Vinyl Collecting thread Vol WAX

[aepps20]

When I had my daughter in September, my “music room” with my turntable and records became the babies secondary room while my girl recovered from her c-section, now that the baby is in her own room, it has been repurposed as my girls work from home office.

So until we get into a larger living space, one of my favorite hobbies has been put on the backburner.

Please tell Jameson that I'm thinking about him.

It's cool they're repressing Vaudeville Villain, but it's mostly but mid in this list. Get on down pressings are usually pretty bad too

What pressings have you had a bad experience with?

I have the illmatic one and it’s not all that great. I’ve heard the Miles Davis ‘miles in Tokyo’ isn’t very good either. Reddit is full of comments about their pressings

I’m trying to find The Low End Theory but it’s sold out everywhere. On Discogs the sellers are asking for around $90.

 

[kickvicisous]

Thats normally in stock at any decent record store I've been too. Thankfully I got mine a while ago. Might want to try Tribes official website, I know they sell stuff directly themselves

I will keep searching, all of a sudden every online store is out of stock.

I appreciate it; I purchased All Eyez On Me from Guitar Center in January and they still have not shipped anything. I purchased The Low End Theory from a seller on eBay and it should arrive Monday.

Bought my first record in 2019 (Weeknd HOB)
And a ****ty player off amazon. Had no knowledge about record players then and I sent it back. Fast forward about a month ago, I was looking for a gift for a friend. She loves records so decided to get her a record. In the process I noticed some record prices were crazy high. It sparked my interest again and I went down the rabbit hole researched for weeks learning about different players etc. Finally buckled down on one.

Audio Technica LPW40WN
I love the authentics of it.

And added a few records to my collection
Lana Del Rey- Born to Die
Jhene Aiko- Chilombo, Sail Out, Souled Out
Sade- This Far collection
Amy Winehouse- Back to Black
And still have my HOB record.
I like easy listening when at home.

I Paid $350. I think thats the retail? Before that I got a "like new" from amazon for $315 but the cover was shattered, so I sent it back decided to get new.

Question. Is it possible for record stores to sell "bootlegs"? Asking cause I copped Channel Orange from this store a few weeks ago, but later read online that that album was never officially pressed. Idk if thats fact tho. Just makes me think. Record sounds good regardless .

Anyways.. Just started collecting in December and its growing beautifully

 

[spacedoodoo]

Yea, record stores sell bootlegs. I saw a couple of Westside Gunn ones

 

[RyGuy45]

Yep, bootlegs happen. I have Tool and Depeche Mode bootlegs bought new from store and they sound real good

Yep plenty of record stores sell bootlegs, and yeah cO was never pressed officially. Most Frank Ocean records you'll find in store are bootlegs, unless they're charging $500+ for Blonde or Endless. Just glad I was able to grab Endless from the preorder lol

What stands are you guys using for your turntables? Looking for ideas to make a purchase

 

[noskey]

Gotta ask, does anyone have the Captain Murphy project from FlyLo on vinyl? I got hooked on that album again a couple months ago and realized when searching to see if it was ever pressed, that its a ****ing unicorn.
