Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Fuck this makes me feel old. 20 years? I remember being excited to see them on a double bill with Preston School of Industry (Spiral Stairs' side band) in 2001. Those first three albums were awesome, but I haven't thought about The Shins in forever. Not getting the vinyl, but it's probably time to dust off the CDs.

I actually have the Newbury press of this one from a few years back, I'm not sure if this is from the same plates or not but it sounds REALLY good. But again, no idea if this is the same basic release...

This is supposedly remastered by one of the gurus not named Kevin Gray. Ludwig maybe? Whatever. I agree with @TCell I feel old. It's a really good album. I'll probably track it down at a local at some point.

CDs forever. I have ~1600+ CDs and only ~600 records. I mostly buy on vinyl at this point, but I probably listen to as many CDs as vinyl at home. When I go to music shops in the city (hopefully, I can do that again at some point soon) my music purchases are always expensive audiophile records and dollar bin used CDs. Best value pick ups at garage sales / pawn shops too (just make sure they're not scratched).

I'm actually thinking of selling off some of my vinyl that will forever be remembered as CDs for me. (Ready to Die, Odelay, The Score, Pinkerton, etc.)

If you're looking for a buyer for Pinkerton.


I'd also have bought Ready to Die if I didn't vastly overpay already and Odelay if I didn't hate Beck.

I have about 300-400 cds left (from about 1500). Mostly what I have left is not available on vinyl (or the bonus tracks aren't), has nice package or extensive liner notes, or I just couldn't get rid of them (lots of sub pop and matador promo copies). Should put together a list and put them up on the Intl PIF thread.

Yeah, the black repress I have from like 10 years ago was pressed at RTI and sounds great too.

Ya gotta love when you can find a good indie rock album that was cut and pressed well and is still readily available for around $15.

That’s the way I feel about lots of late 80s/90s/00s releases. They were conceived as CDs so the vinyl format can feel artificial.

Here in Knoxville we have this really surreal book store/used cd-video game/ lego / you name it Fellini store called McKay Used books (and weird shit) store. I would guestimate CDs around 10k in selection. I think I am going to go this route for a while.
 
So VMP updated their orders page. I almost panicked when I didn't see "Promises" showing up but then I realized I had to expand the filter beyond 3 months. Otherwise it's a welcome change. Definitely easier to see where things are at.
 
A couple of shipping estimates have also changed:

- Immanuel Wilkins is now in stock (was previously mid-June, and was mid-May before that)
- Crumb is now in stock (was previously mid-June)

Promises is still mid June :( Happy for you that those are in stock though as they're both showing up in stores.

Filters on the order page are still a bit wonky as I believe there's an issue where you try to apply multiple filters btw.

Hope you don't want a signed copy direct from the source. Expensive but not as bad as some of their titles. That Dead Boys this week was the one that was overpriced.
