I hope this means we are getting the first two Goldfinger albums too!

I grabbed tickets today to see the Kooks at Great American Music Hall in SF next month and had a little daydream that I'd walk in and find that they had copies of their first two albums on vinyl for sale at the merch booth. I'm curious if anyone has found out of print albums at a show.
 
I picked up Au Revoir Simone's Still Light, Still Light recently and that seems to be OOP. I also grabbed Metric's Fantasies at their show at the Fox last year when it seemed to be out of print (now it's back available at their site) and I guess that's the closest I've ever come. 

expedit discontinuation = every complaint about record collecting.  got it!

I was like D:
 
 
 
And then, 'oh, then I don't give a shit'

Not necessarily a crazy price, but...

This is the second time the seller has listed a Tigers Jaw "final tour" tape "only sold on their tour." The last one sold for something like $20.
Alternately, you could buy it directly from Shout It Out Loud for $4.
 
At least the money is going toward hospital bills and to make up for the seller's cut work hours.

Actually all the prints are

This is why people are hating on you. You come off as a dick in your post. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but people were trying to help you and you gave them a scolding. Oh well, adios.

Popsike only shows listings that end above $30 so this isn't an accurate way to judge the value of a record.

^^^ this so much. His track is perfect.

How pinterest of you.

I reported a thread. One single thread. In response I was called an arrogant jerk and that I only talk trash. Then told I should leave these boards.
VC mods. Over worked since 2014.

Haha, what a joke.
 
It wouldn't make a difference though, the recordings are of such poor quality, it would sound the same if they were lossless files or sub-128 mp3s.
 
Seriously, now that the excitement in me for the new songs has died down a bit, while they are still awesome songs, I hate how bad they sound. The growing indifference about sound quality across the industry is really starting to tick me off.

From what you're saying it's quite obvious that you don't really know the difference between production value and resolution/dynamic range/compression. The terms "polished" and "over-produced" have almost nothing to do with sound quality, but rather post-processing. "Polishing" a vocal track might remove the tonal anomalies, volume imbalance, reduce noise, remove unwanted artifacts and correct the pitch, but it will not increase resolution and dynamic range. In fact, it decreases them. The more post-processing is used, the "lower quality" recording you'll receive in the end simply due to how post-processing works. So you can have good and bad sounding "polished" recordings and good and bad sounding "raw" recordings. Again, rawness and sound quality are not exclusive.
 
Granted, I only listened to my copy on vinyl and the low-bitrate download that came with it, but this release is sub-par. It's possible that the CD version will sound better, but I won't keep my hopes up. The thing is, while a low-bitrate mp3 file is very limiting, even a 128kbps version of a good recording can easily sound better than a lossless version of a bad recording.
 
Take the second song, True Trans Soul Rebel for example. The vocal track is so overcompressed, it sounds like I'm listening to it playing on my phone. Heck, it sounds like they recorded it with a phone. The drum track has so little dynamic range it's practically insulting. Now, I'd search for a fault in my system first, if such recordings weren't a common practice these days.
 
Overall, this is a great album that sounds pretty bad (far from the worst I have, but still disappointing) on vinyl, C- will strongly consider doing business with again, first have to hear the CD version if that thing is any better and they just messed up the mastering for the vinyl release.

My bad guys! Can someone link me to the forum where ppl discuss vinyl?

Blink 182 - TOYPAJ MTS Press. In lieu of vinyl I received the feeling of generosity when I made a contribution to the MTS Foundation For Vinyl Enthusiasts.

Is this where you ate?
 

Got'em. Pmd again.
