Mort.: Mort's vinyl | Sputnikmusic

Mort. 04.08.23	wanting to sell some of these due to changing tastes/not caring about vinyl so much anymore
GhandhiLion 04.08.23	Nice varied collection "not caring about vinyl so much anymore" Kinda based
Ryus 04.08.23	i collect CDs now bc its cheap af
Mort. 04.08.23	i collected cds for a while as well. probably going to get rid of a lot of them as well
Mort. 04.08.23	regarding whats on this list, theres stuff like norma jean, glassjaws first lp, deftones and probably some others than i dont care about anymore and want rid of
Zac124 04.08.23	Nice collection, especially with all the mathcore.
PotsyTater 04.08.23	Metal on vinyl makes me want to die ily tho ur the goat
PotsyTater 04.08.23	Selling the metal you have vinyl on the other hand is extremely based, I was shocked at how much some of my shit was worth
widowslaugh123 04.08.23	I’m interested in 34 And 53 (if you’re selling it)
PotsyTater 04.08.23	I’d buy 26 tbh
Mort. 04.09.23	'Selling the metal you have vinyl on the other hand is extremely based, I was shocked at how much some of my shit was worth' yeah i fully understand why some people talk about records as an investment. a lot of mine have gone up in value with time (although a fair few have gone down as well) like my Frontierer record for example is now mad expensive.
PotsyTater 04.09.23	CD’s may be cheaper, but you can’t sell them for 5x what you paid for them in 10 years when your taste inevitably completely changes and buy new records with that money
budgie 04.09.23	"yeah i fully understand why some people talk about records as an investment. " i'm sitting on this OG pressing of hvis lyset tar oss and i'm sure it will be worth more than my spirit down the line "not caring about vinyl so much anymore" i feel this too. i got my RME headphone amp, my focal cans, and a QOBUZ streaming subscription and it's the majority method of media consumption these days. i spent a long time determining if vinyl really sounds different and i came to the conclusion that the higher register being muted just means i can turn the volume up more before treble fatigue. but some older releases are mastered differently for vinyl so thats another subject. early mercyful fate pressings sound absolutely different from any digital release it's kind of troubling to accept
PotsyTater 04.09.23	Vinyl is honestly annoying af, but it’s also a really addicting and rewarding hobby and one of the funnest complete wastes of money I can think of
Jasdevi087 04.09.23	I ain't buying them shits to invest, I want to keep them lmao. I have a first press of Leaving Your Body Map that I bought on sale that's worth like 200 bucks but fuck you, it's mine, i'm keeping it
PotsyTater 04.09.23	I don’t buy them to invest either and think people that do flip vinyl are scumbags but js, it’s nice that if you eventually can’t stand the sight of something in your collection (like what happened to me with 95% of my metal records) you can reinvest them into new records you do enjoy.
Deez 04.09.23	I only started buying vinyl about 3 years ago strictly for only shit I really wanted now ive got like 400 non bought cheap all piled up taking up room, then I bought a fking record cleaning machine, constant upgrades, replaced my gambling addiction with a vinyl addiction wish I hadnt started. Some babies here though
budgie 04.09.23	yeah buying it for the express purpose of flipping it in the future is lame imo. but knowing that it's appreciating or likely to appreciate is cool i lucked out at a record store in north county SD on a first pressing of adolescent's debut for $3 and realized later that day. sold it for $120 6mo later but maybe should have just kept it cause it's such a cool piece of history
Jasdevi087 04.09.23	oh yeah absolutely, I still need to get around to selling my fucking Eminem LP lol. but yeah if i want to get rid of my old butt metal CDs i pretty much have to donate them
Mort. 04.09.23	yeah i buy records because i like having physical copies of my favourite albums the investment side is just an added justification for spending money on something i dont actually need that spends most of the time sitting in a crate in the corner of the my room
budgie 04.09.23	"constant upgrades, " gettin drunk and deciding you need to blow $450 on a denon cart ouch.
