chunkrock Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I found listings for Sonic Youths Geffen Albums from Goo all the way up until Sonic Nurse on Amazon. The prices were crazy ($60 Canadian each) but I think they were place holders. Music direct has the single LP albums for $19.99 and the doubles for $24.99 I ended up finding this article on Modern Vinyl. http://modern-vinyl.com/2015/09/27/slew-of-sonic-youth-reissues-reportedly-incoming/ Music Direct doesn't have the pre-order for NYC Ghosts and Flowers or Murray St yet but I think those are coming in February while the other ones are coming out in November and December. I'm so excited to finally own Washing Machine, Experimental Jet Set, and NYC Ghosts at reasonable prices!

surfingelectrode Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Nice! I only need Washing Machine but I'll probably grab Goo to have a nice copy. Weren't Sonic Nurse and A Thousand Leaves already in print? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdwell Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hell Yes! for a band I've been into since middle school....the only thing I own of theirs (on vinyl) is that RSD 7" split with Jay Reatard from back in the day Is Murray Street still in print?

birdwell Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I hope these are large pressings and they just stay in print for a while....I won't be able to throw down on any of these for a while....probably until 2016 to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic_ Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I've heard of this band but can't check them out right now because I'm in class. What genre is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I'm very excited to pick up Washing Machine! I don't know if I've ever seen a cheap second hand copy. I've heard of this band but can't check them out right now because I'm in class. What genre is it? I'm shit at describing bands, but I'd go with 'guitar heavy indie rock with tendencies to get very noisy and experimental'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warhenrecords Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Dirty was the first one I got and I turned out okay. Band fucking rules. Wish I got to see them more than once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Dirty or Goo are probably the best starter albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 These should be readily available for a while. Similar to the other Goofin' releases, these should just be kept in print. I'll probably get a copy of Goo as I only have the MFSL on vinyl. And while I LOVE the way the MFSL sounds, I would say it's not really "true" to the sound of the original release.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Ill probably snag most of these at some point when they're up on Amazon with free shipping... I think I only have A Thousand Leaves and Murray Street on vinyl somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughingstalk Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Sounds cool, which album should I listen to first? Sister and Daydream Nation for more rock a la Pavement or Dinorsaur Jr. Experimental Jet Set... and A Thousand Leaves for their 90's pop sound. Bad Moon Rising and Confusion Is Sex for their raw, noise driven early stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I've heard of this band but can't check them out right now because I'm in class. What genre is it? Start with Evol. It is what got me into the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetwaves Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 In my opinion---top ten SY records 1. Daydream Nation 2. Sister 3. EVOL 4. Goo 5. Dirty 6. Murray Street 7. Bad Moon Rising 8. S/T 9. Washing Machine 10. A Thousand Leaves I love this band. It's also the one that I've seen the most---sixteen or seventeen times---every tour since Sister, multiple times on Goo and a few odd one off shows like a Johnny Ramone benefit, opening for the Stooges and This is Not a Festival. Also caught their last American show. Sorry, I'm rambling. For those unfamiliar with the band, I would start with Dirty or Goo. I think those are good entry points.

beatnik11 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Sweet, Jet Set and Washing Machine are the only big holes for SY albums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Sounds cool, which album should I listen to first? Dirty / Goo / Daydream Nation would be a good three to start with if you don't feel like wading through too much of their rather large catalogue. If you have the time, I'd suggest starting with Bad Moon Rising or Evol and work chronologically from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oberringer Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Awesome. Washing Machine goes for ridiculous prices, I would not have been able to buy an original. A Thousand Leaves and Sonic Nurse are still in print last time I checked. I picked those up a few months ago. Still waiting on the Sister repress too.

Shinji Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Have these all but will probably buy these as well because I'm a sucker, nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unravelled Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Have all of the original pressings except NYCGF. Their only truly bad record in my opinion. As far as entry points, I'd suggest Dirty, Daydream Nation, or Sonic Nurse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Listening to some right now, and this is really great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeKaye Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I can't listen to Dirty any more, loved it at the time but just falls flat for me now, but I always come back to Daydream Nation/Goo as the pinnacle for me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Have all of the original pressings except NYCGF. Their only truly bad record in my opinion. I can't get into that one at all either. I saw it for a decent price at a record swap last year and still passed. I might pick it up just to complete my studio album collection, but I'm not really sure if I'd listen to it much. Should probably just spent the $20 on something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
