Bought an OG copy for my sister with my half price books 1/2 off coupon one year. I'd never heard the album I just knew she liked them. Got it home, cleaned it, and gave it a spin, immediately started thinking about what else I could give her instead lol. So amped to be getting my own copy finally.

The Official 'Vinyl Me, Please' thread.
bootbox replied to Deoxitizer's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
If anyone has a copy of Blossom Dearie for sale, warped or otherwise, shoot me a PM. I had to sell my original copy a few years back when money was tight and I'd love to be able to spin it again. -
These just went on sale officially last night on Juno. I ordered Gran Turismo, Super Extra Gravity, and Long Gone Before Daylight for $82 shipped to the US. By far the cheapest option right now. As far as shipping box worries, the last few orders I got from Juno with more than one record (I tend to buy in bulk from them) came in sturdy LP mailers.

Why can't I level this tonearm?!
bootbox replied to killyridols's topic in Turntables & Other Audio Equipment
The tonearm is supposed to be level when you're playing a record. It seems like you're saying that is possible, so you're good to go. -
Discogs commenters reporting that Heligoland is starting to show up. One guy says the quality is top notch. Anyone here get theirs yet?

Just got my copy of Ott - Skylon from his bandcamp merch page (very glad to see it there after I realized I missed out on the kickstarter). It sounds incredible, one of the best pressings I've ever heard hands down. I'm so amped.

Do you have a vinyl only instagram?
bootbox replied to wbhendrix's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Why do you post here? The exact same reasons apply to Instagram. -

I preordered both of these and got an email that Heligoland isn't available. Looks like 100th Window is still scheduled for Feb 16. I'm starting to wonder if Heligoland is ever going to happen.

PO: The War On Drugs - A Deeper Understanding
bootbox replied to patreeeek's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Amazon release day delivery failed me yet again. They haven't delivered a single album to me on release day all year. It's not like I'm in some remote bumfuck town either. Fucking sucks, I was really looking forward to spinning this one this weekend. -

I wished they shipped Media Mail instead of FedEX sure post. Sure post is slow as fuck. They route all my shit through Dallas, then Houston, then back to Austin. It's terrible. Media Mail is super fast and reliable. They must be getting a super deal on the FedEX slow boat. -
This version is much nicer IMO https://www.discogs.com/The-Cinematic-Orchestra-Ma-Fleur/release/4726464 Managed to get copies of The Claypool Lennon Delerium 10", The War On Drugs 12", and O+S - You Were Once the Sun, Now You're the Moon for retail eventually today. Just sat on eBay with three tabs open with the searches set to US only, Buy it Now, Vinyl category, and the sort by 'Newest First'. After refreshing each of them for a half hour or so every minute or two I eventually found record stores listing their stock at retail. The only thing I have left on my wantlist is the red Hooverphonic - Jackie Cane but I'm not sure I need it. I have OG copies of all their releases I imported from overseas, they sound great, and I didn't pick up the green splatter release last year so I might just not bother with this year's.

The Official 'Vinyl Me, Please' thread.
bootbox replied to Deoxitizer's topic in Vinyl Collective Message Board
Yeah, I've actually got skips in 'All Alone' and 'Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head'. I can see what look like flaws in the grooves in both places that skip. Damaged/dirty stampers maybe? That would mean an entire batch is affected, which judging by the comments on Discogs, might be the case. Seems to be lots of repeating skips in All Alone from what I'm reading. For what it's worth, I cleaned both discs before playing them on my Music Hall RCM and my turntable is a custom heavy platter idler drive w/an SME 3009 SIII tonearm and an Audio-Technica AT160ML cart. First time I've ever heard a skip on this setup. -

Was just about to post that I can't get over how good DD sounds, then the skip showed up in All Alone. Kinda sucks. I wonder how replacements will work, I'd hate to get an inferior disc 1 if they make us send back both discs.