Jasdevi087 04.09.23	even the tatty, beat the fuck up ones you can still get some schmoe to pay 5 bucks for, it's pretty good
Deez 04.09.23	Yeah I also always planned to move to Cambodia with a few years so every penny I wasnt of vinyl is more just sitting here in storage in a few years. Yay.
PotsyTater 04.09.23	Yeah I have a huge set up of vintage gear that truly sounds better to me than any other means of music listening I have at my disposal and the entire process of listening this way is extremely novel and taking care of my records is a satisfying compulsion. But for the most part I just like having physicals of things. I’m not going to lie and say I play the fuck out of most of my records. I’m usually multi-tasking when I listen to music, so fiddling with physicals and flipping records etc is just not practical most of the time.
Deez 04.09.23	Same I get new inners, Outers, Put them on the record cleaner or let them stack and have a day cleaner. Absolute pain in the arse. When it hits though...
PotsyTater 04.09.23	Downsizing my record collection to essentials is one of the best things I’ve done. I sold most of my metal and also most of the 200 or so records I inherited from my grandma that I have been lugging around with me every time I’ve moved over the last decade and it was such a relief tbh.
Deez 04.09.23	haha yeah im dreading having to ever move this shit, Theres nothing I dont want tho which is a good thing
PotsyTater 04.09.23	I really enjoy opening a new record, cleaning it, trying to salvage the hype sticker to add to a fresh outer sleeve, resleeving the inners etc and spinning for the first time. Such a satisfying ritual. And then you organize it on the shelf and don’t listen to it again for a year 😂
budgie 04.09.23	i downsized from 300 or so to about 15 rn. got anxiety from having that big physical footprint and moving so often and when i was in europe i had to get rid of 100 or so before i moved countries again. having a shitton of audio gear is a pain in the ass
PotsyTater 04.09.23	Yup, truly. I just bought a condo last year tho so for the first time I feel like I’m settling down enough that it’s no longer a big deal. The plan is to inevitably upgrade within the next decade but that’s more than a long enough period of time that it’s no longer anxiety inducing.
Deez 04.09.23	I really enjoy opening a new record, cleaning it, trying to salvage the hype sticker to add to a fresh outer sleeve, resleeving the inners etc and spinning for the first time. Such a satisfying ritual. And then you organize it on the shelf and don’t listen to it again for a year' hahahaa yeah its crazy
ToSmokMuzyki 04.09.23	is this vinyl or a porn collection
zakalwe 04.09.23	I started mine around three years ago as well deez, I’ve kept it to around 50 at the minute, still listen to ‘em all the time. Desperate for 8!
Deez 04.09.23	Its fking brutal mate, Working in the middle of nowhere for 8 months does it to, almost itch to spend my money on something. Been great reconnecting with physical music after years of downloads though for sure
unclereich 04.09.23	I also don’t care about records anymore. As user deez said it was an itch that I scratched. Got addicted to collecting the rarest shit possible and this nicest sounding equipment possible. Once that “hobby” peaked- that is to say I couldn’t think of anymore records I wanted- I moved onto film, buying every rare steelbook and inevitably an expensive television and surround sound to watch them on. It’s truly cringeworthy but I always placated my guilt with the notion I could get my money back on most of it. Crazy the amount I made on records alone. Some I will always keep and cherish others helped pay for my next addiction(s)-cars, baseball cards, and guns. I also just sold off my extensive Michael myers mask collection last fall along with my legos last winter. Never thought I’d end up like my hoarder father but here I am 👍
IsisScript80 04.09.23	I'm prone to hoarding shit too (a massive bone of contention in our house). Thankfully (to some extentat least), my desire for physical media doesn't extend to vinyl, although I see the appeal. If it's an album I really like, I'll invariably buy the CD, else it feels like I never truly "own" the thing. Thank fuck though, I don't go for the cassette revival... it was completely redundancy the first time once they figured how to make CDs not skip and media you can record on. Useless format now and just a format exclusively for fetishists.
