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

bgm is great. been listening to it a bunch lately

I've been listening to it for maybe 4 years but have never owned it until now. Debating whether I should put up the mini posters in my bedroom or leave them in the sleeve.

so broke right now but I did get the A-Frames 333 triple LP, so nice to hear all those oop singles finally.

I'm in the no spare money boat, but here is what I got in the last two weeks.
Cloudland Canyon - Lie In Light
Emeralds - S/T
Mark McGuire - Off In The Distance

leon russell - s/t & carny
the cables - what kind of world (studio one)
roy harper - sophisticated beggar (cheap reissue with ugly cover)
schooly d - smoke some kill LP
jefferson airplane -takes off (upgrade condition-wise but still a later pressing.)
two of the new MS comps of Lomax Recordings ('i'll be so glad when the sun goes down' and 'i'm gonna live anyhow until i die)

van smack, that Cloudland Canyon is rad.

Not been on here for a while I think, so here's what I remember of the last few months:

Yellow Magic Orchestra - YMO (already got this on CD but the vinyl was reasonably priced)
News From Babel - Work Resumed on the Tower
Beach Boys - 20/20
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Nilsson - Son of Schmilsson
Walter Carlos - By Request
Dagmar Krause & Kevin Coyne - Babble
Tony McPhee - the Two Sides of Tony McPhee (actually got this as a birthday present for a friend but his girlfriend found out he already had it... still, it's awesome)

Hmmm, there is stuff missing from this list but I cannot bring it readily to mind.

So what's up with these Rallizes LPs that Volcanic Tongue is touting. Anyone heard em? Might have to go for it. I only have Live 1977 on CD. (They just sent something out on twitter about limited LPs of Blind Baby and Heavier Than a Death)

i need a copy of smoke some kill. never see one. used to have one. when it came out. :(

they are the latest scam release from Radioactive (xp)

aha. thx.

great stuff! rockin' horse album has one of my all-time fave beardo jamz on it. i think jaxon tipped me off to the rub&tug edit of that. love the byzantium album too. and you can't go wrong with the sadistic mika band.

Ya, I've had my tractor beams set on the Rockin Horse for a minute since that Rub n' Tug version came out. Does it crop up that often in your store, scott?

i've had a couple of copies and i always have to make deejays buy it cuz they never know what it is. what can i say, i'm hipper than the average western mass dj. i put that song on one of my ilm mixes and then found out about the edit. perfect choice really. such a great jam.

Ha! Well most USA DJs are philistines. And woah, just listening to the LP now and there are other worthwhile sounds on it too.

today

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" Great purchases for a buck or less

I just realized I prob wouldn't have ever heard of half those albums if it wasn't for USA DJs... doy. I guess I was just thinking of Lowest Common Denominators. LCDDJs.

third ear band - alchemy (VG+ uk orig)
elton john s/t
roy harper - once upon a time in england
pat kilroy - light of day (boot)
julian priester - polarization

Meat Puppets II
Hall and Oates Private Eyes
Grand Funk Live Album
Arlo Guthrie Hobo's Lullaby (this is kind of gorgeous)
The Go Go's Vacation (a gift for my new roommate who expressed a strong desire to hear this particular album for some reason)
I only spent thirty bucks on all that. Weird haul, but satisfying. The Grand Funk is super clean and was only 3 bucks.

<3 Grand Funk Live.

VERY excited about this (like seriously unspeakably excited), but am wondering where i can find more info about the pressing? all i can find is this (http://catalog.dclibrary.org/vufind/Record/ocm20750538/Details) and there's a question mark by the year.

oddly, i found the 5-volume child ballad book set in my school's library this week, so i am taking that as a sign that i was meant to buy this in spite of how expensive it was. also tomorrow is my birthday. clearly, i was meant to have these records.

Bitchin Bajas - Tones & Zones
Majeure - Timespan Remixes

No record stores in my neighborhood since Something Else closed a couple years ago so I'm limited to Beacon's Closet's (actually pretty decent) selection of reissues and comps. Yesterday's haul:

Bloodstains across the midwest
Fight on, your time ain't long
The golden dawn - power plant

Power Plant is a nice psych record.

yeah it's cool! listened this morning. I had seen it there before but was put off by the album cover (kinda cheesy)

bloodstains across the midwest is great too, tbh.

joe south - don't it make you wanna go home
doors - waiting for the sun (lol doors kick)
badfinger - straight up
inner dialogue LP (re-buy)
john renbourn - faro annie (spare copy, a buck. thought my man keegan needed it but he's already got one.)

felt -- space blues 12"
felt -- the final resting of the ark 12"
felt -- rain of crystal spires 12"

bill orcutt -- one-sided tour 12" (yessssss)
moon duo -- catch as catch can 7"
electric bunnies -- pretty joanna 7"
annie -- anniemal 2LP
ariel pink -- FF>> 2LP

Wow, those collections of Childs ballads look cool -- did you find out more about them?

I got a few heavy things this week:

High on Fire - Blessed Black Wings
Mastodon - Leviathan
Sunn 0))) - Domkirke (a quite inexpensive copy)

and some non-heavy stuff:

Roky Erickson - True Love Cast Out All Evil
Wooden Shijps - Vol.2

Finally landed some of the Neu! reissues:

Neu!
Neu! 2
Neu! 75

Not bothering with '86

are they sellin those outside of the box??

My local record shop certainly has the individual LP reissues for sale.

Can't blame you for not bothering with '86... (xxpost)

yeah it SUCKS

note that if you've only heard neu! 4 you haven't really heard '86

i guess i mean this one

http://www.eggcityradio.com/sharity/neu72.jpg

ah yeah that's pretty marginal

Yeah they are selling them from outside the box - nothing around here in NZ tho I had to order mine from the UK - only 11 quid each tho (before postage). I got mine from here tho I imagine they're available at other stores. Nice packaging too - gatefold sleeves & white vinyl for the first 2.

wowow gotta get the good ones

my Rondos Destroy The Entertainment 2lp arrived today!

Also got the new Klaxons & new Sleigh Bells 7"s

hehe goodbye any Neu!-related credibility!
