pretty amazing minor threat collection:
https://seekingthesimple.wordpress.com/vinyl/minor-threat/

although buying the same thing over and over again seems a bit silly even to this hoarder/collector

I just got the minor threat dischord 12 lp with the red cover and poster….finally… I've had the cd of complete discography but this is one I wanted to have

I used to think Ian MacKaye would never sign stuff but at blue groove soundz record store the owner got him to sign something he's since put on the wall…can't remember what

only recently did I realize that was ian's brother with the head slouched on his arms on the cover…

recorded in Arlington by people who lived in Arlington and purchased by a person who lives in Arlington at Arlington's only record store….nearly 35 years later..

of course its the 7" everyone wants…

Hadn't known before that some early Dischord was also labeled Limp, but considering it was Skip Groff's label and he mentored Dischord it makes sense.

That's stupid. Revolver is a much better record.

Sorry if this question is a repeat but where do you all go to read about the sound quality of vinyl reissues?  Apparently there are labels to avoid and labels to follow….versions to buy and versions to avoid.

Any ideas?

Thanks - funny you mentioned that. Question is a result of a conversation I had last week with a guy at Ka-Chunk in Annapolis. Pretty sure he mentioned that label.

I then went home and popped on a Melvins reissue and was initially underwhelmed by the sound.

Enjoy the edible lo-fi sounds of "Jarabe Tapatío," aka "The Mexican Hat Dance."

After years of having makeshift areas for my record player, I finally pulled the trigger on this. Definitely a bit pricey, but I think it will finally resolve my ongoing record player location issues.

That is pretty badass. I'm definitely fighting off an urge to impulse buy this.

Yeah…I followed the kickstarter for weeks/months and finally pledged and got a small discount.

Yeah at $400 it is, but it is pretty slick and the way it should be done (isolating the turntable from speakers and things that go thump in the night)
