Vinyl records make a return

My Tango has a bad place on track two on both sides (probably the same bad place).

slap a "has two side As!" sticker on it and sell for $650

On behalf of Chuck Eddy, I'd like to price all your moderately-credible hard rock at $5. ANGEL CITY MOTHERFUCKERS

my friend mike came in during the noise nomads matinee today and i sold him the nitzer ebb for ten bucks. #friendsandfamilydiscount

I paid $1 for the first one and $2.99 for the second, but I definitely got more than $10 worth of entertainment from each over the years so I'd say your friend did ok.

I don't remember much Front 242 vinyl being around in Cleveland in the late '80s/early '90s. I think Back Catalogue was the first import CD I ever bought, or maybe it was the first Throwing Muses album. Seemed very exotic buying a disc without a longbox.

Returning to the crazily-overpriced records point: at the Strand, everything is $25. This is already a price point where I almost certainly will not buy a record, but my favorite was that it even applied each of the two Use Your Illusions. Fifty dollars for the whole thing! Holy shit! You could get used copies of the original LPs for substantially less, and the whole thing on CD for what, a dollar fifty?

It's laughable. I mentioned on the Neil Young thread seeing a reissue of Decade for $80. I'd estimate that $80 got me every Neil Young album from the first through to Re·ac·tor (14 albums) first time around--Rust Never Sleeps or Hawks & Doves at a minimum.

hi, bye
