really nice collection! my jazz spines look a lot like this—fewer outers than in my other sections, reflecting the fact that a lot of my jazz pickups over the years have been at garage sales, estate sales, thrifts and vintage stores, rather than record stores where they are almost always priced...

feels like king gizzard should start selling branded cubes at this point

ok this first name alphabetical order stuff is bonkers. i hope you don’t file all of the artists that start with “the” together!! the weirdest sandwich here has to be american football➡️ amon amarth ➡️antonin dvorak

that “fight club” OST spine is an unusual one—looking it up on discogs, i see the vertical obi bears an epigram that hits a little too close to home: "We buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like." 😳

excluding box sets: since last time, some noteworthy changes: the value on miles davis IASW and BB plummeted (for obvious reasons); jean dawson and an original slowdive "pygmalion" came up substantially; OG US "supreme clientele," "surfer rosa," and "raw power" shot up; and i finally sourced a...

The shrine of a true acolyte!! What was your first Sun Ra LP? Mine was an old Scorpio-type pressing of Other Planes of There. Such a daunting discography… I found the Aye Aton book in my office at the museum where I work. We had one of his paintings on display (with black light!) last year—I...

I can’t be the only person on here who never sees a photo of some record shelves without feeling the urge to zoom in and scan the spines. I’ll cruise Facebook Marketplace for record shelving, just to linger on the unlikely discovery of an obscure Scott Tuma LP among the contents, or pause the...

ended up buying a couple things from plaidroom, though i got enthusiastic and bought a couple things that I'd have found for cheaper with a little patience.

bargain hunting for deep 80s/90s cuts led me to the website of, um, "big dawg records" on washington's bainbridge island (making them one of the northwesternmost record stores in the CONUS!). with no sales tax to IL and a first-order-free-shipping coupon, i probably could have claimed a couple...

from 1234go, I picked up the adverts "crossing the red sea with..." 2xLP, the avey tare/panda bear "spirit they've gone" 3xLP reissue, tortoise "standards" and a lungfish LP, plus cheap used clikatat ikatowi and libraness records which i've been after for a while. almost pulled the trigger on...

young marble giants - colossal youth

les echos de bellefonds -- trompes de chasse (hunting horns) does what it says on the tin — nonstop epic hunting horn fanfare recorded in a reconstructed 12th-century french church. probably one of the hardest records in my collection. from the liner notes: "Lulled since childhood by the...

donny hathaway - everything is everything (vmp pressing) great sounding record.

lync - remembering the fireballs (part 8) looooooongtime want, though i inexplicably passed on a $14 copy at the most expensive record store in highland park about a decade ago. this was a bit more than that, but still a rare eBay deal (although seller shipped this in a flat priority mail box...
