Amazon is pretty good about making it easy to do that. It also doesn't take much for them to comp you a month of prime for your troubles haha.

 

I’ve never had an issue with vinyl I bought off amazon, but you handled it the way I would have

 

Probably about 50-60% of my vinyl collection was purchased from Amazon. Nothing has ever been damaged but on at least three occasions they straight up sent me the wrong record.

 

I've ordered around 100 records from Amazon, I've gotten the wrong one once and damaged ones probably 2-3 times.

 

I've also bought a fair number of records from Amazon. The only issue was an order where the cardboard inner mailer was actually empty. They sent me a replacement (which did have the record) right away.

 

Packager must’ve had similar music tastes.

 

Going through some records I inherited from my Grandma - a lot are original pressings but are so torn up, and the lack of inner sleeves half the time, omg I'm so sad

 

Damn looks like you have a few of the Beatles' American albums....those a pretty rare!

 

That was an early one for me too, essential record

 

All my vinyl is up on a high bookshelf because I have a cat that likes to use them as a scratching pole

 

Oh really? I had no idea! These are definitely not worth much. They smell like mold and are not in the greatest condition, however I'm hoping I can bring them back to life a little bit.

She seemed to have a number of mono records, can anyone with more knowledge than me give me some insight into why that might be? Were they cheaper, sounded better back then, could it have been the turntable she used, etc? She's not around for me to ask so it'd be speculation.

 

Yeah so back in the 60s The Beatles were on a different record label in America than in the UK. So most of their releases in America were under a different album title with different tracklists and album art. They stopped pressing them and the discography that everyone knows now is the UK one. Definitely solid pieces for your collection, that'd be awesome if you can clean them up somehow!

For anybody who wants a copy of Riot!, UO has a preorder up for a repressing. It's orange too

 

Damn, kinda makes me wish I didn't already have that, would love if my copy was Orange

 

My poor friends on IG are about to be bombarded with vinyl posts

 

Some records finally opened heh/recently received:



Tides of Man-now I’m in the mood for some instrumental/post-rock.
59’ Sound-one of those I said I would get over and over ha and finally pulled the trigger. Newbury
TLJ-Loving this variant!

 

Wow that Star Wars album looks so nice!

 

I also bought an additional copy in order to get that variant.

 

Haven’t posted one of these in here in a while

 

Can someone explain to me how the rights to get an album put on vinyl works? There are a couple albums I would like to own on vinyl that were originally released on Drive Thru records. Obviously Drive Thru is defunct. Would a vinyl pressing company have to purchase the rights for a the album from drive thru in order to press the album?

 

Yes, the repress label would need to purchase the license from Drive Thru or whomever may have purchased their catalog.

It’s a long process, and could be longer depending on how the ‘label’ is currently running.

 

seems hyperbolic but Cranberry is becoming an all time favorite of mine, I listen almost daily.

 

Nah I completely hear you, I’ve spent just a silly amount of hours listening to that record on repeat haha. It’s soooo breezy and easy to have going
