I'm still waiting on Blade Runner. Amazon keeps pushing back the release date!

I got a shipping notification for that this morning.

 

[Ken Masters]

I fucking love fresh vinyl in the mail.

How much did you pay for the daft punk records?

That's all kinds of awesome

 

[The Interrobanger]

How much did you pay for the daft punk records?

Pretty much every record store in the world carries Homework and Discovery in stock. New they're usually around $25.

 

[Diseased Yak]

Right now I've got a bunch of LPs on my wall. King Crimson "In the Court," "Larks Tongues," "Starless and Bible Black," and Red are above my couch. I've got Pink Floyd's "Wish You were Here" above my CD collection. And above my TV I have Anathema's "Weather Systems" and Storm Corrosion's self titled album. I tend to switch things up a bit. The ones above my couch are usually old prog albums, though, and the ones above my TV are usually newer records.

Would you mind snapping a pic of two of this, if you don't mind? I've been toying with the same thing, just a few records that I like the look of.

Side note: I totally need to get Weather Systems on vinyl. Was my #1 favorite album of 2012, and it's criminal that I don't have the vinyl yet.

Sure. I just changed out Wish You Were Here for my Steven Wilson picture disc:

And yeah I got Weather Systems for an almost criminal price. The Omega Order had a sale that wasn't supposed to work on everything, but it did. So I got Weather Systems CD, Vinyl, and shirt for like 12 bucks, lol.

BURNING JEALOUSY!! Lucky dog!

The records up on the wall look really great, I'm definitely gonna have to do that, for a few like that.

Got some new stuff in today, including what may be the best colored vinyl I own (and I have quite a few):

Also a rose swirl colored Kadaver album:

Envy 14 LP box set...$160

http://shop.temporaryresidence.com/trr200

Formed in 1992 with an average age of 15 years old, Envy began as a blistering punk quintet, whipping violent riffs into frantic bursts that rarely cracked the two-minute mark. Their inexhaustible exploration of new sounds and ideas would lead them to incorporate strains of a experimental noise, subtle ambience, and triumphant, cinematic rock. Invariable Will, Recurring Ebbs and Flows is a limited-edition super-deluxe box set that collects every song ever recorded by Envy (95 songs in total) across 14 vinyl LPs, all remastered for vinyl in 2013. Each record is housed in its own full-color jacket, featuring all new artwork. Also included is a brand new, previously unreleased 100-minute DVD, a DVD data disk packed with all 95 songs in high-quality MP3 format, and a 100-page coffee table book featuring dozens of exclusive photos, plus lyrics to every Envy song, transcribed in both Japanese and English languages. The entire mind-blowing package is housed in a sturdy custom outer box – printed on a custom reflective metallic foil board. Strictly limited to 1,000 copies, Invariable Will is a monument to one of underground music's most enigmatic bands, and a celebration of their unfettered brilliance.

and yes i just ordered the coloured vinyl box set.. I REGRET NOTHING!.

 

[-Mikey-]

I almost bit on that 14xLP until I realized I never listened to their music before.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Traded in some stuff tonight and picked up:

Portishead - Third
Donna Summer - Greatest Hits Vols. 1+2
Masayoshi Takanaka - Jolly Jive
Yoshitaka Minami - Montage

This early '80s Japanese pop is so great.

How much did you pay for the daft punk records?

Was $32 for Homework, but I wanted to get an original 97 pressing in good condition.

And $12 for Da Funk/Musique with the cool little promotion papers that came with it way back then.

Pretty much every record store in the world carries Homework and Discovery in stock. New they're usually around $25.

Yup, those are the re-releases. They can be bought on Amazon too.

 

[Dude—No ...]

Okay, so I have just recently started getting into vinyl but I don't really know where to start as far as decent hardware goes. Somebody recommend a pretty great starter turntable, and throw some good receivers, speakers and phonostages my way as well.

Just got back from the movies

So jealous :| My store tweeted about the Drive PD at like 3pm last Friday and I got there by 4pm and all 7 of them were sold out. I was so mad.

Is that "Abra Kadavar"? I ordered my concert ticket before I could get the album.

