| Weekend Vinyl Grabs V
happy Friday guys. picked up some great stuff last night and over the last couple weeks! | 1 | | Rush Moving Pictures
was lucky enough to score 3 Rush records at my local vinyl store last night. All used but in pretty good condition! haven't had a chance to listen to the other two yet, but this one has always been one of my favorites and sounds fantastic on vinyl | 2 | | Rush 2112 | 3 | | Rush A Farewell to Kings | 4 | | AFI All Hallow's
not a fan of the band really, but this EP is awesome. Orange, limited edition | 5 | | Bob Dylan The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
my second Dylan record (also have blood on the tracks) | 6 | | Fleetwood Mac Rumours | 7 | | Fleetwood Mac Then Play On
finally scored my first two Fleetwood mac records. I'm excited about both of them for different reasons. before joining sputnik, I wasn't very aware of the earlier Fleetwood mac, but thanks to JamieTwort, Then Play on and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac are now two of my personal favorites. stoked to jam 'show-biz blues' and 'oh well' | 8 | | The Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet
second stones record (also have exile on main street). honestly I'd be more stoked if I got aftermath or between the buttons, but it's still worth owning (just kind of overrated) | 9 | | Green Day Dookie
I jammed this last night and I honestly forgot how much I used to love Green Day. I just need to put uno, dos, tres behind me and remember how good albums like dookie and nimrod are. So nostalgic as well | 10 | | Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill
another very nostalgic one that I had to pick up the other day. if you wanna read more of my thoughts on this one you can check my most recent blog post | 11 | | The Tallest Man on Earth Shallow Grave
and with that my tallest man on earth collection is complete (aside from the EP's) | 12 | | Simon and Garfunkel Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme
god I love this album. nobody should need an introduction to 'Scarborough Fair', but 'For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her' and 'A Poem on the Underground Wall' have become two of my very favorite simon and Garfunkel tracks. oh, I also have bookends, bridge, and sounds. | 13 | | Thin Lizzy Jailbreak
actually not familiar with their other albums, but this one is cool. I think manosg got me into this album iirc | 14 | | Darkest Hour The Eternal Return
I'm actually wondering why I bought this one. I remember liking them and thought it would be cool to have some metalcore in my collection, but this is more generic than I remember :/ | 15 | | The Smith Street Band Throw Me in the River
just ordered this one! | 16 | | Drudkh Microcosmos
just order this one as well! | |

03.18.16 | hello | DominionMM1
03.18.16 | need to get a copy of 13 myself | JamieTwort
03.18.16 | 5 and 7 :]
I really need 7, I just haven't been able to find a nice, near-perfect copy yet. | Sinternet
03.18.16 | 11 is nice | Atari
03.18.16 | I actually got that thin lizzy for free because I spend so much at my local record store that the owner said it was on him lol.
@JT, hey bud. my copy of then play on is far from perfect tbh. the record itself is in good shape, but the cover is kind of worn. you should post your vinyl collection sometime if you haven't already
and yeah sinternet, tallest man on earth is fantastic on vinyl. he's become one of my all time favorite artists for sure and that's one hell of a debut

Maybe near-perfect is asking too much but every copy I've seen has been in fairly poor condition or one of the later less desirable pressings (not that I usually care too much about pressings but at least an early gatefold copy with the original artwork would be preferable) and seeing as it's one of my favourite albums I would ideally like a really nice copy.
I intend to at least post a list of what I consider the cream of the crop of my collection at some point soon. | Atari
03.18.16 | yeah, that makes sense man. I have some records I love that I wish were in better shape myself, but I figured if I come across a nicer copy i'll just buy it and sell the old one :] the most important thing to me is that the record itself isn't all scratched to shit, I can deal with some wear and tear on the sleeve | wham49
03.18.16 | fantastic score, what version is the Freewheelin dylan, some can be pretty pricey, depending on label, mono or stereo or one of the mistake versions | manosg
03.18.16 | Nice picks, Atari. I'd gladly buy 9 or 10 of these albums if I had a record player. Needless to say, 13 warms my heart. | Atari
03.18.16 | @wham, thanks man. I'll actually have to double check what version that Dylan record is tonight when I get home. I bought a bunch of stuff in a hurry last night and haven't had much time to go through it all yet. it was $10 bucks and in pretty decent condition, so I would have snagged it up regardless of the version ;)
cheers manosg :] i'll be thinking of you whenever I jam out to Jailbreak!
it's cool how much music I've discovered on this site thanks to pretty much each and every one of you. I'm thinking of making a thank you list of sorts that will basically be a giant list of albums I love and the users who got me into them | Titan
03.18.16 | gotta be careful with buying used records, regardless if they are in 'good' condition and don't have any scratches......i have plenty that are in great shape but have been played so many times that they just don't sound that good anymore | JamieTwort
03.18.16 | Regarding Thin Lizzy, you should definitely check out Black Rose. It's the only Lizzy album with Gary Moore on the whole album and needless to say he rules on it. | Atari
03.18.16 | yeah I know it can be hit or miss, but ironically, I've had better luck with used records than new ones. one of the albums I bought that has the most issues with skipping and just sounding "off" was brand new haha. the owner at my local record store is also extremely picky with the condition of the used records he buys, so it seems like they play just fine 9 out of 10 times. jammed moving pictures last night and it sounded perfect :]
edit: thanks JT, will definitely check it out! | Titan
03.18.16 | look for the thin grooves | forkliftjones
03.18.16 | 1-3 :) | Atari
03.18.16 | :] just added 15 and 16 to the list because I just ordered them online |
