed some new vinyl. All Them Witches are always an instant buy whenever they release a new one.
[quoted image]
Ahh good lookin', I had no idea another one was due.
Quoted from gonzo73:Listening to Ghost, A Pale Tour Named Death.
3×lp gold vinyl, pretty darn good sound for a bootleg.
Nice packaging, comes with a poster too!
[quoted image]
Whoa! I’ll have to keep my eyes out for a copy. They’re so good live!
Quoted from gonzo73:Finally after 19 years, the Mighty Blue Öyster Cult is releasing the next studio album in October. I preordered two different color versions from Frontiers music.
I like your tastes. Let me know if you ever want to take a road trip to Vegas.
Quoted from gonzo73:Cheers vinyl freaks. Here's to saturday night.
Love the Ghost candles!
Quoted from Iwasthebruce:David Bowie Blackstar
I still need to pick that up... what an amazingly deep occult album!
Quoted from gonzo73:RAT'S! RAT'S RAT'S
Late night spinning, tonight were going with
Ghost, Prequelle Exalted box set.
Cool orange swirl vinyl, in a rad die cut sleeve.
Gator skin tour book, 4 prints, and Seven Inches of Satanic Panic single.
Prequelle is just a beautifully constructed album, love the prog, and melodic direction.
Cant wait to hear the next sermon.

[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Wow, that's gorgeous! I considered buying it, now I'm sorry I didn't. And I agree, it's a fantastic album. Looking forward to their next also...
I used to get Zbigniew Bielak's art calendar every year for my office but then he switched to a day planner or something and I never use those. I should see what he's up to these days.
I have the Ghost Funko Pops #125 and #169, still need #189 but I'm sure my daughter will want some Hot Topic stuff soon so I'll add it on her order.
Quoted from gonzo73:They were always a mystery to me, I remember them as an new wave gothy band on MTV.
But then Metallica covered them!?
So I realy thought there were two bands, an american metal band and a English new wave band.
I was really into them for a summer but I can’t remember why. Probably all the Robitussin.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I don’t have any original UK pressings and they all sound sweet to me but I won’t begrudge any OCD types on this one.
Hah! I got into vinyl because I'm slowly losing my hearing and I got tired of all the arguments about what sounds best. For me it's purely tactile - flipping through records, pulling one out and dropping the needle on it. I had a blown driver one time and didn't even notice until my mother in law said something.
Quoted from yancy:Punkass white boy with a Prince/funk fetish, given a little too much freedom and goes schizo.
Brilliant album. I just found my CD copy recently, it had been in the basement for years. My wife hates Beck so she couldn’t understand why I was so happy.
Spinning one of her favs tonight.
D54F7D2B-F1E7-408B-89D4-F8E4EFDE14A0 (resized).jpegQuoted from Krupps4:I love Jefferson Airplane. Volunteers is such a great album, especially Good Shepherd. Great tunes for the summer. Overall, I think they are an underrated band.
Agreed. I had that cassette in my car when I was 16.
Grace Slick turned 81 recently, still a firecracker.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Her book is angry, bitter, and hilarious
I loved the parts where she said she dresses like a slob to go to the supermarket now because nobody wants to fuck and old lady.
I need to read it. I may have married her spirit animal.
Quoted from guitarded:It is REALLY good, imo.
Pissed I slept on the VMP Edition. Gave it a second pass last night and I enjoyed it more than the first.
Then followed it up with Ben Pirani.
Nice combo.
Yeah, I’ve had a hard time not buying everything from them lately...
A3BEA164-2A76-49C4-964F-73503B6C8212 (resized).jpegQuoted from rolandthoms:what a band.....what a tragic ending. i have midnight organ and panic attack on vinyl....report back with how you like this one
It's a nice repress, very quiet. I have both of those on vinyl too, still need Pedestrian Verse, Sing the Greys and most of the EPs.
Ever check out Owl John or Mastersystem?
And yes, I was absolutely gutted about Scott. Not a week goes by that I don't think about him.
Quoted from littlecammi:How about this (pulled from my collection) novelty recording?
I was just thinking about this one in the past couple weeks. When I was 7 or 8, the neighbor kid had a compilation record that was entirely video game songs. This one, Mr. Roboto, etc. I meant to look it up, thank you for the reminder!
Quoted from rolandthoms:Side 1 is sooooo good
Still want to be here
[quoted image]
Yes, it is. And yes, I do.
