Derek™ Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 22 minutes ago, prowl20 said: this vinyl subreddit posts a LOT of represses and pre-orders that this board often misses Speak for yourself – or general VC I guess – but I suspect a lot of folks here do catch those releases, and just don’t bother creating new threads or bumping ones that are 5-10 years old. I know I’ll often catch new drops before they’re posted here or on that sub, just from following bands and labels on social media. Since I don’t feel like I especially share a lot of musical ground with VC these days, I tend to just text the friends those releases apply to, assuming they’re not already on the ball or even more privy to drops. Makes way more sense than creating a thread in hopes they’ll see it in time. Plus I figure we already have one bot regurgitating links and Twitter updates all day – no need to saturate. tl,dr; social media was a mistake but using it to follow bands and labels almost makes it redeemable. Facebook, IG, and Twitter notably. They’re excellent sources for pre-orders and even announcements of upcoming pre-order windows, but I’m sure if you’re reading this, you’re already well aware.

Marla Posted December 9, 2021 Author Share Posted December 9, 2021 Thank you all for your answers! I started checking for my favourite albums and almost all of them are out of stock Is it worth waiting (for how long though? ) or should I try to find them second hand? Do you guys buy it new mostly?

New when possible, but a lot of albums go out of print and are repressed later. If you're really trying to find one thing or another, try Discogs or even searching on the Buy/ Sell/ Trade threads here. I've gotten great deals on this very forum. What are you looking for, specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardlineKid Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Also, don't take an album that's in stock everywhere for granted. They have a way of just disappearing. If you like it enough, buy it regardless of how common it appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadmonkey Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 1 hour ago, timsimmons said: Counterpoint, theres less posted here because this sub exists. Counter-Counterpoint. The members of this board have a similar music tastes and the preorders/restocks/represses get posted here are more in line with that rather than the shotgun of here's all of the things the subreddit offers. Also it's a lot more personable and fun here than a subreddit. Definitely a sense of community since it's a smaller space. This is why I prefer to post/find my releases here. If I miss anything really cool these days, a) I didn't care enough b) It's probably way too expensive c) In the end there will always be a repress, patience is always key faaip de oiad, Marla and prowl20 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
