Official CD/LP purchases thread

Yeah, it doesn't seem like they much acknowledge Acrobatic Tenement. I'd love copies of that, El Gran Orgo, Alfaro Vive, Carajo! and the Hell Paso ep.

It IS a problem. You ever listen to Fats Waller? Motherfucker was a genius, who wouldn't want to listen to the original 78 rpm releases? Are you sure you actually buy/listen to vinyl?

I wonder how the $60 crosley ones function just to play 78s. I've got like 5 Fats Waller releases, 20 Louis Armstrong releases, and Ella Fitzgerald stuff. It would be nice to hear them before I sell em.

Sleep - Dopesmoker just arrived. The packaging is beautifully done, and I can't wait until I finish bar stuff for today so I can finally listen to this album in the best possible way: crazy high and turned up super loud.

haha nice! Southern Lord never fails with their packaging! Hope you got a holographic cover I got clear version last week. Which version did you get (black, green, clear or pic disk)? Definitely smoke up before you listen to it...

You might like this documentary. Enjoy....

[bmack86]

I didn't do the holographic cover because it was pricier. I went with the green vinyl, and am so excited to put it on tonight.

Also, I forgot to post this, but Tallguy Chris gave this to me last night:

Derek and the Dominoes - Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

You may want to hang onto to some of those for the sake of posterity. Even if you can't listen to them, they're still culturally significant recordings. Probably some rare, super-out-of-print versions of stuff. But a 78 Crosley may not be a terrible idea simply for the sake of playing them.

People can dog on Clapton all they want, this record is fucking tits.

Remember when I told you to look up Delaney & Bonnie? Yeah, this is their backing band + Clapton. Magic.

Agreed. And I looked up that Delaney and Bonnie album with the car on the cover, and it was magic as well. I still, by and large, am not a fan of Clapton, but he now has a few albums that I can enjoy front-to-back.

That live album is so good, but my favorite is Accept No Substitute, their 2nd. If you ever see this out, buy it. This release had some weird label issues (George Harrison signed them to Apple, but Elektra already had rights blah blah blah) and as such is a fairly rare release. But it's absolute dynamite, one of my favorite records of all time.

Well, I've just purchased a bunch of ridiculous stuff off of discogs this afternoon. I blame a hip hop and hi-NRG listening spree this morning.

[greghead]

Hahahaha, I can't wait to see what you got. I was looking through your Europe records when Barb and I stopped by for a drink/change before 222 Hyde on Monday. You got some serious shit over there.

[bmack86]

Well, we went out for fried chicken near Amoeba and I had to drop by. But I restrained and only bought one thing:

The International Submarine Band - Safe at Home

[greghead]

Ahhhh, nice. I've had my eye on that reissue for some time, let me know how it sounds.

[getbetter]

i got the new Deltron 3030 remix ep from the Dogfish Head beer Collaboration!

[bmack86]

Ahhhh, nice. I've had my eye on that reissue for some time, let me know how it sounds.

Quite good. I mean, I would have pretty much paid that price just to have a copy of Luxury Liner, I love that song so much, but the whole thing sounds remastered and really clear.

[bballarl]

The Dopesmoker reissue sounds great. So basically everything about it rules.

[bmack86]

Yeah, my roommate and I did the whole thing yesterday. The live tracks aren't that good, but it doesn't matter. This is the best sounding, and best looking, version of this music ever presented. Good on ya, Southern Lord.

I mean, they had to fill the extra 20 minutes/side of vinyl somehow. The second live track is better than the first for sure.

[IceyHotshot]

Dustin Wong's newest
Alan Lamb Wired Day pieces
Keiji Haino/Stephen O'Malley/Oren Ambarchi comp
High Aura'd's newest (never listened to him/them before, bought based on descriptions, sounds promising)

[ods..]

Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps
Chromatics - In the City II
Led Zeppelin - IV

[wmgaretjax]

That High Aura'd record is ridiculous. His Mooncusser cassette from last year was top notch.

[IceyHotshot]

Ridiculous in a good way I hope? Got the Alan Lamb due to your recommendation btw, looking forward to giving it a listen.

[wmgaretjax]

absolutely in a good way. that alan lamb is really awesome as well. it's a really interesting set of compositions centered around a really cool "instrument." it doesn't hurt that Taiga records puts out some of the most gorgeous packaging on the planet. it's a nice contrast to the psych/noise rock stuff on Nazoranai and Imikuzushi.

[getbetter]

I've been wanting this for a while and saw it today at Rhino Records.


Portishead - Dummy[simple vinyl]

[cansei de ser sexme]

Throbbing Gristle - D.o.A.: The Third and Final Report
Throbbing Gristle - Heathen Earth

Both original Industrial pressings, but look to be in incredible condition. The ebay seller was also selling 20 Jazz Funk Greats but I got outbid :/

[wmgaretjax]

i would highly recommend pursuing the represses instead on those. the remaster really is a vast improvement (it was done by chris using the original master tapes).
