Yeah I could give two fucks about this coloured vinyl shit. I just want the cheapest and best sounding copy of music I enjoy. My local store had a white copy of Moon Shaped Pool for 5 dollars more than the black... exact same record. Ridiculous in my opinion.

Mockups for Ours' early albums

 

I'd spend big bucks on these, not really a fan of coloured vinyl, but I will take what I can get... Might as well press Mercy while they're at it. I'd be all over Sour too if that is even feasible.

joeybuckets, you should sell each color slice individually and make three times the profits.

Mmmmm... Collectible pizza.

Is Come Sail Away objectively the worst song ever written by a professional/ full time band?

GTFO

Purity Ring - Another Eternity

Does it bug anyone else that the soundtrack is all over the place? Would have been really cool to have kept it relevant to the year in the show. I understand why that wouldn't be beneficial to getting maximum viewers.

The Beatles - White Album

Got this stuff from a record show earlier. Someone was selling the fragile by nine inch nails for $175 and nola by Down for $80..someone bought the NIN record

Nice haul. How much you drop on that Low? Is that an OP of Redman?

Radiohead - Kid A

David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

The Beatles - Abbey Road

Jeff Buckley - Grace

Moby - Play

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik

The Tea Party - The Edges of Twilight

Outkast - Stankonia

I think it was $60ish (Listed as VG+/VG+). It came up cheaper than the other ones listed so I jumped on it. It is the version with the uncensored cover. Sounds pretty good!

Reasonable, considering the prices of some of the common reissues these days. Speaking of which pretty confident these will get released eventually. Not so confident about Ours. If it were Jimmy who owned them I bet he would, but I believe Distorted is DreamWorks.

Graduation is far and away his weakest album. It's just a basic pop rap album. Good, but not memorable. 808s will go down as a classic, it was by far the most important R&B/Hip-Hop album of the latter half of the 2000's decade.

I can see why you say that about Graduation. Has the most nostalgic for me though and Flashing Lights is still my favourite Kanye song. Can't believe people are comparing Kanye to Radiohead. I believe the previous guy meant OK Computer/Kid A btw.

Truth. Happy to eventually own this on wax but much less excited about the signature. With as fast as the first 2K sold out, no way they haven't sold 2K more. Sufjan moved 10K copies of the limited Carrie and Lowell variant in less time than this. I realize that release was cheaper but it also wasn't "signed" by a grammy-winning, platinum-selling artist with a massive audience. That being said, I can't see how it's going to actually be Kendrick's signature on all these. Hate to say it but starting to feel more like a cash grab for TDE.

I agree. The signature does not mean shit to me unless Kendrick signed it for me in person.

Ours "Distorted Lullibies" is an amazingly underrated album! I'm down for a pressing.

Also, I can't believe Achtung Baby has still only been repressed as the box set. I thought for sure it would be released as a 2xLP by now. I just ended up getting an OG copy from Discogs because this is my favorite album of all time.

Yeah, one of my favourites from the 2000s as well. Huge fan of all of Jimmy's work. I feel like I should be able to own Achtung with ease by now as well. Second favourite U2 record followed by Zooropa. How much did you pay and how does it sound, if you don't mind me asking.

The extreme tonal shift from Graduation to 808s is unlike any artist that I can think of - at least in terms of back to back albums. The extreme emotions conveyed with the unconventional production that proved to be a guidebook for a lot of music nowadays is not to be taken lightly. Seeing him sell out two back to back shows at the Hollywood Bowl last year JUST playing this album is proof.

Agree with this about 808s. Not my favourite of his albums, but it deserves respect.

Beatles - White Album - something new - help!

Rage against the machine - battle of los Angeles

Crystal castles - st

Sublime - st

The who - tommy

David Bowie - blackstar

ZZ Top - eliminator

The cars - heartbreak city

Neutral milk hotel - aeroplane over the sea

George Harrison - gone troppo, somewhere in england, dark horse, george harrison

Red hot chili peppers - stadium arcadium

Black milk and danny brown - black and brown

Led zeppelin - II

I understand that completely. I don't usually buy CDs but I love the feeling of picking something up from the store on release day, and didn't wanna wait months for that. Although I still don't wanna wait, I could put that $10 towards the LP instead since its up for PO now. When we made our earlier posts, that wasn't the case.

It's been a while now since I picked up a new release CD, partially because of my pent up anger about abandoning 150+ CDs upon moving last year. Slowly rebuilding an epic CD collection for next to nothing.

Big Kanye fan here. He had a 6 album streak thru Throne, can't deny that. (being generous on 808s) This album sucks though. Even worse than Yeezus.

Hell yes that's rad. Maybe I won't buy a CD on Friday.

I feel yah. CDs are much a thing in my world as well, love being able to get em on the cheap with everyone unloading them these days. Just can't justify buying a new CD of which I know I will later buy the vinyl.

I probably have tonnes more, but for starters; 

 

Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die (repress with all tracks)

Ours - Distorted Lullabies

Ours - Precious

Ours - Mercy (Dancing for the Death of an Imaginary Enemy)

The Tea Party - Splendor Soils (repress)

The Tea Party - Transmission

The Tea Party -The Interzone Mantras

U2 - Achtung Baby (Repress)

U2 - Zoorpa (Repress)

U2 - All That You Can't Leave Behind (Repress)

So down for more Tea Party represses. The Edges of Twilight sounds awesome, in for all of their other albums as well. (especially Splendor Soils, Transmission and Interzone Mantras... would buy Seven Circles as well for completion sake.)

Personally thought the Back to Black reissue sounded phenomenal. Down for reissues of their entire catalogue.

It will probably be about 4 months before the vinyl becomes available. It's too good. I wouldn't be able to hold out for that long.

I realize that, waited forever for To Pimp A Butterfly, but was listening to it so much in the meantime that by the time I got the vinyl I already knew it like the back of my hand. Going to enjoy this as a physical experience for the first time.

If there is a pressing on the way I'll wait for that to hear this album. Leave it to Kendrick to drop an unannounced album. (y)
