How many vinyl freaks?

Mortte Jousimo · 03.07.2010, 06:32 AM

Hi everybody! I´m a new member. I Live in Finland. I Have listened Sonic Youth less or more fanatically since year 1992. I Have never seen Sonic Youth live (they have been here 3 times, last time was in a year 2003, hope they come here someday again, I won´t miss them then!!)

I would like to know, is there many vinyl freaks in this gossip? I´m a vinyl freak, I have every album Sonic Youth have released in vinyl. But I don´t have so many ep:s and singles (I don´t know, is blast first version of "Death Valley 69" a single, but it´s the only "single" I´ve got, then I have "Master-dik", "Dirty Boots", "In the Fishtank" and syr-releases). Are there somebodies in this gossip, who have the most of the Sonic Youth vinyl releases, I mean almost all the e.p:s and singles? Does anybody got "Kill yr Idols"?

STU666: You got quite a collection!!! Do you have some lacks in albums? For example "Confusion" , "Bad Moon" and "Made In Usa"? I´ve got Blast First vinyl re-release from "Confusion" (is it a year 1996, there´s no appendix, only white bag inside, even songs names have not been written anywhere, I had a SST-Cd, so I take the copy from it´s gatefold, that have songs names and lyrics). Then I got original Blast First version of "Bad Moon", there is also no lyric sheet. And also original Rhino "Made In Usa".

I Have 30 Sonic Youth releases, if I count also solo products (I have 2 Thurston´s solos and Kim´s Syr-release). Only one is cd (Sonic Death SST-cd).

I need to get Confusion is Sex and Made in USA on vinyl, i do have Bad Moon it came with EVOL in that Silver cover in the first picture (next to Dirty)

radarmaker · 03.08.2010, 07:26 AM

I've got something like 80+ LPs/12" and 30+ 7". Can't be arsed to detail them all, but there's pics in one of the older threads.

Rob Instigator · 03.08.2010, 12:10 PM

love the vinyl. LOVE the VINYL
I like to see the platters spinning around.

LOVE to play my vinyl

I have nearly everything sonic youth has out on vi nyl except Confusion is Sex.

I have many of the 10" EP's and the 12" singles as well as a ton of 7" singles and side projects.

!@#$%! · 03.08.2010, 01:00 PM

i like records but i am considering pruning things. vinyl is heavy. when the nazis come (and they will come), i won't be able to flee as fast as when i carry a couple of hard drives.

Rob Instigator · 03.08.2010, 01:02 PM

all it takes is one Electromagnetic pulse from a thermonuclear warhead and your hardrive is dooo doooo, even hundreds of miles away.

Yr vinyl will make a good bonfire if you need to roast the meat of yr enemies

i prefer hardwood with a little mesquite thrown in for flavor. but i won't be bunkering down here. mobility is nobility. fleeing is the way to go, while taking the occasional hostage to feed on (you can even keep them alive while you harvest the parts-- no need for the meat to spoil)

i might reconsider ditching the vinyl, but i've learned from the joos-- transportable wealth is where it's at. the weight will slow you down.

on 2nd thought, i could keep an underground vault with all hefty treasures until the hostilities are over.

hmmmm....

this made me laugh so hard

Mortte Jousimo · 03.11.2010, 06:57 AM

Stu: I´m trying on more time. I haven´t seen your Dirty-version, what it is? Is it Australian pressing, that is mentioned in the discography page? How about your three first syr-records, are their vinyls coloured? I bought them last year and they are all black. In the discopraphy page is said, that there´s only one pressing of syr´s. Is it possible, that the first 100 copies for example are coloured and rest black? Have you got any information about that? Have you got Ciccone Youth-lp? I bought last year the goofin re-release.

radarmaker · 03.11.2010, 07:33 AM

Yeah, that's the 1000-only Aussie cloth-bag version of Dirty. Orange vinyl as well.

There's a lot more than 100 coloured copies of SYR1-3 - all the first run were AFAIK - it's only relatively recently (well, the past few years) that the black ones have been available. SYR2 gets complicated though - there were some initial black copies (promos?) as well as at least 2 variations in coloured pressings (clear blue & green/blue I think), as well as the later black ones. There was a long thread about them a couple of years ago.

stu666 · 03.11.2010, 07:52 AM

hey Mortte, yes that is the Australian limited edition release of Dirty that i have, comes in cloth bag with 2x orange vinyl and a poster. the SYR 1,2 and 3 i have are all colour vinyl, i don't know how many were pressed before they switched to black. as for the Ciccone Youth lp i only have this on cd (original release and re-release). i also need to get Confusion is Sex, Made in USA, Washing Machine and Rather Ripped to complete my collection.

i need to update those earlier pics i posted, since then i have got The Destroyed Room, Goo, The Eternal and a few other things. here's a few more solo/side projects i have.

Mortte Jousimo · 03.11.2010, 08:13 AM

Radarmaker: Thanx for information about syr´s. Maybe I find someday the coloured-vinyl-versions!

I think I have "Dirty" european original version, but it doesn´t have orange vinyls. The keeper of the discography page wasn´t sure, did european original version have orange vinyls or not, I think it didn´t. I have "Washing machine" Us-version, it have that "oddity", that "No Queen Blues" is the last song in 1-vinyl, not the first in 2-vinyl as it is credited. Maybe it has been mistake. I have also "Rather ripped" but it don´t have the book, that is in some copies. I was also very disappointed, when I bought my "the Eternal"-vinyl from the local record-shop, because there wasn´t the extras that was in the "Matador"-campaign. I didn´t order that vinyl from Matador, because I wasn´t sure, could it be possible to take a part that campaign in Europe also.

Mortte Jousimo · 03.11.2010, 08:19 AM

From the solos: I have only Goofin re-release of "Psychic Hearts" and that same version of "Trees outside the academy" that is in the picture and Kim´s Syr-album. I have been interested at Lee´s solos, because he makes so much good music with Sonic, but I haven´t yet asked nowhere, is there something available in vinyl.

No, all versions other than the Aussie one are black.
Off the top of my head, the only official coloured SY LPs are the pink SST Evol & purple SST Sister (both very hard to find), the orange Aussie Dirty & both the Euro & US pressings of EJST&NS (blue).
As you've probably seen, there's a lot of coloured copies of EVOL & Goo on eBay these days, but they're all bootlegs (didn't stop me paying way over the odds when they first appeared though

)

If you haven't already seen it, the Discog additions thread has other bits & pieces that may not have made their way onto the site yet as well.

i hope my pink SST Evol and purple Sister are the real deal, i payed a lot of money for them both.

radarmaker · 03.11.2010, 12:32 PM

Yeah, you should be safe - if there were boots of those, I'd expect them to turn up a lot more often than they do.
