I'm a vinyl noob, and I have a very small collection. I'm starting to get more and more into collecting vinyls. Anyone know where I can get the Spiderland box set besides Amazon?
You probably won't be able to find the box set at a reasonable price at this point. It looks like it's going for $300+ on Discogs now. For what it's worth, Touch and Go is releasing a single-record + DVD reissue on the 24th.

OK, thanks for telling me.

wtffffff, I must have missed a Demilich re-release. Where did you get this?
My recent pick up, Perturbator - Dangerous Days
Svart records had the preorders up late last year. Delivered back in February. Some people are selling the green version on discogs for 80 bucks, which was the price of the box set new.

Borgie, you live in the PNW? Everybody that has gotten their Lewisessses seems to be in the area since that's where Light in the Attic is shipping from.
I had to cancel my preorder because the shipping date fell during a move, and at the time I wasn't sure what my new address would be. Maybe I'll bus up to the LITA shop on Friday and see if they've got some copies to buy there. Really wanted a red one, but those are long gone...

Yes, as long as they are sturdy, records tend to weight alot. Expedit is the usual "go to" shelving:
But that said, I really wanted an Expedit until I actually owned one: Way too shallow without a stopper and browsing is a bitch. Great for storage though. Now I am rocking three sets of Lundia
Whatever is sized correctly and strong enough to hold your collection, really. Ikea made a great unit that they discontinued a short time ago (the Expedit series, RIP), but they have a new unit (Kallax series) that is also perfectly sized for records (albeit the largest one is not as big as previous - 4x4 vs 5x5). That's what I use. I just bought the biggest Kallax unit as I'd filled my Expedit.
Nice one thanks guys.
Just had a look and probably order 2 of these to sit side by side? These are the jobbies right? I do remember Expedit as my brother had a huge TV unit from that range. By the looks of it they've directly replaced that line with Kallax.

Anyone have those records on your discogs whant list that you really want and arnt outrageously priced that you just dont buy?
Finally picked up one of them £19 for a two track EP is steep but sod it Skeng is worth it.

Yeah, just buy whatever configuration suits your needs. It's basically the same as the expedit, aside from slightly thinner, or so I've read. Ikea says it will be just as sturdy as the expedits.

Several hundred. The problem is shipping costs to Canada, which destroy pretty much any "deal".

Yeah usually its one guy had one record with £4 postage, so i end up going through their collection desperate to find more to "make it worth my while" lol
Had a good rummage through my Mums record collection earlier. She hasn't listened to them for years and has sold the vast majority of it. Out of the remains I managed to pick out:
Nirvana - Nevermind
Quadrophenia Soundtrack
The Beatles - 1967/1970 (Blue)
ELO - Out of the Blue
New Order - Run 2
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Depeche Mode - Violator
Pet Shop Boys - Actually
New Order - Technique
Diana Ross & The Supremes - 20 Golden Greats
Blondie - Parallel Lines
The John Lennon Collection
Happy Mondays - Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches
The Charlatans - Some Friendly
The Police - Zenyatta Mondatta
The Human League - Greatest Hits
The Cult - Love
Inspiral Carpets - Life
Michael Jackson - Thriller
R.E.M. - Green
Pretty rogue assortment but happy with that as a starting point.
Pretty funny actually that some still have the price stickers on from when she originally bought them. Dark Side of the Moon cost her £3. Sure as shit it would cost me a fair bit more than that now..

That's a weird mix, mostly late 80s indie but Beatles, Floyd & Supremes are a bit out of place. Maybe she inherited some of those?
Nah they're all hers. She listens to a pretty wide variety of stuff. Some of the stuff I left behind and a lot of the stuff she sold stretches a lot wider than that.
I'm kind of the same. There's nothing in there I won't listen to, hence why I picked it out, but I'll obviously start taking it in some different directions as I add my own bits in.
Proof, Lewis with shoe on head.
Got mine today. Great package. What color did you buy? I got clear.

I look forward to being a few minutes late on this sale and missing out on it completely.
There's 5 different versions. One of the variants is likely to be a comic con exclusive. 3-4 of the others should be pretty easy to get.
The amber edition of Jurassic Park has been the only difficult Mondo LP to buy.
edit: turns out all 5 will be sold at SDCC

Looks like one of my favorite albums of all time is being re-released. Cocteau Twins, "Heaven or Las Vegas," is out now by 4AD. I wanted to ask if anyone has any knowledge or has the new release, if it is remastered or just reprinted? Is there much difference from the original release?

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to let you guys all know about a site that I'm involved with.
We're a brand new online marketplace for vinyl records. The best way that I can explain what we're doing, is that we're like Ebay for vinyl and every record has a "Buy It Now" option.
The site is going to launch later today, but you can sign up for our beta newsletter right now and be informed the minute that we go live.
Also, for those coming to Pitchfork this weekend come see our booth at the CHIRP record fair.
Sorry for the shameless promotion.

Sweet, singed up for the mailing list - I hope this takes off!
An alternative to discogs/ebay is welcome (or at least another place to seek out wanted records and sell some too).
Also I hope this will be international friendly...ie welcomes sellers and buyers worldwide.

It will be, in due time. We're a very small startup.Once the beta opens up and we've gotten some feedback from our users, and worked out the kinks, then we'll start to look into expanding to an international market.

There is a color version of this? I got black and didn't know there were others. I'm a sucker for colored vinyl.
not in an accusatory way but out of genuine curiosity: what's going to set it apart from, say, discogs? that it's sometimes an auction system? hooks up buyers and sellers in a different fashion? just looks better and cleaner?
johnFkennedy

Although we plan to implement a "make an offer" option there is no bidding to speak of.
The big differentiator for buyers on top of looking better and cleaner, is that it's easier to find stuff. There are no endlessly long lists containing slight variations of the same record. Our goal is to try and emulate the experience of browsing for records at your local shop as best as we can. We even have Spotify playlists for every record that is available on that service. So you can try it before you buy it.
For sellers, we're less expensive than everyone else. We don't charge any listing fees and our seller fee is half of that of Discogs and a third of that of EBay. It's also really quick and easy to make a listing. New records take seconds to list, while used LPs take a bit longer depending on how descriptive you wanna get with the grading.
