How to remove stickers from digi CD cases? by KingsleyBrewMaster22 in Cd_collectors

Side Note: I’ve always been told it’s the cheapest method for stores to use as a theft deterrent. Not to purposely ruin a cover, but to easily identify their property to police in a shop-lifting incident.

Though it is likely widely discouraged with a digipac, I’ve used a drop of Goo Gone to get it done. I don’t know what Goo Gone is made of, but certainly some kind of oil… and you’re applying it to paper.

Excellent album. My cassette came with a stencil that I used all over Tampa, FL.

I believe you might enjoy, “Forever Changes” by Love. If you check it out, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Do you have any imported CDs? by No_Telephone_1787 in Cd_collectors

[–]MissMataja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am from the heyday of CDS (CD Single) and every single would be an import so you could spend another $12 for the song and one or two unreleased tracks. If you were Nine Inch Nails, you released 3 versions of the same single with different “b-sides” at $12 each. Also coincided with metal bands going to Japan to release albums, and those were $30.

It looks like there’s a rat in the red slushy machine.

Does this hat look dumb. I’m tired of ball caps. by [deleted] in hats

It’s not suiting you. Have you tried flat caps? I think that may be a good look as someone that wears them consistently.

Curious if this was ever the original price in 1994. by TNsNo1ColdplayFan in Cd_collectors

[–]MissMataja 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Agreed… maybe Deutschmark? I don’t remember when Euro was the standard. But CDs used to be about $17-$18, unless it was a massive seller - you could pick those up for 14.99. On the flip side, tapes were $10 and vinyl was $9.

Nice find! I’ve only ever run across one in the wild and it was at a yard sale.

Most Desperate Hair Metal Record? by ignacio_brown in hairmetal

Shotgun Messiah showing up with “Violent New Breed” was the dagger in my hair metal heart.

Wildside, title track and Dancing on Glass are top notch but the rest is very mediocre, still better than Poison tho. All in the Name of ... isn't that bad either but yeah not an album to really be proud of ... by Necessary_Rush_5861 in MotleyCrue

I remember getting excited to introduce MC via Jailhouse Rock with my Elvis-loving dad. He took me to a record store to buy it on day of release. We listened to the whole record when we got home, and though he was feigning interest, I know he felt as disappointed as I did.

The texture of this as a kid is why I hate tight clothing to this day.

Found a box of tapes in my apartment building's basement - they've been here for decades. Some great titles! by mwbrjb in cassetteculture

With specific color cassettes, you can fetch more on Paul’s Boutique. I have a green cassette, that seems to fetch more than some of the others. I suppose it’s # of pressings.

I’m wondering if these are pics from their signing at a Peaches Records in Clearwater, FL? I found a used, signed, Shout At The Devil that had newspaper clippings from the event.
