[quote name="Hitoshura"]
[quote name="Dr. Gonzo"]Not that this question matters too much but did you get this LP colored, splattered or traditional 180 gram black?[/quote]

none of the above! it's an original from 1985, it's plain black, probably 140g. 180 and up is heavyweight, usually only found on newer re-releases and special editions and such.

and in my experience it can be pretty important in terms of sound quality, more often than not fancy color editions (and especially picturediscs) sound bad. out of my collection, the transparent blue reissue of altars of madness is especially bad (which i didn't discover until ten years after buying it when i finally had a chance to gave it a spin), to the point that i emailed the earache asks blog complaining about it and asking what happened

the only colored vinyl i've got that i was very happy with the sound quality on is the neurosis 180g reissue of souls at zero. i generally avoid purchasing them now if i can, and always opt for black if given a choice.[/quote]

You did very well on those hauls.

As far as the coloured vinyls go. It's been hit or miss with me. I have the yellow/gold Pallbearer record and it plays just fine. My Windhand Soma on purple/white splatter does not. I have also bought some black vinyls as well. The most atrocious sounding one is the Antediluvian on standard black that skips more than a giddy schoolgirl.

I did do some research on the subject and found out that it's a repressing issue on that particular item. With that said. Don't buy from anyone supporting the manufacturer called Pirate Press. Imo they have done me kinda shadily. Now I try to get first pressings only and that has worked very well for me.

Do band shirts count in this thread? If so, well...I just ordered this bad boy:

I say yes. It supports the band in some shape or form. Judges?

Abzu · Post by **Abzu** » 28 Feb 2014, 09:56

That shirt is great. However, if we allow band shirts in this thread, it will become smelly masturbating over slam shirts.

Dr. Gonzo · Post by **Dr. Gonzo** » 28 Feb 2014, 10:07

So patches and band stickers are out as well?

agony bagony · Post by **agony bagony** » 28 Feb 2014, 10:25

the thread is music haul

it is for music purchases. purchases that play music

not for any little music related thing

cds and vinyls and mp3s and other digital and analog dealies: yes

cloth: no

Dr. Gonzo · Post by **Dr. Gonzo** » 28 Feb 2014, 10:31

Seems fair that way. I get most patches and stickers free with my hauls anyway. \::/

The Blatz / Filth split lp came today.

A bit irritated that In The Nightside Eclipse hasn't arrived yet. I was hoping to have it by the 20th anniversary

agony bagony · Post by **agony bagony** » 28 Feb 2014, 20:19

Valid topic suggestion. I may do that once I get back into purchasing. Thanks!

agony bagony · Post by **agony bagony** » 01 Mar 2014, 21:19

yeah that's a pretty bitchingly great package all around. i can see why people go nuts for special LP packaging and gatefolds and such

jawn galliano · Post by **jawn galliano** » 01 Mar 2014, 21:37

i might get one of those reissues at some point. the original pressing was limited to 2000 copies so it's bound to be stupidly expensive

Dr. Gonzo · Post by **Dr. Gonzo** » 01 Mar 2014, 21:48

I just ordered this and I go broke for metal.

Bolzer third pressing of Aura on silver vinyl on NWN prod.

Got home from work just a few minutes ago and this was on my doorstep, nestled neatly in a brown USPS box. Didn't take very long to get to me either.

Bolzer - Aura

dont get them from amazon tarasaur. for reals

Inverted Crosses And Gorebongs · 20 Mar 2014, 04:19

It's too late as they were ordered yesterday. But, after reading the thread on Facebook, I will never purchase music through amazon again.

agony bagony · Post by **agony bagony** » 20 Mar 2014, 04:22

i could have gotten twice as many cds as i did last month if i had bought through amazon and even more if i'd bought used on amazon. but i would rather spend more money and support bands and small interesting labels than less money and have most of it go to a corporation that doesn't care about the labels or the bands in the first place
