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

!!!!!!!!

!

hahaha

can we revoke jaxon's ilx card?

on the other hand, there is a whole world of awesomeness awaiting him.

ILV is the land of misfit toys -- no ILX canon necessary here.

tbh, i have never really listened to new order. but that's probably not surprising anybody.

new order were awesome.

ha. i mean, i've def heard these songs a billion times before. i've watched the video for confusion a million times. i've just never deliberately gone out of my way to listen to NO. i mean, steve shasta hadn't heard the beatles until last year. btw, thanks dave, those acid house mixes sound great. weird that they're actually from 2004

ian, now that you're into space disco, you should give them a try. they'd be right up your alley

also, i tend to not like british music

well that's just silly.

ian, get this if it comes into the store:

we probably have 4 or 5 new order records at the moment tbh.

I fell for New Order hard when I got a mixtape from a friend last year with the "demo" version of Confusion on it.
They really are great!

Taking Sides:Confusion-vs-Confusion Beats-vs-Confusion Instrumental-vs-Confusion Rough Mix

weird that they're actually from 2004

I think they're from 1988 (see record cover) but may not have been legitimately released until 2004

It's the "rough" mix that got me. I'll always prefer that one.

i only listened to 'substance' and nothing else for a decade or tbh, i only recently started digging into their actual studio albums.

i've never heard substance. or those mixes. i never saw the point.

Substance is ok, but most of the rerecorded stuff is travesties.

Probably not an ILV thing, but that Singles collection released in the last few years is probably more u+k than Substance.

Fun record store shopping last night. I love record stores!

The commercials – compare and decide (eat records – 1980)

The radiators – ghostown (chiswick – 1978)

Michael kamen – new York rock (atco – 1973)

Human investment – invest your efforts into humanity’s struggle or be a human investment (rotten propaganda) (that’s what it says on the cover anyway. Crass fans in Pittsburgh with a crass-style logo. I couldn’t resist even though its from the 90’s.)

Virgin steele – wait for the night (mongol horde – 1983)

Nova mob – the last days of Pompeii (rough trade – 1991) (the only post-husker album I have ever owned. I love it. I’ve always had the tape. Vinyl was a dollar. Man, lots of this stuff was a dollar. I love you, western mass!)

Space – just blue (Casablanca – 1979)

Ramatam – in april came the dawning of the red suns (atlantic – 1973) (april Lawton I love you and want to marry you in a time machine! You rule!)

Wizard prison – next cycle (feeding tube – 2010) (my friend ted’s awesome label. Great record!)

Chick Churchill – you & me (chrysalis – 1973) (not so hot, but it was cheap.)

East of eden – snafu (deram – 1969) (yeah!!!! Needed this! From Byron c’s vast stockpile.)

Kingdom come – journey (polydor – 1973) (clean u.k. original. Also from Byron. Good prices on the east of eden and kingdom come. Couldn’t resist.)

Banana and the bunch – mid-mountain ranch (raccoon/wb – 1972)

Bette bright – rhythm breaks the ice (korova – 1981)

Poulenc – dialogues des Carmelites (angel) (mint angel box for a buck!)

Angst – mystery spot (sst – 1987) (don’t like this. Even for a dollar.)

Pete jolly – seasons (a&m) (sealed for a buck. One of the only – maybe the only? – jolly records worth money. Kinda want to open it and play it, but then again might just sell it sealed. Nah, I’ll probably open it. Never heard it.)

Ruts dc – animal now (virgin – 1981)

Accept – metal heart (cbs – 1985)

Herbie mann – turtle bay (atlantic – 1973)

Jimmy pursey – alien orphan (epic – 1981) (more people need to hear this record.)

Sham 69 – the game (polydor – 1980) (yay! Needed this.)

Uriah heep – innocent victim (wb – 1977)

Hauser orkater – op avontuur (dutch artiness/weirdness from 1974)

Dfx2 – where are they now (world records – 1980)

The reds – s/t (a&m – 1979)

Lyn todd – s/t (vanguard – 1980) (just got bobby orlando’s NOW album and now I have this. He was a busy guy at the turn of the decade.)

u.k. subs – endangered species (nems – 1982) (yay! Needed this too.)

sore throat – sooner than you think (hurricane records – 1979)

Space – just blue (Casablanca – 1979)

have you ever heard the corbett/hirsh album? i wonder if you will like it? i think you will.

ian do you have this one?

