  • I love a Stoughton jacket feel, but the fact it wont fit in at least 1 of the 5 different sleeves from different companies I own seems really freakin ridiculous. Maybe we dont need these ultra thick sleeves after all.
    Never enough batteries! always more and more batteries (because every single rechargeable one is in something at the moment and for whatever reason a ton of christmas lights we ordered run off double AA's)!
    Are Odyssey record cases the one to get if you're traveling with records and want a hard shell?

    I used the smaller 100 count one when I moved for my more expensive albums that weren't box sets. Worked well. Only complaint is it has a unique smell that still is sort of there years later.

    I have a couple of these. Together they hold around 300 records with sleeves etc. I've moved several times with these and they can't be beat. They are fine for long term storage but are not great if you want to access your records regularly (maybe because mine are in closets).

    Also, I powerlift so I can move my Odyssey cases by myself :)
    Significant Other has landed in Jersey! Never thought I'd be glad to see Jersey pop up on my USPS tracker. Finally!

    If my SO went to Jersey I could listen to all the music she hates really loudly. 😆
    Getting more and more requests from people with low buyer stats on Discogs messaging me about stuff I have on sale. I know I put that verification there for a reason, but I’d also like to get rid of more records.

    You can lock anyone out of your store if their rating is too low. I just lowered mine to 92% because it felt like I was missing out on sales. Turns out I was!
    Promo clipped record sleeves are an automatic VG grade. Yay or Nay?

    Why not VG+?

    Promo cover grade should be a VG (at highest) by GM standards if it’s cut/punched/stamped. Record could grade higher, but it should always be specified that it’s a promo with the grade, regardless.

    @Sonicpharmacist probably because most promo notifiers are direct physical damage to the sleeve itself with the clip out the spine, hole punch or directly taking a whole corner with a diagonal cut. that to me feels a lot different than some light shelf-wear or ring wear that a VG+ would fall into.
    waiting for my copies of Blue Train to arrive like a nervous cat, just zoomies everywhere.

    These tip-ons were no joke. Three different sleeves I tried that couldn’t fit them. Ended up having to use the oversized ones and taping them down so they don’t swim in the bag.
    This new Mars Volta record is going to either be a love it or hate it thing. The dyed in the wool fan base might just hate it.

    Does Pitchfork give it an 8 or a 0. My money is on zero.

    a hard 5. they'll say its a brave choice to go firmly into a pop/adult contempo direction, but ultimately doesnt work, but in a very smarmy way with too many $10 words.

    I think its pretty good though. Nice solid record, super accessible.
    this Japanese reseller wasnt kidding, into month two officially on the 7th waiting for my copy of Significant Other. One day that status will change. One day.

    Weird. All my orders from Japan usually take a week or so to arrive, with DHL it's sometimes 48h.

    This was their last contact with me:

    The tracking of shipping by sea is not described in detail.
    When the parcel arrive in US Custom, the tracking is described "Arrival at inward office of exchange".

    I think it takes about 2 - 3months to deliver.


    so we'll see.

    seems a bit strange...my stuff from Record City usually arrives in about 48-72 hours once shipped. gets here quicker than media mail in the US haha. but not sure what your seller used to ship it...record city stuff doesn't go by sea.

    re-organizing my collection on discogs and properly tagging genres and stuff has led to me being very grateful for getting into collecting a lot earlier in life because some of the prices out there for records, dear lord.
    a discogs seller called me because he had never heard of the records being removed from the outer sleeve before shipping before... hmmmm

    most ppl don't ask but I do it anyways (except when sealed)

    Yeah I always ship that way too, no matter what…same with box sets.

    As a seller, I always ask people if they want me to unseal records and ship behind the sleeve if they are unopened. Most people lately ask me to keep it sealed because they want to experience opening the record themselves 🤷🏻‍♂️ If they are unopened I always ship behind the sleeve
    always the big gamble, how limited is that VMP Rap track going to be. I really want 6 Feet Deep, but to re-sign up though... eh.

    I went for the Gravediggaz, first R&HH in a while. I have the pic disc from 2018 and thought the quality was....ok. Hoping this one will be better
    I hate when you buy a record you’re really pumped for but zero of the entries on Discogs matches it. I’ve got various identifiers of like 4 different releases and 1 identifier that isn’t anywhere in any of the releases.
    is it just me or does including tracks on a album pressing not really intended for the album just something I dont ever want?
