    It's pressed at Rainbo in the usa, white and black. If you can get an optimal (eu) pressing it improves your odds imo, lmk if you spring for an optimal.

    Early bday gift from my gf... "If you will it, Dude, it is no dream."

    It's in "red bowling ball finish" - far out. No Creedence though... That's a bummer man, that's a real bummer.

    These beauties just came in today:

    The Flaming Lips - The Terror
    Rush - Permanent Waves
    Jack White - Lazaretto

    Just finished spinning Lazaretto. What a work of art. Jack also included several Easter eggs which I didn't know about until receiving the LP today:

    -Side A spins from inside to out, with a locked groove on the outer rim
    -Angel hologram on side A
    -Hidden tracks within the label on both sides, not only that, but one track plays at 78 and the other 33, so this LP is technically a 3 speed LP
    -First track of side B (Just One Drink) has both an acoustic and electric intro, depending on where you drop the needle, and both intros transition perfectly into the body

    Jack White, are you a f'ing wizard?:punk:

    Mostly used finds, but I splurged on the new Complete Bill Evans Village Vanguard set.

    I really hate that Lazaretto LP.

    The drums sound terrible (think low bit rate, no treble), the inside out thing makes it hard to queue, and side B has no real lead in when queuing. Junk.

    I had never heard of Don Friedman, but the album cover sucked me in and it's a 1978 Japanese repressing of this 1963 recording, so I figured it would sound good. Holy f**k, it sounds great and this guy is awesome.

    Freakbeat Records in Encino, CA is have a 20 - 50% sale, so I scored a bunch of records at a real bargain. woohoo!

    Dude, that is the holy grail of vinyl, soundwise. Great, great catch, That is a most excellent price, the Vinyl gods smile on you, as the music on that album is topnotch, not just great sounding.

    Note that the pressings are VERY specific on the list, though people felt HP got sloppy in the end.

    New turntable demanded I leave the house and stop playing it for a couple of minutes. So I did, to go buy some records.

    Why are all the good Gorillaz albums so expensive? :(
    I just want Demon Days and The Singles Collection on vinyl so bad.
