Vinyl

I couldn't care less about audio quality, mp3 and flac sound exactly the same unless you have an expensive setup.

Best New Wave album of all time.

You dont collect vinyl fo the audioquality, but because it feels nice to put one on as opposed to just pressing a button and also because building collections is fun. If neither of that appeals to you you went in for the wrong reasons

Have less than ten, but my favorites are Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion and a Belle and Sebastian EP with my favorite song by them.

>building collections is fun
This is the reason I went in, it's just such a waste of money when I don't actually listen to the records, It's essentially paying £20-30 just for a picture.

one of the five test pressings for the first pressing of inalienable dreamless. recently also bought that lingua ignota/the rita split and had no idea it was limited to 300

people speak of the "ritual" of dropping the needle and the whole collecting aspect but i think those are the wrong reasons to buy records.
the most compelling reason i find is the large amount of music trapped on records, and DJing is a lot more fun. today though, shitty record stores are charging stupid prices for even the most beaten up landfill-tier vinyl, its like the retro video game boom.
only the rich, the lucky, and the stupid "collect" records in 2019.

Anyone have experience selling vinyl online? I recently agreed to help someone that I know sell some stuff that he inherited on eBay, but I want to know I would have better luck selling on another site, like Discogs or Reverb LP. Most of this stuff is "old people" stuff from the 50's & 60's that most people here wouldn't necessarily find interesting (big band music, jazz, stuff like that), but some of the stuff is first pressings & seems to have some value when I check the prices that it has sold for on Discogs, and most of it is very good condition.

what makes one "vinyl" better than another "vinyl"
I enjoy my balkanton records, they have funky covers, are dirt cheap, and while most of them are fairly boring, occasionally hold some good shit which probably doesn't exist on any other format.
unless it's sought after (old people stuff rarely is), rarity doesn't matter unless you're fine with holding onto it for ages.

>what makes one "vinyl" better than another "vinyl"
how many times you've put it on

original Baby Huey Story got it for 50 buck because my local record store is a cool dude who just wants to share his giant collection and stuff. He had it on while I was shopping and I asked if it was for sale, and then he made a bunch of excuses as to why he should give it to me for a "Good price". Media is near-mint, but it has a blob on the back where someone obviously wrote their name in sharpie, and then someone else obviously tried to remove the name.

It's probably New York by Lou Reed signed by him

I don't know about best, but this is definitely my my most expensive.

the more niche the stuff you're selling, the more discerning the people who are going to be buying it

selling vinyl on discogs means getting lowballed and harangued with questions about authenticity, quality grading, etc

always grade super conservatively

My most valuable is either Loveless, Floral Shoppe, or a promo copy of Master Of Reality.

Currently spinning the inferior US version of Revolver because I haven't been patient enough to order a clean UK pressing online.

How much money does your friend make?

Getting retail margins on a collection is time consuming and takes effort. That’s why it’s a business. But the spread over wholesale is significant.

So if it’s worth hours of your friends life to make a few hundred extra bucks, then I guess go for it.

Collectors vinyl goes for high prices, but 99.9% of what’s out there isn’t collectible. It is bulk priced junk that stores only hold onto on the hope that someone’s nostalgia kicks in and they overpay.

>putting protective sleeves on butt rock vinyls

Market thinks these are the top 3... but I’d sell these over some others.

damn i'd kill for any of those, those 3 also form a surprisingly cohesive aesthetic

Vinyl is retarded, I just listen to youtube topic channels now

I've got a copy of the White Album on white vinyl. Still have the poster and all the leaflets it came with.

Yeah, it's very comfy. I'm glad I became a Taterbug fan before he got more popularity. I have two of his cassettes, been scouring for the rest of his work.

I'm pretty sure they repressed the OTGW soundtrack not too long ago. Not sure if that's still available from Mondo. I'm sure it's cheaper either way now though.

rex the dog show picture vinyl

they got mobile fidelity inner sleeves too :^)
