Sure it's a repress, but it plays at 45 rpm and is numbered!To six decimal places :/
I'm in Somerset, so when I get the chance to go to Camden and visit friends etc, I grab it with both hands. The bank account didn't like it so much though!

What kind of brush are you using?Finally invested in a proper record cleaning brush (was using a presoaked microfiber cloth + spray earlier) and my god it's a difference. Only problem is: brushing a record to remove dust before playing statically charges the other side, making it stick to my foam slipmat. So whenever I flip sides, I end up taking the slip mat with me, peeling it off, and then putting it back on.
Is it safe to assume their (far) earlier blues releases don't have the production finesse of when they hit their stride and changed their style?My latest two purchases

Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork Tree
Definitely a guilty pleasure album but it's impossible to not love this album. It's the 2016 reissue and I was shocked to see the consensus is that this is a crap pressing. Admittedly, all those comments were about the US version, but I'd expect the EU version to be identical. I thought it sounded really good :|
3 weeks worth of pickups tho I think there's a few I forgot.
I'm looking to get a record player setup going and I was hoping people in this thread could give me some advice/recommendations. I'm not looking to spend too much money. I'd say my budget is around $250. I already have a pair of speakers so really all I need is the record player itself and a receiver of some sort.
Here's the record player I had in mind (Audio Technica AT-LP60BK): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008872SIO/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Here's the receiver (Onkyo TX-8020 Stereo Receiver): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EE18O7W/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I was talking to a friend of mine and he suggested getting a receiver with Bluetooth or a Chromecast Audio, so I'm open to something of that nature as well.
My goal is to get a decent quality record player setup without spending a ton of money. I'd like a record player that sounds good and isn't going to damage my records over time. The player and receiver I posted above are just what I had my eye on, but I'm open to other options.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!
The CEOL N4/N9 with Dali Zensor 1/3 must be the configuration I've sold the most at the shop I work at. Great value for money stereo set-up if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
For some strange reason I've been looking at getting into buying records and a record player for the past few days. Anyways what is a good entry level that cost under $100?

Since I Left You came in. Finally have my hands on a physical copy of it :]
Might try to order the twin peaks vinyl before it sells out everywhere. Probably won't want the cherry red Fire Walks vinyl though.
I picked the FWWM vinyl up yesterday - almost twice the price of the series vinyl (I don't know if it's a UK/Brexit thing, but the price of vinyl is increasing at a noticeable rate here).
Haven't had the chance to crack it open yet, but will report back when I do. I hope it's a better pressing than the series album.

Do you have anything to clean it with?I bought Sea Change the other day and whilst it generally sounds fine, there's marks like the below on each side...
They're somewhat audible, but not as bad as they appear. Otherwise it's a brilliant pressing.
I have some basic cleaning equipment, yeah.Do you have anything to clean it with?
a lot of people swear by this homebrew method
and there is also stuff like the Spin Clean or a simple micro-fiber cloth could get the job done as well.
Nothing beats professional equipment or high end vacuuming, but you invest what you can for what you have.
What kind of brush are you using?
I went down to my local store to pick that up, and was told that it was delayed a week. Though February 24th is the best day for that thing to come out if it did. Really hoping it doesn't shit the bed like the series one (though mine is not as bad as others, only like... 10 pops rather than the hundreds people report), and I'm not looking forward to that Mondo mark up, even in USD
It's honestly not that bad, it's just a bit bizarre it's on both sides of each record.shinier... hmmm, I'd want to say that could be a flat spot. It may be imperceptible to touch or looking at it from an angle because it's so slight that it only affects playback.
If it's really bothersome, depending on where you purchased it it most likely wouldn't be a hassle to exchange it. Independent record shops are always happy to help, they definitely want to keep business good with their base and if it's amazon they'll definitely replace.
