That is a badass cover.

it really is

dang I didn't realize there was an 8-track version from 1971!

Poked around a little and didn't see any info about the hand-painted one anywhere else.

I have a feeling the year and the fact that it is its own release as apposed to categorized as a version of the main one are results of a sloppy listing.

nah if it's really a test pressing for the 2019 reissue then that's a separate entry from the LP reissue itself

Yeah but normally it just goes in the list among the versions of the album, in this case next to the retail release version of MR-018.

OK so yes the year would be correct in that case.

ohh yeah I see what you are saying, yes that's in the wrong place

I thought my most valuable record was:

Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs reissue of Dark Side of the Moon

but it could be my sealed Let it Be from 1970 with Korvette's $2.99 price tag going by the asking prices.

Beatles collectors can be insane. How much you think it would go for?

It's kind of hard to tell. First, it's sealed, so I don't know which version it is exactly. Second, sealed/mint copies listed up to $350, but not seeing that copies have sold that high. My guess is I might be able to get $100-$150?

Of course there are a couple copies on ebay between $200-$500 as well.

Well yeah people can ASK for whatever amount they want.

Popsike archives sale details for reference.

Ha, slow down- you have to add "1970" and sort by new to old, then pick the most recent sale(s) of copies that match yours.

Beatles collectors can be insane

No kidding. I'm shocked to find out that the most (potentially) valuable record I own is this 1978 reissue of the White Album on white vinyl.

to be fair:

"New lacquers were cut for this release."

and from the comments:

"The sound quality on this particular pressing is the very best you'll find, and in my estimation, better than the original UK stereo (I have both). It has a luminous quality that is really compelling."

so it's kind of like that reissue pressing of Bowie's Hunky Dory, where the stars all aligned properly w/r/t sound quality, I hate to sound like a Hot Stamper huckster but sometimes certain pressings really do shine

I've never heard of that White Album on white vinyl. Ha!

The weird thing is that I didn't know it was on white vinyl until after I bought it. Music Mart (RIP) in Costa Mesa just reshrinkwrapped a promo version and put it out on the floor.

Behold my entirely middlebrow tastes!

I've never cared to do any discogs edit but I came across a version of a Swirlies 7" that isn't there... I feel like I could figure out creating the entry but I'm a little intimidated by it. Everything is relatively clear expect the part about how to add a version of a release rather than a standalone. Anyone have experience with this?

bump

whoops- *except

I suggest a Discogs forum for this question.

this explains it just as well as i could, and with pictures:

if you're having a hard time with any of that i'm happy to help / clarify

I sympathise. I was all ready to add the new Cowboy Junkies album but I got stuck on which format to use, since it's only available on streaming services, not as a CD or a download. A quick look at the discogs forum confirms that albums only released on streaming services are not eligible for inclusion, since it's not possible to "own" them. Which leaves the Cowboy Junkies discography on discogs sadly incomplete.

you should just make bootleg CD-R versions of all the streaming-only stuff and then list them as placeholders until the band has the good sense to actually release their records, at which point some future nerd can merge those releases with yours

it’s not incomplete if they didn’t release it. streaming only is dumb.

some future nerd will probably not enjoy having to delete some random homemade CD-R from the database

it was a joke you dork

lol d’oh

it’s not incomplete if they didn’t release it. streaming only is dumb

no you're dumb, why is streaming it not releasing it?

This thread is so 2020 right now

so bands as “big” as the cowboy junkies are just streaming albums now, not releasing them? that’s totally awesome.

fine call it “releasing”, whatever

Collection as listed there is probably less than 20% of my physical collection. Oh well.

Thanks for sharing! Wow you're pretty active in the comments. Some hot takes there notably in your praise of Slovenly!

https://discogs.page.link/1a9Q <- does that work? Not really complete as I put all my collection into CLZ collector before I realised Discogs would be much better, and couldn’t face having to do it all again. Will get round to it at some point but for now this is mainly new purchases and a few of the bigger box sets and stuff.

Hey Ant1973 how's that Blue Notebook reissue? I really liked that album a lot when it came out. Should revisit.

I loved the Blue Notebooks when i came out, but I feel like it's been so completely subsumed into tv/movie soundtracks that there's no need to re-listen to it now... it's just kinda ambient in the culture at this point.

Yeah I have a general aversion to music that specifically sounds like a doctor drama theme. That being said, where has Blue Notebooks shown up?

I don't use Discogs to log my collection, so here's my seller profile, sorted from priciest downwards.

The most valuable record I own is the UK 7-inch promo of Martha Reeves - No One There, which I don't plan to sell unless I'm in dire financial need.

Only just got around to starting this. Fun. Frustrating.

Hey I finally got around to adding that Swirlies release just like a real life archivist!

hey, nice job !

link ?

Well, it wasn't actually too confusing once I tried it. Just looked a little intimidating...

https://www.discogs.com/Swirlies-Error/release/15352879

starting to add stuff now (thanks to the bar code scanner, that is a great feature), are those condition/notes fields not outward facing? did I really just write a bunch of notes that nobody can see??

Yeah I have a little "price paid" column that is custom and just for me.
