>pic related
Got these today. Pretty pleased.
>tfw no record stores anywhere near me
>closest thing is the very limited entry level selection at a barnes & noble and even that is 40 minutes away
>>66228716
Damn that's rough. Barnes and Noble can have some decent stuff sometimes though. I got a Gogol Bordello record there which I thought was pretty neat, even though they're kind of bad.
>>66228681
is your c&l pressing as bad as mine?
>>66229244
i don't have c&l but this must be a trend with sufjan because the copy of seven swans i got at one of his shows is absolutely horrible
>>66229306
>i don't have c&l
what?
isn't the one in the pic yours?
>>66229306
yeah, and the anniversary edition of illinois is no better.
>>66229328
i am not op
>>66229334
oh i see
>>66228681
Is that the new pressing of Deathcon?
My last purchase was a 50-pack of Mofi sleeves. It's the first time I've ever handled them, and I must say it's pretty good. I also ordered one free sample of a 10" Diskeeper 2.0 for one 10" record, and I'm considering buying the standard 12" ones.
got a 99 c Shostakovitch record
W O W
Couldn't find Pt. 2 of Gensho, so i just settled for Pt 1 for now.
Actor is my favourite St Vincent album, so why not.
Quite pleased, almost bought The Glowing Man aswell, maybe next time.
Picked up this for a quid, probably won't listen to it
>>66233517
Why
>>66233669
It was a quid, that's why.
:^)
getting wildflower deluxe tomorrow
>>66233712
Oh god, I almost thought it was the vinyl version, didn't notice the giant hand holding it.
>>66233839
>>66230570
i had the diskeeper 10" sleeves and i found that they were actually making tiny scratches so i will never buy them again

Not at home to take a picture but my last purchase was pic related.
£3. Pretty good condition.
>>66233839
>>66233849
Nice meme
>>66233851
If you don't dust and clean your records, the dirt will leave hairlines and scratches if you slide inside any sleeve.
>>66233875
thanks
>>66233749

>>66228716
Amazon
Picked these guys up in Montreal, waiting on the Pink reissue that's shipping tomorrow I believe.
Vinyl:
Hailu Mergia and Dahlak Band - Wede Harer Guzo
Wiwichu - Zeigarnik Effect
Cassettes:
New York Taps - Goner EP
Kolumkilli - Cyprus
CDs:
Bill Evans - Empathy + A Simple Matter Of Conviction
What are your thoughts on represses? Aside from being hideously expensive of course. Do you care about getting originals?
>>66235333
Depends. It's really pointless buying vinyl represses of records you could find in dollar bins. It's a blessing when a rare, out-of-print record gets reissued.
I'm, for one, glad that some albums I've been looking for for years have been reissued in the past years.
Got this yesterday
>>66235430
Yeah, I have a thing for cheesy but well produced 80s pop which is in endless supply in charity shops, but more obscure things like The Jesus and Mary Chain albums being reissued was amazing to me. Same with Eels albums. Original pressings were insanely expensive on ebay.
hlep
>>66235535
If that's a bootleg, you just got cucked, cuz an official reissue was pretty much confirmed now.
>>66228681
my ex got me c&l and i was so happy just because it was a thoughtful gift, but man the tracklisting is FUCKED
>>66235555
Original UK pressing.
CRELP-060-A5 * DMM ASL TOWNHOUSE 3 MAX etc
>>66235571
Some more random picks from recent weeks. Only original pressings.
>>66232266
doubledubs checked.
also good taste
Why is it that everyone on /mu/ has exactly the same fucking taste except for a few outliers like >>66235017 and >>66235751
>>66235933
most of /mu/ gets its music FROM /mu/
>>66235751
A few more, originals again only. Bottom middle is Main - Hz.
>>66235933
Because most people here don't put any effort into collecting and just buy stuff they see in retail stores, which is pretty homogenous.
A load of stuff from Italians Do It Better. No picture though.
Probably the last time I order from them though unless the £ unfucks itself.
I did some crate digging yesterday.
I found 2 other records ️️besides these 4 that I bought.
The cardboard one was still wrapped and only $1
>>66235570
Yeah in my copy of age of adz impossible soul is split because it was too long for just one side. The record itself is good quality tho.
>>66233839
>>66233849
Not even shitting, this is the real deal and its uploaded on my /Sufjan/ general.
Now we just need hairy amps
>>66235969
Most people here don't put any effort into music in general.
>>66236164
wel yea
>>66236230
björk & julee
>>66235969
love that slowdive - morningrise record and love the way it looks on vinyl
>>66236259
fucking filters.. good picks those two I meant.
>>66236394
To be honest I think the cover looks a bit shit (better in my photo than irl), and every image in the web does as well. Not sure why, too washed out and bad colors I guess. The actual print is still the best rendition of it though. Fantastic EP anyway.
Niggas show me your black metal
>>66236851

