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

My membership expires I think in 2 months. Then I’m out for awhile until at least the new plant opens and I see what titles they are pressing and what the quality is like. If they press a classics album I like I might dip back in but I haven’t done longer than a 3 month sub in a really long time.

Mine was set to expire at the end of January but I had a bunch of store credit that I converted to membership credit so I'm in for three more months and then will reevaluate.

Excited for Air! I just sold my GITD version for $60 so that covers like a month and a half of VMP.

I got Ghost of Fashion and Your Favorite Music. YFM is the VMP. Ghost of Fashion was purchased straight from Sundazed (they have a deal where if you spend over $50 you get a free test pressing). Both BoomBoom cuts and sound great. Really like the bonus side of cover songs on each album. Not sure where they are pressed. Came with weird inners I haven’t seen before (totally clear and almost like outer jacket material)

Good to know. BoomBoom knows his way around 80s and 90s indie rock

Yeah it’s the first time I had ever seen inners like that.

Yeah sundazed have been in those recently. I don’t like them.
 
They used to use the rice paper/poly sleeves like a mofi sleeve. These things are weird. I always change inners but sundazed records are getting opened when they hit the door and getting out of those things.

I’ve had mixed experiences with some shop owners. My favorite shop in NYC was called In Living Stereo. One guy who worked there would always recommend other artists and albums based on what I brought up to the register. Then he’d spin some of the ones he picked out for me. More often than not I’d end up leaving with another record or two. There was another shop near where I lived called The Record Grouch which was very aptly named.

Is Human Head still operating? Best record shop I visited while I was there a few years ago.

Yea they should still be there! Good shop. Academy Annex in greenpoint was another one of my favorites. Very fair prices for used stuff, paid great prices for records as well. Always interesting records and a great mix of rock and jazz on the walls at all times. On RSD They would do the RSD stuff but also put out tons of rare used stuff for awesome prices. Their Manhattan location gets insane rare jazz stuff in all the time
