Record collecting

[Dr Shroom]

That "The Cure - Standing on a Beach" record has the inner sleeve from some Wang Chung album for some reason.

I finally got my Dubmood record today, what a waste that "priority" shipping was.

In other news some dude booted 3 copies of the Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu Black Label sound track to wax and I need one bad.

 

[CORY]

Got my Dubmood last week as well. One of the corners has been damaged in transit :S

 

[Kiel]

the disc blew out two sides of the insert on mine

 

[CORY]

Yeah, not sure I'll order anything from them ever again. Fucking frogots can't pack for shit

I've been quite unlucky with my record purchases lately. Ordered Immortal Technique 3rd world, got some random Johnny Cash album instead

I also preordered the KMD Black Bastards Deluxe on Amazon (the 2LPs version with the picture disc). They were supposed to ship it to me last week but it looks like that ship has sailed. They took too many preorders (it's out of stock now). I guess I'm stuck with the MP3s. Great old school hip hop album (MF Doom!) with the most racist cover I have ever seen (no wonder it didn't hit the shelves back in 1993).

I got mine a day or 2 ago. Pretty standard packaging as far as sending records over the pond unfortunately. I order a lot of records from Europe... that shit gets expensive fast as hell if you package them like we do in the states. Sometimes the sellers don't even put in a cardboard support. My record was OK, sleeve got dinged a little bit though. Good quality pressing at least.

I use to buy a ton of records from Europe on discogs, and ebay. Especially Music on Vinyl stuff. It gets expensive fast. Mainly because of the shipping. I did find out though, that if you live in a major city with lots of record stores, that they can get them, and usually for retail price. Now if you are buying obscure video game soundtracks, there's no other options that I know if, but if you are like me, getting some re-releases of rock, grunge, etc... from the 60's-present, check you local music shop. A lot of times they can get it directly from their distributor.

I'm not really a game soundtrack person, but I saw someone posted Outrun Arcade. Where would I find this. Sounds pretty awesome!

I have at least one shop locally that gets some import stuff, but usually the stuff I'm after is out of print. I build up a big want-list on discogs so I can at least get several records from each seller. Shipping is still killer but it eases it a lot if you can snag multiple records in each order.

So anyways, this summer I have bought two copies of Gary Wilson's Dream(s)/Soul Travel 45rpm single.

One I sold at my garage sale for a dime not knowing that it was worth anything (I thought that it was gospel music).
Lucky for me, I got a second copy last weekend in a quarter bin.

Daft Punk's Tron Legacy soundtrack is on Amazon right now for $16. I picked up a copy finally;

Thanks for the heads up. Just placed the order.

I really would like to get some Agalloch on vinyl... anyone have it to show off?

 

[Electric Grave]

Just got me The Book of Souls in a 3 set vinyl...

 

[terry.330]

Shinobi 3 has been up for PO for a couple days.

 

[max 330 mega]

this is probably a dumb question, but for anyone who purchased the SOR soundtrack, have you guys given it a spin yet? it sounds fucking amazing... i guess ive just never listened to these tracks on anything other than an old CRT and genesis. it blows me away how complex and intricate the songs are when heard in hifi. love it!

No. Video game vinyl are the new homecarts.

 

[terry.330]

Shinobi 3 has been up for PO for a couple days.

The site says "Add to cart", is it shipping currently?

 

[Beelzebub]

Yep, it's not actually a pre-order. They have the stock on hand.

Damn! That shipped out quick. I never received a conformation that it was shipped.

Just got me The Book of Souls in a 3 set vinyl...

How do you like it?

 

[team_andromeda]

Yep, it's not actually a pre-order. They have the stock on hand.

Thanks, just ordered.

Anybody has "Underworld - A Hundred Days Off" lying around and wants to sell? The prices on discocks are dumb.

 

[suicidekiller]

Got Shinobi III from Data Discs of London today. The artwork is amazing, plus you get a free poster too. I really like how they put effort in making those records and I'm really keen with what they'll come up next (after Super Hang-On, Out Run and Streets of Rage 2 that is).

I don't, but very good taste with that. Best of luck trying to find it. The only underworld record I have is dubnobasswithmyheadman 20th anniversary reissue.

Yeah I went with the CD release for now...lol 58 cents on amazon. Finding the vinyl isn't the problem but the prices are too high IMO...not as high as Kraftwerk 1 and 2 though

Edit: found one for 35€...fuck it, bought.

On the vinyl storage front, I found this neat Ikea hack via a blog for just such a need:
