Man, it's amazing how many Rolling Stones albums they have on that site right now. Seems like they get in about 50 a day.
These look great!!

It's going to be dangerous if these 3 end up as good as I think they are from the needle drops.

That's how I feel every time I buy a few more jazz albums from them.

EX only.

EX media only over the last few orders. Preferably EX cover with Obi, but VG+ cover and no obi is fine too, depending on price and what's available.
I tried some VG+ Beatles early on and they were too dusty for me, so I stick to EX media now just to be safe.

Depends on the price really. I’ve picked up some VG+ stuff under $10 on there and had some great luck but if I’m paying a bit more EX. VG+ is a bit more of a risk, generally dirtier but I don’t mind that because I clean old records a few times before use and the ocassional hairline but, touch wood, nothing audible on anything that I’ve bought yet!

That Aretha sounds nice. I really like my copy. I wish the one they who shall not be named has wasn’t an exclusive, it’s an album that’s on my Aretha shortlist!

Are ya talking about Spirit In The Dark? I'm probably going back to Notts in June at some point if you want me to pick up a copy and bring it over. Not sure how much it would cost to ship to you from Notts but assuming it's cheaper than from here!

Seriously? If that’s cool I have an address in Notts that I can give you and have it brought over from or that I can pick up from depending on when they’re here or I’m there.

Okay, I thought this would be as good of a place as any to share this. I wasn't sure to just laugh or cry by this situation, however I thought it might provide me a little catharsis and maybe a little humor for you guys.
Few weeks back I finally snagged one of my whales. Sealed copy of DSOTM 30th Anniversary.
Immediately upon receiving I could barely contain my excitement. Tearing through the shipping box and carefully slicing the shrink wrap revealed a Mather-esque warp. Noooooooo! After a few moments of self-reflection on my life choices and contemplation if I wanted to soldier on with this stupid hobby, "no problem I'll just Vinyl Flat it"....
...90 minute timer like I have done countless times...@#$!!! melted the crap out of it.
More self-reflection and sulking and then off to Discogs to find a NM opened copy. Please note the date important for the next part. We all know what happened the following day.
and now country of origin.
Who knows if I ever get it and at this point I really don't care. Thoughts and prayers with the brave and courageous people of Ukraine you are an inspiration to us all.

Thanks! That’s really sound! And yeah whatever suits you best, im in no rush and my dad and brothers are over here pretty regularly so it’s almost as handy to have something sent to them and have them put it in their car when they get the ferry over!

I can also hide it in the stacks at Rob's Records for ya if you prefer!
My father-in-law's sister told me yesterday that she has heaps of original UK Stones, Beatles, etc albums and they are all mine if I want them. No clue on condition but will definitely be raiding those next time I'm over haha.

Erm! Pass
Oh wow! That’s pretty awesome! My cousin started collecting vinyl before me so he mopped up most of what was left from my dad and my uncles. That and as kids my dad and his 3 brothers shared one room and so their older vinyl is pretty much universally fucked.
