BEA Vinyl Swap Shop / Your Own Top 100 on Vinyl

Jimmy Dread · 2015-01-05T11:42:46-05:00

Happy NY to you all and ting. For those who may be aware, I've made it my goal for this year to attempt to obtain as many of my all-time Top 100 on vinyl as I possibly can. Not an easy task if you bear in mind a couple of the albums I've got in mine where never released on vinyl in the first place, and that others fetch ridiculous amounts (unless Warp decide to repress it, Tender Buttons currently goes for upward of £200, for example). Question is... do any other BEA members really give a stuff about owning the music they adore on vinyl, or would you rather have your albums on digital format or CD? Be interested to know... and also be keen to find out if anyone wants to trade at some point (especially Brun027 so I can get my hands on some Brazilian stuff which you can't get for love nor money round these parts). If anyone else is interested, maybe we could have a race to see where we all get to by the end of 2015. Unless you plan on spending your wages on baked beans and carpet cleaner. Also... who can lay claim to fame as BEA's resident vinyl junkie? Let the boasting begin... and pictures are always good so I know whose house to burgle.

It's one of the albums I inherited from my Brother, a UK reissue on Virgin from 1985.

So the way Ive been treating my overall chart is sort of doing this thread backwards. I've been slowly rebuilding it from scratch and putting albums on it that I would like to own on vinyl (at this point I don't think any that I currently own will land in my top 50, maybe 2-3 in my top 100).

I'll probably start attempting this thread's challenge in mid October/November, and I'm hopeful I can find some records through local shops (which I havent explored at all here yet)

I had been browsing discogs for some of the albums I know will be in my overall, but In den Garten Pharoas runs a high price as far as I can see, and that's just the beginning. Real hopeful I can find some bargains when I seriously start looking.

Anyway this thread has been fun to keep up on and see how others are finding records and bargains. Probably my favorite active thread here.

Not sure where to put this, but I think this would be the thread. Amoeba has a youtube segment called 'What's In My Bag', and it's been on for 4 or 5 years now. This one with Michael Shannon was from yesterday, and I thought he had some really cool picks.

It might not be the best one to start with though 🤣 They usually aren't that solemn.

For Canadians who want cheap vinyl copies of:

Zombies - Odessey and Oracle

Run The Jewels 2

Pains of Being Pure At Heart - Belong

Ben Frost - Aurora

3rd Bass - The Cactus Album

The last few are from a private seller. They usually go fast though. I've found some great finds using this. They're usually super lightly used (usually still in shrink wrap), and if you're disappointed, you can just return them.

There was also a copy of Natty Dread for $5, but I snatched that up 😁

So took advantage of my daughters athletics meeting near Mansfield today and popped into Ridgeway Records for the first time in Kirkby in Ashfield. Great little shop with a good selection of genres, well organised and they also sell a few old turntables and speakers (they had a very nice old rega planar for sale noWaxJim)

Anyway picked up the following

The Leonard Cohen album is an upgrade on the copy I have which was a tad crackly and is a UK 1st press - £3
Beach Boys - UK 1st press - £7
Stranglers - UK 1st press - £4
Smiths - German original - £12

All in Excellent condition

So as it turns out, Tuxedomoon's Half-Mute is kind of expensive on the re-presses, which I knew, and hadn't checked on the older presses. Apparently the older presses are cheaper. Anyone have ideas on why that would be, before I get excited and buy one?
