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

    I got my shipping order late last week, but I'm also international so there's a chance you guys will get yours before me regardless :cautious: :ROFLMAO:

    2 of the 3 are pretty obscure British jazz titles to be fair, I would be surprised if anyone here was familiar with them. The middle of the 3 is a Ronnie Scott album, his club is quite well known here in London. Really fun haul, looking forward to digging in.

    "Yogetsu Akasaka–a beatboxing Buddhist monk and handpan player from Japan" Not a sentence I imagined I would read today.

    Well worth it for a tenner! Weirdly, I listened to mine again for the first time in ages just the other night!

    A year or 2 ago I decided to skip RSD and pick up bits much later on if/when the price drops. I'm really glad I got off the train because one of my locals have dropped their list and the prices are eye watering. £70 for the 2LP Sun Ra release £55 for the 2LP Cannonball Adderley release £38 for...

    Definitive Audiophile pressings

    Those albums on the shelf are both really interesting. The Jazz Couriers looks to be the 2010 Speciality pressing, which is a needle drop. I cant imagine it sounds that incredible as a result. The Fela Soul is a bootleg from Amerigo Gazaway, his releases are so much fun, but bootlegs (blocked...

    I bought the box set back in 2017 when an online shop put them on sale. I paid £90 for it back then and I still can't believe how much it goes for now. Crazy to think that just a few years ago the sale price for an 8-album (15-disc) box set, with a book, and slip mat, was just £90!!

    Book 8: The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov (Penguin Books Ltd, 2000) This was an interesting read. Really captivating at times and chaotic at others. Im still not sure what I think about it.

    "Not the other way around" is a hard position to take and I think it's a bit of both. Sure, some audiophiles will buy a release without a focus on the music but of course, the music plays an important role in that decision-making process. The conversations that I've seen here regarding the Pablo...

    Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

    Its very annoying and something that I have noticed for a long while. Kind of makes the overall collection 'value' redundant. The change in currency definitely plays a part. I will randomly note down the current median of some of the bigger records in my notes and will often see it change...

    Discogs - Help, Tricks, Secrets And Tips

    Has anyone noticed the low - median - high price of a record highlighted in your 'collection' differing from the low - median - high price shown on the release page statistics? I know Discogs isn't the most accurate representation of a collections 'value' anyway, but in some cases i've seen...

    When it comes to the question of reissues I always go with the viewpoint that if the demand wasn't there, they wouldn't be reissuing them. I have to admit that I don't know a whole lot about Chad, but I imagine he has enough experience in the industry to be able to know whether a reissue series...

    I control the office Sonos (quite literally had to change the password to stop other people getting in there) and Don Blackwell always goes down a treat when I play his album!
