CDs? If not, where the fuck did you find that Harvey Milk album?

Nah LPs. I got the Harvey Milk at Rasputin in Berkeley of all places. They've got the self titled album and "a small turn of human kindness" brand new sealed under H in the indie section. I probably should've picked up the latter as well.

[bmack86]

Hot damn. I wonder if it got repressed. I've never seen that anywhere.

[greghead]

This is why I just call my brother, tell him what I want to do, and then when he tells me what to get, I bulk and tell him I want to spend 1/4 that much money, and then he grumbles and picks something I'm quite happy with. (My brother doesn't understand why I spend money to go to shows every week but can't be convinced that I don't need $10,000+ speakers.

To be fair to your brother, I think we all need $10,000 speakers.

[stinkbutt]

Pretty sure you can find all the Harvey Milk albums around

[send me ctrpllrs]

From Tomentosa earlier today and en route hours later (awesome):

Motion Sickness Of Time Travel - Motion Sickness Of Time Travel 2xLP

And a little while before I did that... I too pre-ordered Dopesmoker. Green version, of course.

Oh and in regards to the Expedit... I have already filled 4 shelves with somewhere around 220 12", LP, 2xLP, and I think 4 box sets.

The label is sold out of Life, but has all the others.

I too pre-ordered the Green Dopesmoker.

For sale. Knock a few bucks off the low discogs price or whatever and make me an offer. More stuff you buy... more inclined I'll be to give you a killer deal and throw some surprises in. Don't crazy lowball me on the rarer stuff, especially if that's the only thing you are going for. Be reasonable and I'll make ya happy. I put in notes as to related bands and whether it is non-black vinyl (i might have missed some, just inquire if you are curious). 7"s, tapes coming later (there will be more secret abuse related stuff there Bryan).

[bmack86]

It's really bad that Mono Records in Echo Park posts all of their recent used arrivals on Facebook with the prices:

The Rolling Stones - Beggar's Banquet
Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes

I always knew that Os Mutantes album was one of my favorite release around, but listening to it again right now just drills home how fantastic it is. I grabbed the repress, which sells new for $15: everyone who likes good music go buy it. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

[greghead]

Fantastic scores, both.

[Spooks]

[chiapet]

That is really fucking bizarre.

[nosurprises12]

I love Os Mutantes (in fact, a track of theirs made it on to my Mix Exchange mix), and I'm sure all that psychedelic swirl sounds even better on record.

I have a question for you all about how one would go about judging the condition of a record and the sleeve. I bought a stack about a month ago and want to sell the stuff I don't really want on Discogs, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to understanding the difference between VG and VG+, what separates NM and M-, etc. I don't want to list an item with an inaccurate media condition, so does anyone have any advice or tips they can share?

[chiapet]

I am no expert, but I believe on discogs, you're expected to follow Goldmine's grading criteria and provide some details on how you grade / any flaws. Personally I would stick to M / NM / VG+ / VG, would only used M for new sealed items and probably wouldn't bother trying to sell stuff that isn't at least VG+ because chances are a buyer may disagree with your assessment and having to deal with a return or charge-back would be a hassle.

I use this grading scale...

Sorry. Done.

[frazzles]

Went digging today:

Bjork - Post (Pink Vinyl)
Can - Ege Bamyasi
Gang of Four - Entertainment!
1000 Clowns - Kitty Kat Max
Sepalcure - Eternally Yrs
Flying Lotus - 1983 (Special Edition Colored Vinyl)
Flying Lotus & Joker - Tectonic Plates Vol. 2
Flying Lotus - Shhh! EP
Flying Lotus - LA EP 3X3 [And with this, my collection of FlyLo wax is complete]
Machinedrum - SXLND EP
Prodigy - The Fat of the Land
Asheru and Blue Black of the Unspoken Heard - Soon Come...

[bmack86]

Oh snap, I want that Bjork album. So bad. great find.

[frazzles]

Even more shocking was its price. Japan is weird when it comes to this shit. MBV reissue CDs are 2500 yen (like 30 bucks) but a rare vinyl will be 900 yen (11 or 12 bucks with the current yen rate).

[FEELS]

Talking Heads - Remain In Light

CD: Portishead - Dummy

[greghead]

Damn, Alex. You always find such nice shit over there.

agreed... if you type in 'vinyl grading system' there are a number of resources. But unless your record is close to flawless, its going to be tough determining a price that's fair to both you and the purchaser.

If your looking to dump records w/out dealing with all of the headache of grading them, then id suggest record swaps.

Thanks for this too - I don't know how I missed your post the first time :/

Good advice, although I don't really have many to sell - the people at the Pasadena flea market show up with lots of stuff.

[Coachella Bound]

you can try some of your local shops and see if theyll give you store credit for the ones you dont want....

[ialvarado2]

Went to checkout Cobraside and the place is awesome! They open to the public once a month.

[kitt kat]

I go by the Goldmine score most of the time, but when I eyeball things, I have my own quick system.

M - Unopened, sealed OR in shrink and I know I was the one who opened it and played only once
NM +/NM types - In shrink, but I played more than once; Not in shrink, but looks relatively flawless with no shelf or ring wear; Shiny, clean record with no wear on the inner hole; has original inner sleeves or inserts
VG + types - Minimal shelf or ring wear on sleeve; might be missing inserts; wear on label is minor; record is shiny but shows signs of repeated play
VG - try not to buy anything below this; worn sleeve might have markings (writing) or might be slightly dirty/faded (nothing extreme); record shows use or has small scratches
