Gibson87 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Out of the roughly 30 records I have, this one has had the most spins and it's not even a competition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got you either way. Just get at me as June approaches and we'll go from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Got the Queen Studio Collection in earlier this week. It's one hell of a box set. It's treated like the Beatles sets (same style box, comes with a book, etc). Anyhow, it's nice to have brand new copies of their entire collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've almost bought that many times but never pulled the trigger. I own Hits I & II, Live at Wembley and Innudeno. I keep trying to convince myself I need the whole set.

Dude, if you buy it from musicvaultz, between the exchange rate to USD and using a coupon, you can get it for 300 flat, shipped. It was 450 which would be basically 500 after tax in my local store (Amoeba). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 New Pearl Jam just arrived. I won't be able to spin it til tonight, but the overall package is great. I expected that from QRP though. Hoping the music is great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I signed up for Vinyl Me, Please for the next three months because the April album is the first and as of now, only vinyl release fo the Stooges first album by way of the John Cale Mix. One of the other three are a cool re-issue of the White Stripe's De Stijl. I really just wanted the Stooges album but the WS one is cool and I will probably just sell the other one which I think was a Stevie Knicks album. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUnderScott Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I was thinking about leaving my AudioTechnica set up with speakers, in my bedroom, and setting something else up downstairs in the living room. A guy near where I live is selling a Rega RP-1 turntable for $200 (AU). Is this a quality turntable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUnderScott Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I recently flew from Brisbane to Melbourne to see Tool live (they were incredible) and bought a bunch of records at a great shop in Melbourne. Unfortunately though, the one I was most excited about getting home to listen to was the Guns N’ Roses Transmissions, rare radio and tv broadcasts. Has Jungle, Patience, DOTF, CW, LALD, and the one I was most keen on - Free Fallin’. But the sound quality is terrible. So quiet, muddy and dull. So disappointing. I’m not about to do the 1000 miles trip to take it back though 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it often takes more than one listen to gauge something properly 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 My old turntable finally crapped out, so I picked up an old JVC AL-F3 for a decent price today. So far I've spun Dirty Honey's debut EP, and Slave To The Grind. Sounds good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiff Competition Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Though really, they should just cancel it. Even if things mellow down, it's probably not best to have people wait in lines and rush in to stores. They should just send the stores the releases and let them put them out as normal and say, see you in november for RSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think it's bets to just split the releases up and bring them out over the course of several weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just learned this still existed after buying News of the World from Walmart. I decided I’m going to buy it in a few weeks. I already have News of the World, Hits I/II, Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera, A Day at the Races, Flash Gordon, Live Killers, and The Game. Queen II-Races are from the Queen + Paul Rodgers boxset and The Game and Live Killers are original Elektra pressings. I don’t mind having duplicates, plus I want that colored vinyl in the boxset.

luciusfunk Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Went on a bit of a binge recently. Picked up UYI I/II, The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper, Rubber Soul, Abbey Road, Queen’s Greatest Hits II, Romeo Drive by Kevin Max, Led Zeppelin II, Queen’s News of the World, and Destroyer by Kiss. Has to order Kiss online unless I wanted Destroyer Resurrected. Edited April 6, 2020 by luciusfunk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
