    Looking to buy some plastic outer sleeves for my records and I kind of need pointers.

    Are there any brands I should avoid or try to get? Any cheap places I can get them? What thickness is recommended? Any advice you have would be helpful. Thanks!

    I really like the "Blake Bags". They are a super tight fit so I have a pack of both sizes. When looking at the spine the bag basically disappears.

  2. Haven't bought any records in months and sort of blew out Saturday.

     

    picked up:

    Christian Death "...Only Theater of Pain"

    The Cramps "Psychedelic Jungle"

    Dead Kennedys "Rotting Vegetables" 

    Elvis Costello "My aim is True" (U.K. White label)

    Jimi  Hendrix "Are You Experienced"

    Lee "Scratch" Perry "Return Of Wax"

    Samhain "Initium"

  3. Agreed. Lots of good stuff on the Wax Trax site still. I'm not sure what her plans are for the label but I'd personally love to see them do some reissues. 

    I agree with you regarding sorely needed releases on wax. So many bands had really good albums I'd kill to have on vinyl (diatribe, Swamp Terrorists, Auschwitz46 (before becoming Terminal 46), Hate Dept, Contagion PCB, Christ Analog, Penal Colony, I could go on and on). 

    As for 242, their early stuff is amazing and I've been slowly getting as much as I can (wax). My favorite "piss off the neighbors" record is Tyranny For You (followed by Only Theater of Pain by Christian Death). It sounds better than most new industrial today.

    In 2004, I had a chance to open for Haujobb. They had some visa issue and that was that. They are pretty great though.

  4. Better Homes was my intro. This was around the time Solutions was coming out. I'm a longtime fan as well.

     

    Stotming the Base also has vinyl issues from Noise Unit and FLA, if you were a fan of the remix wars series they have those too.

     

    The Haujobb releases are limited to 500 each (300 black and 200 color) so I'd imagine these will sell through quickly. I placed my order a few days ago and am told that the batches are back from the presser and headed to Canada for NA distribution. Mine are expected to shop early October.

  5. My daughter and I LOVE Halloween. Every year in early October we hit the craft stores for paints and stuff for our annual Halloween craft night.

     

    On Halloween craft night we carve our pumpkins, decorate our little apartment, make and eat treats (baked pumpkin seeds, Carmel apples, etc) and do arts and crafts all while listening to Halloween music.

     

    For this year I want to add to my small collection of Halloween records. I've got a sound effects record and the Monster Mash album (forgot the name). What else should I get? I'll start my discogs searches early.

     

    thanks!
