Yeah, yeah, I know; "bootlegging is immoral." But they're just so fascinating. Does anyone on here have any cool bootlegs on vinyl? I've got a few, but I'd love to see what some of you have in your collection. I don't have many, but here's what I have: Green Day - Berkley Block Buster [Purple], Green Day - Pick A Winner [Green], Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band - LIVE From The Roxy [Purple Marble] and Elektrik Haze vs Greendayz - Broken Dreamz [DJ Remix], Green Day - Radio Broadcasts Live [Green Marble] I have a handful more on CD and cassette, but these are all the vinyl bootlegs I own at the moment. Show me yours!

I'm sure some of you have already seen this, but for anyone who hasn't, in celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Century Media, "Blood" is getting a repress on gold vinyl. "Special Reissue 180g Gold Vinyl LP, Gatefold Jacket, Printed Lyric Sleeve, Mastered for Vinyl" Nothing too special, but nice for anyone who doesn't want to shell out $80 - $130 for another variant. Can be pre-ordered here.

It's still a cool idea, just extremely inactive. I still have a mixtape of some great local bands to trade to anyone who is interested. Mostly pop-punk, post-hardcore and alt. rock. Really good stuff.

25% off at Victory Merch until December 12, 2017. All orders over $50 come with a free shirt too.

I hope The Black Crown makes its way to the record stores.

Bummer. I'm sure that the few people who did manage to obtain one aren't willing to let them go either.

Any pressing info on this one? Is it a repress? The cat. number is the same as the standard black variant (not the HT red), and the record is solid red, not translucent. *"This one" meaning the ones that have been popping up on MerchNow.

I only picked one one thing up: the Paul McCarty "Christmastime" 7-inch (the red one with the Norah Jones B-side). I somehow managed to scratch up Side B before getting it out of the sleeve. Maybe it came this way. It plays, but has some noticeable pops in it. The actual title song is kind of a let down though. It's only a little over a minute long. Still a cool pickup though.

I mean, it's a good EP. It's out for a while now. I even like the idea of it being on vinyl. Will I order it? No. But if I see it make its way into the used bin at my local record store, I'll definitely pick it up. It just bothers me that there's an actually an option for getting a signed copy for $25 more than the others.

Link your Spotify playlist here. I'm interested to see what everyone's listening to. Here's mine. It's got a lot of post-hardcore, punk, metal core, alt. rock and pop-punk: https://open.spotify.com/user/myckeljay/playlist/6zey6UsVOtDYxJgbWiSJir 1.6k+ songs

I was wondering when they would press this. Also, an upcharge of $25 for Tom to stain it with a sharpie? What's up with that?

I've been holding out on getting Nothing Personal for some time now. I'm not gonna order this one, but if it makes its way to the record stores I'll definitely pick up a copy.

It was originally. It cost me like $10 shipped from the UK and it's signed. Definitely worth it. But Hopeless just threw up the leftovers on their site: http://hopelessrecords.merchnow.com/products/v2/263016/the-peace-and-the-panic-red It's a bit more expensive, and I can't promise that it's signed, but it's there if you want it.

Came here to say that too. It's about $26 shipped. Sure as hell beats $100+ from flippers.

It's that time of year again. Anchor Eighty Four is doing their 50% off sale. Starting now going until the END OF T HE YEAR

I always just reuse my mailers. Even with these pull-tab ones. I just tape it across both ways. I prefer these ones over the normal square mailers for sure.

I saw this about a week ago EDIT: I don't know why this site always decides to rotate my photos on this thread only

Haven't done Swagbucks in a long, long time. I use this App called Achievement. Once you earn 10,000 points you get PayPal'd $10. It takes a little while, but it's legit. I have it running when the app isn't open and it tracks my fitness through Apple Health and some other apps. You just earn points for doing healthy stuff. I do a lot of walking, so I rack them up quickly. Give it a try if you're active a lot. Here's a referral link if you want it: https://www.myachievement.com/refer/kLXy7Kb3KpY%3D%0A

This comes out tomorrow. Has anyone gotten a shipping notification yet?

I picked this one up at Books-A-Million today. I haven't gotten through both records yet. But does the very beginning of "Nice Guys Finish Last" sound different to y'all? It doesn't sound bad, just different than how it sounded to me growing up. Like, sort of higher pitched?

This is how I've always done it. Not changing now. Exactly. I hate that mindset. Every penny counts.

It's not even bad. I'm using my Fisher still. And why colored vinyl?

Why would I do that? Electronics get recycled. Have some respect for the environment, man.

Ya boy just bought a silver AT LP60 turntable for $3 at the thrift store. They said in powers on, but it just hums and doesn't turn. The belt slipped loose... The freaking belt, man. A one-minute fix.

Here are the two new variants. Looks like they're even hand-numbered. Buy here.
