Vinyl isn't dead yet...

it's drunk

Alvvays Announce ‘Blue Rev’ Anniversary Vinyl — Literally Filled With Blue Rev filled with the sugary alcoholic beverage the LP is named after.

The Canadian band worked with the custom vinyl manufacturer Romanus Records to produce just 50 copies of the reissue, piping vodka-based cola into the vinyl to create a trippy, translucent mixture that moves throughout.

priced a $200 a shot, hopefully it lands in the hands of true fans but likely a flippers paradise…

One can only assume hutch is currently going through the 421 lots of records that the BBC is currently auctioning off from their archives… of course a true record collector would never buy anything with a sticker applied to.

Well I already have the terror twilight box and 7 inch boxes are kind of pointless…..I just like albums….i am pretty close to done buying pavement as I have everything I need…

They should issue the slanted, crooked and wowee reddux editions on vinyl…I would buy those….

They really kind of fell out of favor with me with brighten the corners and then terror twilight just sucked.

One of the things I am missing in my collection is something autographed by Malkmus and preferably the rest…

Sade’s six albums being re-issued on vinyl this year $32.98 per

Went in for preorder of McCartney and Wings - One Hand Clapping on vinyl.  More than I wanted to pay, but oh well.

I mean can you really put a price on answering one of the oldest questions in human history?

It ain’t dead but it’s a ripoff

Do you own any?

Here's a list of some

I remember the Joe Jackson one.

Pretty sure the Joe Jackson is stashed away somewhere..

I would have sworn there was a Sonic Youth album with an etched fourth side… but clearly old age is getting it confused with another album  :'(

Huh. That's not what I thought it meant.

The way it was explained to me is that side 2 has 2 independent grooves, so depending on which you play, you get a different set of tunes. I.e., side B has 2 different track lists.

Might have some Detroit Techno 12”s that have that feature, they got up all sorts with their pressing.  Some even featured locked grooves. 

I’ve definitely got one 12” that plays inside out - King Kurt “Destination Zululand”

Ah, okay. Christian Marclay mentioned a horse race game record with multiple grooves. It was probably this one.

If I had any vinyl, I'd double down with this setup!

I truly can't decide if that's cool or lame.
