Gordon Comstock Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 @Black Sabbath @RussTCB The record store I go often has an original US pressing of Ozzy's No More Tears in great shape. But they want $100 for it (~$75 USD). What's it actually worth? Was gonna try to talk the guy down to $50-60 but I'm wondering if you guys know what I should try to get it for.

I didn't even know there was a US pressing (granted I haven't looked into the discogs that much); I have a Korean pressing. That said, I don't think it's worth $100. I'd try to go for $60-70, unless Russ has a better idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with @Black Sabbathon this. I didn't know there was a US pressing of it. I think mine is from Brazil maybe? I paid around $80 for mine I think. Sorry for all the "I think"'s as it's been a while since I got it. I absolutely LOVE that album though so I would've gone up to $100 for it to be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I could totally be wrong and I'll have to check later out of my own curiosity. That said, regardless of where it's pressed, you'll likely have to pay the same amount as it is more scarce than other Ozzy LPs (not counting Ozzmosis and Down To Earth which are insanely priced). If you can swing $75 USD it, I would, but it never hurts to try to lower the price a bit. It's my favorite Ozzy album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually confusing it with the other Ozzy album they had, which was a US pressing of Randy Rhoads Tribute. No More Tears was a Dutch pressing, and I picked it up not long ago for $70 (CDN).

Gordon Comstock Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Also got Ozzy's The Ultimate Sin and Nazareth's Malice In Wonderland from that place a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Picked up a couple Stranglers albums last night. Finally got the U.K. Pressing of the Phantasm soundtrack which puts me one pressing away from every vinyl pressing there is. Preordered the RAW soundtrack from mondo/death waltz a couple weeks ago. looked over the RSD list and it's not too exciting this year.

Powerage5 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Iron Maiden are finally releasing all their albums from 1990 onwards on black vinyl (They've only been previously available on colored vinyl for a couple, but otherwise only picture discs) - 12 releases over the course of two months. This is probably the biggest audio-related erection I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Okay, so i'm kinda sorta new to the vinyl game. I was born in 97 well after records fell out of their prime.. I know this has probably been asked quite a few times in here, but I really want to start a nice set up that isn't some piece of shit $50 Crosley with built in speakers that could potentially harm my records. I feel like every time I talk to someone about it they think I'm some hipster kid who got into vinyl because of one two many trips to Urban Outfitters, when in actuality I just want to listen to my favorite albums on vinyl! I've amassed quite a few records in the past couple of years, but feel like I'm losing out when I play them through a shitty turntable. Hell, im not even sure I'm doing the right thing when it comes to this I currently own this (minus the incredibly shitty speakers): a Jensen JTA-475. I cant help but think there is a better way to listen to records though. Usually when Im playing records on this thing I'm usually listening through a portable speaker or my Marshall Stanmore speaker, but I feel like I have to turn the volume alllllll the way up just to even hear anything. And when i do the sound is very muddy and just does not sound good at all. So I pose this question: What can $300-$500 get me in terms of a nice set-up for playing records? I want to be able to play a record and not feel like theres something better than this, even though I know in the price range im looking at, there is definitely better equipment if your pockets are deep enough. I'm sorry for derailing the conversation in this thread, but im sick of my small collection gathering dust. Someone help me out please!

I'm sorry for derailing the conversation in this thread, but im sick of my small collection gathering dust. Someone help me out please! for that price, I'd get an Audio Technica ATLP120 and hook it straight in to some audio engine speakers. check this out: https://www.turntablelab.com/products/audio-technica-at-lp120-usb-turntable-audioengine-a2-speakers-package-1 you can get the parts cheaper separately if you shop around. It's a great starter setup. no matter what you do, stay away from crosley and any other "all-in-one" type of things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't have to be a US pressing you can get it much cheaper on Ebay: here or here. Of course that's a bit of a risk since you can't check the condition.

RussTCB Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Wondered into a store in Columbus Ohio today and found that GN'R - Sin City Return bootleg so I went ahead and picked it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cantona Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Got a Led Zeppelin IV 180g reissue, first record I've bought so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Picked up a few things lately: White Zombie - Gods on Voodoo Moon 7" re-issue Jack White - Battle Cry 7' single The Kills - Cheap and Cheerful 7" single Cobra OST Dead Weather - Sea of Cowards LP (rare split color version) KISS - Unholy 12" single The Wicked Die Young LP (songs that inspired the film "The Neon Demon") probably a few other things I'm leaving out. I've actually finally given in to online shopping for some things. Record stores are getting higher and higher priced as vinyl becomes more popular again and are pretty much just full of re-issues, which then makes any original pressings go up in price. It's pretty lame. So, I've been buying things on discos and eBay more often lately than I used to but still go to stores all the time hoping to find some cool shit. It just happens less often than it used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosso Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) I recently bought Back To Black from Amy Winehouse on vinyl. It's a truly awesome album. Edited May 20, 2017 by Sosso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Picked up the new 7" flex disc of Asshole Blues by Iggy Pop. He sings and plays guitar on it and recorded it on his cellphone. I urge you to all pick up a copy. It's well worth the 10 bucks or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
