PO NOW: Bon Iver - Emma, Forever Ago (ltd reissue)
elroy replied to lethalenforcer's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Unfortunate that it's Jagjaguwar again. Great label with horrible QA/QC on their vinyl releases. Wouldn't be surprised if this is also a noisy press. -
Diskeeper 2.0 Inner Sleeves - Thoughts?
elroy replied to toomanyrecords's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Used the sleeves for hundreds of records. Got a bad batch that scratched a handful of my new albums, a few out of print Grouper albums too. Tons of hairline scratches that weren't there before. Emailed the company and they admitted there was a bad batch. Wouldn't do anything about it though. Threw all the Diskeeper 2.0 away immediately. edit - Scratches like this across both sides, on many albums: -
Yeah, I can't seem to find it anywhere. I remember it being readily available about a year or so ago.

Love Barna Howard. My 'Quite a Feelin' copy sounds fantastic. Wish I could find his s/t LP though. Also, if you're looking to pick up the Barna Howard album, it's only $12 at Little Axe/Mississippi. Shipping is around $3.50. http://www.littleaxerecords.com/distributed-titles.html

Love everything about seam splits. Mostly the people that complain and return them. I pick them up for >50% off because of a minor seam split. I have many like that. Doesn't bother me. Part of the hobby. Deal with it or gtfo.

PO now: Julianna Barwick 'Will'
elroy replied to CaptainHerbalLife's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Very cool. Was just listening to her this morning and wondering where the new album was. -
New Cambridge Audio Phono Pre(s) CP1 and 2
elroy replied to ajxd's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
Very cool. Due to this, the Azur 551/651 have been discounted. 551P for $99 is a great deal imo. http://www.needledoctor.com/Cambridge-Audio-Azur-551P-Phono-Preamp -
Nice Oh Sees print

Every album has a defect under certain lighting. If you play the record you will realize it is only cosmetic. Does not affect playback. Silly reviewer.

Is Fat Possum ever not on sale? Between sales from the label, Best Buy, and Amazon, you can guarantee they are always on sale.- 18 replies

Foals - PO Now - What Went Down (8.28.15)
elroy replied to scott_c's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Loved Antidotes Total Life Forever grew on me Holy Fire did nothing for me Still looking forward to this album. Love Foals. -
Nice. Glad I picked up a copy a few years ago when I heard they were going to be discontinued. Still, everybody should have access to owning that phenomenal album. One of my favorites.

PO: Beth Orton - Daybreaker & Comfort of Strangers
elroy replied to keithyap's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Awesome. I've been wanting to pick up Comfort of Strangers at a reasonable price for a while. Sugaring Season is one of my favorite albums. So beautiful. Love Beth. -
Loved Bad Vibes I've given Dark Red a few listens before deciding whether I should pick up the vinyl copy. It's really not doing anything for me though. Seems like he took away everything I loved from Bad Vibes and made it sound like generic electronic-based music. I really want to enjoy it. Maybe I'll give it a few more listens.

Best/Worst Customer Service from a Distro/Label?
elroy replied to silentgods's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
I've had Sacred Bones send me the wrong records. They're typically fast to respond and sorted everything out. They also covered shipping. It was a pain, but it turned out fine. I think they're only a 2 person operation, so it might be slow. -
GO HASTINGS 30% off all vinyl...
elroy replied to vinyl addict's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Received a record today in a mailer. Great condition. I have never had a problem with Hastings and have ordered several dozen records from them. No complaints here. -
Hail to the Theif Captiol vs. Parlaphone
elroy replied to downisthenewup87's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Looks like most Radiohead albums on B&N are labeled Parlophone. That would be awesome if true. Let us know what you receive. -
GO HASTINGS 30% off all vinyl...
elroy replied to vinyl addict's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Hastings has sales all the time. They have relatively low prices and cheap shipping costs. Most likely they were inundated with orders due to an error on their part with the sale honoring more than one item. You should be happy they are not canceling orders. Settle down. -
Wish I wasn't broke. I'll just wait for black. Awesome news though. Love Mikal Cronin.

Record Store Day 2015 (4/18/15)
elroy replied to Family Friendly Rap God's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
The soundtrack hype is hilarious. Never understood it. I like the songs in a movie because of how well they are placed within. If I want a mix I will make it. I think it's the top contender for dollar bins in the future alongside Grease, The Big Chill, and Animal House. -
PO Soon: Grouper - Ruins October 31
elroy replied to rooks's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Julie Byrne - Rooms With Walls and Windows. More of an acoustic album, but I think you will like it. One of my favorites of 2014. Check out the songs 'Emeralds' 'Young Wife' and 'Holiday'. Beautiful music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WKEQvbhHY0 -
Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue (Repress)?
elroy replied to bobbydrake33's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Agreed. It really is a phenomenal album. I'd check that out first. Acid Tongue took me a while to really get into. Some of the songs are hit or miss for me. 'Trying My Best to Love You' and 'Sing a Song for Them' are some of my favorites.
