HOLY SHIT! THE SLEEPING!!! Sorry about that, but I am legitimately that excited for Questions & Answers.

Just took an up to date photo of my Silverstein collection.
 

Someone dropped out of business school to start a band.

Not the best, but a man can still dream. I actually managed to make a decent-looking splatter on my own. Don't mind the shitty labels lol.
 
From left to right:
 
"Hyrule Gods:" Gold with white splatter
"Epona:" Brown and black mix
"Hyrule Field:" Tan and green mix
 

 
Working on some Majora's mask now.

And your name is SuperBuckeye.
Fuck Buckeye fans.

Turntable, records and speakers:Record overflow:

Well it looks like Capital Punishment by Big Pun has been reissued. (wasn't worth it's own topic since it came out last week)
 
But I would like Compton's Most Wanted - Music to DriveBy

My band, Spirits ( http://www.spiritsxxx.bandcamp.com ) released our debut LP back in May and I've been meaning to post a collection of pics showing off the packaging we designed to go with the record.  If you've got a second to scroll please give it a look as we're pretty happy with how everything turned out!
 

 
This is how the LP looks when you first see it/pick it up. In the poly bag its actually kind of difficult to tell that it has a vertical wrap and just looks like a standard white cover with the pencil drawing and the bands name on it.
 

 
As you slide the vertical wrap off of the LP it reveals the record's title: Discontent. Also the next layer below the skin from our sad looking gal on the front cover.
 

 
Next you pull the LP jacket apart diagonally to reveal below the muscle layer... the skull. It is a printed dust-sleeve that houses the actual LP. We really wanted to make something with multiple layers in the artwork and are super happy with how this turned out.  I don't know if I've ever seen packaging with this cut in it. We printed the jackets through Imprint and they were super cool with helping us figure out how to make this cut and with adding the extra tab on the traditional jacket so that all 4 sides of it would be sealed until the cut was made.
 

 
When you flip over the dust jacket it reveals a wall of lyrics and the credits for the album.
 

 
This is the back of the LP jacket that pulls apart diagonally. Song titles that are not visible when the wrap is fully on the LP.
 

 
The two main variants of vinyl are clear with black smoke and clear with red smoke. They turned out really cool and each one is pretty unique. The red LP in the top corner of this picture is the only copy that ended up being a pretty solid clear red throughout so naturally I had to hold onto it.
 

 
This gives a pretty good representation of the variation of the clear vinyl with color smoke added in. Bonus fact... the center labels are 3 dimensional if you look at them with 3D glasses. If you'd like to pick up a copy we have them in our limited run store here: http://www.spiritsxxx.limitedrun.com
 
and you can also download the record for free here: http://www.spiritsxxx.bandcamp.com

And last but not least, you can follow us on social media as "spiritsxboston" on instagram, tumblr, twitter, and such! Thanks for checking out the end result of our collective work as a band since the beginning of the year!

It's been one year since I got the vinyl bug and it doesn't appear to be going away any time soon. Right away I could see my spending getting out of hand and we had just started the Dave Ramsey budget plan. This of course made things tricky but it made me very careful what I buy, and more importantly how I buy.
I discovered Discogs pretty quickly and found out it was very easy to set up and sell from. Each week I'd come home with a few garage sale scores to list for sale. As an Amazon Prime member, I not only learned how to search for bargain LP's, I made sure I ordered one at a time so I could keep the packing material (never once have I purchase a shipping box). 
Another help was buying two copies of any limited/variant editions and selling one to basically pay for my copy or at least make it very cheap.
All in all it's gone pretty well and I've tracked all my purchases/sales in the "You Need A Budget" (YNAB) app on my iPhone. Since last June, my out of pocket expense is about $800 and I've got about 400 records. The other good news is I just finished logging them all in Discogs and according to recent sale info, my collection at the low end is at $3400 on the low end and $9500 on the high. Anything used I own is VG+ or better and of course the new stuff is all NM.  While I'm a bit over budget on a monthly basis overall since last June, I've still managed to get a heck of a collection for a relatively low outlay.

Added doors to the cabinet, the doors can display a record or a picture and you can change records/pictures just by sliding them from the top of the frame.

nothing super fancy but it sounds great!

Found a copy of this today on someones doorstep. So much better than RSD version.

I've ordered from them a few times with no problems.

Love all the videos. I just lost a couple hours watching them all. Subscribed as ibzuck.

The cost of living in CA sucks, however West coast is the best coast.

Looks like someone is doing everyone a favor by posting this auction as a PSA.

I don't know why people didn't up-vote the shit out of this, or even acknowledge it, but thank you for being awesome.

Isn't that the country where people wear hats on their feet and hamburgers eat people?

I never did post a photo of my record room after selling my old shelves (that everyone here loved but sadly they outlived their usefulness due to space constraints and the fact that my fiance demanded that i keep the vault contained to one room). Here's the new room as of a week or so ago. I redid the room last spring, my lady liked the expedits in white so we went out and grabbed enough to fill the room.
 
At some point that 2x4 is going to be replaced by a 4x4 when I run out of room in the existing shelves. I don't give a shit about that window being blocked as I have never opened it. The current total count of records is a little shy of 10,000. I think I will have a party to celebrate when I hit the 10k mark.
 
Most of the old shelves are still in service over at Logan Hardware in Chicago. I kept a couple of them up in my office for the mailorder stuff.
