Vinyl Records

Hoping to snag a copy before the scalpers do. Let's see if Bandcamp doesn't crash

looks like they got some bundles too.

Finally came in the mail! Really excited to listen to it

Oh boy, what a record. Lyrically it's so destructive but I'm always satisfied after giving it a listen.

Top row:

Cold Gawd - God Get Me The Fuck Out Of Here

Alison Goldfrapp - Love Invention

The Jam - Sound Affects

Bottom row:

Cranes - EP Collection, Volumes 1 & 2

Cranes - Self-Non-Self

The Cold Gawd album was new to me and I bought it on a whim after hearing it play at a record store I love. It's an awesome album though and I recommend it to anyone who likes the heavier side of shoegaze.

I also highly recommend Alison Goldfrapp's solo album. Lots of dancey fun and will put you in a good mood.

The other 3 I've just been needing in my collection for a long time.

For me it was probably Thrice's Alchemy Index. I paid around $130 for it and I don't think I can afford to make any more record purchases like that again lol

I just listened to the full album today and instantly wanted to snag a copy...feels bad

Described jokingly as "nintendocore", Horse the band and this album in particular were a huge part of my metalcore loving youth. So I couldn't resist getting this when I saw it had been pressed to vinyl and in cool colours no less.

Alt text: The art on the LP outer sleeve is a drawing of a soaring squail and an octopus and other creatures that are mentioned in the songs. It has a hype sticker that says "Record Store Day Exclusive, First time on vinyl". One of the vinyl records is a swirl of two colours described as baby blue and custard. The other (not pictured) is spring green and custard. These match the colours of the album art.

That's a pretty steep discount for this classic record. Thought I'd share

We all know that Crosbys and Victrolas aren't great, so what would you recommend for a friend who has started collecting vinyl records?

You could say that I'm a fan.

I'm a collector of sorts so was hoping we could have a community on Lemmy where we can discuss anything related to collecting and caring for our records. Hope to see more folks join in!
