From recordstore.co.uk, I managed to get Straight Outta Compton by NWA when it was their "deal of the day" for 7.99, and I also pre-ordered the upcoming Jamie xx 12". Already have the former in my collection, can't wait to receive the latter.

Omg thanks ___∆___ for sharing the code! Just bought Rina Sawayama's 'SAWAYAMA' album on gold vinyl using that :D

 

Also decided to pre-order Fiona Apple's 'Fetch The Bolt Cutters' album on vinyl on Rough Trade UK. Apparently supposed to be out in June.

 

-stops buying stuff until at least pay day next week now- :kink:

Anyone else been listening to their records a lot more in lockdown?

Yep, I have more time in the mornings right now where my walk to work has been eliminated so I have been starting each day with as much of a record as I can fit in. Today it was The Beatles' self-titled release aka 'The White Album' *.*

Never really used Record Store before but impressed with all my recent purchases - they all arrived yesterday and today, all the vinyls were well packed and perfect :cheer:

Anyone else been listening to their records a lot more in lockdown?

 

Yes a lot more - have also been buying more and using the downtime to build up my collection.

I find it difficult to listen to vinyls and work, cos you have to get up and change sides all the time

if I'm focused working time flies and I don't realise and I already need to switch sides

I tend to listen to one each day normally in the afternoon.

 

Usually start still listen to my on the go list I would on the commute as it makes up my personal chart then Ken Bruce for his Pop Quiz which I'm not bad at but if I did go on it I'd get a load of questions I wouldn't know guaranteed.

 

Then a record after lunch!

I went on a bit of an online spree week before last and they're all starting to arrive now. So far I've received:

 

Bright Eyes - Studio Albums Box

Oasis - What's the Story Morning Glory on white vinyl after all the Oasis chat in pre-2000s

The Verve - Urban Hymns on green

Courteeners - More. Again. Forever. on a nice pop up version from HMV

Georgia - Seeking Thrills on red

Ariana Grande - Thank U Next on pink and clear

Ariana Grande - Sweetener on peach

Friendly Fires - Inflorescent (pretty cool lenticular one that's also signed! :wub: )

Hot Chip - A Bath Full of Ecstasy on a limited orange and teal that was also signed so a cool surprise

Ben Howard - Every Kingdom

Why? - Alopecia on a weird and very bright tri-colour version

Gil Scott-Heron - I'm New Here on a perfectly matched green and pink to fit the logo, it's the little details! :wub:

Zola Jesus - Okovi on copper

Jens Lekman - Life Will See You Now on orange

Mr Scruff - Keep It Unreal on green

Plus a few others that I'd never even heard of but the vinyl looked pretty ^_^

I'm jealous of the 'thank u, next' one! I do have peach 'sweetener' though and it's incredibly pretty :wub:

wow that's a shopping spree

I also need to get David Gray - White ladder vinyl

is that the 2020 edition?

Yes it is, I think that’s the only time it’s been released on vinyl. Toyed with the deluxe but couldn’t really justify it.

just checked the deluxe version of White ladder and that's crazy expensive, almost 100 Euros, think Im gonna go with the normal vinyl, nice that it's white ;)

Yes it’s nice that it matched the title ^_^

 

And Jade yes the peach Ariana is lovely! I wouldn’t normally have gone for that album, although I do like about half of it, but the colour ensnared me!

My vinyl protection sleeves arrived today from HMV to protect all that wax I’ve been investing in! I’ve tried so many different ones and none beat the ones HMV sell (Guessing that’s why they sell out as soon as they restock them too).

Went a bit mad as it's pay day but I'll have a break for a while now :kink: got:

 

Ariana Grande - break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored (clear vinyl)

Britney Spears - Oops!... I Did It Again (purple swirl vinyl)

Fiona Apple - Tidal

Lady Gaga - Born This Way

Sound Of Vinyl have Halsey’s Limited Edition blue vinyl of ‘Badlands’ available as their deal of the day for £8.99 (Plus you get an extra 10% off if you sign up for their newsletter).

No way?! Is this offer always on, I've never been to the Diskery cause at the arse end of the city centre but I'll have to pop by if this is still going.
