I was actually talking about Korean artist releases, not necessarily imports. The more expensive one I bought was a copy of Vivid by the band Adoy. I've noticed that the $50 mark tends to be around the average price for many notable artists: Justhis, nafla, Oohyoo, Surl, etc. Like you said, it probably does have to do with small runs, limited market, and potentially even pressing outside the country. Because of the smaller market, Korean music on vinyl is in a rough state where alot of the old music is hard to find and out of print so it's expensive, and the new releases are made in such limited quantity that they're also hard to find and import and end up being expensive.

Importing from Korea in general very expensive. That's if you're lucky to find a shop that'll even ship releases you're looking for to your location. The retail price of records seem to be much higher too. Last time I imported from Korea, one single LP cost me $33 while another single LP $48, and shipping was $40. I think the shipping has gotten more expensive now too.

Never saw the live action version, but Ein is not the first thing I think of when I hear Cowboy Bebop. For 160 bones, I just hope it doesn't shed.

PO: Slipknot - The End, So Far
ghost replied to ZeroNowhere's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I'm in the same boat. I feel like they have the makings of a great Slipknot track like solid riffs, fierce vocals, and good drums parts, but song structure doesn't flow. Taking The Dying Song as an example, they only use the intro part once and that could have easily been a verse that they recycle at least one more time. After the first pre-chorus/chorus they go straight into a long bridge before going back to that pre-chorus/chorus and ending the song. There isn't a satisfying loop and we can't anticipate what the next part of the song will be. And the choruses are lackluster. They're just not catchy. -

Slipknot - REPRESSES 2022 THREAD

I hope Vol.3 gets some kind of remastering treatment. I don't know about the OG pressing, but the RSD version has the awful Rick Rubin mix with relentless compression.- 229 replies

Somethin' be fishy. It has purity listed. But also, Frail Limb Nursery isn't on it.

I need some advice on my record collection
ghost replied to swallowtales's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Tbh I kind of get it. Quality is a crapshoot, everything's a pre-order, production costs are rising, and getting records damaged in the mail sucks. But I dunno, I don't think these things should be affecting how you feel about music. At the end of the day, it's just stuff. Don't sell your collection. Just enjoy what you have and maybe focus on buying from labels you know will ship things securely or have a good return/replacement policy. -

It's up! Going back to freaking sleep. Edit: holy hell...3 min, and it's sold out... -

Not that I could find. But I would also have to guess that it's pretty limited. I think it might be closer to $85 PPD. Shipping is showing as 3,200Y for me (tested with a copy of amplifier worship) making the total a whopping 8,920Y. I might end up just getting both variants to make the most of the shipping. -

PO: Boris Flood & NO from Third Man
ghost replied to Prestonlanes's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
@Derek™ keep a pulse on the NYD webshop. Somebody on a Facebook Boris fan group says they saw a few flood related items pop up on NYDs FB store for a hot second. Among those items they say were included are the elusive fan club variant of Flood @ ¥ 5,700 and the TMR vault exclusive as well @ ¥4,000. Could be that they're trying to match the initial release date of the album on 12.15. So, maybe we'll see something pop up tomorrow 🤞 -
New to the vinyl gang: Where to start?
ghost replied to Marla's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Just leave the hobby now. You will inevitably miss that 1/25 variant down the line and, at the point, is what you have really a collection? In all seriousness though, I guess it depends on what type of music you're looking for. If you're into pop music, you can probably find what you're looking for on any major music store like Rough Trade, Turntable Lab, etc. For Soundtracks, Mondo, Invada, Waxwork Records are good. For myself, I find the best ways to find releases are: Following artists that you like on social media. They usually post if they are releasing something on vinyl. Looking up what labels your favorite artists are on and keeping up with their social media. Depending on how small a label or artist is, sometimes it's the only way to get info on upcoming vinyl releases Exploring on bandcamp Joining facebook, reddit or discord groups. I've lucked out so many times seeing a post on a repress or new release and being able to snag something And of course, visiting this forum! Have a fun time collecting! -

What is the vinyl you never open/listen to in your collection?
ghost replied to seb's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I hate getting sealed records. More often than not, the jackets come with seam splits. And it's good to test play new records with how many bad pressings there are nowadays. Have had to return/exchange like 4 or 5 records within the past year for audio defects. -

I'm sure there's a reason for not doing this, but how hard would have it been to just label each variant with a sticker that's more descriptive than "color vinyl / limited edition"? Also, comment from discogs: "...That being said, wtf is this version that we have? Last email I received from TMR was "Would you send me a photo of the front of the record you received? I will be able to determine the variant you sent by the stickers or lack of stickers on the shrink wrap." If true, why couldn't they identify and send the right version before?
