I got the email. I'm not that worried.

Relax.

I'm just going to print this picture and glue it to all of my Sonic Youth records. 

Kendrick is a busy man... He can't be signing thousands of L shaped autographs.

I own 4.  2 of them sound fabulous (Menomena, Weezer); one is solid and a huge improvement on the standard pressing (Fugees).  The only one I wouldn't recommend (Perfume Genius) sounds amazing when quiet but has spouts of noisiness.  Then again, it was pressed on white vinyl and I picked it up used at Amoeba...  

Sold. I'm signing up. Thanks.

are you asking in general? or about a specific release?

In general, but if there is a specific album that sucks, that'd be good to know.

All the VMP reissues look fancy, but how do they sound? I'm interested in a few, and I might pick up a 3 month membership. 

A quick search on eBay shows Karma Police, There There, Nude, Paranoid Android, and others for $30 or less. 

I don't need Burn the Witch for eight grand. 

J Dilla - Jay Loves Japan

Solid album start to finish that's woven its way into my head. My two year old dances as soon as put it on.

Is there a "vinyl played today" thread here somewhere?

 

I've been looking but haven't found anything yet...

This thread should do it:

Ah crap, Letang is knocked out....   aaaannnnndddd he's back.

My mom just sent me this for my birthday. Great album. Decent reissue. 

If you buy some decent quality inner sleeves, it's really not too hard to slip the record back into the sleeve. 

Get some inner sleeves, enjoy the eight thousand ridiculous responses to your post, and relax. It'll all be ok. 

Try these:

^^ nice second system made up of some of your 'spare' bits This is mine, I mainly play vinyl into active ADAM speakers.

 

 

 

EXTERMINATE!

So what's the best guess for the vinyl release?

A rice noodle sleeve with pop rock laden booklet featuring exclusive photos of the band members pinky toes? For only $63.

Realistically, fuck this.

I am a huge fan of Sublime and I couldnt wait to get my hands on this, but come on guys - this is just taking the piss?

I can get all 6 LPs (3 x 180g's + 3 x newly released) for $172 through SRC (15% off coupon)

So they wanna charge me an additional $177 for extended Jah, slipmat (I could get printed for less than $10) and a couple prints in a (printed) cardboard box?

Just gutted aye...

 

Perfectly said. 

So if you're a huge Sublime fan and bought the 1LP pressing of JWPTB on RSD, you can now purchase this box set and get the 2LP version! Awesome! 

(ugh)

As if $35 original price wasn't steep enough, you can now proudly purchase one of these LE picture discs for about $95 on ebay. LOL.

Only if they wear this for the rest of the year:

 

Mmmm..... fish sticks.

Deerhunter at Mr. Smalls in Pittsburgh this past Thursday night. Pretty solid set of newer stuff with a few older songs mixed in.

Bradford was doing a crippled James Brown persona that was odd, but clearly his thing for this tour/record. He had a cane, and he wore a jacket over his shoulders that he'd occasionally shrug off. The lead guitarist looked sedated, but sounded good. He could liven up a little. 

The new stuff was fun, but when they played two older songs for the encore, I was left thinking, "I wish the whole show was like this." 

A friend sent me the link to the beginner setup thread and told me, "Go on this website and read this thread before you post anything."

Something I'd suggest if you're new to vinyl and playing a lot of old records, is that you shouldn't underestimate the value of cleaning the records prior to playing them. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to get a fancy vacuum machine, but a discwasher brush and cleaning fluid or a good brush make more of a difference for the sound quality of the records than the very minor differences between the various amps and speakers in the entry-level price range...  most of all, have fun!

Couldn't agree more. I wish someone would have told me this years ago. 

Try rubber cement. Dries smooth and holds well. You can usually find it at craft stores.

Also, phenomenal user name. Go Pens!
