Best  - The Pogues with Joe Strummer - Fantastic album. The sound quality is one of the best I've heard on a live album.

maybe I got a bad album... mine was choppy and had blank spaces in the audio in a couple spots on the B side.

Best: the REM set and Disclosure 12"

Worst: Neko case 7". It was just OK. I also bought the Pink Panther soundtrack on impulse, but obviously I overpaid for something I could probably track down an OP for a buck or 2. 

Now I feel dumb. I just looked on eBay and found an OP for 8 bucks with shipping... yup. Maybe I won't buy these movie scores anymore without research beforehand.

I really like the LCD Soundsystem set I got. Honorable mention would actually be the free Divided 7". It had a couple really good songs on it.

Meh would be the Tame Impala one. It just seemed like they decided to not sing or anything for about half the songs.

Worst would be The Pogues and Joe Strummer. This thing was definitely pressed from mp3's. The audio goes staticy a bunch and there are even a few parts where it skips, though the vinyl has nothing on it.

Bad Books - II

Picked it up at a show a year ago because i loved the art in the collectors book. That kind of led to me buying my first setup and the piles of records since.

did you get the signed "poster" square thing too? It's a really good album

mine were The first Cage the Elephant album and Oracular Spectacular MGMT. Since then, I've got about 60 more, so I'm going slow but have great stuff

tada

I'm just curious as to what actually happened. I saw the post on twitter yesterday about the upcoming reissues, joined the mailing list immediately, and have been waiting while also researching what is going on. A bunch of people say that there were more sets but those are gone, but the Cake site says coming soon, and there hasn't been any other info anywhere. It's so disorganized...

not trying to be a dick, but, how in the world do they find where packages are supposed to be delivered to in Japan if they dont use street numbers or names or zip codes?

ninjas

ships in 2-4 weeks? sheesh

thanks guys

I would order this NOW from Amazon if I knew it was the clear... If it's black, I'll wait it out. I'm really gonna start burning through money with you guys posting all these bands I've never heard of. Spotify is also not helping matters. Both of you combined is like... hey try this band... good? BUY ITTTTTTTTTT

I can offer our PO box in Ohio to you if you think it would be cheaper to have a large batch of records sent at once rather than purchase your own box... I'd check the price of a box though honestly. I think you can get 6 month rates?

I've never heard of this band... sorry everyone! However, I'm listening to DbD on Spotify and I'm definitely gonna get this album!

I ordered Offspring - Smash... personally I hope it ships like it says it will. I wanted to get Pretty. Odd. but couldn't order it at all.

small collection... I've been collecting since December. I can say though that I can and do listen to ALL my albums start to finish without disliking any songs.

I have three pressings of this album now including the SRC version. I've recorded three clips of the same song and I'm curious what people "blindly" think of the sound quality of each one. If you're so inclined, take a listen and tell me what you think of them.

number one sounds like crap... 2 sounds the best i think... 3 is ok, better than 1, but not as good as 2

Shortly after starting to collect, I found a copy of AC/DC Back in Back for 10 bucks. I didn't know prices then, but 10 bucks seemed very cheap. The more crazy part of this was that I found it at my local Tractor Supply.

I grabbed a copy of Fitz and the Tantrums about 20 seconds after it went up. Thanks for selling to me for 17 instead of 46 like on eBay!

This is correct.  And also bogus.  It occurred with the last Hot Cash promotion, and pissed off a lot of people.  Others laughed about the poor marketing decision.  I fall under the latter.

I actually just hopped on to see if that FOB Cork Tree repress was out yet since there hasn't been any new info that I know of...

Getting my post count up in a thread that will be locked soon.

wait, why locked? what did I do wrong?

so they don't let you buy any vinyl AT ALL during this time?

so yeah...

I ordered this from Amazon when it dropped to 14.99... This was on March 16th. It is still out of stock. Is this a telltale sign of Plastic Beach being discontinued?

How long has anyone waited for something to come back in stock?

What would you do? I don't want to screw the guy - but this seems quirky.

I had the same sort of thing. My approach was... USPS says it was delivered, so it was. My conscience is clear, and I avoided losing money.
