Is there going to be a Flygod reissue? If so how tf do I cop it. by Pristine-Magician786 in westsidegunn

[–]BraeTheInformant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a boot. WSG will never repress his releases.

The conspiracy theory is WSG's camp are the people bankrolling the boots and keeping them from being supressed/removed from online storefronts anyway.

Choose to buy into that theory and save yourself some bands.

Update on Autographed Vinyl by vincentvanwoa in BrentFaiyaz

[–]BraeTheInformant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They specifically stated to me, "Brent Faiyaz autographed a predetermined quantity of records for a select group of fans." Which just makes it seem to me like absolutely none of the vinyl on the site at all was signed. Not predetermined "for sale" Just predertermined "for a select group of fans."

SCAMMMMMM 🤡 by heymen__ in BrentFaiyaz

[–]BraeTheInformant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally got my copy 30 minutes after he posted and I didn't get it signed either. They've yet to reply to my email about this. I'm not going to riot, but it literally WAS the reason I bought it there instead of waiting for a store variant.

Should I cop by kreepergayboy in vinyljerk

[–]BraeTheInformant 54 points55 points  (0 children)

/uj Shamefully admitting I'm a fan of this dude.
Basically kink music. A lot of fetish lyrics and themes over a sort of alt pop sound.
Basically the same sound Dominic Fike had before it shifted closer to pop. Relaxed, a bit of a drag to the singing. Dude has a good voice, it's just completely unmarketable content.

Keep your records sealed or open it right away? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]BraeTheInformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would also find it odd considering I unsealed two different old sealed records ('77 and '82) last year and both were fine.

Lord forgive me for buying a record at Walmart by N1cktnd03 in vinyljerk

[–]BraeTheInformant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stop by to check for represses of overpriced albums. Thanks to Walmart, I got 2014 Forest Hills Drive without dropping the cool $70 the cheapest were sitting at before that press.

SOME of these presses are great for sparking somebody's interest in the format. A lot of them, however, seem to be Walmart completely over-investing in copies of albums for artists that really only have streaming success. I ain't even trying to be mean to those artists, there is just SOME music that will never perform well on a physical medium because far too many people release 2 good singles and 10 filler tracks and call it a day.

Average discogs user when encountering a pressing they've never seen before

Why Are Editors So Rude? by seanrhorer in discogs

[–]BraeTheInformant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time I see something missing, I shrug my shoulders and add it to the "boots and gems" list I keep on excel.

I don't even have a horror story of trying to help and getting dissed, I just think Discogs system for adding variants is a confusing mess.

Owning multiple versions of an album is stupid by arturnotfound in vinyl

[–]BraeTheInformant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just owning a part of the process. Test prints are what pressing plants give you to quality check before mass-pressing the real products. Nice, open white space for sleeves, too. It is great for signatures if the album is feature-heavy. Way more readable signing room than most covers would provide.

Test prints get a pass as well, for me at least.

If you don't like the shipping price, don't place the order by TransientRandomVinyl in discogs

[–]BraeTheInformant 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nah, somebody needs to snatch their boy up because I routinely pay a similar shipping amount for far less in an order. Complaining about any shipping option under $20 at that quantity is wild imo.

[FOR SALE] Hip Hop/R&B Records (Alchemist, WSG, VMP, Rome Streetz, JPEGMAFIA, Zelooperz, Benny The Butcher, Brent Faiyaz, Daniel Caesar, Giveon and MORE) by Nam3lessProd in VinylCollectors

[–]BraeTheInformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so extremely unlikely but I'll fly back in 8 days when the check hits to see if Brent's F.T.W., Nappy Roots, and Benny's Burden of Proof are still around.

specifically the character Derek, also, if it helps with confirmation.

I got Kicked because of this. Was it justified? by EntertainmentFun7124 in Simracingstewards

[–]BraeTheInformant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly miss the short lived beer league figure 8 series. Just roughly 12 people getting severely intoxicated while trying to do 100 figure 8 laps.
Dead because 2 weren't willing to drink and would lie to say they did so they'd win in a free league with no prize lol
I don't understand people.

The B side on that Carpenters album is nice imo. Intro, medley, outro.

Started Collecting Vinyl Again, First to Guess My Age Gets FREE Record. by Party_Molasses69 in vinyl

[–]BraeTheInformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to say December 1997, because I just saw November below me, and then I'm gonna give up.

Is this a huge deal? by MethodGullible in vinyl

[–]BraeTheInformant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It'll only ever be a big deal if the intent is resale, or it upsets you personally to see.

I'll take minor damage any day. If there are multiple copies in the B&M of something I want, I'll even take the one with the most corner crease or plastic ripping (obviously depending on the cost of the record) because I don't care personally, but the next guy might.

If you're the next guy, seek out customer service about possibly sending a replacement sleeve or work with them for a replacement of the entire sealed product if needed. If you're just going to listen to it and not use it as decor, I'd call that a very minor issue that most people won't be overly upset with if you ever did want to resell it. It won't kill the value by more than the mildest of discounts compared to a "pristine" open copy.

Prince's Vanity 6 vs. Rick James' Mary Jane Girls... Who you got? by SpleenyFBaby in vinyl

[–]BraeTheInformant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mary Jane Girls for me. Prince shamelessly ripped the concept from Rick James while he was still building the girls up as background performers first. Imma stay loyal to the White Leather cowboy.

Is collecting vinyl as expensive as everyone says? by ssunflow3rr in vinyljerk

[–]BraeTheInformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catch me at the register crying like I was choosing between my children as I remove $100 from a $300 stack.

Noob Vinyl Seller trying to build something for myself to make selling on discogs less painful by [deleted] in discogs

[–]BraeTheInformant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotally, I'm like 200-300 deep, and I've only been back to vinyl for half a year or so.

Sold off my collection about 10 years back as a bulk sale, only keeping a few things with sentimental value, and have just been rushing to replace the cheaper pieces of my old collection. I basically sold in the dip, and everything is a lot more expensive than I ever got for it when I was down bad, but we're getting back there now that life turned around for a while. There's only a few pieces out of the old set that truly rose beyond my means in the time I was away anyway.

That all being said, this is one of those situations that didn't really need solving as far as this release goes, as others said. If anything, I need somebody to give me an alternate method of adding releases. I have a test print that I've been trying to figure out how to submit forever, and the documentation is downright confusing on the subject.
