They’re just another arm of the online stores DeepDiscount, SoundstageDirecf, etc.

no, they are an official reissue program of universal music group, as is 'back to black'. so it's as official as it gets.

ah interesting.
i've read some pretty terrible reviews on them though (customer service, shipping times, bad items). the prices on their albums are outrageous (just bc it's swirled?) but being that it's a shop for UMG, that kind of explains the markup.

I use Sound of Vinyl and I have never had any issues or complaints. *shrugs*

Should buying records be this hard?

just go to the record store, you dingus

Had to take my turntable in for repairs yesterday

what was wrong with it? i'm always afraid mine needs repairs but i don't know it

I no longer own PJ20 and the Constitution Hall vault release on vinyl.

Pretty sure the belt's gone on it. There were a few dodgy patches while playing a record yesterday, that had me wondering if the record had warped some, and then it just slowed right down - even on 45 speed it was too slow... It's a pretty old player

I mean it's really not though.

I find not buying records is the hard part.

aw huh

So, yesterday I purchased:

Bob Dylan Bootleg Series vol. 8 - Tell Tale Signs
Bob Dylan Bootleg Series vol. 12 - The Best of the Cutting Edge
Metric - Synthetica
R.E.M. - Accelerate

I am happy with my choices

My recent purchases have been;

Roxy Music - Live, from their 2006 reunion tour. One of the most underrated bands there are.
Jeff Healey Band - Volume 1, a three disc greatest hits package.
Tedeschi Trucks Band - Live: Everybody's Talkin', and their new album Signs on pre-order
Blue Oyster Cult - Some Enchanted Evening and Fire of Unknown Origin
Beth Hart - Live at Royal Albert Hall. Relatively unknown for how good she is.

My best purchase of 2018 was Charlie Parker - The Complete Savoy and Dial Recordings, a ten disc set that sounds way better than it should.

in the mail today..

Recently:

Okervil River - In the Rainbow Rain
Will Oldham - Songs of Love and Horror
The Shins - The Worms Heart
Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow
Phish - The Baker's Dozen Live at MSG
J Mascis - Elastic Days
Tom Waits - Heartattack and Vine
St. Vincent - MassEducation

Those last two...

If only all of my LPs weren't packed up in boxes next to my bed.
