@Whiskeyomega That’s always been true of the higher quality jackets. But with the dual-pocket VSS sleeves, I never have the LPs in them…they’re entirely separate, in their own pocket.
@dnanian Im looking forward to hearing the INXS - Kick pressing their doing as I have an original on 1x33 and ive had the Abbey road half master on 2x45 and they sounded the same.
Pailhead – “Don't Stand In Line” EP (1988)
7", 45 RPM on Wax Trax! Records
One of the more interesting collaborations, featuring Ian MacKaye, Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen, Ministry bassist Paul Barker, and drummer Eric Spicer from Naked Raygun.
Anyone know if Discogs is a good place to work? They're hiring. They're not like doomed for some reason or anything, or just laid off all the good people or something? I feel like the #vinyl#music people here might know
@spacefuzz@bourgwick oh totally. I'm reconciled to the compromises of capitalism. There are a few deal breakers I'm looking out for: genuinely lunatic executive leadership and/or those with a snakey golden parachute "pump the value and sell" plan, and companies in an unbreakable financial death spiral. I've played those games. That's what I'm trying to suss out. I'm def applying

It's important to have a good sized bag that qualifies as a "personal item", separate from the carry-on bag. It's remarkable how much you can fit under a seat. 💺
So, I take a big duffel bag for the overhead, which I lay a sweatshirt across the bottom in.
I take the 10-15 records I usually find and wrap them in a pillowcase, and make sure they’re snug and secure, and then put the clothes I DIDNT leave behind and neatly elastic them individually, rolled up, and lay them on top. It’s heavy….but always the right size.
Been doing this for 30 years. 😂
Yes imploded/exploded quite a few times over the years, and when it broke into XYZ/Asia and this Trevor Horn-led version, 90125 came out with a new, very 80s-commercial sound.
You've definitely heard "Owner of a Lonely Heart”, which was mostly a Horn composition for a solo album. Kind of last-minute add-on Jon Anderson gave it (and the album) a more "Yes" feel.
@billyjoebowers What a nice surprise! What I've been posting here lately is records I've had stashed away for years and haven't seen in a long time. It's been fun seeing what remains, including the various inserts. Also, some have surprisingly good value per Discogs.
I'd love to see some of your albums. I'm sure there's some good stuff found via your role at a distributor (I worked at an independent record store in the late 80s - early 90s, did a lot of buying used and ordering imports for myself lol)
Yeah, my wife was a big collector for years. I had no money ever until the late 80s early 90s, and then I worked at a distributor. So there's a short period that we have tons of stuff from and then nothing as we moved into new jobs.