Just picked up Godspeed"s Don't Bend Ascend at a bookstore today
>>66236970
hell yeah
>>66235969
How much was that Slowdive record?
I assume you're in Britain too
Just picked up Godspeed's Don't Bend Ascend at a bookstore today on a whim
Everything I got since last month.
>>66235751
>>66235969
Great great picks, like everything in there, but I really love that Woo and Basil Kirchin.
The Chico Freeman cover doesn't have that ringwear, I just didn't notice how much ringwear the protective sleeve had.
>>66237378
Nice looking picks there too! I only recognize a couple, can you give the titles?
>>66237445
Oooh Maupin (I have it too) and Freeman, excellent. Ayler and Shepp ain't bad either. What's the bottom middle?
>>66237448
Yeah sure, from left top to right bottom
Wilson Tanner - 69
Mood Hut - Snaker 007
Andreolina - An Island In The Moon
Seigen Ono - Seigen
Felt - Forever Breathes The Lonely Word
Chimera - Lughnasa
>>66233517
Why would you buy trash?
>>66237479
Linda Sharrock - Gods
Triple LP free jazz live session from this year, good stuff.
>>66237819
Nice face fag
>>66237891

>>66229244
not OP, but yeah, mine sucks dick
my pressings of Age of Adz and Illinois are fine though
1/2
>>66237819
I want your boipussy! Yummy!
>>66238301
I'm flattered, but the word "boipussy" really is a turn off
Not in yet but it's my most recent purchase, am pumped.
>>66237819
you are cute :3
>>66238633
thanks :)
>>66237524
How much was Confield?
>>66237819
post feet
>>66228681
I want deathconsciousness so so bad but shipping is fucking $40 to here
>>66240951
WOW! That's like two whole new albums! How about you just save your money? Or get a job.
>>66237524
what album is that in the bottom middle with the comic characters?
>>66242655
Mikami Kan - Bang
>>66242906
thanks
Bro and I went to a used record store a few weekends ago
goodwill run + birthday gift
yes s/t is sealed and earthbound is a uk import-- both gifts from a very good friend of mine
needed an eq so i went to goodwill (and surprisingly found one) and they had almost every genesis cd in stock (which is very lucky for me because my dad threw out all of the liner notes for mine and stuck all the cds in a booklet) + talking heads/eno + naked brothers band + some high schooler's debut ep and oh boy its fucking terrible
>>66228681
+sufjan, talking heads
what pressing of remain is that
>>66229244
>>66229306
>>66237987
all of my sufjan albums are fine actually haha
>>66230570
the mofi sleeves are good but overrated and overpriced IMO
>>66233839
>>66233849
nice meme
>>66233912
+aphex, boc
>>66235511

