Record Stores... Whats your latest buy?

[BubbaH]

Last weekend I picked up The Transplants - In A Warzone, and another copy of Big Sugar's RPM, as requested from a friend.

This weekend I picked up Chris Robinson Brotherhood - Big Moon Ritual, and as a bday present for my brother a newly released soundboard bootleg of Zeppelin from 69 - Before The West Was Won.

The bootleg soundboard issue of "Before The West Was Won!" I am interested in that one. I will be taking a look for it in the vinyl stand.

Nando.

 

[BubbaH]

Im sure after I've given it to Rob, Nando, he would let me run off a copy to send to you. Would you prefer an MD or Cassette copy Nando?

 

[Elite-ist]

MiniDisc would be my choice, Ben. It's an easier way to get the formatting done without much trouble. Thanks for offering. I will be mailing out your mix tape this afternoon. I completed the recording a couple of days ago, but hadn't listened through it all until Friday.

Nando.

This weeks buys were

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory, and Iron Maiden - Peace of Mind Pic disc re issue.

Also my buddy I picked up the Big Sugar LP for, gave me an original Megadeth - So Far So Good So What lp in exchange for the Sugar.

 

[BubbaH]

Todays HMV score was Metallica - Through The Never 3lp set.

After using my points collected, this came to just over 20 dollars.

Are you going to spin the Maiden picture disc?

 

[BubbaH]

Yes have a few times already. Im up to 4 of the 8 pic disc re releases now. Still need Iron Maiden, Powerslave, Live After Death, and Number Of The Beast. Beast will be the last to get as I already have a Canadian pressing from back in the day.

Very nice! I have the first 4 albums, well five if you count Maiden Japan, all original or early pressings. I did pick up the S/ T and Killers on picture disc as well. Hope to record the originals onto an open reel tape shortly.

This weekend I picked up

Soundgarden - Screaming Life/Fopp and Ultramega OK, Rancid - Lets go, And Zeppelin - One More Night Live At South Hampton.

I think I am up to about 60 original different Iron Maiden pressings from the US, Canadian and UK between regular releases, 12" eps, UK promo picture discs and promo lps/eps. Got a few Japanese ones too. Also secured a 2lp bootleg set from Manchester UK show in the early 80s. I see stuff I still need to complete the original releases but I will probably stay away from the new stuff unless it's a new studio release, just not enough room LOL

Main one on my hitlist is an original Soundhouse Tapes record

 

[Northwinds]

I got a sealed US 1st press Dream Theater - Images and Words red/gold swirled set hand numbered of 500 coming from a friend who is part owner of Brookvale Records!!! They unearthed a few really low number copies and he is hooking me up with the lowest number!!! I can't wait to see what it is, that would kickass if it's #1

WOW! Soundhouse and Powerslave are next on the list for me. If you need to make space for new Maiden, feel free to send that old stuff my way.

 

[BubbaH]

Powerslave will likely be next for me in the picture disc set. There has been an original Killers down at my shop for a while now. One of these days ill bite the bullet and spend the 50, by that time though like many other albums I finally decide to pony up for, will be gone when I arrive.

Didn't buy anything, but found myself in a place that I will return to when I have more time.

Nando you need to come south with me!

 

[Elite-ist]

Doug: How did you stumble upon that place? I could spend a few hours, there.

Nando.

Nando;

I was driving down the street looking for something completely different when a storefront caught my eye.
Thought I was going in to look at some antiques.

My newest piece:

While not from a record store it is straight from the source...

An original pressing of Hum ~ You'd Prefer An Astronaut straight from singer, guitarist, song writer Matt Talbot's Personal collection. Matt has a stash of these from back in the mid 90's when the album came out. He personally checks and flattens them (if needed) before shipping out. This album is a rare find let alone being new and original. He's even included a signed insert of what was the original planned cover art.

Doug: Were there any pre-recorded open reel tapes? I see plenty of cassettes, records, and, even, 8-tracks.
