Vinyl LP and Turntable Discussion

[RussTCB]

I went to a vinyl fair today and bought:

Metallica- Creeping Death EP

Jim Capaldi- Short Cut Draw Blood

Traffic- The Low Spark of High Helled Boys

Eric Clapton- Slowhand

I really wanted to buy Blind Faith album, but I didn't have enough money.

I've gotta get around to picking up Slowhand. I currently only have Time Piece and 24 Nights.

Do you like Cream? Clapton is great when playing with them

I've got Strange Brew but that's it so far from Cream

[Powerage5]

Few more for sale:

Jimi Hendrix - First Rays Of The New Rising Sun (numbered)

Jimi Hendrix - Live At Berkeley (numbered)

Jimi Hendrix - Live At Woodstock (3 LP boxset)

Dropkick Murphys - The Meanest Of Times

Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time (sealed)

I have a question for ya'll vinyl geeks here. Recently i bought the Led Zeppelin I album. Now i'm trying to find out what year it was released etc. The only thing i could find about it is this: http://www.storenvy.com/products/4480627-led-zeppelin-led-zeppelin Everything from the vinyl i own completes with the description on that page, except for the matrix code on the record. My record has the number 40031 A machine-stamped on the a side and K 40031 B machine-stamped on the b side. By this i want to ask if anyone of you can help me out to find out some more information about the year of release, number of pressing and if there is a possibility that this record could be a bootleg version. Thanx.

This may not help much, but I always go to www.discogs.com for all info like that.

Very bad accident occurred to one of my most valuable Maiden records tonight. I'm cataloguing my whole record collection on Discogs, and as such having to go through and check the condition of every single disc. This particular record is a triple picture disc housed in a triple gatefold, with discs 2 and 3 sliding out towards each other. I was taking disc 2 out, when the inner sleeve got caught under a flap inside the gatefold. In trying to get it un-stuck from the flap, I created an approximately 3" tear on the spine (I say tear rather than split, because it starts at the edge of the spine) Fucking gutted, and already looking at replacement copies. I guess I should be thankful that the is the only serious mishap I've had with a record (Even though it was accidental), but I'm looking at about $150 plus shipping from Europe to get a replacement copy in comparable condition to mine before the tear.

Russ, you're more of an expert than I am I think. Realistically, how much do you think I'd be able to get selling this copy. I know the tear will mark it down significantly, but the records are NM and the sleeve was NM before the tear. Think I could get $50 for it still maybe?

Dunno if I'm gonna get these reissues yet or not. Certainly not gonna get the box set though.

Is the sleeve itself unique to the set or is it one of those sort of generic clear plastic pic-disc sleeves? From your description, it sounds like the former is true. If it's unique to the set, I'd honestly say you're gonna need to knock off about $20 for a 3" tear.

Yes, printed sleeve. Really, only $20 for a 3" tear? I would've thought a lot more. Maybe replacing it soon won't be so bad if I can still sell my current copy for a halfway decent price.

I bet it'll sell for only $20 less. A lot of people are like me and they'll jump on it for slightly cheaper just to listen to the album itself. I'd tell ya to post it for $20 but stress the tear in the description and post lots of pics. I'd say someone will bite.

[Powerage5]

Cool, I'll probably go ahead and list it soon - if selling this copy could still pay for a majority of a replacement copy, then I don't have much to worry about.

Picked up the new Ryan Adams. Hope I like it. Going by other people's recommendations.

Let me know what you think please. I've heard it's great too, but I've never really liked much of his other stuff.

I had a great accidental find day yesterday. I got import best of LPs by Sam Cooke & Joe Cocker. The Sam Cooke is a 2LP set that has everything I'd want by him except Somebody Ease My Troubled Mind, but I can find a 7" for. I also grabbed the other Cocker album that's got You Can Leave Your Hat On too. I found the Broken Bells 7" I've been looking for and stumbled across the second New Edition album in great condition as well.

Heading out today to see if I can dig up a best ofs by Sly & The Family Stone, War and Jefferson Airplane as well as look for that Sam Cooke 7"

Picked up Zep-2 the other day. Great album! Now I have the first three and i think I prefer III the best so far, followed by I. Looking forward to get self-titled, or IV, when it's released.

I just listened to III straight through again yesterday. It got me all excited again for the IV and Houses re-issues coming soon.

Speaking of re-issues, I'm going to take my AFD & LLaS LPs to the record store this morning to see what I can get in trade for them towards The Beatles Mono box. They're going for $250 and $175 respectively on Discogs, which is $425 total. The Beatles set goes for around $350, so I'm hoping to be able to maybe get an even trade or close to it.

I'm currently not planning on picking up Houses.

Why is AFD going for so much?

Isn't it cheaper to purchase the Beatles mono LPs separately? Seems like they're going for about $24 each

They did they trade for me, so I'm happy! The copy of AFD that I had was a sealed copy of the very first pressing that was on both the Uzi Suicide & Geffen labels.

As for the price of the mono set, I wanted to box & the book so I'm quite happy with the deal.

[RussTCB]

It's beautiful!

[WFA]

What record store, Dearborn?

[RussTCB]

JESUS. These mono pressings are goddamn amazing.

[RussTCB]

Ran back today to grab The Beach Boys-Live In London & Gary Clark Jr Live.
