Post em here. Pic related I just got today. It says original on the clear plastic cover, but how do I know if it's truly one of the original 500, or does original just mean it was pressed in 1997?
Not original 500. Those are very rare dipshit

Got a copy of Enter the Slasher House, signed by Avey Tare

>falling for the vinyl meme
Yep, like I said, all stupid.
No pic, but I picked up Paper Mache Dream Balloon by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard last week. It's the "bootleg" edition too that's on orange vinyl and the packaging's just a plain white cover with the name stamped on it, which I really like.

Yea I know they're very rare. It says original so I was just wondering what that meant
>>63335744
>paying 18 bucks for vinyl
lmao this hobby has to have the worst expense-reward ratio
>>63336090
$18 isn't bad, it's fun to have a physical copy of an album I can show off to friends and to listen to occasionally.
It's almost 100% not an original pressing OP. The reissues are made to look almost identical to the first pressing. I'm pretty sure the original pressing was hand numbered on the back out of /500.
Recently picked up the Sometimes demo by DIIV

I think it means it's the original vinyl version, as opposed to the longer CD version
>>63335845
I bet you don't even own one record and have to blow off steam by hating on people who buy records.

Vinyl GY!BE releases often have entirely different tracklists and mixes from the standard versions anon.
Picked up Ziggy Stardust at long fucking last. Also got Sonic Youth's "Goo", which made me realize just how much I love it when you open a new vinyl and find out it's a fancy non-standard color.
Also bought pic related. I can't fucking wait to listen to it, which is fucking killing me because it won't arrive until early next month because it's being shipped economy from FUCKING ITALY
gonna b so worth it tho, ima frame that bitch

"show off to my friends"
Isn't it obvious to you?
You're been had, silly hipster.
>>63336532
didn't even know they pressed that baby.
-1981 reissue of crossing the red sea with the adverts
-yellowman - zungguzungguguzungguzeng
>>63335744
I bought one of these recently, don't think it was a first pressing but was essentially completely the same.

>is a fan of a certain release
>buys release on vinyl and keeps it in good condition as a token of appreciation of the music
>shows it to friends
I see no problem here you smug bag of cum
>>63336563
They sure did. IAm8Bit do a few vinyl pressings of video game soundtracks, but I've never even thought about buying video game music until I saw that bad boy. It's mindblowing enough as it is, but on vinyl? Sign me the fuck up. Shame they only did 3 pressings of it and aren't bringing it back.

I keep seeing this on vinyl when I'm out shopping, I know nothing about grimes except her name and her weird face. I have no intention of listening to her music, but I'm always tempted to buy the vinyl and find out what the deal is by going in totally blind.
Would this be a terrible, terrible idea?
>>63337080
Forgot muh pic
>>63337080
yes because youtube exists.
>>63337114
I don't want to listen to it on youtube first. I want to be a fucking idiot and make my first experience with it on a newly purchased vinyl, or not at all.
>>63337143
it sounds like you've already decided for yourself.
My birthday is this month, been nice to myself. Also have a U Turn Orbit coming in to replace my broken turntable
>>63336448
Op here. It says original 1997 LP on it so maybe it's just a pressing from the first year of release. Most likely not one of the first 500 though.
>>63337214
>or not at all
I haven't decided shit, it's one or the other
>>63336448
>>63337296
Op again. You're probably right after thinking about it more.

Did you get the clear vinyl?
>>63336411

Cool, thanks for the info!!

>but how do I know if it's truly one of the original 500, or does original just mean it was pressed in 1997?
- The glued picture in the original release is an actual darkroom photo, as opposed to regular printed image;
- It's hand-numbered to 500
- The original edition doesn't have the "original 1997 LP" sticker on the outer sleeve
>>63338570
Also, Constellation represses GY!BE's records very often, so no one knows the true date of the last reissue.
>>63338570
Cool thanks :)
