Vinyl isn't dead yet...

I came in about 1993 and when you had Bardo, the old Iota, Galaxy Hut, Go CD,  and before the Whole Foods it was at least tolerable (although no great shakes)…I may be forgetting some stuff…

I miss Orpheus…the guy-rick- was a bit of a freak (not to mention the other guy who used to work there who was plain nuts) and had crazy prices on some stuff not to mention that crazy color price scheme he had but he put out some great stuff in those dollar bins…for a while I used to go about once a week and walk out with an armload of records for $20.. still can't get over that he gave up precisely at the time vinyl made a comeback…

Old Clarendon…nothing but Little Tavern, Sears, and a bunch of Vietnamese joints.  And Dan Kain Trophies, where I worked in high school.

I always forget most of this board is pushin' 50.  ;D ;D ;D

You all have some years on me.

Strongly hinted at on their FB about a month ago but nice to have confirmation. This album has aged so well, I really didn't like it when it came out.

everything is beeing reissued on vinyl… i read that the three thievery corporation lps for example

concern bout quality control… with not enough record pressing plants around i think they are pumping them out so fast there are issues.. warps for example..

never been a better time to buy cds.. nobody wants them anymore…

a good use for vinyl:

i pre-ordered from glacial pace and got a notification mine shipped today. joy!

Didn't realize Yo La Tengo's Fakebook had been reissued on vinyl… heck of an album.. always a want of mine…

Have to admit that lately vinyl is becoming quite alluring again. The quality of it is definitely a step up. I'm finding out that (for example) certain LPs have different track listing, tracks, etc. I never realized that the Queens of the Stone Age "Over the Years and Through the Woods" LP has a totally different track listing (and it's better too) than the CD. Shellac always sounds better on vinyl than in digital format. Not sure if Albini masters things differently for LP or what, but I'm realizing some stuff is just better in vinyl format. I just got the reissued version of "Crazy Rhythms" by the Feelies and I can't wait to listen to it today.

I bought mine locally. The revised tracklisting kind of throws it off.

Bedhead just released a 5 LP box set on 180 gram vinyl….that would be one to grab.

I will only listen to Shellac on cassette.

How much and what kind of records and art do u get?

Edit: found it. Not horribly pricey but it's a lot nonetheless.
