You should try Amazon... unless you're a RSD-indie-shop-local-hipster type, then I totally get why you wouldn't.

Anyways, I get a lot of my new releases from Amazon, and prices tend to be slightly cheaper than my local stores and shipping is free if the order is over $25.

I couldn't see Core or Purple on Amazon - had to go through some other online retailer. Although last night I was having a wee browse on Amazon and found some place advertising on there that had 1 copy left of Superunknown on vinyl - so I grabbed that.

How much did you pay for Superunknown?

$30 for the album and $15 for shipping. Odds are it's scratched to hell. Guess I'll find out in a week or two when it arrives

I used to have copies of Superunknown and DOTUS which I lost in a fire a few years ago.
I never re-bought them because I feel we're due for reissues of those albums.

Even Wayne Gretzky likes to spin some vinyl...

Like Clockwork spinning at the moment. It does indeed sound great.
I've only listened to Mp3's of this album until now (on big speakers and in the car) and I'm hearing things I had never heard before.
Perhaps I didn't put enough importance in a 45rpm release, but the depth on this record is just sick. I wish the SP reissues were 45rpm.

snagged the mad season re-issue this weekend

What's the best version of Sea Change to keep an eye out for? How's the Mobile Fidelity compare to the regular version?

I see the MFSL edition all the time for between $35-$45 and I'm always tempted. I've never heard any version on vinyl.

And discogs has the early press for like 120. Had me wondering, I'd love to have that record. But I don't know.

I feel I should own Odelay... there's even a goddamn song about having multiple turntables! (and a microphone)

I got the iPhone app iRPM, it's neat, if you place it on your turntable it tells you the exact speed the table is spinning at in RPM or rad/s. not sure how accurate it is because it showed my rega1 as 33.7

That's cool. Strobe discs are weird.

Meanwhile, here's my vinyl obsessed thought of the day. After sifting through numerous eBay auctions and "seeing sellers other items", it's come to my attention that Japanese people have great record collections.

Discuss.

There's a running theme on r/vinyl on Reddit where people visiting Japan post photos of bin diving while over there. They sure do seem to be big fans of high fidelity.

I bet my current player would read about 29rpm

i saw a vinyl box set of the Flaming Lips' "Zaireeka". Would never buy it, but thought it was cool... who has 4 turntables hooked up in a single room?

This has dropped waaaaay down in price since it's been released, if people were waiting for that. I saw it for over $50 on RSD, now it's down below $35 most places.

I actually setup a Zaireeka listening session once with CDs.
Brilliant concept, however quite the pain in the ass.

Just bought Like Clockwork. Can´t wait.
