I didn't want to post this until I got my copy (which I just did)...

DFA is selling some left over copies of LCD's This is Happening.



http://shop.dfarecords.com/product/l...lp-white-label

What are these limited to? I can't find any info on the net.

What are these limited to? I can't find any info on the net.

They made 200 for Sound of Silver white label couple months and now same thing with This is Happening which is limited to 100. Just hand stamped. It's more for vinyl collectors to have different variations....nothing too rare so unless you're a huge fan I would just wait for remastered version which will probably be released when LCD reunites

Oh that makes sense. Sounds like a pretty quick and easy way to make $3000 if you are DFA haha.

Professor Longhair - New Orleans Piano

[bmack86]

NICE

[mountmccabe]

Just received my copy of the re-issue of We Rose From Your Bed With The Sun In Our Head, the Swans 2-CD recent live compilation. It is thunderous and intense and wonderful, in the way that the vocals-forward NPR-stream of their ATP NJ performance was not. I was half listening at not loud enough (because, really) and it was still emotionally affecting.

Got some in the mail the other day...

Heavy Cream - Super Treatment (ltd color edition of 250)
Pangea - Living Dummy
OFF! - OFF! (limited white vinyl)
Cosmonauts - If You Wanna Die, Then I Wanna Die (ltd color edition of 100)
Black Tambourine - OneTwoThreeFour (2x7" Ramones covers EP)

[bballarl]

Enjoy the Black Tambourine record. It is super good.

[JorgeC]

Got some in the mail the other day...

OFF! - OFF! (limited white vinyl)

does it say on the cover if it's white vinyl or are all the copies on white vinyl right now? Rhino has there copies priced at only $13.99 and i was gonna pick itup this weekend.

[corbo]

the mars volta - noctourniquet
paul mccartney -ram
the xx - xx
talking heads - little creatures
fleet foxes - helplessness blues
animal collective - danse manatee.

this was my first time listening to that AC album.... tough first listen.

[bmack86]

It remains my least favorite AC release.

[send me ctrpllrs]

Yeah, same here. I love Essplode and Lablakely Dress, but that is probably just cause of the awesome versions of Fireworks they did live with those songs. That album gets listened to least often of theirs.

Bought Quakers on vinyl a couple of days ago. Bought it blind and am glad I did. Production is fantastic, rhymes were good... need to give it more spins asap.

[bmack86]

Thanks Greg!

Little Richard - Here's Little Richard (RSD press)

[getbetter]

Fuck yes

Tomahawk -Eponymous to Anonymous

[wmgaretjax]

I'll take Danse Manatee over MPP and all the EPs except Prospect Hummer. I think it gets a bad rap.

[greghead]

Thanks Greg!

Little Richard - Here's Little Richard (RSD press)

Ah, it made it already, great. You're welcome.

[bmack86]

I'll take Danse Manatee over MPP and all the EPs except Prospect Hummer. I think it gets a bad rap.

Meh, it gets a bad rap because it's disjointed and half-baked. I can hear what they wanted to do on some of the songs and it seems like they get halfway.

[wmgaretjax]

It's certainly disjointed... but i think the transition from Spirit to it makes it clear that's by design (especially if you listen to the live pre-HCTI tracks that immediately followed it). I think the album is the perfect bridge between the noisy psych of Hollindagain and Strawberry Jam->on. It's pretty astonishing to me how similar that album is to the earlier incarnations of the MPP songs. If anything, the album perfectly illustrates how non-linear AC's career has been. It's a straight up noise album, and quite unpleasant on first blush, no doubt there... but Another White Singer->Runnin' The Round Ball is one of my favorite stretches they've ever done.

[bballarl]

7":
Cops - Premonitions EP

12":
Sugarhill Gang - Rapper's Delight

LP:
Jacques Brel - L'Histoire de Babar
The Gun Club - Fire of Love
Heavenly - Operation Heavenly
Sinead O'Connor - The Lion and the Cobra

[kitt kat]

Finally snagged this:


The place I got it from had a few more of the Girls in the Garage comps, all for $40 (how much this one was.) They're averaging anywhere from $50-$150 online, so I'm going to try and go grab the rest over the next few weeks...

Oh, and this copy is transluscent yellow, which I had never heard of...

[IceyHotshot]

Sigur Rós - Valtari arrived in the mail today

[bballarl]

LP:
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92

The cover is absolutely horrible looking.

[IceyHotshot]

Looks like something Skrillex would use for his albums.

[bballarl]

I'm pretty sure this is a bootleg. Definitely not the R&S reissue. Oh well. I'm just happy to own it on vinyl in some capacity. Time to hear how it sounds...

[zenidogx]

The Stooges (1982 repress)
Paul's Boutique (very worn, but couldn't resist after listening to it recently)

[Sleepingrock]

I'm pretty sure this is a bootleg. Definitely not the R&S reissue. Oh well. I'm just happy to own it on vinyl in some capacity. Time to hear how it sounds...

We own the same one. I was a bit horrified but I had to buy it. Definitely a bootleg.

[bmack86]

Yeah, it's not the R&S, but the sound isn't horrible.

Getbetter and I hit up Amoeba today. The dollar bin was on fire. Only the first two purchases weren't from there:

Fairport Convention - Fairport Convention (second album, US release)
Fairport Convention - Full House
Iron Maiden - Powerhouse
Harry Nilsson - A Touch of Schmilsson in the Night
The Coolies - Dig...?
Paul Simon - Paul Simon
Big Brother and the Holding Company - Cheap Thrills
John Lennon and Yoko Ono - Double Fantasy
Hank Williams - Honky-Tonkin' (Hell yes!)

[bmack86]

Ahahahahaha!

The Coolies album is a bunch of Simon and Garfunkel covers by an Athens, Georgia post-punk band. Except for the lyrics, the songs are completely different. I'm digging this.

[RedHotSgtPeppers]
