andynz reacted in Knowing When to Give Up Being a Completionist/Variant Collector?
Step 1: Admit that you have a problem.
Step 2: Easy Pass.
You see, when I became one with Easy Pass and accepted him as my savior, saying no became as easy as breathing.
Just say no and D.A.R.E. to keep collectors off variants.

andynz reacted to wbhendrix in Ryam Adams - PAX AM Records
i was living in Auckland back in 06 and was just discovering Adams. He was supposed to come through town while i was there but he ended up canceling the show. Then he quit the cardinals shortly thereafter. Had to wait until 2011 to see him in Copenhagen! haha had to chase that boy around for quite some time to finally see him.

Trying to keep it in the VC family here, I would like Green Day Dookie, being sold by another member here:

If that sells in the meantime, then I would also be stoked with this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B005IY4W5M/ref=tmm_vnl_new_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=new&sr=1-6&qid=1436138998

I actually forgot about that thread.

OK, sure buddy.
Just sharing my excitment about seeing so many Samhain records at one time. You don't ever post when you get to pick up something special?

So first of all it was just a joke, I don't have the money or intent to buy all of them. I bought what I wanted. I was going to PM him and tell him where I bought them when I got a minute cause I was going to break down what exactly they had. Which was more than just a simple line.
I'm really glad some of you have to get so pissy so quick without even thinking of other possible reasons.
I was excited, so i'm sorry the way it came off. But, at the same time some of you got pissy a little quick.

The last few pages of hateful comments about this new TYOPAJ release that Travis hand-pressed himself sicken me. The man works hard for us and he does this out of his love for music and this is how you talk about this release?

andynz reacted to Sad Heart in Nirvana Greatest Hits - coming soon
The Steve Albini mix is by far the best version of In Utero, and you definitely need it on vinyl. You can get it cheaper on Discogs (than what I see it go for in stores from time to time). Usually are $35 on Discogs, and $55+ in stores. http://www.discogs.com/Nirvana-In-Utero-2013-Mix/release/5146137
I have the 200g RSD version of Incesticide, and damn does it sound amazing. But I agree, a non RSD release would be great.
I have the 180g remastered deluxe pressing of Bleach and it is fantastic. For Unplugged I have the ORG 2009 180g pressing, and like all ORG, it sounds amazing.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
For anyone looking to get a copy of Nevermind:
I have a few different copies of Nevermind. The MFSL 24k CD is the best quality overall, and I use it as my digital listening copy. The best vinyl copy is the ORG pressing. I have pretty much all of them (I have all of them digitally as FLAC), and have done a lot of spinning. Whatever you do, just never buy those damn picture discs; they sound like complete shit - the loudness war won on those. Same goes for that Blue Ray Pure Audio Disk. The 20th Anniversary 4xLP Black is great though, and doesn't use the "remastered" tracks that dickhead Bob Ludwig did. The HD Tracks 96/24 is great too, but I still prefer the MFSL version.
// Various Audio Versions
•Nevermind 1991 Original Release - Not Great at all sadly.
•Nevermind 1996 MSFL 24k CD - Best Audio Quality (In my opinion. A lot of people don't like it.)
•Nevermind 1996 MFSL 200g - Fantastic Copy - Good luck getting one!
•Nevermind 2008 Back To Black 180g - Really, really good vinyl copy. Hard to come by M/M.
•Nevermind 2009 ORG 180g - Great Copy
•Nevermind 2009 ORG 180g Pallas - Best Vinyl Copy - http://www.discogs.com/Nirvana-Nevermind/release/4175725
•Nevermind (UIJY-9009 Japan 2LP 200g) - No better than the '96 MFSL Copy (More Expensive)
•Nevermind 2011 20th Anniversary 4xLP 180g DGC - Decent.
•Nevermind 2011 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Remastered CDs - $$$ HORSE SHIT - http://www.oldies.com/product-view/30799O.html
•Nevermind 2011 20th Anniversary 4xLP Pic Disks DGC - Worst version of Nevermind ever. Fuck Bob Ludwig. Same with ^^^
Anyways, everyone's preferences vary as well as their listening set up. So this game can be a little expensive as there are a lot of copies floating out there, with various descriptions of what sounds the best.
But if you're going to get one, get the Pallas ORG: http://www.discogs.com/Nirvana-Nevermind/release/4175725// The cheapest copy you can get is the Pallas repress for like $23: http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/92391/Nirvana-Nevermind-180_Gram_Vinyl_Record / http://www.discogs.com/Nirvana-Nevermind/release/4819086
Of course, most (excluding that stupid Super Deluxe CD) of the best copies of Nevermind are expensive, and hard to get a hold of. The damn MFSL 24k G CD goes for $100+ easily. You can find one on Discogs for $65 right now which isn't horrible. http://www.discogs.com/Nirvana-Nevermind/release/603150I can always send anyone a rip of it though. This copy is the way you're meant to listen to Nevermind. If you haven't heard it, oh man, the album will come to life for you even more!
Woops. Nirvana rant. Sorry!

andynz reacted to mindovermatter in Smashing Pumpkins
Maybe I can help:
When mastering the audio for the first pressing of this, it was mastered too loudly or too "hot." In doing this, it physically creates a wider gap between each groove. If there is a ton of low end and not enough space between the grooves, it causes negative audio reactions.
My guess is that this new pressing was cut much quieter, allowing for the grooves to remain closer together and keep the ending of each side further from the label.
This is how longer records are cut into single LPs. If you compare any 1xLP pressing to a future 2xLP repressing, the second pressing is generally louder with a more prominent low end.

andynz reacted to mrrom92 in THE OFFICIAL EBAY CRAZINESS THREAD
Here's ebay craziness for you.
About 7 years ago I bought that damn Jason Mraz album at my local record store, on the strength of that "I'm Yours" single. I couldn't have paid more than $12 for it. I'm not really sure what I was expecting because, quite predictably, I hated it. I listened to it once, maaaaybe twice, and put it on the shelf never to touch it again. I figured I couldn't pay anyone to take that thing off my hands, and it would just serve as a reminder of simpler times.
I come to find out the other day that the album is being repressed due to high demand.... reealllly?
So I throw it on the bay... Less than 4 minutes in, there are multiple watchers, and I get a message with an offer for $200 if I end the listing.
REALLLLLLLLYYY?
Jason fucking Mraz.
secondhand deja owners are immediately absolved of all shame after this.

Thanks!
