Wooderson Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Whilst there's clearly loads of twatty geezers using RSD to make cashmoney, mostly it's anorak wearing gits like me out for some shitty repress they "just have to have". I do enjoy the hype. Soz. Theres a Desmond Dekker release that I've my eye on this year alongside the 'Dead, Mathew Sweet and Etienne de Crecy.

Tantamount to ticket touting and not what RSD was invented for. Unfortunately mate, if there is money to made from something then it will attract dickheads. I can honestly say in all these years that I have never sold a record, nevermind for silly money. 2 hours ago, Wooderson said: Whilst there's clearly loads of twatty geezers using RSD to make cashmoney, mostly it's anorak wearing gits like me out for some shitty repress they "just have to have".

Fred Zepplin Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Does anyone buy from Rakuten? The vinyls seem to be so cheap, are most of them just dodgy knock offs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair though I generally buy 2nd hand vinyl so am probably not the best qualified on other outlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 just had a look at the RSD list and prices. 4LP live '77 thing form the Dead. 120 notes.

Mardy Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 odd one today, it's apparently an unofficial release of Talk Talk's Laughing Stock. Just giving it a listen, sound quality is pretty good, strange release though, couple of extra tracks on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 15 minutes ago, Scruffylovemonster said: Did you see that new explosions in the sky vinyl, Mardy? 31 bastard quid. It did look good though. Couldn't justify with the 3 other albums I had in my hand as well. Maybe next week. Yeah, I had a look on Amazon, but obviously I can't find it here in Russia, so I didn't really consider it I'm back in the UK at the start of May, so slowly getting a list of things I want together. Not sure I'll punt 32 quid on that record though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Also got Eno, Another Green World, but decided not to get the copy of 'Stormbringer' by John and Beverly Martin. Already regretting that. Next week, next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Been giving some of the old vinyl a clean up and a spin today. Using vinyl revival which seems to work pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I don't think I've heard those two additional tunes from Talk Talk, Mardy. Love that record. Is cheesy to say it but "New Grass" is their finest work. Yes, even better than "I Believe In You". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a bit of digging, the additional tunes seem to be from this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_Pieces_(Talk_Talk_album) man, i've loved talk talk from way back in the day, had cassettes of their stuff, then upgraded to cd, they've been a constant in my life for 25 years, but i'm not sure the 18 year old me really appreciated how good those last two albums were. more importantly, the bass player has the coolest name in musical history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, i'm pretty new to Eno, and the back catalogue is quite daunting, i've given a few a listen on Spotify (love that one with Byrne) now getting them when i see them. road to ruin is great, yeah, in the same way as i love pretty much everything up to One World, but I'm kind of limited to what i can find in shops here. Stormbringer has John the Baptist, though, eh? What a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I know nothing gets close to 'My Life In The Bush of Ghosts', but those two I named are the next-best IMO. I can't remember the track name now, but one of the tracks on one of those is what Blur ripped off for one of their tracks (coffee and TV, I think).

Gnomicide Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Received The Spade by Butch Walker and The Black Widows today. Ordered though Amazon marketplace and sent from Switzerland of all places. All for the princely sum of £12.04. Sounding great on vinyl, on of my favourite albums of the last few years, an absolute joy to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I've only been posting here for something like 5 years and this is the first I have seen the Vinyl thread! My lordy lord........ I won a few quid on the gee gees yesterday so thought I would treat myself to an album...... ended up buying Meds by Placebo on Pink vinyl purely as Pink is my favourite colour (I have this thing about coloured vinyl - it is such a beautiful thing!) and now I am sitting in my office listening to them obsessively. Not the vinyl mind, if I brought my turntable amp and speakers into the office my boss would have my bollocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWSTW is a great album. Agreed 120 notes is also beyond mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 In my ongoing quest to find all that's hip and happening in new music, I grabbed myself a copy of Paul Simon's Ultimate Collection from HMV. £17.99 not too bad for a double. Anyway, sounds mighty fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