Banana and the bunch – mid-mountain ranch (raccoon/wb – 1972)

i like the corbett/hirsh, and the banana and the bunch record is pretty good too! can be too noodle-y jam band jazzs sometimes, like some of the youngbloods LPs, but it's a nice pleasant listen.

NC so far:
this heat -- s/t LP
neil michael hagerty and the howling hex 2LP
the seeds -- a web of sound LP
v/a -- pioneers of the jazz guitar LP (yazoo)
dave apollon -- mandolin virtuoso LP (yazoo)
george mccrae -- s/t LP

dreamies LP (90s reissue?)
craig leon -- nommos LP (thanks to nerve pylon (i think?) for tipping me off to the existence of this one!)
lilly brothers and don stover -- early recordings LP
the cure -- the head on the door LP

nice haul! and yep it was me on the Nommos tip. that was my big score from FMU, for $5. how much did the This Heat set you back, if you don't mind me asking? i need an upgrade.

dmr - i want that New Orleans comp so so bad! I have the other volume of it but have had one eye towards that one for some time now...

so i'm the only person in western mass interested in classical records apparently. big collection at the auction house. the CDs went for 4000 dollars. and guess what. that was a STEAL. tens of thousands of dollars worth of sealed audiophile cds and boxed sets. anyway, i sent my right hand woman maria and she got 30 boxes of records AND the great record shelves they were on for...175 bucks. really? nobody wants them? and we could have gotten DOUBLE that amount for 200 bucks but enough was enough and we had more than enough to work with. the majority of this stuff is mint and/or sealed european audiophile pressings. just great stuff. modern/weird/obscure stuff too. very cool collection. the guy would tape his records and catalog them and then shelve the record. i'm gonna have fun listening. and selling. online. pulled this out of a box. should cover our 175 dollar investment:

:D Well Tuned Piano is a pleasant listen.

i don't think i'll keep it though. i got rotten kids to feed. but my brother in law has a copy and i can listen to it at his place when i go there. in fact he played it one of the last times we were there all stoneded. dreamy good.

dmr - i want that New Orleans comp so so bad! I have the other volume of it but have had one eye towards that one for some time now...

it's great! Danny White's "The Twitch" is amazing. Actually I've only listened to the comp once all the way through so far, I'm gonna put it on again right now ...

skot I've been on a huge classical jag lately, it's kinda been all I have been listening to (well, except for Friday and Saturday nights when I get drunk and listen to Black Sabbath and The Band and post on ILV.) I even just donated 50 bucks to our local classical station during their Fall fund drive! and I am going to two Chicago Symphony Orchestra concerts this month (Boulez, conducting Schoenberg, Debussey, and Ligeti -- so super psyched.)

but the weird thing is, I never feel compelled to buy the stuff on vinyl. I dunno why. maybe always assume that "any* surface imperfections will mar the listening experience? in a way that they won't with rock? i dunno what it is. i never check the classical sections at my local stores

any *LIVING STEREO* items in yr haul??

i want this one

whoa awesome lot scott

just listening to a wonderful hungarian folk box from that haul. so good. (gonna keep it. i'm definitely having fun. so much of this is mint unplayed audiophile stuff. wish i had a zillion dollar stereo system. but even without one it all sounds so good.)

i've always bought classical records. and i've learned a lot over the years. i've always said that they are the best value in all of record collecting. its not unlikely at all to find pristine euro-pressings in thrift stores for a dollar. so many classical fans belonged to clubs and they would get stuff every month and never listen to half of it twice. listening to a virgin classic digital pressing from germany now and its sonic heaven.

and if people are intimidated by classical don't be! just dig in! you can totally own heaven for a dollar.

all that guy's home-made cassettes were up for auction too! and reel to reels. and all the cool wooden tape dressers too! i call them dressers. i don't know what to call them. they have drawers. for tapes. like those fancy cd ones. he also had this HUGE wooden cd carousel and i don't think anyone bought it. i thought about getting it for the store but it weighed a ton. plus fuck a cd. and his card catalog for his collection was there.

if i had had the money i totally would have gone for the CDs though. i don't think i've ever seen a more comprehensive or immaculate classical cd collection. thousands and thousands of them. and all collector euro stuff. unbelievable. the guy who bought them isn't even a dealer. he just has a huge cd collection and needed some classical!