Mesm277 04.09.23	It's addicting. Jealous of your Shikari copies! Pondering getting the Lateralus picture disk but apparently it sounds like crap but is very visually appealing
budgie 04.09.23	"I also just sold off my extensive Michael myers mask collection" bruh
Sinternet 04.09.23	also a chronic collector/hoarder, although i've gotten back into vinyl much more again recently. made it a rule now to sell any cds i have which i also have on vinyl unless its either got bonus tracks on it or is otherwise special in some other regard, so that cleared out about 200 or so i was holding on to (although thats only a small portion of what i have unfortunately). i'll still always collect cds because they're dirt cheap and its much more common to find cool stuff at random places like charity shops, who usually either have jack shit when it comes to records or someone told them about discogs and they charge out the arse for anything that isn't a terrible 1960s classical recording, but records are just way more fun.
unclereich 04.09.23	@budgie what lol
Ryus 04.09.23	"records are just way more fun" i feel this lol i used to collect records but my jewish tendencies got the best of me and now im CDs only
budgie 04.09.23	dang jewish tendencies
cylinder 04.09.23	nice original pressing of Scum
Deez 04.09.23	User Deez : i
ConcubinaryCode 04.10.23	You got an impressive collection Mort. I'd have to see the prices you're selling these at cuz there's no way a few of these you'd sell for less than 100 if you were being generous. Cool talks on the collecting habit too. I've collected so many cds idk what to do with them. I also started collecting some ps2 games again recently but there's not a ton I wanted so I'm already done with it and played most of the ones I want. (Some didn't hold up)
unclereich 04.10.23	anyone have any white whales out there that they want to own? despite the fact im done with vinyl my whale is still out there in the form of death grips' the money store cassette. there were two presses: one official the other a bootleg. I have the bootleg but id have no issue dropping a grand or more on the official press.
PotsyTater 04.10.23	I have a few but Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus and Cannibal Ox - Cold Vein OG pressings are near the top of the list I also really want Organized Konfusion - Stress and Andy Stott - Faith In Strangers real bad
unclereich 04.10.23	I have funcrusher on cassette and vinyl! I also have both presses of the cold vein.
PotsyTater 04.10.23	Wooowww that’s fucking legit. Which pressing do you prefer of cold vein? I’ve heard the artwork for the repress is kind of shitty but the pressing itself sounds great? Also you can cross faith in strangers off the list lmao I just looked it up and they just repressed it, I’m copping right now hahahah
unclereich 04.10.23	both pressings are fantastic! let me look at the art ill take a pic and post it here
PotsyTater 04.10.23	Thanks man, I’ve been trying for a while to decide which one to go for

unclereich 04.10.23	(let me know if you need other angles)
PotsyTater 04.10.23	Thanks bro! The OG definitely looks a bit more hi res, the two close ups look the lines look crisper. You think they sound comparable? Are they both 2xLP Fuckin free shipping over 150$ for that Andy Stott record so I got lords of the underground self titled, kmd black bastards, and Kool keith black Elvis as well lol
unclereich 04.10.23	the art on the repress is enlarged that caused it to be blurry. not egregious IMO but noticeable. I bought it to listen to it and it sounds great, a very crisp, faithful repress. worth the money? uh no lol 100 is crazy but taking into account it's a very underground group that likely needs the 100 bucks more than me, I was more than happy to pay. I want to say it shipped from the bandcamp across country to me in about 3 days. just need the translucent blue press now.
PotsyTater 04.10.23	Yeah idk if I’m gonna spend over $100 on it I might as well just buy an OG pressing if I can find a good condition good price option
PotsyTater 04.10.23	Did you get it from the ihiphop bandcamp?
unclereich 04.10.23	yes from ihiphop, cant say it enough how well packaged it was and how fast it got here. 100 might be tough for a nice 1st press. a battered one you might be able to find for around 120
unclereich 04.10.23	If I die I will leave you mine
PotsyTater 04.10.23	Yeah I took a quick glance at discogs and they START at like $140 CAN or so. I honestly was entirely unaware that you could still but this repress new tho so that’s great news even if it’s a ridiculous price point. Maybe I’ll cop. Ihiphops website is ghetto as fuck if you didn’t tell me that you actually got your and it was packaged well I might not trust them lmao
unclereich 04.10.23	no doubt haha it is sketchy but seemingly legit!
