I haven't listened to anything by Nirvana for probably a couple of years or more, but I couldn't resist picking up a copy of this numbered, limited, double LP reissue of "Bleach"

Amazed to watch kids buying vinyl in HMV - its all the stuff from the early 1970s, and the better the sleeve art the better they sell, according to one sales assistant.

Sun Ra's Blue Thumb label Space is the Place has been a sought-after grail for me for quite some time. Today I learned there was a recent reissue pressed in the Netherlands - the first since it's original issue in 1973, so I wasted not a moment's hesitation. It was my lucky day - this copy had just come in to my local shop!

I joined a monthly record club a year or so back and have been pretty happy with the stuff they send. but as for on purpose purchasing, the 5 most recent i bought were:
Dangerdoom - The Mouse And The Mask
Prince - 1999
Smashing Pumpkins - siamese dream
Shovels & Rope - O' Be Joyful
and
Junior Boys - Big Black Coat (for my wife)

On one hand I am stoked that records are making a comeback, but on the other hand, if artists are just pressing the mp3 versions of their digital music to vinyl it kinda defeats the whole "sounds better" aspect.

also: Innerspaceboy, i was just looking into that album not long ago, glad to see I'm not the only one

Probably more than half of my collection is due to dollar bins/thrift stores etc, I always say to myself "ok, I have a budget of "X" dollars then I wander to the record area and that all goes out the window. I have reaped the audiophile benefits from many an old person's passing.

Very cool! I'm fortunate in that, for the vast majority of the recordings I seek, quality mastering is the standard and not the exception. Reissues from analog-sourced masters from Brain, Ohr, ECM, DG, and Nonesuch are always well done.

I think the only bum master I own is the Plain Recordings reissue of Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space, but I was well-aware of that going into the purchase.

Also - excellent scores from the record club! May I ask the name of the service to which you've subscribed?

'Vinylmeplease' I like that they acknowledge that an album is to be thought of start to finish, as one complete work. instead of a bunch of songs compiled together. So I could get behind that idea at least to test the waters with them. It has been pretty nice so far, on top of getting introduced to new music they often re-release classics and most are custom pressed into colourful records and that adds a layer to the aesthetic.
for example: a little bit back they sent Black Sabbath - Paranoid pressed on a purple-ish multicolor record,

Thanks for the headsup on those companies, it's nice to know audiophilia is rampant
