Last Album You Bought? - Page 33

I'm not of fan of hers, but that's a great CD cover.

gmku · 08.18.2006, 08:59 AM

It's totally unlike her previous stuff up until this. None of that bland "As Tears Go By" stuff. This is a dark, cool masterpiece.

gmku · 08.18.2006, 11:43 AM

So my replacement copy comes with two stickers on the front. A circular transparent "Promotional Copy Not for Sale" and a white tab declaring "Contains Language Unsuitable for Some Listeners." And on the back, some jerk has, in INK no less, written in block letters nex to "Why'd Ya Do It" the word "NO." That song has the profanity, but jesus, why do people mark up their records. I can understand the stickers, but to WRITE on the cover?!!

All I can figure is it must have been a radio station copy and the manager wanted to make sure no DJ played the dirty song.

Should I try removing the stickers or just leave them? The vinyl sounds hardly played, by the way.

It was probably a college radio station's copy & someone wrote "NO" next to that song to prevent it from being played by someone that didn't realize that it violates FCC rules.

oops, now I read your whole post.

acousticrock87 · 08.18.2006, 10:55 PM

I hate that. Cut outs are usually about the best deal you can get, but not when they're written on. That blows.

bought daydream nation again cause i can't find it!

Bought these:

The top one is Brazil Classics 1 with stuff like Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben, Gilberto Gil et al....

And, yes, I got Funhouse because up to now I only had a burned copy of it. Pretty bad form eh?

And I reckon that Terry Riley record has one of the most subtly sinister covers in music history.

Fortunately I found another copy the next day that's almost perfect--immaculate cover, even looks better printed than my original, with deeper inks and reproduction overall. Even came with one of those fancy Japanese audiophile inner sleeves. Strangely, the vinyl on the DJ copy sounds a little better than the cleaner looking copy.

I hate when that happens--as it did recently with my copy of Broken English. I think that was just a leftover from the days my daughter and her friends used to ransack my collection, and I just didn't notice until now. Which is also why I now keep everything locked up in a closet. It's taken me about 3 years to replace the many CDs and the few LPs that walked out of my house. I replaced almost every misisng CD with vinyl.

*Edit. I'm thinking what I earn or how I earn it is between me and the IRS. I have made it my raison d'arte to keep the local record store around the corner solvent. I think that's a noble ambition.

How much do you make? And how do you like to spend your money?

On drugs and punk rock records.Punk.

Keiji Haino - Reveal'd To None As Yet-An Expedience To Utterly Vanish Consciousness While Still Alive, Live at Super Deluxe, April 7, 2005

There've been two copies sitting at the record store for quite a while. Finally decided to spend the $25 on it.

I just bought a couple of records that my friend got from his dad:

Grateful Dead - Anthem Of The Sun
Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (Skull & Roses)
Grateful Dead - Steal Your Face
Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station
Grateful Dead - Skeletons From The Closet: The Very Best Of The Grateful Dead.

and the LPs sound really good too.

Cantankerous · 08.22.2006, 08:05 PM

the 10" EP, not the green 7" single
