You're gonna break my bank here, 9 5 6.

Looks suspiciously like just a waffle with a hole in it...I'll give you the benefit of the doubt though. It does look good. I had no idea today was donut day. I'll have to run out after work and grab some goodies! Thanks for the heads up

If you can't see the scratch, but your record is popping or skipping, it may just need a good cleaning. Check out the cleaning thread; I don't remember if it's in this sub-board or over in the turntable one. Just a dry clean will not remove the debris that causes a skip like this. I understand that it is a new record and people expect them to play perfectly, but often there is residue from the pressing plant that can get packed into the grooves, so small you may not see it. It's sounding like that may in fact be your problem.

Thank you.

I'm sorry dude, I was scrolling and my finger slipped or something weird and I downvoted you.

No prob, good luck!

The Oregon thing is weird. Everyone I've met here makes sure people know to say it with a "gun" sound at the end instead of "gone"

If that stupid asshole messed up your sale on DFA 1979, let me know what you were trying to get for it. I may take it off your hands if the price is right.

Just a heads up, I believe it was also just repressed on colored or is getting that treatment very soon. Might just be that you want an OP though, not just a colored variant in general. Just lookin out.

Sometimes homeboy just has it out for you. I had a job at a coffeeshop like that once. People would piss around all day, he himself would just pop in occasionally and sit around chatting with regulars (that part I didn't mind, that's what you have to do as an owner/manager.) but he never said anything to them. But shit, if he didn't end up firing me for not sweeping the leaves around the door enough. It's like...it's fall in upstate New York, brother. There're gonna be leaves not matter how much I sweep. My direct supervisor quit in protest a week later and hired me at another place.

That's a solid album, and probably the only Nirvana record I could see myself paying more than $15 for. Good pickup!

Agreed. Also, every time I see this thread I read it as porno music.

I'm not saying the to be a jerk, honest. If everyone is so worried about getting a copy of a specific album and it is available online, why don't you guys order it and have it shipped to store. That's free shipping. You even still get (have) to go to Hot Topic if that's your thing. Or, call your local store, and ask them if they've ordered it. Unless they're swamped, they will check and tell you. Truly. They know what stock is supposed to be coming in.

Yeah, I have MBDTF and 808's and I agree with the assessment of those. I'd just heard bad stuff about the other two, so I passed on them. I keep thinking about picking up the Watch the Throne boot, wanna order some other stuff when I do to make it worth it though. Maybe The Weeknd - House of Balloons and Frank Ocean - Channel Orange

Yeah, it's the only Blink album I actually reeeeally enjoy listening to. Soooo nostalgic. I bought EOTS too, but that was a pure nostalgia purchase. I don't see myself listening to it too often. Dude Ranch though...that'll see some spins on my turntable. I'm like that with pop-punk stuff though, I usually like 2 or 3 albums by a band and then fall off. Alk3 I can go up through Good Mourning, but have issues with that one, Saves the Day up through Stay What You Are. Mostly...if it came out while I was in HS I probably can still listen to it, but if it came out after I'm not as into it. Blink is weird for me though. Those two that I like came out before I was in HS I'm pretty sure, but I'm not super keen on the earlier stuff.

Yeah, I had heard the first...3 Kanye albums on vinyl sound AWFUL. I think 2nd Ave records has them for $8 apiece...new.

I could see a younger me doing something like that and then when I got in trouble for it being like..."Ohhhhhhh. yeah I totally get that. Sorry, dudes. I didn't even think anyone would question it." You never know though, maybe this person was just being an ass and wanted to scare everyone.

Weird. I called the day before Dude Ranch came in at a local store and they asked if I wanted a call if it came in. I said yes and they called me the next day. Really nice gal. I think it all depends on who is working/when you get put on "the list." You might have been put on it too far in advance and they forgot about you. Or they were just blowing smoke up your ass to begin with.

I could see it, going out to play pellet war or something stupid, they just weren't thinking I bet because they knew it was a pellet gun and didn't think it would look like anything different to someone else.

Was the other half $20 too? Cuz....that would have been a steal to just grab both. (had you known they were only half records.)

Yeah, I could see doing something like that. Or if your side c/d gets a bad scratch, but your a/b is in good shape and you find a good deal on the half you need.

^This is exactly what you should do.
