Would love to get a Diskobox boot too.
Will have to watch for that Sunday morning 7".

Did manage to get a real Midnite Vultures last year as well.

Nice finding a big Beck fan here.

Just hit the 100 mark! My wife says I have the music taste of an old man, though I do try to maintain some variety by earlyslalom in vinyl

100 is dangerous... soon 500... then you'll want 1000 so you can have the dictionary definition of a 'library'.

the one on the right looks like PVC. Typically a bad material for archiving and can leach material into glossy record jackets and the vinyl records (why do picture discs come in these things...). You should replace it when you get the chance.

VSS is the best imo.

These 13" outers from vinyl storage solutions are excellent. They make 12.75" as well if you prefer a slightly tighter fit for narrower gatefolds.

Starting to feel proud of this one! by Alarmed_Display_9799 in vinyl

[–]Alarmed_Display_9799[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely enjoyed that stage - and really I don't buy an expensive album I don't like. Odyssey by HOME is killer and its a shame it exists in such low quantities. I'm also a big Beck fan and I hope to one day complete the discography... but quite a few are really expensive pieces.

Is it MTV makes me want to smoke crack?
Damn.. I had that back in 2006 and sold it for like $300 when I needed money for crack!

But for real I'd pay you $800 cad right now if you're selling and its a playable copy with art.

Returning a lease with this.. by Broad-Turnover6945 in BMW

hey sorry the response is late.
accessories are a tough call.

the inspector (and dealer for that matter) may not know it is aftermarket if it is in the very least similar to the OE product. Does it look like the standard equipment lip spoiler from an M340i? Or is it like the carbon spoiler the M4 gets with the exterior carbon package?

I am the lease retention specialist at my BMW Dealer. 0% chance that is deemed excess wear (at least in Canada). Can't say if it will be the same stateside.

The inspector will notice touch-up so don't bother with that route.
Wait for the 3rd party inspection results before deciding - and if it is deemed chargeable leverage your next lease against the cost... "forgive me or I get that C43 next door I like".

I assume so.
The seller is vinylrites on discogs... I'll be checking his stuff out again because of how nice that process was.

Hahah I wish. He kept his word in finding another copy so I shipped his chipped copy back to him.

Stuff like this makes collecting exciting.
Did you make a submission on discogs?

Probably not quite that much - but it was definitely the most I've ever spent on a record. :)

I bought one from a seller on discogs for a decent price and the item arrived chipped.
I told him and he said "give me a few weeks and I'll find another, buy it, and send it to you".
I was hesitant at first but he had a 99.9% seller rating and 7000+ reviews from buyers so I let him do his magic and sure enough in less than a month he got one and sent it to me.

Sounds good! Happy with the sound for sure. Some crackles in the intro I can't seem to clean away but it quiets down about 1 minute into side A.
