I got Room's Too Cold on sale for $12 at UO THEN used five dollar rewards on it. Feels like stealing

Also went to a record store and saw Chappell Roan special edition for $60, then went to another and saw popstar edition for like $30 so I got it, idk what the difference is aside from the green jacket and the inserts?

 

the special edition is 180g, all other pressings are 140g.

 

Anyone in the market for the Observatory pressing of Underoath's TOCS? Mint condition.

 

Oh so it's better for people who can actually hear the difference and can actually afford to pay twice as much

The green jacket looks nice tho. But maybe a little excessive if I'm already putting outer sleeves on everything? I have the pink one for Mitski's latest and it barely fits

 

oversized sleeves are a good investment for records like that. vinylstoragesolutions.ca makes some really good ones
re: Chappell Roan, i have yet to pick up a copy (planning to do so soon), but i don't mind splurging a bit because i really like this record a lot. even if the average listener might not be able to tell that much of a difference between 140g and 180g records, i figure i might as well invest in one that i know will supposedly be the best quality i can get my hands on (at least re: durability). that and i really would like the inserts just to have lyrics on hand.

 

vinyl weight makes no difference in sound quality

 

i should've clarified. ofc there's not that much of a difference re: sound quality (not any that's discernable to the average ear anyway). i have plenty of lower weight pressings of records with 180g options out there that sound great. a good mastering job goes a long way regardless of weight. i'm primarily interested in durability and the feeling of something more premium. either option or the record will be fine re: fidelity.

 

what's the difference between popstar and standard tho? i can't find anything definitive about it. there's a popstar with pink center but mine were black

 

popstar is a fancy word for standard, lol

 

yeah i think the pink center is the collector's edition and the images are mislabeled or something

 

Yea got The Early November and the Mayday Parade double vinyl Monsters in the Closet for $30 from Urban Outfitters

 

Watched Bleeding Audio / The Matches documentary tonight. It made me sad and love them even more. Give me that thing in the bottom left corner:

 

Here's one for sale on Discogs

I'll sell my copy if that's the going rate!

 

definitely not the going rate, sales history seems to indicate that is an insane asking price.

 

Oh, I’ve noticed that ridiculous listing. I think we get an anniversary pressing.

 

Just got my shipping notification from Enjoy The Ride for The Damned Things vinyl! This pleases me…haha

 

Have the RX Bandits Resignation vinyls gone out in the US? Still waiting for Banquet to send mine out over here!

 

Same!

 

Yes, a ways back now.

 

Was late to the party, but thanks for the UO rec. Nabbed 152 for 11.99. pretty psyched about that.

 

thanks! I thought I remembered that! I’ll get in touch with them

 

All the Avril Lavigne albums have new pressings at UO, apparently