Some days I have to remind myself.
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:Happy Happy Joy Joy! The 2020 documentary on Prime was pretty eye opening as well.
I'll have to check that out! My teenage daughter loves to watch R&S with me but my wife can't stand it. 
For anyone who's still looking, Colemine is repressing their Soul Slabs Vol 2 compilation. It's been discussed in here previously and is well worth picking up.
Quoted from ghostbc:Love all Todd and Utopia. This lp is 3 sides, one with a side a and side b and the second lp had the same thing on both sides. I don't recall another like it, any body else no of this being done with another artist?
Not exactly the same, but I have a few multi-disc albums where the final side has an etching instead of grooves. Coheed & Cambria’s Vaxis Act 1 is the first that came to mind.
2AED0225-7137-41BC-8576-C01D59EAEAA3 (resized).jpegQuoted from fnosm:one of the most extreme vinyls is Jack White's Lazaretto.
Oof, yeah I have a copy of that... it’s a royal pain in the dick to play those weird tracks. You have to be fairly sober to do it but fairly loaded to want to. It’s a balancing act for sure.
Quoted from Impzilla:Taking the day off for my Birthday and going to catch up on some new items that recently came in.
Most are kind of heavy, think I will put a mothership side between the other records for some balance.
And, lots of pinball today too...
[quoted image]
Love Empire, been listening to it a lot this past year along with Operation Mindcrime.
Quoted from gonzo73:Church of the Cosmic Skull.
Is Satan Real?
Great newish UK band, this is the first album. They are on thier 3rd album
Blue swirl vinyl.
You can only buy thier music from the bands website.
Check out the Video for the song Evil in Your Eye. Pure classic rock. Little bit Floyd/ELO/Beatles.
Message from the Freeeek Kingdom. [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
LOVE THAT ALBUM! They're so much fun. Have you checked out Lucifer's albums?
Quoted from Fulltilt:Birth of the cool. It is Friday.
[quoted image]
I think that was the first album I bought after I got a turntable. For me, there is no better jazz album ever. Not even close.
Quoted from Impzilla:Needed to get a new copy as I realized that this year is the 30th anniversary of seeing the Building Empires tour.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_Empires_Tour
Honestly one of the best tours ever.
Quoted from Fulltilt:LPBIN makes some great storage. Chisox turned me onto them.[quoted image]
Found out my wife and father-in-law have been building one of these for me. I think it just needs stained... Will have to take a picture when it's done.
Quoted from TitusPullo:Very nice. I need to build something similar for my collection.
This thing will be full the minute it's done and I should probably start on another one. I only had like 20 records when I started following this thread.
Quoted from guitarded:Don't blame me. I would have banded the edges!
Nice work. I have one in the shop ready for clamps and glue.
There's a few things I would have done differently but my father-in-law was helping.
And we were drinking. And I'm no woodworker.
In retrospect, I'm fortunate I don't have one of those screws in the side of my head.
I sure wish they'd put out Prince's HITnRUN albums on vinyl. I've seen bootlegs but an official release would be amazing.
Hard to believe he's been gone for five years already.
Quoted from MMP:Anyone else listening to these guys?. Funky doom sounds, was very happy to pick up this.
[quoted image]
No but sounds like fun. I’m on some U2-meets-Frightened Rabbit shit tonight.
62C4E3D0-05E7-4757-80D3-44253CD53130 (resized).jpegQuoted from guitarded:It's not pressed on Vinyl...
but if you want to checkout a criminally underappreciated UnPlugged set, Live (the band) did an incredible one.
They kind of got screwed as it was set to air the night of the OKC bombing. Nobody even noticed it.
I have seen it in bootleg CD labeled as Live : Unwired and Wired (or Wired and Unwired?).
Great stuff.
I’m pretty sure I have that bootleg, have most of the Live boots seeing as they’re local boys. You’re right, it was a spectacular show.
All: I hadn’t forgotten you, just haven’t been on here much lately. Hope you’ve got it turn’t up!
19255F86-EF92-4737-8504-DB3227361227 (resized).jpegQuoted from gonzo73:Madonna, You Can Dance. 1987 remix album, songs from the first three albums plus the new song "Spotlight"
Lots of fun remix early best of.
[quoted image]
I definitely had that on cassette before I was old enough to drive. Probably had to hide it from my parents, now that I think about it.
