July 2019 Vinyl Challenge

Look we all get caught having low-key prejudices or not knowing certain things. Why is it such a big deal to get called out on it? No other way to learn. If you disagree just take my statement for what it is. I'm not sure what you're trying to change my mind about.

Hmm, this is a hard one for me. What all counts in the category of novelty? A Christmas record? A silly Zappa song? Picture disc? Any colored record? I don't have any funny shaped ones or chipmunks records yet.

Yeah, I’d consider any of those to be a novelty (less so on the coloured records because they’re a lot more commonplace now). Do you consider any of those to be a novelty, or which record in your collection do you consider to be the closet thing to a novelty based on your definition of it?

I spun this record because I like uniqueness of Jlin. It sounds like no other record in my collection, in a good way. The definition of the word "novel" has been cited several times. If you are unable to understand that, then I am sorry. I am not sure why you keep insinuating things about me, I am just trying to enjoy my day with good music. You are not helping me do so.

I've still got to catch up, so I'll think about it, but probably a cool picture disc is my most "novelty record". Etchings are neat too, but hard to show. I have the last Idles record which has like 16 different art prints you can choose the cover from, I suppose that's novelty.
 
Day 18 - Novelty
The Uncluded - Hokey Fright

This is actually the first record I bought, right before I was finally in a position to buy a system (with a real job). I think overall it is sort of a novelty package with the picture discs and How to Catch a Frog (Psychologically) (For Life) pamphlet. Great, charming album. As a bonus, it is mostly quiet, surprisingly for a picture disc.

Day 18 - Novelty

I don’t really have any unique “novelty” records, beyond a few etchings, so I’m gonna spin this one a different way.

On November 17, 2017 King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard did something no group has ever done. With their fourth album of 2017 Polygondwanaland, the band made the album free to the public in every way possible. Anyone could press their own variant, make their own cassette tapes/CDs with the masters the band threw out to the public, along with a folder full of artwork and images to go along with it.

And the album is pretty fucking unique in itself. I don’t think there’s an album this catchy using nonstandard time signatures and polyrhythms. In short, the album is a novel masterpiece. It’s also their best album.

This one is the fan pressing (#10/1000), but I also bought both Needlejuice variants but gifted them both away; I also own one of the half-speed remastered 45rpm presses (forgot which one), and also the Gruesome Twosome press with the different colored cover art—

Cool! I got that Kickstarter Aural Pleasure :rolleyes: one, cut by Ryan Smith. Took forever but it's a pretty great package.
