  1. Yeah anybody who was planning on using Palamino Records Pressing out of Louisville KY this summer, make other plans.

    They just suspended taking new orders til Fall. They are getting so much business they just can't handle anymore til then. Good for them.

    I've always had good results from Palamino, nice people and good prices. . Nice to hear they are having a lot of success though.

  2. Can't remember my first record b/c I was only a few years old, but I know that I used to go to sleep every night when I was 5 with my fisher-price record player playing the return of the jedi storybook picture disc.

    For me it was Empire Strikes Back, but yeah good times!

  3. I'm old enough that vinyl was still going when I was a kid. I always had a record player and lots of kid's records like Star Wars, Spider-Man, etc...the story telling types.

    The 1st music record I remember owning was the Another One Bites the Dust single from Queen...I have no idea how or why I had this record.

    In my teenage years I mainly had cassettes and CDs, they were just easier to get at the time.

    Messed around a bit with records on and off in my 20s, but had a lot of other stuff going on.

    5 years back in my early 30s I got the record bug again, mainly thru playing music and wanting to release stuff that way. Started trading with people and buying a lot again. Having a lot of fun with it, and since I have no real interested in downloads/Ipoops, etc... records are the way to go for me.

    Helluva lot more fun to play and collect too.

  4. These look nice, but it seems silly to me to have a box that only holds 4-8 records. You could buy an expedit for the same price (or less).

    Yeah but I see it more as a custom special kinda thing you'd want for a very small collection of special records that have some sort of connection to each other. It's more of a show piece.

    They really do look amazing.

  5. Sorry if this has already been covered, but the thread is fairly long..

    I'm looking for a decent portable suitcase record player, just something small.

    I'm wondering if those Crosley's with the front mounted speakers are any good because I'm really leaning towards picking one up. The CR-40 is the one I'm talking about.

    Any info would be appreciated. Specifically, I don't need it to rattle the windows, but can it get a decent volume going? And does it have an automatic cut-off when it gets near the center? I've got 5"s I want to play and I hate those.

  6. From Dirty Ugly Records, we have the One Man Bands, Hillbillys and Monsters.

    The title says it all. We got 10 garage rock, punk, lo-fi, surf, rockabilly and one man bands on this slab o wax. They come from all over the world (USA, Sweden, Canada, UK, and France) but they all share a love of garbage, monsters and rock n roll!

    You can buy it here:

  7. Shamrocks, as far as incentive to press 100 goes..

    Some people are trying to create a collector's item they can cash in on.

    Other people can only afford to press 100. Or maybe they are just doing it for their own enjoyment. Believe me, there are a lot of people putting out records who are taking a loss and don't give a shit about profit, or are struggling to break even. I have pressed 100 or less many times because it was what I was able to afford or the amount I though I could sell.

    On why they cost they do, well again some people involved in more popular bands/labels are price gouging and others might have more complex packaging, special colors or etching, etc...you can usually tell what the deal is. Whether you still want to buy or care as to the reasons is up to you. Most people charge reasonable prices, those who don't are the exception not the rule.
