So I've seen "VNYL" around on Facebook ads or whatever, never paid much attention to it till tonight when I discovered this thread. All I can say is...
What a wild ride!
From the Kickstarter backers paying $24 for dollar store records, to Nick Alt clearly using his 36K to launch his now-dead store. Oh and when the backers couldn't return their records because VNYL realized that was illegal, incredible! Then the pivot to new records you could just order yourself off Amazon for less money. Now with the Crosly-owning, groove-touching, teenage YouTubers  (who are either clearly being paid and not disclosing it or trying real hard to get free records) crying over a Mumford and Sons album they just OMG LOVE SO MUCH (yet never bought).
It's 2am I made it half way through this thread (after starting with some of the later pages) but to top it all off, I only just had the realization that this is the same company that's launching the wireless turntable.  This is the thread that keeps on giving. Thank you all!

The Journey On boxset was a good step, but that was awhile ago now. Mi Sei Apparso Come Un Fantasma is one of Molina's best albums IMHO, it's a pity it's not more widely available. Impala too has been out of print for ages.

Yeah, I mean, I really do appreciate the effort by SC to get previously-unreleased material out there via demos, alternate takes, and so-ons when it comes to the reissues. But there are a few glaring holes in basically everyone's collection that are aching to be filled--it's the 10th anniversary of Sojourner this year, and I'd rather not wait until the 15th for a solid 5-LP-or-so vinyl edition (don't even need bonus tracks for that one). A US issue of  Mi Sei Apparso Come Un Fantasma would also be most welcome.

My wife and I's record collection: 


I got a bit of space to grow, but I'm in that awkward period where I don't have enough records to fill out another cube... guess that means I need to buy a bunch more records?? 

I'm in the same boat. That Wilco boxset killed any desire to track down their singles.
 
I really would love Harvest Moon, Ragged Glory, and Broken Arrow. Hopefully prices on those come down soon or they get repressed.

Nice Wilco and Neil Young collections

I think there's a chance he's a weirdo who gets off on stringing people along and the angry e-mails he gets after each missed deadline.

Here's my Wilco collection. It's all eight studio albums (AM, Being There, Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born, Sky Blue Sky Wilco The Album, The Whole Love), the three Mermaid Avenue albums, the Speak Into Roses 10", the Alpha Mike Foxtrot b-sides/rarities collection, and the Kicking Television live album boxset.
