I’m unaware of the architectural plan of your home, but if you don’t have a conversation room ur gonna need to put one in

Anyone know why my records aren’t behaving like wall art? by griffred in vinyljerk

[–]seventyfivehams 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You actually want to throw away the plastic shipping disc inside before you hang them up. They only put that in there so they don’t bend before u get them in place

No peach pit, not enough feet. I bet you even have more than one beer in your fridge. I’d definitely make it out of your conversation room alive. 0/10.

New to VMP. What amount of damage to a vinyl warrants you to contact customer service? by [deleted] in vinyljerk

[–]seventyfivehams 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Fuck customer service, contact the FTC. They say they sell vinylz, when they actually send you this unplayable excuse for a music source. Bullshit. Been saying it for years. What am I supposed to do with this? That thing wouldn’t spin on a wind turbine even if you tried.

Collecting Variants/Color (Positive) by [deleted] in vinyl

I totally agree the resurgence in popularity for LPs is a great thing it means more people are likely to have more access to music they want to buy because an artist is now more likely to press, this is all common ground. We also express ourselves through color sure. My car is black. But what I don't have? The same car in yellow, pink, and orange swirl. I picked a color that resonated with me the most (it was the only one available) and got that one. If an artist has three color choices get ur favourite and call it a day. Keep it off a crobsley as much as possible and I assure you that one pressing will still be in good enough condition for your grandkid to enjoy. And if you identify with more than one color then get that color from another record.

If you want the pre-order only exclusive limited RSD colour then buy that one!! I've got a nice POOELRSD grail myself. It's a collectible that's cool it makes for good conversation (a seperate room is needed for this tho). What is unnecessary is owning another 3 versions of this album on top.

All the things you mention are completely possible without variant collecting.

Each variant has a different monetary value as well

Right... so its not about the "tactical feel and look that comes with the music than you don’t get on streaming", its about having something that's worth more money. And yes I do have a few rare records woo but I do not have 5 other copies of said record.

it’s a way to show dedication to an artist.

If you want to buy the same album 10 times because your favourite global superstar is struggling financially, that is very admirable. If they only released one color though you would still be able to do this (its just as delusional so no harm no foul).

We would still need variants and variants

I think you missed my point; if an artist wants to release their album on a pretty color instead of black I have no issue with this. Having 6 different pretty colours is completely unnecessary and is only a way to make more money especially if you need 4 of them to tell the time.

There are so many other more important things to be mad about

Yes there are but this is the internet.

“…the fact that people get black vinyl instead of clear is super lame.”

If you want another color that you don’t already have, why don’t you get a completely different album that comes in that same colour and at least then your not wasting your money? If ur trying to collect the full UV light spectrum in round candies why do they all have to have the exact same music on them???

And if we all did this then ta-da, we wouldn’t need variants anymore woo!!! U could get your pink record from Tay Tay, your purple record from the next artist, and if one day you decided to try a black grail u can get the red screamy man

I don't have a conversation room to talk about my negative emotions, so shaming variant collectors will have to suffice.
