Random Vinyl Shipping Rant: Split Seams
unknown pleasures replied to Deathbyart's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Totally disagree with this! PROVE ME WRONG, buddy... -
Random Vinyl Shipping Rant: Split Seams

I stand corrected! Those do look like some pretty heavy stock inners from what I can tell in the photos. I think labels have at least gotten better than that, I know records from the 80s/90s/00s had some really thin inners, sometimes no thicker than a regular sheet of printer paper. -

I refuse to believe a 180 gram record without a split inner sleeve exists. Never seen one. Never will. -

Don’t think it’s really anything new, probably just more people buying records through the mail as the years go by. -
Victory Records Auction

Lysol is highly in demand in these hard times. -
Victory Records Auction

I’m hoping for a huge twist where the trash cans are full of Victory test pressings and trunk is full of jars of cat piss. -
Victory Records Auction
unknown pleasures replied to skidroje's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I don’t think it’s anyone commenting on bidding, I just think the thread has brought the auction attention from people who’d otherwise never have known about it. There’s a lot more people who read this board than just “the regulars”... -

The attention from this thread alone is probably doubling the price. -
PO: Haim - Women In Music Part III
unknown pleasures replied to MichaelMush's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I had to hound them three times via their online ticketing system (the first couple of tries you keep getting general COVID-related messages about how busy they are and asked to read the FAQs) but when I finally got escalated to a real support person my order - which had been in limbo for months like yours - shipped the next day. -
Official Record Store Day Thread
unknown pleasures replied to timsimmons's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Reckless doesn’t keep real-time inventory so I’m assuming this is long sold out and a lot of folks are going to see cancellations. -

There has been a steady stream posted on Discogs from various places all day, all for around retail. Just keep an eye on there and I’m sure you’ll get one. -

Lockdown-wise, things are almost as bad now as when the original RSD 2020 needed to be postponed (and eventually split up). Man, they really couldn’t have picked worse timing for their two big annual events... -

PO NOW: Frank Ocean - Endless

Wouldn’t really be a Frank Ocean mail out if it didn’t arrive late... -
THE OFFICIAL EBAY CRAZINESS THREAD
unknown pleasures replied to vinyljunkie's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I dunno, maybe this is an original "90s" Sub Pop sticker... but even if it is, $188 is a lot of bones for something that's basically identical to something they still throw in for free with pretty much any online order to this day: https://www.ebay.com/itm/90s-SUB-POP-sticker/383700365255 -
Official Record Store Day Thread

I don’t really have the time to work out the numbers so I’ll take you at face value and agree if you think the 5% figure they give us is accurate, but it would be unfair to only include sold copies and not those still for sale priced over retail as they technically take away from the pool of copies available to the public at retail. Each of those represent a copy taken off a wall or out of a bin in some retail environment and being offered for sale at a markup. -

Would love to know where they got this figure: -

Generic Album Jackets?
unknown pleasures replied to The Mule's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Sleeve City is great: https://www.sleevecityusa.com/record-jackets-s/1830.htm Bags Unlimited is pretty good, too. Some of the Amazon sellers can provide good products, but quality varies there so I tend to avoid them.
