[Skalap]

Not as many grabs as usual but, quality ones are the best.

Thanks to @soulsteprecords for this masterpiece.

Thanks @Plaid Room / Colemine

Listening to Parker Louis now, really good I'll see if I can grab a copy here in France. Black Pumas' already in the wantlist. Great grabs!

Was there a way to get a coloured variant locally or did you have to import it?

Edit: I see jpc.de has a "coloured" edition - do you think it's this one or something else?

I strongly guess jpc will have the red one, just like hhv. I was tempted to order from ATO, but shipping was as expensive as the record itself so I preordered from jpc.

I guess Red is cool too, seeing Colemine had Red/Black which to me is the best variant then.

My first Wax Mage vinyl. Looks nice.

 

[EmeryRK]

Very nice - and it seems you Americans can prematurely enjoys your Black Pumas while us Europeans will have to wait until friday. The ATO color variant looks fantastic in the mockup, would you mind sharing a picture of the actual record and maybe the signed poster that came along?

I took a picture of it and put it in the Colemine thread. https://www.needlesandgrooves.com/threads/the-colemine-records-rabbit-hole.274/post-44177

Mine didn’t come with a signed poster, though.

I have a friend I always talk with about music. Last night he handed me these...I’ve never listened to Elton much besides Greatest Hits so I am stoked to play these records.

I think I made Alvvays a new fan too.

You’re in for a treat. I listened to all those back to back a week or so ago. Some of his best.

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

Yet more jazz. Lloyd Mcneill - Treasures is just wonderful, flute-led funkiness. His re-releases on Soul Jazz are really some of my highlights of the past year. Placebo - 1973 is the original (and Belgian funk-jazz combo) Placebo.

Plus, given that everything takes about 3 weeks more to get to me via snail mail, I don't think I posted these two that I got a couple of days ago and am enjoying greatly. Cheers again @Skalap

Mark Kozelek - The Finally LP.

An album that I love and was finally album to track down at an affordable price.

Second copy of Doves "Some Cities" has the same right channel crackle on the last thirty seconds of Side C & D. And both "Last Broadcast" and "Lost Souls" have similar pops at the end of Side A & B... Sigh...

Do you ever get anything that's even acceptable? I admire your determination to continue buying records online.

Would buying it in a store increase the chance of the pressing being better?

I do, I mean I have 300 records and almost all play with no pops due to me forcing companies to replace bad pressings... But I've also got a system that doesn't exactly hide imperfections...

And yeah these albums come from everywhere, not just online... Lots from locals...

You can at least avoid any cover damage and probably extreme warps on new stuff and inspect the used records.

Just saw this now - thank you so much for your awesome help! Truly appreciated!
Now I just need to hunt down The Clash.

I suppose I meant playback of a sealed album

Local shop snags. Need to work on that damn sticker. Vinyl is super clean!

 

[snoops]

Filling some holes in the collection. Also, found a couple of .99 cent classical LP’s from the thrift shop next to work that look like they were never played.
