Vinyl acquisitions thread (rolling)

Cheers Badger, it really is a great sounding record, love the production on it. I may have to message WSR to quench my desire to know what that number squiggle is, haha. It’ll bug me, I know it.

@allisfulloflove, if it makes you feel any better the Discogs seller was overly generous with his Mint rating, plenty of scuffs and a couple of scratches. Needed a good spray and wipe to get his grubby marks off too. Hate it when sellers lie about condition, just be honest.

O4? I believe beer to have been consumed by the cover constructors during the construction of the covers…

Joe or Chris replied with a “crikey, no idea” haha then said Dave helped out so I’ve messaged him via the Haress messenger. I bet he doesn’t know either.

This is where the truth comes out, there’s actually more than there is Adele LPs!

Dave replied with “it’s either a shaky 1 or 2…1.5?”
I’ll never know if it’s numero uno now, haha.

Just bought this. Am obsessed by the album, and the original sold out straight away. Another example of the postage (from the US) costing more than the actual record.

just two today, Raspberry Bulbs and Slowdive - wasn’t happy about the price but it’s one of my favourite of all time

Boldy from Tuff Kong, De La from Rough Trade (I’ve got the green one on pre-order, but I couldn’t wait any longer to have a copy on vinyl).

Yesterday’s Crash Records purchases. Thirty two quid for the Enslaved vinyl broke my usual self imposed ceiling but at least it’s double vinyl in lovely blue marble. Although Fever Ray is red vinyl £29 is still bloody steep for a single album imo, just as well it’s such a good single album!

Bargain for the Ithaca, just picked up their latest one off their bandcamp. Love it.

Yes, it’s orange/white vinyl too. Certainly took a bit of the sting out of paying so much for the other two!

Went to my first ever record fair today! This one was very much geared towards the Mojo reader demographic but I still managed to find a couple of things I’ve wanted for a while……

How were the prices? Tempted by the Glasgow one in a week

Varied a lot between individual sellers. A couple outright took the piss with stuff costing more than they would at my local indie - eg. new Arctic Monkeys albums for £30 a pop. Most of them were very reasonable though. Paid £12 for the Macca and £18 for R.E.M. , which I’m more than ok with because they’re both out of print and I haven’t seen them in the wild for yonks.
