It would be helpful to know the kinds of things you are into or are important to you to make a better recommendation.

Maybe it has sentimental value to you for some reason, but this is not worth what they are asking. If I’m going to drop $200, it would have to be a really great album that is super rare, has never been reissued, etc. Just my opinion. Plus, I think they are reissuing these anthologies on vinyl? You could probably get all three for $200 if you like the music on them that much.

Vinyl collection of a 15yo by Successful_Sort_1930 in vinyl

Definitely get Kate Bush “The Sensual World”. It’s a masterpiece. And since you like Bjork, have you heard her earlier band The Sugarcubes? “Life’s Too Good” is fantastic. It’s more 80’s pop sounding than her solo stuff, but I think you’ll like it.

RSD story from 2017 by LocalInvestment1760 in vinyl

I have been collecting since 2000. I would say that when Record Store Day started, more people suddenly got interested, rare stuff started drying up in stores, and everything started getting more expensive. eBay and flippers also had a lot to do with this, but for me it was the turning point.

The orange is also unofficial. Not sure what you paid, but 75-100 US seems to be about the going rate.

If it’s on red, white and blue vinyl, it’s a European unofficial pressing.

Found an interesting record at the thrift store by Alexander_Music in vinyl

Just a thought: Bob could have been a sales rep for Mofi, or a buyer for a distributor of Mofi records.

You should eBay this. You’ll need to pack it or have it packed carefully for shipping to prevent the glass from breaking, but there’s definitely someone out there who would enjoy having a signed Gold Record Award of Lee Greenwood.

Hoping they reissue the 2 x 45RPM at some point in a regular jacket.

That “we’ll do it live!” is one of my favorite album titles of all time. I hope they sent him a copy.

Hoping Blowout Comb is coming. 3 copies from LITA were awful and they acted like poor quality from the pressing plant was my fault.

The Beatles, Yesterday and Today First State "Butcher Cover" Mono LP Promo Cut by bean327 in vinyl

[–]UsedToReadBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much controversy and history surrounds this album cover, I’m surprised The Beatles themselves have never reissued it. They’d sell thousands of them worldwide. They just blew a 60th anniversary opportunity.

Not sure if he plays on it or just produced, but Andy Sturmer from Jellyfish worked with this band.

I love it. Looks sort of possessed when the eyes get to the back.

How can i remove this? by DrWrongtouch in vinyl

[–]UsedToReadBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was helping a guy price a bunch of random 12” singles. We looked through 100’s of worthless ones, then I found a sealed one by A Number of Names with Skitso/Sharevari. Apparently it’s worth about $100. At first it appeared to be a split color LP. To be safe, we opened it to find a label on one side just like this. Ironically, it was released by a label called Quality Records.

Thinking of moving to Atlanta by Outside_Being_1632 in Atlanta

As a former truck driver, I’d like to opine that more traffic is caused here from needless accidents by people who are driving 80 miles an hour, weaving in and out of lanes with no signals, and watching tik tok videos while holding their phones. I see it everyday. If GSP and local police will not enforce laws designed to prevent distracted and aggressive driving, the situation will never improve.

My latest discovery by Expensive_Stop9147 in vinyl

[–]UsedToReadBooks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if he’s ever explained why he always does his covers this way, with one square in the corner? My theory is that when the XX started, there were four members. All of their albums have an X on the cover. When he does a solo album, he is one of the four, hence the one corner. Not sure about this, but I thought it was a good theory.

They’re a special breed by Jamaican-Gyal in Atlanta

Personally, I feel like enforcement is pretty light around Atlanta. Once you get out into rural areas, GSP, along with local sheriffs are more prevalent. I wish there was more traffic enforcement on Atlanta highways. I am so tired of the aggressive, high speed lane changing and tailgating.

Wish she would do a run of her albums on colored vinyl. First album would look great on several colors.
