This. Before coloured vinyl was quite so common I had a flurry of purchases on eBay of various albums and 12"s. Now I’ve added them to discogs some of the prices they’ve gone for have shocked me! Eg. I got a clear vinyl promo version of Nirvana’s In Utero, can’t believe I’d have paid more than £20 for it, highest sale price on discogs? £428! At around the same time for around £20 a mint green version of Bleach, on discogs, £239! :astonished:

Not so much a blast from the past but, quite funny since it’s currently MIF and also we went to the new exhibition at MOSI the other week

Got the Closer vinyl from the exhibition as well

I have that green vinyl Bleach, kindly scratched by my little brother when he decided to play turntablist with my records while I was away at uni!

Oooh, has he ever been forgiven or do you bring it up at every opportunity? :slight_smile:

I sold my clear vinyl of In Utero not that long ago. Not a promo copy though. Was a nice interaction on discogs actually, a long time fan who was genuinely thrilled to have a copy. Spent a fair bit of time taking photos, recording audio clips etc and I sold it at the lower end.

I’m just not sentimental about these things and I’d bought the 45rpm version that I was blown away by.

Oh, I bought these too. Remember they were about £40 each, which I thought was super expensive at the time!

An apt one today following the HGATR thread, only listened to it a couple of days ago.

A band that a lot of people here like, but I’ve never got into them. Probably picked this up in a six singles for a fiver deal from Polar Bear records in Manchester, when that was a thing.

OK, now this is a great album. Fairly sure that, despite being aware of The Delgados due to the Evening Session/Peel, I’d never actually properly listened to them until this album. I then went back and picked up Domestiques and Peloton. Great band, was lucky enough to see them live before they disbanded:

Yeah I bought Young Machetes on CD years ago due to the high praise on here but couldn’t get on with the vocals tbh.

Solid late 90’s indie-pop.

Need to start listing all of my records. Nice one today though. Love Chrome.

Today I get…

Skipped sixth form, went to HMV Cardiff Queen Street for when it opened, bought this on CD and 10" single. I may not even have had a proper record player. We were a bit sucked in by the whole deleted on the first day of release thing. I liked it at the time, there were all these hints they were turning away from the sound of This Is My Truth which was partly right I suppose.

Freebie 7" from a gig at the Pink Toothbrush in Rayleigh, Essex, way back in 1991 when I was a stoned 19 year old at the front of the low stage with a friend called Julie who I really should have asked out proper as she was gorgeous and into me but I didn’t know how because I was shy and always a bit stoned.

It really is crackin’ isn’t it. I was like maaaaaaaaaaan, splitting it over records is a pain, and then listened and was like “ok” :smiley:

Pretty good this one. Picked it up when they toured together and we supported them on a date. (Which must have been 2009…christ!) Sound was rubbish but i’ve always had a soft spot for Ramesses (probably due to a deep love of Electric Wizard) and Unearthly Trance are great. Not the best material from either band though, and another bloody 10".

I’ll have a smoke after work and listen to it in the sun :smiley:

Both bands worth checking if you’re not familiar and you like sludgy doom!

I have the CD of this. Felt really exciting when it came out.
