At Target copping 50$ Taylor Swift records, I guess.

Does anyone still have a complete Converge collection out there?  Surely someone.  There was a time when I had every variant of Axe To Fall, but gave up and backed out of variant hoarding by the time the 3rd press or so was rolled out.  More power to anyone still staying diligent though.  I don't partake, but I enjoy seeing an array of options made available for new fans or anyone who slept on the record.  I'd have to imagine an 11-variant rollout for something like Jane Doe – which has become the in-demand Converge album, yet again – would break banks and cause a lot of scuttling.

Call to arms for the Touché Amore guy.

Bumping a thread after two years with the sole purpose of advertising yourself is one way to make sure that I'll for the life of me never spend a dime in your shop. So thanks, I guess..

How does the OG LP sound, pressing quality wise?

Very, very good.

Finally got mine today.  Tempted to keep it sealed and sell it.  Just bought a new car and wanna swap out the stock stereo for a new apple car play unit

Which is the exact scenario Ian Mackaye had in mind when he started Dischord Records forty years ago. 
 

Mine arrived unscathed across the world last weekend and I listened to the first three singles (or four minutes, approx.) of the set. Not a huge fan of the Teen Idles release, but god damn S.O.A. are so good and the first Minor Threat 7“ is just insane. Truly the greatest and defining moment in Punk Rock history for me. 

That write-up is born out of an emotional sensation opposite of FOMO, called FOGITTFTISMHEMOAPOBF*

*fear of giving in to the fact that i spent my hard earned money on a pile of bullshitty fuckfarts

Took the test, felt ill prepared tbh..

Cute but no. I'm tired of these excessive packages. I just want to play the album on my turntable and NOT spend $200 per record to do it.

There’s no shortage of better music with way more reasonable price tags out there. Just, you know, skip this record or fuck this band or whatever, really..

All my 7” because I hate flipping records and  my 45 rpm records because I’m lazy and hate taking the platter off of my rega to adjust the speed belt 

Come on man. Just buy an extra turntable and set the speed to 45, DONE.

Actually, jokes aside, there was this dude in a Facebook group for Boris who was gloating about keeping his latest purchases not only sealed, but contained within their mailers.  

What a narc. My collection is so mint, I rarely even pick my records up from the post office.

sold everything i had like a month ago. hadnt bought a record in like a yr or two. it was time to move on

Yet here you are, posting on a forum

called Vinyl Collective.  👀

I bought indie exclusives of OK and AMSP and while considering the box sets, I was glad I did both times after checking out the sets a friend had bought. They are certainly nice to look at, but I felt like I was done with the extras after briefly browsing through them once. 

So yeah, I preordered the red 3LP and bet it ends up real nice.

You can still get the VMP version for just slightly over what they sold it for originally on discogs

+ someone put theirs up on Reddit earlier today for $55 shipped, which is a bit cheaper than the cheapest on discogs.

Thank you both, but with nowadays insane overseas shipping prices VMP – or buying from  the states in general – is just not an option for me.

Yeah, changing the iconic cover art is a dealbreaker for me. With VMP not being a option, here’s hoping a solid repress is somewhere on the horizon. 

As long as I’m willing and able to spare the time and cash to explore new (to me) genres and artists, I’m game. With a toddler things might slow down for a while now, but there’s still no such thing as a finished collection for me. 

Got this today. The record has a nice milky see through thing going which is way cooler than an opaque silver. Hopefully I’ll find some time to listen later. 

Got back into it during home office and had the exact same issue today. I entered the same code about a dozen times to no avail and poof it worked. Hope it’s working out for you, there’s a new Zen-inspired event starting today. 

Solid first single, wish they would’ve kept it clean all the way. Getting serious Sagarmatha-era Appleseed Cast vibes during the quieter middle part. The intricate drums, playful bass line and shimmering guitar arpeggios hit all the right spots for me. 

Yeah OCHL was awesome. I wouldn’t be surprised (and also wouldn’t mind) if they strayed away from their BM leanings even further. The least impressive part of the last record were Clarke’s vocals and I can see them seriously holding back the band from exploring new territories. I’d love to be wrong though.

I know my cartridge is a weak spot, gonna try to replace it with a better one since forever. But there are always new records to buy. 🤪

Thanks! Do you think they’re all equally good? Or just okay? I bought the new deluxe and think it’s fantastic. Only have the 2007 Plain to compare though and the new master is an easy winner, of course.  

@Just Us What’s your setup?

Cool, ordered.

Just saw the announcement on FB. I’m a bit behind. LOL at those prices. Wouldn’t expect anything else from this band though.

 

Remember when they were against people buying those MOV pressings a few years back and said they were doing their own thing? They wanted you all to wait and spend $60+ per album. And what’s funny is that silver MOV pressing of Deloused is probably a way better product then what they just put up.

Sure, the prices are way out there. BUT: I have the MOV and the box and oh boy the remaster shits all over the oversized CD MOV put out.  

@Derek 

Should we go ahead an calm this place down once more?

$35 was astronomical when that came out though. 2xLPs were $14-19 in 2005.

Yup. I vividly remember passing on it for 35€. I also no longer trust myself in any half-important issues since I  passed on it when it was on clearance for 15€ two years later, though.
