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

Her label did her dirty - they're the ones that fucked everything and she's the one who gets all the flack.
It was insanity.

This is going to be in thrifts/antique stores for ages as one of those things you know you're going to find whenever you peruse the record section, like Herb Alpert and Tubular Bells.

EDIT: Tying this back to VMP looks like they still are sitting on 38 copies. Actually a lot less than I thought.

I definitely bit too soon. Thought I got a decent price and have definitely seen it for way cheaper since. But I really wanted it and got it for a fair bit below SRP when I did

Hey, ain't criticizing you for getting it.
I ordered 3 Feet High and Rising directly from De La's website and that ended up being like a $30-40 mistake...(not making the same mistake with De La Soul is Dead - preordered from Amazon this time around).

It's just insane how much they flooded the market with this one. Seriously overestimated the demand.

EDIT: I didn't factor in the insane duties I got hit with. Yeah, let's not talk about it anymore.
 
Pulled the trigger on Dudley. I love that album and it’s been on my “get on vinyl one of these days” list since forever. I’m sure I could find a used copy for like $10 if I looked hard enough but still…

I like Free Jazz, but I’m not sure if it’s worth pulling the trigger on. My wife despises free jazz (the genre) so I can definitely see this one becoming another “Music to Annoy Your Old Lady By” in my collection.

I love how everyone has a section in their collection that's exactly this

“Music to Annoy Your Old Lady By”

Some showstoppers in my section are:

McCoy Tyner - Sahara
Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep
Jim Sullivan - UFO
Joe Henderson - Elements
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Neal Francis - Changes
Karma - Pharoah Sanders
ANY SUN RA lol
Tallest Man In The World - Wild Hunt

Those are all guaranteed to get me dirty looks from the dining table.

That dudes voice and the hot mastering on that record makes her want to claw her eyes out and flashbang her ear drums. I'm stuck standing in the middle of the living room saying things like:

"But listen to his lyrics, they're so beautiful!"
"Listen to that guitar playing, so serene and calming!"
"Wow, isn't that a pretty melody?"

She doesnt buy it

my dog loves to lay and listen to records with me and the one time I played this, I thought she was going to murder me. Howling at the stereo, running around the room obviously disturbed. Never seen her act like that before or since. Immediately wound up in the trade pile.

My wife, cats and dog all hate/fear Tom Waits. There is a lot of growling at the speakers when I put on one of his records.