Deez 04.10.23	I have a few but Company Flow - Funcrusher Plus and Cannibal Ox - Cold Vein OG pressings are near the top of the list' Managed to cop a Can Ox Og for like 80 dollars, little bit noisy even after a wash but not to back. Co Flow are all still money, Just bought Cult Favourite for Madmen only think there was only every 300 the put another 40 online they found. Altar of PLagues- Teether Glory and Injury Corrupted - El Futuro En La Oscuridad 2x7s All the Breach records, Glassjaw Colouring book. I mean......Theres still tons id pay a penny for but trying to tone it down this year as im going back to asia for 3 months in November but see if its possible to tone it down
unclereich 04.10.23	user deez lets get a beer sometime and smoke a dart
Deez 04.10.23	kmd black bastards' Yeah been debating this haha
Deez 04.10.23	user deez lets get a beer sometime and smoke a dart' Sounds like a party
unclereich 04.10.23	Cambodia boys
zakalwe 04.10.23	Turns out I’ve actually bought 91 records so far in three years. A couple of grands worth. Fucking madness.
Mort. 04.10.23	'You got an impressive collection Mort. I'd have to see the prices you're selling these at cuz there's no way a few of these you'd sell for less than 100 if you were being generous.' yeah a few of these seem able to go for a lot. the sikth, frontierer and signed enter shikari i know are worth a lot. the secret band im assuming would be worth a lot seeming as they said theyll never repress it. also assume some of the screamo could go for a lot
Deez 04.10.23	Turns out I’ve actually bought 91 records so far in three years. A couple of grands worth. Fucking madness.' It is innit? My discogs has my medium at like 8 grand, top prices 11 grand started 3 fucking years ago(4th now ) I did have a few old one in storage too but about 30 max 1 or 2 worth something
ConcubinaryCode 04.10.23	I've probably spent 10k on my collection, I definitely have a problem. Let me know if you wanna trade or anything Mort. Don't sell that sikth album until you're sure they're repressing it. It's the albums 20th anniversary this year.
Deez 04.11.23	Glad this has turned into a vinyl junkies anon session First step is admitting the problem right?
PotsyTater 04.11.23	What’s the most y’all have dropped on a single record? Mine is $150CAN I think, but I’ve bought a few in that price range.
Mort. 04.11.23	errr i think i dropped about 80 pounds on Fear Before - The always open mouth when i bought it had only one pressing and was a bit of a cult record, i think that was the cheapest i could get it
PotsyTater 04.11.23	I remember that album it had good song
Deez 04.11.23	90 I think with post on that Cult Favorite last week. Paid 70 a few times Pounds
Mort. 04.11.23	they were the greatest post hardcore band to ever slither out of that shitty disgusting scene how dare u sir
PotsyTater 04.11.23	I said they had good song
DominionMM1 04.11.23	still waiting on that blood mountain record potsy
PotsyTater 04.11.23	Oh really? I yeeted that your direction months ago, maybe a dog mistook it for a frisbee somewhere along the way
Sinternet 04.11.23	i refuse to pay too much for records and just wait for a good reissue if the price is silly money. can't say i've ever spent more than the £50 i paid for an og press of pulp's different class
zakalwe 04.11.23	Not into the whole first press of this, ltd edition of that stuff. I like to listen to the things not bow down to how exclusive it all is. Anything over thirty quid is a piss take but I certainly have a couple that are over 50.
unclereich 04.11.23	150? Child's play
PotsyTater 04.11.23	What’s ur top $
PotsyTater 04.11.23	“ Not into the whole first press of this, ltd edition of that stuff. ” Yeah but when it’s the only option and one of your fav records…
