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

I was honestly going to pay $80+tax for a copy of Broken Social Scene S/T because I've been burned a few times until thankfully my local managed to track down a few copies for $40.

Yeesh! Yeah I have a tough time paying double (or triple) the retail for things that will likely get repressed or reissued. There have been a few, where I feel like they are very unlikely to get repressed (The Brightblack Morning Light self-titled album for example) that I have paid extra but mostly I would just assume if I wait around long enough some sort of repress or reissue will come through. And if not, well, I’ve made it this long not owning it n vinyl, maybe it’s not meant to be. As hard as I try, I am never gonna own everything.

S/T is one of my favourite Indie albums from that period (I prefer it over YFIIP), and this store near me had a copy on display that was tempting me. I know TTL ran it awhile back but with shipping it would've probably been around the same. Luckily I had some restraint because I would've been kicking myself a month later when it came in at half the price.

It's OOP so I'm not sure how they managed to do it.

Yeah, that makes sense. You’d Think Arts & Crafts would do a better job of keeping some of their most popular albums in print. Especially in Canada. I recently paid $50 for Jason Collett’s Idols Of Exile because even though it goes for cheap (when it is available at all) overseas I never see US listing and I don’t know it it was ever a popular enough title that you would have TTL or VMP spurring on reissues.

I haven't thought about it yet. It's a maybe. I'm currently going through and listening to dupes and making sure I'm satisfied with what I keep. I am running out of shelf space on a 4x4 and 5x5 Kallax. I'm not going to relisten to the box because I remember it being really good. I'm gonna relisten through the 20th standard and make sure I'm satisfied. 'Cause that box set is space hungry and, while the instrumental album is nice, it isn't necessary for me. But honestly, it may be a bit as I'm going alphabetically through stuff and just begun.

If I do get rid of it, would $120 + free shipping work? That's below the lowest on Discogs. I checked my archives and I paid $90 for it in 2017. I have a Discogs store and would honestly list it for ~$220, but N&G fam gets deals.

Again, I don't know if I'm parting with it but I am leaning that way. If you think you'd like it, let me know and I'll DM you when I make the decision. If you want it, cool; if not, no worries and it will go up on my Discogs.

It should be NM/NM. I have it in a box set outer poly and the records inside in polys (+ RCM cleaning). I haven't spun it in a while but I can take a look at it to make sure I'm not misremembering that there is something wrong with it.

Can I be 2nd in line if @bdrummond passes on it?
 
Alright people, I keep getting sad emoji notifications about my post of me inviting that Discogs troll to N&G.

I was kidding. I did not and will not be inviting them.

UNLESS...all of you who put sad emojis KNEW it was a joke and are sad because you know I'm not inviting them and wish I would. Not to brag, but I have a 100% buyer rating on Discogs so an invite from me would carry a lot of weight. Okay...so I'm confused...invite them?

From all I've heard and seen the Supreme Clientele ship has sailed and sunk never to be reclaimed. That one will just be a matter of you swallowing spending a crap load for one of the existing pressings. I don't think there is anything holding back a Liquid Swords repressing at some point.

That's a funny story from what I have read. Includes them getting sued and Ghostface getting fired by his lawyer for non payment.

And in the end we all learned that we had a little Discogs troll inside each of us

Anyone have the VMP Billie Holiday Lady Sings The Blues ? Comments on quality of vinyl, pressing, sound especially?

I got it for $24 in their sale a month or so ago. It's been a month since I listened but I think it sounded good and I was kind of listening for the noise we've been getting and it didn't have that. I looked at the Discog reviews that were generally very good and I agree. I didn't ask for a replacement, so it's in the top 50% from VMP as of late.

I remember a couple of people saying they had some surface noise and had to ask for a replacement. But overall it was well received. My copy sounds fantastic.
