Anyone ever try to push for a partial refund from goHastings and have some tips? Received a record that from a sleeve point of view they never should have shipped. Lots of shelf wear. Probably wasn't damaged enroute to me. Amazon is great to deal with, but I tried once in the past with a similar issue with goHastings and got no where.

Picked up Pixies Trompe Le Monde for 12 shipped.

Some probably don't, but I like hearing what you are picking up at the Hastings sale. It helps to jog my memory what I want (or curse you that you tempted me to buy more than I can). Picked up The Clash Hits Back for 21. Just because.

Thank you! They had Joe Strummer's Global A Go Go on sale already, and with the coupon it was only 12 bucks. Picked up Gaslight Anthem's Get Hurt for 10.

This guy is awesome. Quick shipping, flawless records. If you see anything on his list you like don't hesitate.

Title says it all.

I'm sorry I'm dense. Was the orange splatter pressed at all?

Not Bleed, but in June I ordered Chase This Light from Amazon, then it was promptly back ordered. I just got the shipping notification today.

Anyone have a copy of a Self Medication on vinyl they want to part with?

Listed a nice copy of Black Sabbath's self titled original press still in shrink wrap : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Sabbath-LP-Self-Titled-Record-WS-1871-VG-IN-SHRINK-WRAP-/252238294529?hash=item3aba92ee01:g:0AYAAOSwa-dWiyPD

It is Plain. Do they do bad pressings?

There is a limited color repress of Maniacal Laughter. 100 Doublemint Vinyl w/ Purple Haze 150 Doublemint Vinyl w/ Yellow & Purple Splatter 250 Doublemint Vinyl http://www.coldcutsmerch.com/collections/chunksaahrecords/products/the-bouncing-souls-manical-laughter-cd-lp

I have a 20% of Hastings "exclusive" vinyl code. Expires on the 31st. Enjoy. EXVIN4LWKR

Grouplove Spreading Rumors for me Maroon 5 V for the wife. $27 with shipping. Two records I've been eyeing but waiting for a decent price. Thanx!

I'm a fan of powered speakers. I don't listen to CDs anymore, or the radio. I just listen to vinyl in my living room. Receiver would be overkill for me, and take up space. For good budget speakers, check Micca PB42x. They are listed on amazon for 120 now...I've seen the price drop to 100 buck 120 is still a good deal. In some respects, it's kind of a pain to have the volume button on the back. But for now, it's ok...I was on a budget too.

For US buyers, what international online stores do you use to pick up Music On Vinyl releases?

I used this from Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LP4RMG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 BOSS Audio B25N Ground Loop Isolator Noise Filter I have a turntable (Uturn) with a pre-amp (Pluto) and powered speakers (MICCA PB42X). In my various tests to isolate the problem, it was when the the RCA jacks in the speakers were used. The hum had nothing to do with my components because I also tried an old Pioneer turntable with a built in pre-amp and still had the hum. A few months ago I assumed b/c of this it was a problem with the speakers so I went through a rather painful process to return the speakers and get a replacement. No difference. This filter was exactly what I needed. I placed it between the pre-amp and the speakers and the hum was greatly reduced. I also haven't noticed any affect on the output either. My records still sound crisp. Best 7 bucks I spent.

Thanks for this suggestion. That worked perfectly.

Looking for the large box set.

Wow. Memories. Been on a record binge...need to stop. But maybe just one more...

I know that dimmer switches can create speaker hum. My house is full of them. I was curious if anyone has experience or knowledge about if it would make a difference if I replaced the dimmers with new dimmers. Obviously the ideal solution would be to get rid of all dimmers, but it's not possible (wife *ahem*). The dimmers are pretty old. I haven't seen any articles online about if there are "good" dimmers and "bad" dimmers.

Question for those who got the Last Waltz. Is it numbered? The RSD pressing was limited to 5K. It's missing the press number so it is just stamped " / 5000" on the back.

I'm ridiculously excited about the Last Waltz coming. Seems like it was shipped by the pony express. I see it inching across the country.

What was canceled?

If anyone wants to sell / trade the Springsteen set PM me. I have Physical Grafitti Deluxe that I can send along with some cash.
