Got this and the last A Tribe Called Quest LP which had been somewhat difficult to find as of late.
I picked up Thundercat as well. Sounds great.

I basically got into him after To Pimp a Butterfly. Or that's when he hit my radar.
The record he dropped last year was one of my top ten of the year.
But this was the first time I've heard his debut. I just bought it on faith.

Got everything I wanted online this morning for less than they would've cost in store. If you missed out on anything yesterday, start checking Discogs now, lots of stores on the east coast are putting leftovers up as I post this.

I can't figure out how to buy anything from the US on discogs ever.

When you click on an item's listing and then get all of the ones for sale, the easiest way to do this is to filter by currency on the left, since there's no way to filter by where it's coming from. You'll still get a few listings from overseas that use US dollars, but they're easy to spot by how expensive the shipping is.

Yeah I absolutely hate that. I know you can filter it, but absolutely everything in my want list or things I come across all ship from overseas. It’s basically an EU marketplace at this point, unless you’re buying straight from an US-based distributor.

I think it's all part of the vinyl production/supply backups. While it's obvious how new vinyl production has become so backed up, what's overlooked is how that's dried up the used LP market, and in response you only get results from overseas.

I think there’s definitely some truth to this. But it’s been an issue for me - personally - for a while before Covid. To be fair some things I’m interested are from uk based labels, so that doesn’t help. But it’s certainly gotten worse. And you’re right, the used market is either completely tapped, or they’re being sold in-person or on a different platform. I know Discogs changed the way and amount they charge sellers (like a year or two ago) and people got pissed of about that

Yeah, when they started charging sales tax it sort of dampened some of the good deals you could get. My spending went way down.

I actually found a US seller offering up the one RSD item that I couldn't find at any of the stores I went to Friday. It's a good price. And the seller has 100% 5 star rating on over 2,000 reviews.
I should buy it right?
