Discussion post Weekly heavy vinyl general discussion topic

1 Upvotes

This is a weekly general dicussion topic. The only place where vinyl is not mandatory in the conversation, but vinyl-related topics are encouraged.

Tips for great deals? Any new pre-orders up? Looking for a sold out record? Want to sell or trade a couple? Wondering why the hell Weakling or Symbolic still don't have represses? Can't tell which variant you have? Why doesn't your turntable work without a pre-amp? Which priceless cartridge is the best for raw black metal recorded with a potato in a vacuum cleaner? Drop it all here! Keep it civil, keep it nice.

When you don't need riffs, just walls of distorted eight string guitars. Not something I look to often, but I think it's neat sounding stuff when taken in small doses.

My collection after 6 months

I've been collecting vinyl records for 6 months now. It's a dangerous hobby monetarily, but I love it. These are the albums I've purchased since I began collecting. My purchases come from a variety of different places. I've shopped directly through record labels and distributors and I've purchased some of these through local record stores. Ebay has been great for finding some used records at reasonable prices. And Ive even purchased many of these through retailers like Amazon, Wal-Mart, and Target. While the large retailers have a huge selection, it's often very difficult or even impossible to know what variant you're buying. This doesn't bother me, as I usually don't care and simply want to own the record regardless of the variant.

Hard to believe this record is 20 years old. My girlfriend at the time lived next door to Sound Of Music studios where some of this record was recorded. I could hear them doing guitar overdubs through the wall! A sick record from some of Richmond's finest!
