it was $18 at the local "indie' record store. i also bought weapons of ass destruction on vinyl and some bootleg cd from 03 called "Eric's Trip to Philadelphia"

that's all i have on vinyl, but i have a pretty big sonic youth cd collection (23 i think), so that's why i don't buy any vinyl except for the syr releases. i don't really like buying singles or anything unless i randomly find it for cheap. i just need syr 5 to complete the vinyl collection. oh yeah, i have trees outside of the academy on vinyl also and the mirror dash 7 inch.

All I have is EVOL.

All I need is EVOL.

you gots the avant garde on vinyl!

I got a lot of great SY vinyl 12" and 7: sorry not pix though.

Arrived Today:

Free Kitten's Punks Sueing Punks EP 7"

great record, though very short, not sure it justifies an 'EP'

i have that and it is great.

It certainly is great fun, the B side Coco's Theme is the better of the three tracks. The sleeve also has a big picture of Kim hugging Snoopy on the back which caused an 'awwwwwww' moment.

My Sonic Youth Collection:



I also have First Original Silence CD and Second Original Silence double LP which are not in that picture.

we are all sonic soldiers

The two prized possessions in my SY collection are:

- Daydream Nation: Unopened mint condition (still w/ original plastic packaging intact) Enigma US double vinyl ('88)

- Sonic Youth (s/t): Mint condition SST cassette featuring all 5 songs on side 1,w/ all 5 played backwards on side 2 ('87)

So you buy records not to listen to them but because they're valuable items?

Yes and no. I have another well-worn copy on vinyl, and two copies on CD. I bought the unopened record as a collector's piece in 2005, but the other copies I've owned since the early 90's.

Shitty picture of my collection, or most of it at least.



I also have few t-shirts and posters (Sensational Fix Malmö, Starpower and few others, I think).

Noise Fest Cassette.

I listened to it once years ago, and only once, for I fear my tape player shall eat it. Oh! if I could hear it again!

I have a few things in the mail...I'm gonna take an updated pic soon.

I'm a vinyl nub. My first sy buy was the destroyed room. I also bought evol and cis/kyi on record store day.

Now I also have "Helen Lundeberg/Eyeliner" 7 "(it came last week). I´m so happy (there came also "Teenage Riot"-sticker)!
