I'm trying to buy fewer records, but the collector in me keeps fighting back. I bought a recent press of the Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed the other day, to replace my old copy, which had warped a little. The replacement turned out to be in stereo, and Let It Bleed is one of those albums which just sounds horrible in stereo. Taking it back. Online, I recently ordered Mick Ronson's Slaughter on 10th Avenue. I love that record so much, it's crazy to believe that I haven't owned a playable copy for years. Discogs seller says "NM". We'll see.

Status update: the postie did not bring my record. Instead I got ugly socks from my mother. A poor substitute.

The Beatles - 'Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane' has been added to the Record Store Day 2017 releases list so you can imagine my happiness as they're my favourite band :lol: Those shall get snapped up pretty quickly though I imagine, better get there early.

 

Latest addition to my record collection is Melanie Martinez - 'Cry Baby' which arrived in the post today :wub:

My recent additions:

 

London Grammar - Big Picture 7" (from my local record store)

The Beatles - The Decca Tapes (clear vinyl) (received as a gift)

Bloc Party/The Futureheads - Like Eating Glass (Black Strobe Remix)/Decent Days And Nights (Shy Child Remix) [10" picture disc] (bought from Oxfam.)

I love Aimee :wub:

Status update: the postie did not bring my record. Instead I got ugly socks from my mother. A poor substitute.

 

 

LOL. Socks are socks and no-one will notice them. :D

My records showed up today! Slaughter on 10th Avenue and some Mott the Hoople singles. I also got two LPs from the charity shop, the Monkees' self-titled and a David Bowie compilation.

Young Fathers feat. Leith Congregation Choir - Only God Knows [single sided 7"] (from my local record store)

 

I had no idea this was released! It is one of my favourite songs of the year (4 weeks at number 1 on my personal chart!)

 

I used to buy all of my number 1s on CD/vinyl etc. but stopped in 2010 when the physical died a death, I used to really love those Monday treks down to HMV in Exeter for the singles. :(

It got released on 7" two days ago, but it might be exclusive to indie record stores.

Yep - thanks I picked it up today in town. I didn't realise they had planned to release it on vinyl. : )

I picked up a Johnny Cash compilation and a 180g reissue of Sticky Fingers for £7 each at Flying Tiger. They have records in from time to time.

There used to be an ice cream shop in Dawlish called Sticky Fingers (named after said album). Not sure if it's there anymore though..

 

The bike shop incidentally is called Breaking Wind and my trusty steed was bought from said establishment!

I want to get Sticky Fingers on vinyl but it has to be the one with the actual zip on it (which involves pulling down the zip to reveal the legs on the cover in underwear)

 

My recent vinyl finds are Willie J Healey's Greys on clear 7" vinyl and Roots Manuva's Run Come Save Me LP (the latter of which I found in Oxfam)

Anyone else get anything for record store day today? :o I got to my record store at about 10am which I figured out was a bit too late. Obviously didn't get my hands on The Beatles and sadly not Deee-Lite or Manic Street Preachers either. But I diiiiid get:

- Little Mix - 'Glory Days' (feat. neon pink vinyl *.* was the last one left)

- Ryo Kawasaki - 'Selected Works Part 2 - 1976 - 1980' (apparently I was the first person to ask for this, discovered him through my BJSC 80s spinoff entry 'Hawaiian Caravan')

- The Buggles - 'Video Killed The Radio Star' (had to get a cheesy but brilliant one in there)

- Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - 'El Mexicano' picture disc (they had 40% off stuff from RSD 2015 and 2016, so I picked this up from that selection)

oh I wish I had the space to buy more vinyl, I literally had to stop as there is no more room in the tiny bedroom I basically live in - and I managed to squeeze 6000+ records and cd's in there before the floor disappeared :(

 

ah well saves money, glass half full :lol:

I managed to get David Bowie's No Plan EP on clear blue vinyl.

Got Kendrick Lamar - 'To Pimp A Butterfly' and Vitalic - 'Voyager' (inspired by your last BJSC entry popchartfreak *.*) today!
