Anybody been Record Shopping today?

[stevebrock]

Found a box of what looks unplayed vinyl in my local charity shop of 80s stuff. I have quite a few of the records already, but bought them to replace mine, as the condition of them was much better, and a few that I really don't want (Duran / Spandau) will get sold on.

BBB you really are taking the P*** now - has one got a record player in your neck of the woods ?

 

[bigfish786]

Death Angel -Act III has just arrived. One of my favourite albums.

One of the best opening tracks on any thrash album, too.

A friggin awesome album. Sounds amazing on the black stuff.

There are two charity shops quite near me, but they're not actually shops, they're large industrial units, so they have a lot of space. One of them has probably close to 4000 records, but they're nearly all sh*t, so you have to devote a bit of time to search through them.

If I didn't work and could devote more time in the week, I'd be picking up some real treasures. Sometimes I'm quite lucky, sometimes not.

 

[bigfish786]

I gave this a look over, first time I've ordered from here.

got Sabbat -Dreamweaver and Soulfly - Primitive on picture disc.

 

[Frank Harvey]

Deee-Lite - World Clique (purple vinyl)

Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain (white vinyl)

Fatboy Slim - Halfway Between The Gutter And The Stars

Placebo - Black Market Music

Nine Inch Nails - Halo I-IV Box Set

The Thief OST - Tangerine Dream

The Fog OST - John Carpenter (green/white vinyl)

Tron Legacy OST - Daft Punk

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - Alberto Iglesias (gold vinyl)

 

[Freddy58]

I never bought the vinyl at the time, opting for the later CD versions. Recent events and availability have prompted me to buy the following...

David Bowie - 'Hunky Dory'

David Bowie - 'The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust'

David Bowie - 'Aladdin Sane'

It's my understanding that the more recent re-masters are pretty good.

All ordered through Amazon, so fingers crossed there won't be any problems.

 

[eric132]

I got a 3 phil collins albums, one bee gees album, bruce springsteen album, radiohead album, a couple movie soundtracks, and a lana del rey album (not for older folks).

 

[Waxy]

Drive OST

Pulp Fiction OST

Metallica - Ride The Lightning

Tortoise - The Catastrophist

Steven Wilson - 4 1/2

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

I've ordered 'The Next Day' and the standard version of 'Blackstar'. I have the clear vinyl limited editon with lithographs, but I don't want to open it, let alone play it.

 

[thescarletpronster]

I absolutely love In A Silent Way. A stunning album. Miles Ahead is also good. If they are in decent condition, you'll enjoy those two a lot.

I absolutely love In A Silent Way. A stunning album. Miles Ahead is also good. If they are in decent condition, you'll enjoy those two a lot.

They are both U.S 1987 remastered pressings, and are both close to perfect.

Just played Miles Ahead, and enjoyed it, though I wasn't blown away by it. Now Playing In A Silent Way, and this is definitely my kind of thing. I'm guessing it came out around the same time as Bitches Brew? It certainly sounds like it did.

 

[thescarletpronster]

Yes, In A Silent Way came out a year before Bitches Brew. It was the first proper electric jazz album, although his previous two albums had some electric elements.

 

[eric132]

I just got an album from a band called the squeaky trousers, the album is called A place where trousers squeak.

 

[jamesrfisher]

Yes, In A Silent Way came out a year before Bitches Brew. It was the first proper electric jazz album, although his previous two albums had some electric elements.

It is a great album. This may be heresy on this section of the forum but I have the Complete In Silent Way cd boxset, its fascinating as it shows the progress of the tunes from 'normal' to electric. All very good.

By units do you mean the industrial type as in warehouses?

Would it help if I took your wallet and gave you 20p pocket money each Saturday? Mind you, you'd probably find half a dozen records for 20p...
