gud

should've just filled out the survey... Thanks for the opportunity to skew the results toward "vinyl will live forever!"

wow - props to the OP who kicked the shit out of this fire ant hill that is Vinyl Collective!

Held off long enough> ordered the merge.

Nice price. Nice band. Nice post.

From your Wants List, it sounds like you only need to go to Peaches Records on N. Peters St. They're not cheap, but that's anything you buy in the French Quarter. Another good place, besides the ones listed above, is Jim Russell's Records on Magazine. It's good to dig in some crates for a few hours, so only if you have time and an expeditioners costume. Lots of old and rare records in there. Buy some Louisiana Music while you're there... Trombone Shorty, Meters, Galactic, Wild Tchoupitoulas, Dr. John, Crowbar... just to add a few not on your list. <and make sure you eat at Mother's Kitchen at least once while you are there>

i only found a mention of this inside the Black Friday RSD post so i wanted to add more information. I was looking around the nets for some offbeat xmas tunes this year and discovered this film all about collectors who search for offbeat xmas tunes all the time. How neat! Plus, it's got some interviews with some pretty interesting fellows. check it out if it's coming to your town... trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wUIIssu9_E website: http://jinglebellrocks.vhx.tv/

very cool! this soundtrack plays like a great mixtape. highly influencial.

more info please?

Just found it. Oh my brothers! Ordered the record too. Oh my other comrades! i don't check this site everyday - but this thread somehow slipped past me. Good. Shellac does not make music for everyone. I'm surprised this is on Page 2 already... This is a good day. Can't wait to get it in my hands.

Yep - and they were rolling joints on a gatefold album cover... which is what gatefolds were made for.

Hopscotch? what happened there? I heard all kinds of awful things were said on both sides of the monitors...

-IronMan 3 played a christmas record in the beginning... (now it's jumped the shark!) -Billy Bob Thorton's character in FARGO showed back up as a dentist with a very nice collection of LP's that he played at a party. did y'all mention Steve Buscemi in Ghost World? that was 2001... Seymour is trying to interest a fellow collector in a record he's selling] Paul: It has a large center hole and a hair crack. Seymour: But the crack is so tight, it's completely inaudible. Paul: But a tight hair crack is just that—a crack. I don't collect cracked records. I only pay premium on mint records. Seymour, you know that. Please. [Paul walks away. Enid, who has been listening, goes up to Seymour] Enid: So, what was all that about enlarged holes and tight cracks?

i remember the first time i heard the end of Shallow Ground and thought my walkman was eating my tape... but then: Great Purification started.

BLIND! Purple! Ordered! not a popular thing to say but i love this album the most.

That's awesome! I loved that drum track for Wrench & Numbers. What a great show> But that price on amazon? ouch.

That's so weird> yesterday, i received this very book in the mail from amazon. No clue who bought it for me either... Was it one of you?

more for the grey-beards in here to appreciate in no particular order: Footloose (from the 80's of course!) Stand By Me (everything by Quentin Tarantino) Vision Quest Dirty Dancing Beverly Hills Cop (anything conducted by John Williams) PURPLE RAIN! Once Upon A Time In The West (Ennio Morricone) Flashdance The Big Chill The Lego Movie Project X Annie Godfather 1 & 2 Cheech & Chong - Up In Smoke Saturday Night Fever Grease Against All Odds Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (RZA) Superfly (any James Bond film) Animal House The Muppets (2011) The Crow Judgement Night Natural Born Killers (trent reznor compiled) Harold & Maude (cat stevens) Caddyshack Karate Kid II and that's all that i can think of from here...( i left out my broadway musicals )

There's a lot of light behind that LP photo. Could be a very thin weight pressing.

I just discovered this band. 'Been slowly catching up. I like it so far. Ever since Breadwinner got reissued for RSD this year, i've been searching for bands like this. This sounds more like Battles though. Other bands like Lazur/Wulf and Loincloth have also fallen into my ears lately. Keep it on! Bring a tour to the States!

PM me if you want it.

Yep. I emailed Relapse and they've been extremely kind & professional about it. Said they would ship me a Remission slipmat right away and i could keep the other one. I <3 Relapse!

i see johnny cash, merle haggards, willie nelsons, queens, random 80's albums and greatest hits, is that a Violent Femmes S/T in the second pic? walt disney's Mousercise? looks like a typical bin at the second-hand book stores. as said above, maybe .50 to $1 value each if you sell em all to a store. stay strong and don't let it depress you when they say they can't take any of them. if you want more, you could sell them yourself online and sell them by artist sets. of course, to get the best value is to keep them all and listen to them. keep the ones you like and listen to them often. 2cents

Got mine over the the weekend. Came with a slipmat, but it wasn't Remission. It's Death - Leprosy cover art. Anyone else get this? I haven't opened the boxset yet, so is the Remission slipmat inside this?

Awesome- I'd like to see what the opaque white/green looks like, but clear w/ white splatter sounds cool too. Anybody going to the Hopscotch show? Should we pre-order or wait for the merch-table? I just can't wait!

Here's my advice: Go to a record show. While you're flipping through old classic rock and roll records, keep your ears open for a guy to sell one of the owners a copy of Nirvana's Incesticide for $25. Then when he leaves, ask the owner if you can buy it from him for $25. Then when you open it and realize that it's the original blue swirl, you run out of the hotel as fast as you can. That's what i did.
