Pre-Order Thread

I went to a record pop-up one time and this guy was trying to sell me 500 7" for $50. I knew I could easily make that back, but it just pained me to think about all the cleaning, researching, listening (my back hurts thinking about all the flipping), and eventual selling that would need to occur. I love the hobby, but not 500 7 inches love.

I definitely went overboard when I got the jukebox but the jukebox was free. My buddy moved to LA from NY and left it behind for me. A lot of the 45s were $2 and under from flea markets and such. I bought someone's entire LP collection once and she had about 200 45s that she didn't want to deal with so she gave me all of those for free hah. I actually had a lot of fun looking them all up and putting into discogs but I hardly ever play them now. The jukebox is in storage too for now as I can't lug it up to the 2nd floor of an apartment building in NYC. But I started to do some maintenance on it. I think my plan will be to eventually update it a tiny bit, replace speakers, etc. one day once I'm settled in somewhere.

Mine isn't nearly as nice as the one @Max Sterling posted but it has a pretty solid 70s charm to it.

Yea--I didn't dare post it on reddit but figured it was okay to post here since a lot of people were asking about it on here the other day. Someone posted it on reddit and it sold out within minutes.

Oh I know nowadays with these forums the "secret codes" are pretty much useless. Just found it funny that others got theirs like 30 minutes before I did haha think my email was time stamped around 12:57 and it was gone by like 12:30 lol

I like sevens. I think it takes a different kind of listener. It’s also a different kind of listening session. Having the seven flipbin has greatly increased my actual spinning of them.

Also having a direct drive TT helps. It would be a pain in the ass to switch the belt over every time ya wanted to listen to a 45. I am lazy AF and any extra step beyond pushing a button would cause me to not spin a 45 most of the time.

7"ers are like baseball cards to me. Pick 'em up, look at 'em, trade 'em with your friends, stick one in your bike spokes to make a cool sound. But that's about it.

Kellee Patterson Maiden Voyage LP

As purportedly the first Black-owned jazz imprint since the '20s, the Black Jazz label had its roots in the Black Power movement of the late '60s and early '70s. But not every album on the label had a social message. Kellee Patterson's Maiden Voyage was simply an extremely tasteful, mellow jazz...

If you ordered from VMP, you could cancel and pick up the version at Real Gone if it's still in stock. I had Coral Keys on preorder and cancelled it through VMP and ordered through Real Gone a few weeks back. I know they sold out of a few of the clear/black swirls now though at Real Gone...but VMP cancelled and refunded within 24 hours.

Thats my dream. To someday have a jukebox housing a ton of my 45s. Not today.

Ha, so does that mean what they sell will also be warped? :oops: Strange choice for a video. Kinda reminds me of a lyric insert I was reading yesterday that had so may typos and grammatical errors I found it hard to enjoy the record!