Wanna sell it to me?

Wish I had an extra copy to sell but I didn't want to be a dick and buy the stores only 2 copies

what sites do you guys use to order vinyl (I'm in the USA)?

 

[Diseased Yak]

what sites do you guys use to order vinyl (I'm in the USA)?

I get most all my non-metal vinyl from Amazon, but I mostly order from allthatisheavy.com since they carry what I like to listen to most.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Sweet! My ticket is for their concert on May 16th. :x

what sites do you guys use to order vinyl (I'm in the USA)?

discogs.com

If you don't find a record there, it doesn't exist.

 

[Ken Masters]

amazon.com with prime is usually the best best, but not always

compare amazon.com with discogs.com to see what the fair price it for any vinyl

Always check out an actual record shop also if you have one near you, sometimes you'll find records cheaper there

ya, I doubt there's any by me where I live, but my girlfriend lives in NYC, sooooo there plenty of opportunity there to find some rad shops. looking forward to it.

Well, that's not always true: even disregarding one off pressings like acetates, certain genre's still have a long way to go. And it also depends on how deep in you go into collecting.

But it's gotten a lot better over the years, I'll give them that! It's a great site to build a collection with, much easier than years ago with eBay being the main marketplace and the possibility of getting outbid at the 11th hour... Man, screw that. Outside of a few guys who list tunes on discogs at absurd, unrealistic prices, I truly don't miss those eBay days at all.

Hi all,

I finally got into the vinyl scene with the release of NOFX's box set back in February, and have been hunting down new additions since.

I am currently using an Audio Technica AT-LP60 with an upgraded ATN3600DLX cartridge. Lately, however, I am becoming more and more disappointed with this set. New vinyls, 180 gram, right out of the package, skip! It's maddening.

Can someone please give me recommendations for a complete set that'll cost less than $500?

Edit: I'm looking at the Pro-ject Debut Carbon. It needs a preamp, right? Any suggestions on good ones for this setup?

Art DJ Pre II is a great Pre amp at a great price. I use mine with my thorens and my technics

 

[artorias the abysswalker]

hey peoples...so, I'm poking around looking at turn tables still...found one on amazon that isnt too expensive and seems like its got plenty of good reviews. thoughts? what else do I need for this to work properly? speakers? anything else?


turn table: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GYTPAE/?tag=neogaf0e-20

thanks!!

 

[FLEABttn]

No anti-skate, no tracking force, your records will skip.

Total waste of $100.

thanks....I guess the search continues....

 

[RDreamer]

I've been using the AT LP-60 for a while and it's just fine for me. I don't experience any skips except on really old records that look like they should most definitely skip.

 

[FLEABttn]

I skipped on half the vinyl I had at the time. It was probably a simple adjustment that could have fixed it, had the thing any adjustments to make.

 

[captainwhat]

I have an AT-LP 60 as well. Barely any skips, although I am looking to upgrade to a turntable that has those features. It's a fantastic and cheap entry-level record player that does what its supposed to do: play records. If you love the thing, then upgrade!

thanks for the advice!! I mean, that is my situation, entry level, not looking to spend a ton....maybe I'll pick it up after all and see how it goes.

Yeah, I'll probably do that pretty soon. When I got this I only had a pretty small-ish record collection, but since it's really ballooned up. It's still sort of a secondary treasure hunting hobby, not really a main thing so I wouldn't love to pay a ton on another one, but something a bit better would be nice.

I really wish that one I saw at Goodwill and showed you guys a while back was in working order, or I knew I could get it to working order. That one looked nice as hell.

my collection...

 

[sixteen-bit]

Do any of you have game music on vinyl? Outrun might be my favorite game ever, and I have an original 1986 pressing of Sega Game Music Vol.1. Side A is the entire Outrun soundtrack. It's one of my favorite things I own

 

[Dwayne]

I used to have Rez Vol 1, but I sold it -_-

I've got the Megadrive collection one and have been keeping an eye out for the Dreamcast one. There's ton's of retro arcade ones on Yahoo Auctions Japan.
