The Vinyl Thread: Still Listen On Wax, Don't Use The CD

[Simple Torture]

How many times have you bought an album that you already unknowingly owned? Happened to me probably 3-4 times before I put everything in Discogs.

Zero

It's fascinating to me that this has ever happened to anyone.

I once bought a book because someone had it checked out from the library for so long, then later found out it was me that checked it out.

That's amazing

Fine guess I’ll keep this extra copy of Lost Dogs to myself and not offer it to anyone !

In all seriousness though there's no way you have two copies of Lost Dogs because you didn't know you already had one. Right?

[epilogue]

That’s never happened to me but I once was pumped that I found Some Girls used, got it home, and discovered in the sleeve was Hot Rocks, which I did already have.

That's some bullshit.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine. He bought a brand new, shrink wrapped CD. Opened it. But when he played it, it was a completely different album. I'd never seen anything like it.

In college I bought a copy of Led Zeppelin 2 from the thrift store, but when I got home the Star Wars soundtrack was inside. Wasn’t even mad about it

I have two copies of Collapse Into Now on vinyl. One was a gift though and remains unopened

Rough Trade moved from Williamsburg to 30Rock.



Still, I took the ferry and bought some records today. I feel great!

I am not a vinyl aficionado. I have an entry-level Audio Technica turntable and only about 50 albums in my collection. But today I saw a turntable that I fell completely in love with. It's called a "Pear Audio Blue" and I want it and today I came very close to making an absurdly irresponsible and unjustifiable purchase. But I came to my senses

Yes, definitely not ready for this stupid hobby.

[Jorge]

It costs like 8k!

[Simple Torture]

Ok, that makes sense.

I balked at the newest Nick Cave box set this week; I'm not even sure if there's been a proper U.S. presale yet, but the EU presales make it equal to about $200.

[bodysnatcher]

Lol absolutely unnecessary amount of money for a turntable

[Jorge]

I mean I didn't really come close to buying it but I did sort of pause for a moment like "do I dare...?"

[Strat]

Lol absolutely unnecessary amount of money for a turntable

or is it

I love this post so much!

I mean maybe a human ear with legs could hear a difference, but anything between 300-600$ is totally fine!

Unless you’re George
