I Love Vinyl! Recent Haul/Score/Purchase Thread (2010)

sweet haul, Scott!

i love my neck of the woods. cooped up on that island for six years i did the best i could, and i did all right, but let loose in the real world i feel like a new man.

oh and that machine album is likewise HIGHLYYYYYYY rekked by me if any of you don't own it. it rules. has everyone heard it? funkyass disco guitar jams produced by august darnell? so fuckin' phat. its like rilly good drugs and much cheaper. jaxon must have a copy. don't remember talk about it on any threads.

this one:

disco stuff i got at a store in vermont. they had bought a dj collection. i left a lot of stuff cuz i had spent my money for the day. they had every lime album. i would kinda like to own every lime album, but i had to stop. everything was nice and clean. not all beat up like some ancient dj collections.

I LOVE that Dorothy Carter LP, Scott!

anyway, i traded some stuff today--
rangda - false flag (finally brought a copy home.)
ecstatic music of jemaa el fna (sublime frequencies)
v/a - mississippi blues 1927-41 (yazoo)
banana & the bunch - mid-mountain ranch (raccoon/wb)
mighty baby - jug of love (reish)

'Jug of Love' is great, isn't it? so different from their first LP. I need that new live thing that Sunbeam put out...

oh yeah I got to go to the record store...

Jazz Butcher - Big Questions LP plus 7" EP (yet another rec I stupidly sold and now buy back years later)

A; Grumh... - Mix Yourself EP (ditto, I NEVER see these recs used)

Bohannon - Insides Out

Exuma - Reincarnation w/poster

dig that pearl harbor record a lot

just got back from NY. didn't really get a chance to go record shopping. bought a few from a friend and a few at academy bk (unfortunately ian wasn't working but the dudes there were nice enough to knock a bit off for a friend's discount).

Görl - Night Full of Tension (amazing funky new wave from one of dudes in DAF. annie lennox on vocals on one track)
Sisters of Mercy - Anaconda/Phantom 7". (never actually listened to these guys before, but it's from 83. phantom is great morriconesque dark synth stuff)
Fingers Inc - It's Over 12"
Yukihiro Takahashi - Neuromantic (he of sadistic mika band/ yellow magic orchestra. apparently the title for w.gibson's Neuromancer was based off this)
Wide Boy Awake - Slang Teacher (some bootleg 12" with when in rome "the promise" on bside. ha. some asshole on discogs is selling this boot for 200 euro)
Propaganda - P-Machinery/Frozen Faces 12"
Heatwave - Central Heating
the Sparks - Beat the Clock picture disc 12"

scott. i don't have that Machine LP. i have the 12" for "There But For The Grace Of God Go I". i never play it out though because the intro is only like 1 bar long. not long enough to mix in. i had the LP and the 12" in my hands one time and an employee told me the rest of the album wasn't good, so i passed.

that employee was wrong!

also, if you don't have that particular nightlife unlimited album, you need it.

wow good score on the Anaconda/Phantom 7", been looking for that for a loooong time (xxxp)

o bummer. both me and a friend picked up a copy. they were both like 7$

that machine 12" IS great.

i'd probably like that nightlife unlimited album also.

oooh and also super jealous of this:

Fingers Inc - It's Over 12"

Kurt Vile - Square Shells
Nerve City - Sleepwalker
Mike Rep And The Quotas - Songs The Grackles Liked
Chrome - Half Machine Lip Moves white vinyl #100/100

ooh Square Shells is out?! gotta get that

today:

Bohannon - S/T from 1975, sealed cutout
Nina Simone - Best Of ($1)
ZZ Top - Tejas

goin to see kurt v toniiiiiiiiiiiight!

picked up popol vuh's letzte tage letzte nachte online this afternoon, too

that's a good PV rec!

Carl Perkins - Greatest Hits (CBS 1969 re-recordings -anyone know who the band are?)

Just ordered

i have not heard of any of those, whiney. how do you keep up with so much new music???

i can't tell how serious this question is? u_u

i'm new to this whole "buying new vinyl" thing. When my brand new Goldfrapp LP has a skip the first time out of the shrinkwrap, am I supposed to:

a) Complain to the label
b) Return it to the record store
c) Suck it up
d) Treat this as some Christian Marclay statement on the originality of my LP and consider myself blessed that I'm enlightened enough to appreciate the permeability of my physical object

Definitely C if it's just one skip.

I bought The Best of Bread yesterday. I'd never bought a Bread record before. Really like all of Side One. David Gates is really good.

for used records, especially cheap ones, i can overlook a skip.

for a new LP, i'd take it back and exchange it for another copy.

e) blog about the sorry state of vinyl manufacturing

shit's 180 gram! I wonder if maybe my needle just isn't pressing hard enuf?

Re. Gates: I mean REALLY good. I just never tuned in on it before, hearing those songs on the radio.

seriously it seems like every other discussion on sp0ckm0rgu3 is complaining about the problems with vinyl pressing and manufacturers and such.

the goldfrapp vinyl came with a CD in a little sleeve and that seems like the best solution to pretty much everything. i wish more bands would do that instead of providing completely useless "download cards" for me to throw away

i can't imagine some kid in a used record store 20 years from now coming across a "download card" and not ROFLing over how retarded and useless it is.

New Liars LP has the CD in there too iirc

a) Complain to the label
b) Return it to the record store
c) Suck it up
d) Treat this as some Christian Marclay statement on the originality of my LP and consider myself blessed that I'm enlightened enough to appreciate the permeability of my physical object

how new is your needle? sometimes if I have a brand new record that skips it's cuz my needle's getting worn out (esp. if the record's really bass-y)

I think Ian was being sincere btw? who knows, lol

re: download card if I'm buying on vinyl I don't want a second copy on CD to take up shelf space, I want files for my ipod

a little CD in a cardboard sleeve barely takes up a 1/8 inch of space and will mean digital files for your ipod long after your hard drive crashes

real answer is to not buy vinyl -- can't remember if i've ever had a CD skip right out of the jewel case

great board to air this opinion on

i certainly think so

yeah, sorry y'all -- you're right, wasn't the thread for me to suggest switching to CDs

xxpost Best of Bread is the classic $1 record. pure 24k mellow gold
