A question... Pretty much everybody replaces the inner sleeves after cleaning a record. I did so too after a friend with an RCM cleaned some of my records. However I do have a few records where I'd prefer to keep the original inner sleeve. Is it possible to clean the inner sleeve, and how would...

👍 Alright, thanks a lot. Then I'll head out to the next Ikea on the upcoming weekend...

I would have a question about Kallax. Since I'm also running out of storage space for my beloved records, I was thinking of getting a 2x2 Kallax shelf. However, this shelf would be in direct sunlight for about 2 hours every day, and of course I wanna protect my records as good as possible. So I...

I do have a 2012 WaxTime pressing of Moanin', and it actually sounds quite good, however not as good as my OG. And all DOL / Waxtime / Jazz Images /... pressings have quite good ratings on Discogs. I used to have a cheap unofficial pressing of Kind of Blue, I don't remember which label. You...

@TheMythOfSisyphus Thanks a lot for that. I was already looking to buy something like this, and after some research I encountered some home-made solutions. I already came up with a plan of a box, close to what LondonJazzCollector did, and then I encountered yours a few days ago. And today the...

I also couldn't control myself and ordered a copy of MMJ's new Art Blakey SRX, it should arrive here in Austria within the next few days. This will be my third pressing of one of my all-time favourite Jazz albums, besides a 1959 stereo OG and a pretty good sounding WaxTime release. Here a...

After my december records got shipped saturday (Aretha and Lucille), and seeing that they are actually really on their way today (according to tracking information), I finally cancelled my subscription today and I'm kind of relieved about that. Last months were horrible with this company, now...

I'm an international customer as well (Austria) and only been a member since march of this year. The first few shipments arrived quite early, but month by month now they arrive a few days later, no influence if having additional records shipped as well or only ROTMs. Nothing so far on my...

I'm only a member since march of this year, but already in those few months I had my fair share of issues. And now, my december records (Lucille and Aretha) have not been shipped out, an unanswered CS request from 2 weeks ago, a cancelled order (OOS) and weak picks for January ROTM and nothing...

I also need to get more BN80 and Tone Poets, the 2020 TP list is awesome. But the prices here in Europe are quite high, delivered to Austria/Germany. We don't have like the 30% on the Blue Note store or 20% Udiscover... I mean, Hank Mobley' Poppin for 20$, the cheapest presale I could find is...

Just came home from a great night. A few weeks ago I discovered that there's basically right around the corner a little live venue, that has Jazz and also some Blues live shows. Today I was able to witness Valery Ponomarev and his Quintet. Some real great Jazz live, including lot's Art Blakey's...

I also received my first 3 BN80 records in the last 2 weeks, but definitely not the last. Jutta Hipp, Hancock's Takin' Off and Hubbard's Hub-Tones. While the records itself are superb (quiet, flat, awesome sound,...) I'm quite disappointed with the packaging and quality control in general. All 3...

Hi, I'm looking for advice to upgrade my secondary turntable, a Pro-ject Debut Carbon Esprit DC with pre-mounted Ortofon 2m red. I've already borrowed a 2m blue needle from a friend, and although it improved the sound a tiny bit for my ears, I'm not 130€-happy with it (the price of the needle...

I'm sitting here in Austria, across the big pond from MM, so just sending the record back to MM would cost more then the whole BN80 version of it. Initially I was actually planning on getting the BN80 version, but I always just wanted to have one of those highly appraised MM releases, and when...

Sidewinder I got from Discogs, Somethin' Else from eBay.

A few weeks ago I asked you guys for some recommendations on good pressings for some albums on my wanted-list. Well, I got some of those now, and on some I went way over my planned budget. But I'm (mostly) very happy with what I got. I got a VG+/VG+ original first stereo pressing of Lee...

Thanks guys for your answers That sounds like a really good idea. So far I've only checked Discogs for those japanese pressings, and they do have quite a high price when shipping gets included. But I'll check eBay as well. I do have one japan pressing, which I got cheaply on a convention...

I hope this is the right place to add my request... I've received my first Tone-Poet pressing yesterday (Lee Morgan - Cornbread), and I'm stunned, the whole package is superb. The gatefold cover, the quality of the vinyl, and most importantely the sound. For me it is fantastic. I'm really just...

I hope it's gonna be a blues record (preferably chicago electric). The description of the classics subscription says "... Focusing on the genres of jazz, blues and soul ...", and the blues part is what I joined for mostly. And the last bluesy record was february, since then jazz, funk, soul...

Thanks @Selaws, I've already seen this thread. But since it's mostly Funk/Soul oriented I thought I might start a Blues-only thread here. The intention was to get a discussion started, with a lot of input to me what I could check out and listen to, but also general discussion what other people...
