unwound Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Maybe I should have added that back then was when I started to buy records. Fifteen years later, that stuff is played out and lame. Give me high quality audiophile pressings over limited, tour only, etched b-side nonsense. Just out of curiosity, you graduated in 2005, right? It's 2012, how the hell have you been collecting for 15 years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christhepiece Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Splatter is so great ! Who cares how it sounds ? We have mp3s for that. Vinyl is only made to be framed anyway. youspinmeround 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonbeams Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Everyone, please don't take my threads too seriously. Colored vinyl is awesome. I love artistic applications of the medium, but it's frustrating when the looks are given more care than the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a kid my dad gave me all of his records along with his old turntable and stereo. Granted, it was a lot of beat up hair metal, but that's how I started. I didn't start buying my own stuff until my early teenage years. So yeah, I could have clarified that I have owned stuff for that long, but have been buying for a few years less.

Vinyl Fury Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I find GZ produced splatters to be exceptionally noisy. Sometimes they look cool. Sometimes the look like diarrhea. I find GZ pressed anything to generally sound like poo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enjoytheride Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I always appreciate when a lot of care goes into the entire physical product, the quality of the paper, art, design, vinyl color. Every detail that makes the package a well thought out piece of work. If I didn't care about any of that, I'd probably just buy music digitally.

hickey Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Fuck! This thread sucks. You know what I like? Records! Don't give a shit about color, cover, vinyl thickness. If I can put it on my turntable and listen to some great tunes, I'm happy. If those tunes happen to be on a more limited color of vinyl, that's a small bonus, but in no way a deal breaker. Colored vinyl is cool; black vinyl is cool; records are cool. rudeboydh, moonbeams, chiefwahoo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't care about any of that, I'd probably just buy music digitally. i always appreciate when the record sounds really good and is mastered correctly. i also appreciate when they're fairly priced. i don't appreciate when labels get hung up on making it look nice to justify a $20 price tag for a single LP.

I'd rather pay $20 bucks for a single LP if I feel that my money is going towards the enhanced packaging of the record (and not into someone's pocket) than $12 bucks if its in a ross ellis 2 panel jacket with waterbase coating.

waytansea27 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think a lot of record collectors have that collectors bug in them. Like when I was younger I collected trading cards and later got into collecting first edition books. So I think that's why a lot of people enjoy variants. It's just a fun hobby. Something to keep you busy and always on the hunt. hobohunter48 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

companyinkrecs Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 even if it sounds like shit and was mastered from the cd by a computer? Of course not, but I haven't had that issue too often. Usually if the label cares enough about the print they do about the actual audio quality as well. Usually. I guess people can take a shit in a box and mark it guaranteed (if they have spare time) though. But then Victory comes along with records that are cheap but look and sound like turds. So I guess there is no real formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
