  1. A couple of LPs have that but it's rare. It must only work with manual turntables. Automatics will return before you can get to the label and you might break it try to do it. And say... is that a normal paper label or like a picture disc? If it's paper, I have no idea how they did it. It must be bad for the needle if it's paper.
  2. Thanks for the info but I have something else on that day. Maybe next time, keep me posted.
  3. May I suggest you visit http://www.aslanstore.com/ I used their velvet pad and cleaning lotion for a BIG bunch of old and dirty records and it made them so much better for $13PPD. Some came out like new after the cleaning. Now I just need to find a record cover cleaner
  4. They also screwed a couple of orders of mine and shipping price to Canada is high compared to other distros. Now I avoid Interpunk if I can.
  5. I have a lot of 45rpm as well as 33rpm records and a salesman once showed me a Pro-Ject (or was it a Rega?) turntable. It looked like I was going to get it at first but I turned away when he showed I had to lift the plater and change the belt on another gear to go from 33 to 45 rpm. I figured this would annoy me way too much.
  6. That's the TT I have and it's fully automatic (Play/Stop buttons). A great piece that should last for years. Many reviewers from other sites said you should upgrade the cartridge but the one provided with it is very good in my opinion. I often fall asleep while listening to music so the fact that the tonearm gets back in place at the end of the record is very usefull. It also has an integrated pre-amplifier that can be turned on or off so you can hook it up to pretty much any audio input (computer, living room stereo, etc...) and with the touch of a button you can go from 33rpm to 45rpm and set the tone arm to play 12" to 7" records. It's also shinny and classy. My next step is to upgrade my speakers and maybe so should you in a couple of months or years.
  7. Rush - Time Machine That's their upcoming album wich should come out around this summer. I hope it gets pressed on 180g.
  8. wrong. the watchmen single was a hot topic exclusive. the band sells it through their website because it's their own music. kind of like how new found glory was selling the hot topic color of one of their 7" in their web store. and expensive? just borrow mommy or daddys credit card and buy whatever your missing from you my shitty romance collection. Dude! So what if he likes that band and you don't?? Leave him alone and do like your username.
  9. This is the best thread on this forum! BEASTIE BOYS - PAUL'S BOUTIQUE is great!
  10. Congratulation! I hope you'll get at least $100 from the box set.
  11. I got the 7" box from sleevetown. It's quite alright for 6,99$ even if it got called "the ugly white box" earlier. Make a good use of all those ugly stickers you got with your LP orders and cover it.
  12. You should check http://lpcoverlover.com/. There is a section like that. EDIT : They are not nude, just hot. The Operation Ivy - The Rare Shit LP has most EPs on it.
  13. Bad Religion - early albums NOFX - early albums but not the first one Misfits - early 70s stuff Operation Ivy - Energy Buzzcocks - Singles going steady Ramones - early albums Descendents - Milo Goes to College Clash - early albums Sex Pistols - Never mind the bollocks Motorhead albums but they are also very metal Rancid - Let's Go & Out Comes The Wolves It looks a lot like the other's lists but they ARE classics and you can't go wrong there!
  14. As I've never been to a convention of this kind, I would like to know if it's normal to come in with rare records in a bag in the hope of making deals or trades with other sealers/visitors? Or are people normally coming in with nothing in hand? I would not like looking like a clueless dick.
  15. They re-released that album like 2 years ago with a new mastering. I think it was for the 30th anniversary. I got both the CD/DVD and Vinyl (black color) and they sound good. I also think they re-released it in both gatefold and standard sleeves. Those you've seen might be boots. If they're not, they certainly didn't make a decent promo for Clash fans. Have you seen the EPIC logo in the back or any other label?
  16. I order a lot from FAT WRECK and everything is great. One time my payment went trough but the order didn't process (I didn't receive a confirmation email) but Pat at FAT resolved the problem right away. By the way, I don't know if you're talking about the condition of the records or the music itself. If it's about the music, don't buy it if you don't like it. So, my final answer is that the records are not lame, your question is.
  17. I've never been to show like that so I'll be there for the experience.
