IRL Vinyl 3x3 Thread!
Let's follow a theme.
Pick 9 records from your collection that suit the following characteristics:
>most expensive/rare
Paul McCartney – Sweet Thrash
Bought in Burlington VT for $9. Still sealed, it could be sold for roughly $1,500.
>most important/significant to you personally
Slowdive – Souvlaki
Saw them live in Montreal the day before major brain surgery, and the band signed the record after the show, wishing me good luck with the procedure. It was their first show in Quebec and they were met warmly. "Best wishes."
>nicest package [design, colour, etc.]
Explosions in the Sky – Take Care, Take Care, Take Care
This double LP folds out into a house, and side D has an awesome wooden floor etching. Pretty nice!
>most eccentric/weird
Fin – The Nus
A noise 7" bolted between two sheets of corrugated plastic. It's great. Basically sounds like dragging concrete over asphalt.
>pleb/guilty pleasure item
Iron Maiden – Killers
My dad's favourite meal. He boasted that he could play it straight through on the drums when he was a teenager, and it was his first music gift to me. I like it unironically.
>local band [or an artist from your country if not applicable]
Solids – Blame Confusion
A two-piece punk band from Montreal. They played a $10 show recently and I got the record signed. Great guys!
>most played/favourite
Goldmund – The Malady of Elegance
This record only gets better with each listen. The surface noise makes it endlessly better than a digital copy.
>notable recent purchase
Alvin Lucier – I Am Sitting in a Room
An interesting sound experiment from the early 80s that aims to represent a room's acoustics by having a small speech played into a room and recorded again, multiple times.
>wild card; anything you want to talk about
Current 93 – I Have a Special Plan for This World
A spoken world album I find hair-raising. It's the most eerie record I own.

For colour, Brian Jonestown Massacre's Who Killed Sgt. Pepper
For packaging, Do Make Say Think - s/t

Musically probably Faust - s/t
As far as record's in general, I have a big band record that featured 2 or 3 drummers, and I have an album by an anon who wasn;t selling any on his bandcamp
>pleb/guilty pleasure item
Duran Duran - s/t is probably the most pleb thing I have and it's great. That, or U2's Boy
>local band [or an artist from your country if not applicable]

Yellow Swans - Going Places
I love this album, and the packaging is minimal but fantastic. The record its self is clear and beautiful.
>>60490825
First of all, cool idea for a thread OP. You have some fantastic records. And don't feel guilty for Iron Maiden, it's great.
>>60491307
Really jealous of that Do Make Say Think record.
>>60491798
It's a good one man, I got mine on their site, and for a great price for what you get imo
>>60491798
OP here, thanks, and I wanted to mention that I share your love for the GYBE LP. Bought my copy in Montreal at Cheap Thrills, where some staff is actually working for [or has worked with] GYBE's label. They recommended Set Fire to Flames for a similar vibe to this record and you should give it a listen.
Too lazy to take a new one so here's one a made that's post-rock mixed with other differnet stuff for each ones
