Post your gems

Fuck you Frank Ocean.  Finish up the packaging.  You know what fuck you Frank Ocean for making a great album then not finishing up the LP.  I'm going to buy the Miguel record out of spite (and it's awesome).

This is real though. Everyone thinks it's photoshopped but it's not.

Eh, I guess I only posted it on DF when I bought it.

I worked at a record store for a year for store credit. It was one day a week, when I didn't work my real job. At some point, I saved up near 1K. During one week, we got in

MC5 - Kick Out The Jams (red label/first press - which I have an original pressing, just not first),

Lightning Hopkins on Imperial ($100 record, which I still want, though I don't have much credit left)

That VU first press and

A VG++ 2nd state Beatles 'Butcher' cover that was the exact same price.

I knew I was going to get one of those things. When it came down to it, I knew I would never have another opportunity to buy a record of that caliber for 'store credit,' ever!

It was funny. Since I was using credit, they wouldn't budge on the price. They charged tax too, so it came to for $430 or something. But I didn't [technically] pay for it (unless you count my time, which would have been wasted at home).

 

just posting to say that is rad, I worked a job a few years back that had an almost identical "pay you extra" in store credit perk to working there.  pretty much if the store was busier than usual,  you did something they liked, or you worked during crazy textbook buyback time (it was a used book/music/video game/movie store) theyd give you extra store credit  youd also get a % of your check added onto store credit     the credit racked up really really quickly  --  in the few months I worked there picked up tons of cool shit  but they never really focused much on vinyl and had anything of that caliber.

It's the only perk that makes some of those jobs tolerable. But, now I have a real, salary job and all I want to do is go hang out at the record store once a week.


I have a physical I have to fast for in early March. I'm planning on taking off the whole day so I can go in and work at the record store one day.