>tfw no physical release of twin fantasy
bimp
Still haven't picked anything up since my festival blitz so this is my most recent... BBNG IV comes out tomorrow though doesn't it? Probably gonna try and pick that up.
>>66240951
Shipping was fucking brutal when I ordered the Giles Corey pressing... for some reason they sent me two copies though so I was able to sell one off
>>66229244
I have the clear pressing of C&L and it fucking blows, it's coned out slightly so on Side A the label is the only part making contact with the turntable
>>66246593
oh shit, it still works
>>66247052
what did you mean by this
>>66247092
it still moves
>>66247143
Oh mY GOd iT stiLL moVES
80s-00s reissues. Found these for $1 a piece at a soup kitchen thrift store incredibly, almost had a heart attack thinking they were original presses. Still can't belive these turned up there somehow, usually the records there are really weak.
posted this before but recent pickups
>>66247143
That's MPP silly
>>66247276
+grant green
very cool cops
>>66243726
how is that venus and mars record? i ordered a different LP and the distributor threw in that record's empty sleeve for no reason hah
>>66235751
was the cocteau twins expensive?
>>66237819
why does your face need to be included
literally attention whore: the post
>>66247276
Mice find
>>66233517
Piss on it
Take pic
?
Profit
>>66247388
Cause I'm lazy and didn't feel like moving and re positioning my webcam so that only the album was in the shot.
I just started collecting.
>>66247849
you should start over
>>66247849
I thought the whole "summer" meme was exaggerated, but this picture confirms it as true.
No wonder this board is shit now
>>66247861
Why? Because I don't have any indie hipster garbage yet?
>>66235535
bootleg confirmed shit quality evident
>>66242345
>shipping is too expensive so he must be poor
not everyone feels like paying a fuck ton of money on shipping just for one item, even if they really want it, fuck off
>>66247914
no thats pretty much exactly what you have
>>66228681
How does deathconsciousness sound?
>>66247276
Geez good for you
>
>>66248216
Sounds like 192kbps mp3 pressed in vinyl
I'm about to buy the new reissue of Perdition City. 2016 has been a good year for re-releases
Forgot pic, but I'm ordering black vinyl instead. Fuck paying more for colored.
I like Jack White and Americana stuff.
>>66228734
>Gogol Bad
I talked to them once (I worked for radio) and they were pretty chill dudes.
>>66233839
Trash
Hey fellas, don't really see a need to make a new thread about this, but I need a new phono pre-amp because my current one died. Looking for recommendations. Something that looks nice too would be good.
Set up will be
>NAD 310 Amp
>Carbon Debut TT
Since I'm here, may as well post a few things I picked up in the last couple of weeks. Not pictured, I also picked up Music Complete on the clear wax and Viet Cong s/t.
I've also got copies of of Blue and Court and Spark, as well as S&G's Bookends, on the way.
>>66229331
The packaging on mine was terrible. I could not get the records in and out for the life of me, I split the packaging down the seams just trying to slide it back in.
>>66246089
how was Sled Island this year? Didn't really like the lineup so I decided to pass, kinda paled in comparison to last years IMO. Still I'm convinced its one of the best music festivals in the world
>>66248216
pretty shit, the only reason I bought 3 was to sell them lol
>>66233912
nice picks my friend. wowee zowee is my all time fav
>>66240951
lol are you serious
I was saying shipping costs double the price of the actual thing and I can't justify that
>>66254358
meant for >>66242345
>>66252423
There was no way they were going to outdo 2015 but I actually enjoyed it way more than I had felt about the lineup on paper. Lots of acts whose albums I didn't care a whole lot for that ended up being way better live.
Just bought some off juno records. Should arrive monday I hope. Got Kid A, Amnesiac, OK Computer, The King Of Limbs, Illmatic (£9.50?), Good Kid m.a.a.d City, Endtroducing and Monster Movie. My Wildflower has just been dispatched too am excited to listen to it.

>>66248294
I've been looking for that album cover to the right for ages now, can't figure out what album it is
got these yesterday.
Recently picked up full moon fever
>>66251562
Wait what is that sealed cLOUDDEAD a reissue or something? I don't remember reading about any tho
![IMG_20160708_155746[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/FSvxJCu.jpg "IMG_20160708_155746[1].jpg")
from last month
Really can't be fucked to sort out photos for the latest bits
This plus:
The Body - No One Deserves Happiness
Wreck & Reference - Want
The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die
They Might Be Giants - Flood
Grimes tshirt
Massive Attack tshirt
Both tees bought at live shows
My last pickups, plus Gorillaz s/t LP
Never heard deafheaven's debut until now, good shit for $9.
Picked these up today.. I kinda regret buying the Goat record on 5x7" now, but whatever.
Also picked up an original pressing of Loveless the other week. Guy at the store said they bought a few crates worth of records from some dude that died. Guess I got lucky!
How'd I do /mu/?
>>66235751
Where did you pick up the Moloko?
>>66260068
>original pressing of Loveless
pics or didn't happen
>>66260553
Here's the label, I'll upload a picture of the cat# of the cover in a little bit
>>66260914
god DAMN I'm retarded
>>66260553
>>66260914
>>66260947
>>66260140
Sell all of your records and buy a new phone.
Also everything is dad rock as fuck
>>66260947
>>66261012
God damn, jelly as FUCK. You seriously got lucky.
>>66261054
Yeah, I really did. It was $20, because the store owner is clueless and I live in a shithole town where the only store sells 90% dadrock. I usually spend an hour or more every time I'm there, and usually I'll find one or two good records tops.
Can anyone rec me a good anti-static brush
>>66261211
There are a few records stores here in Chattanooga but there is a huge problem with stores being to "hip" and selling you the idea of the store itself rather than the records, if you understand. Things are usually way over priced.
Also with Discogs being as big as it is, stores just use that to set the price, its so hard to find a crazy unnoticed deal. I found a copy of "Since I Left You" in the "new and unsorted" bin and almost shit my pants then the guy told me it was $90.
Much proggier than usual, though saying that a few weeks ago I picked up The Snow Goose and Pat Metheny's Bright Size Life
>>66239795
Late reply but I got it for $14 in a local store, record and cover are in great shape.
>>66247355
>was the cocteau twins expensive?
I paid 60€ for it, so yeah kinda, but then again it's almost mint as far as the record goes (and sleeve ain't bad either).
>>66260285
Local record fair, haggled to 80€ for it and it's pretty much mint. The seller has a lot of other great stuff too, but I had blown my budget already. I also bought original mint Since I Left You (The Avalanches) from them for 60€.
>>66235017
Everybody digs Bill Evans! Damn..
