I ordered the latest Metallica LP today along with the Mitch Hedberg boxed set. I'm hoping they both arrive quickly. That should be freakin' great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only picked up a few, Meddle included, but each one sounds excellent. I'm this close to finally picking up Meddle. Might pull the trigger soon on the re-issue but there's a couple other wants/needs to get to as well... The last record I bought was the new EP from Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I got this bootleg a while ago when I saw it for significantly cheaper than usual, but I blew my receiver out around the same time so I haven't been able to listen to it. Well, I got a good deal on a receiver and finally hooked it up today, playing this now and it sounds surprisingly good. Gonna listen to a few records tonight that I've been waiting to spin... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was about $30-35. It's a surprisingly good recording, only thing I don't like about it is that the cover is super thin/flimsy, but I didn't buy it for the cover lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really thinking on it after I read that I know a LOT of people who have picked up vinyl over the past year especially. Of my close friends, I can only think of one couple who doesn't buy LPs reguarly now. It's craxy but it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 There seems to be some sort of mess surrounding the Tom Petty boxed sets that were supposed to come out last Friday and today. If my local shop has Volume 2 this morning as they're supposed to, I believe I'm going to go ahead and grab it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yep, they got it in and the owner is giving me a price too good to pass up. I'm gonna go grab it later this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If anyone comes across the RSD release that Iron Maiden did for Black Friday (It was the Brave New World album) for a reasonable price, can you do me a solid and point me in the direction? I got a copy, as well as three others for friends in Europe. I mailed their copies out immediately, opened mine the next day...and mine was scratched pretty bad on side 2. Fucking gutted, I've been after this album for ten years (There was only a single pressing available of it before this year), and I finally got a copy and I can't even play it It's already going in the ballpark of $100 secondhand.

Stiff Competition Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Third Man has a great bundle offer on the two paramount records box sets right now and I've been wanting to buy them since they were announced, so I finally gave in and got both sets for 500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I love CD bootlegs and have a ton of them but never owned a vinyl as they were always too expensive or in really bad shape. I have always wanted a original of the Stones "Liver than You'll Ever Be" LP which is the famous 1969 Oakland 2nd show that freaked out the Stones and their record label and forced them to release the legendary "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out" live album. I have several different CD label bootlegs of this show and it sounds fantastic for being recorded back in 1969. Legend has it the person recording it had a Uher reel to reel with a Sennhieser shotgun mike. Here is a great website abut this bootleg http://www.rollingstonesnet.com/Liver_LP.html Finally found one on ebay at a decent price and pulled the trigger. From the looks of it I think it is an original Lurch label pressing and the cover is in decent shape, as they tend to get trashed, and the vinyl looks in great shape but needs a cleaning which I plan to do tomorrow. Hopefully it plays well after a cleaning. funny thing about this boot is there are no breaks between the songs and the sides play as one long song. Bootlegs in those days were pretty crude affairs I guess.......... Edit: So I cleaned this up with my spin clean followed by the Record Doctor and was happy to find it was in EX+ condition with no scratches. It played very quiet with just a little first track crackle and just a few random pops. I got very lucky as it looks like the previous owner barely played this LP it was so clean. This boot sounds fantastic and I can see why the Stones label DECCA freaked out when this was released shortly after the concert. It sounds almost pro recorded and I think even better than the several CD bootlegs I have of this show. It is an amazing recording for the times.....Highly recommended to any Stones fan that collects vinyl.............

classicrawker Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Got myself an early Christmas present and finally pulled the trigger on the 3LP Who Live at Leeds half speed mastered reissue. The complete show in the proper running order so it will be a Who weekend at my house. Edited December 20, 2016 by classicrawker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm stopping to pick up the lastest Tribe Called Quest LP this morning. I don't think anything else was released today that I need, but I'm gonna double check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJean Baby Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I need to get a turntable. I have a huge crate of old albums that I haven't even looked through in years. Sounds like a good plan for 2017... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Got my new table set up... Pro-ject debut carbon esprit SB>pro-ject phono box s>audio engine a5+ speakers I also upgraded the ortofon red stylus that it comes with to the ortofon blue stylus.

Gordon Comstock Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Picked up a couple records today, Cream's Fresh Cream (stereo version) and NWA's 100 Miles And Runnin with the holographic cover. Also finally got around recently to getting Inmazes by Vola on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also grabbed a new-ish GNR bootleg called 'In The Empire of The Sun' from Tokyo '88 because I can't not buy a GNR record I don't have Sounds about as good as I figured it would tbh, which isn't great. Was surprised to see they also had Pasadena '87 (from the same company that pressed the Tokyo show) and a 3LP from Stockholm '91. I'm also waiting on a bootleg of the April 9 Vegas show 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
