Saaaaammmmmeee.
When Goodwill was selling records for 50 cents, Salvation Army and other thrift stores usually had each album priced at $1. If I wanted to be fancy, I could go to the used music store. But this was 20 years ago and God am I old....

Probably a third to half of my collection is from this guy that was at a flea market in NYC. Every single album was $2 regardless of condition or what title it was. I got an OG mono pressing of A Love Supreme from him for $2. Spent a ton of time digging there to weed out the scratched records, but got a lot of great stuff in good shape. I think I spent $10-$20 there every other weekend for a year or two. Went into a record shop yesterday and they were charging $40 for a used copy of More Songs about Buildings and Food that wasn't even a first pressing. It's absolutely mental. Becoming harder and harder to find good deals on used stuff...it's kinda like when I was growing up and I'd see people selling regular copies of Beatles albums for $40 just because it was The Beatles...but that has spread to almost every artist now with used records.

My local is pretty fair with used pricing even with them using discogs as a rough pricing guide. They almost always price below discogs median now. But some of the prices in these places is insane.

you think it'll be that expensive? says limited to 3 per person which also makes me think it might not be THAT limited...

I kind of think so based on the description, plus proceeds are going to Newport Festivals Foundation.

This limited edition 2-record set will be pressed on premium 180-gram vinyl and housed in a deluxe Stoughton old-style tip-on gatefold jacket.

I've somehow never heard of Pixel Grip, but wow, do I absolutely love this.

The last Newport Folk Fest pressing was the "A Change Is Gonna Come" live show and that worked out to $55 shipped for a 2 LP. I'd be surprised if Prine is much off that in either way.

Damn. was wondering what the last pressing they did was and how much it cost. Probably a bit too steep for my blood. I'm a big Prine fan but with so many reissues of his work coming out, will probably spend that money on some other reissues instead. can't buy em all!

Light Years: A book from The National & Graham MacIndoe
​
Light years chronicles Scottish photographer Graham MacIndoe’s 20-year relationship with The National through newly published images, essays and quotes from members of the band. Graham took The National’s first official publicity photo in 2001, back when they were friends working in creative careers, lost touch with the band as their lives took very different paths, then reconnected in 2012 just as Trouble Will Find Me was released. Since then, Graham has documented recording sessions for The National’s last three albums and a multitude of gigs and rehearsals, capturing life in the studio, backstage and on the road. Graham’s black-and-white photographs provide a unique and intimate view of the band and their interactions with each other, their crew, family, friends and fans. The book is accompanied by a vinyl album of songs selected by Graham and Scott Devendorf from The National’s September 2018 performances at Forest Hills Stadium in New York.

In 2019 Christian Savill found himself alone and with a year off from playing guitar for his grown-up band Slowdive. He started writing and demoing songs with no particular plan. From 2001 he had recorded with longtime friend and collaborator Sean Hewson as Monster Movie releasing several albums on Graveface Records. These new ideas felt different in that they’re more personal and honest.

Christian sent these sketches to good friends and multi-instrumentalists, Ryan Graveface (Dreamend / The Casket Girls) and Steve Clarke (The Soft Cavalry), and Beachy Head was formed. Ryan and Christian put flesh on the bones in Savannah just before Covid struck. Matt Duckworth (Flaming Lips) added drums. In between lockdowns back in the UK Steve added harmonies and other instrumentation. The final touch of recording was Rachel Goswell (Slowdive / Mojave 3 / The Soft Cavalry / Minor Victories) contributing vocals on a few songs.

No disprespect to the National, but impeccably timed to siphon as much stimulus $ as possible from variant collectors 🤣
