Has anyone bought the movie rights for this thread yet? If not, I call dibs on making When Push Comes To Tug: The Inner Sleeve Story

It gets even cheaper if you use the 10% discount code on the homepage (take10 is the code). I just ordered one for $21.88 shipped.

He's at work.
 
Listen guys, just stay strong. I know we all know where to get these sleeves now, from our big group PM. But, stay strong and do NOT tell tug.
 
I want him to want us. I need him to need us. I'd love for him to love us.
 

Be the change you want to see in the world. Make your own perfect inner sleeve. BE your own perfect inner sleeve.

maybe just remove gender as a deciding factor for bathroom usage and have penis and vagina bathrooms instead? this would then be an non-gender issue and would work hand-in-hand with how the restrooms are designed from a functional and efficiency standpoint.

Beginner’s Guide to Hi–Fi
 
 
Created to hopefully aid anyone venturing into this stressful, beautiful hobby.
I will update this with more information whenever I have time to waste. Anyone is welcome to chime in.
 
 
 
Basic Hi-Fi Chain:
 
SOURCE -> AMPLIFICATION -> SPEAKERS
(click to jump to section)
 
The source component reads the recorded information and translates it into the signal that will be later perceived as sound. Amplification takes that signal and amplifies it (no, really?) in order to make it strong enough to move the drivers of the speaker. A speaker is a collective of drivers that are moved by the signal, producing air pressure in front of them which to us, mortal beings, means hearing sound.
 
When putting together a hi-fi setup, always keep in mind: The end result will only be as good as the weakest link. Buying an expensive turntable and a good phono preamp is useless if you're using cheap computer speakers. By no means should you decide to just get a shitty turntable then. Instead, think carefully how to ration your budget across all important components.

Yeah. This variant is /700, but the bundle was /300. I was wondering where the other 400 copies would end up. Now I know.

I understand wanting to make some $, but this whole album release has been a joke.

Shitty picture but gets the point across

should we just guess which ones you're selling?

Just got this in the mail today. Gorgeous wax, packaging leaves a bit to be desired. Thought this was gonna be a gatefold for sure

Top Shelf records are doing a 10th anniversary 10 album bundle. 10 albums and a couple of bonuses for $100 seems like a pretty good deal to me, figured some of you guys and girls might be interested as well.

Well they called it Record Day so I think I'll wait for a review on a site that doesn't think that sound quality ends with Bose.

Portugal the Man started teasing  new songs on their Instagram last night.  They've all been set to video clips from the Titanic.  Maybe that's the name of the record?

Kenneth Levinsmith Inducted Into Record Album Handling Hall of Fame
 
BY DAVID S. SPUDNICK
Associated Press
 

 
GRAND FALLS, MI -- Longtime record collector Kenneth 'White Gloves' Levinsmith was inducted into the Record Album Handling Hall Of Fame in a quiet ceremony early Saturday afternoon in downtown Grand Falls.
 
Ken is a native of Detroit but has turned a quiet retirement community in Orlando, FL into his year-round home. The proud owner of what friends describe as a "world-class polka collection", Ken says his crowing achievement was returning a vinyl record album back to its original picture sleeve a previously unheard of 4,754 consecutive times without touching the edge of the jacket. Thats a whopping 12 year, 4 month span that bests the next closest competitor by nearly a decade.
 
"When I first got into the hobby" the still youthful 'Kenney White Gloves' remarks, "I always wanted to focus on the fundamentals like my sleeve handling. None of this flashy stuff you see these DJs doing with their platters nowadays. Today, with this great honor, the fundamentals have paid off."
 
There were some heavyweights from the Record Handling world in attendance at the event, and most agree with that notion. Richie '180 Gram' Rossi - a highly regarded sleeve handler himself, and a member of RAHHOF Class of '02 - said of Ken, "You see these kids today, in their Hot Topics and Barnes and Nobles, holding their long players by the grooves, and it just chokes you up. They could learn a thing or two from Kenny. A little something called Vinyl Respect. Or Vispect, for short."
 
Adds Jimmy 'The Human Record Brush' Horton, "These kids today, with their iPods and Record Stores Days. They don't know what it was like in the days before polybags. We had to use dry cleaning bags in those days. Just think of it - dry cleaning bags! Those things sure as hell ain't acid-free!!"

For the variant hunters... another variant has been released.

"Electric Blue" Vinyl / Limited to 2,500 copies
 
"All 4 colors in the Preorder completely sold out by Tuesday morning (the Platinum package w/ Glow-In-The-Dark vinyl was gone in 15 minutes), thank you!
JUST ADDED: Transparent "Electric Blue" / first pressing: This variant wasn't planned to be part of the Preorder but will be due to overwhelming demand!" 

You people that bought this are the cancer that is killing the record "industry". You should feel bad, but if you have $35 to spend on a 7", what does it matter to you if records are becoming too overpriced?
