midnightcity Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hey kids, For the blog side of VC, I want to do something cool, mainly create a top albums of the year list as chosen by you. Here's how it will be done, for the next week post your submissions for your top 5 favorite represses of this year into this thread. Any genre is permitted. I'll comb through this thread next Tuesday, pick out the titles that repeat the most, and create a poll to decide on the final choices. Additionally, I'll be asking you guys to contribute blurbs on why these represses are the best this year. More on this later. Only one rule - the records MUST have been released this year.

atarirec Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Sleep - Dopesmoker Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers - L.A.M.F. (Lost '77 mixes) Youth of Today - Break Down the Walls Cobalt - Gin David Lynch/Alan R. Splet - Eraserhead Original Soundtrack ...Smashing Pumpkins "Mellon....", Smoking Popes "Born To Quit", and Superdrag's "Regretfully Yours" may have been in the top 5... but they are not in my possession as of yet. So there. Some other dazzling metal/punk reissues came out this year as well... too many to mention. Although some may not consider Cobalt's Gin a repress... it was originally issued in 2009 on cd. Margot & The Nukes "Dust of Retreat", Empire Records Soundtrack, and Goldenboy "Blue Swan Orchestra" also fall in this category... if you will, and definitely deserve a plug for fave repress. And lastly, Mondo's repress of "The Beyond" soundtrack... and ALL the Death Waltz soundtracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zacooper Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Blink 182 - Take Off Your Pants & Jacket (MTS version) LOL No, but seriously...

Travis gets a shout out too for consistently pushing for good records for HT to carry (like Thrice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzersonKillwell Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 our stats say otherwise. I'm going to guess the blog is a slightly different user group than the forum. So it might be accurate to say not many forum members read the blog, which could also be inaccurate, but makes more sense to me. I don't have a favorite repress. I love them all equally. Except Music On Vinyl. Too espensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 The correct answer is: Sleep "Dopesmoker" I'll also throw Bolt Thrower "Realm of Chaos" out there, even though it hasn't shipped yet, so I haven't listened to the record, so it MAY not qualify. Still... Bolt Thrower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
