Lou Reed is gonna be at lolla

Saw a VINYL copy of Live at the Gymnasum in the record store today. I'm going back to get it. I don't care what my bank account says.

I've seen that relatively frequently. I'd hold off if it's above normal-record price.

What's normal record price these days??!!! New LP prices seem to have gone through the roof. I think I saw this marked at around 19 USD--which compared to a lot of new stuff, is cheap.

Do you think it's not worth picking up?

I sold a really nice strong VG+-to-EX copy of VU and Nico (stereo, non-torso, but still very nice) for a couple of hundred dollars recently.
I have a few more, but they're not as nice as that one.
Also, at my workplace there is a pretty pristine original of WL/WH, but the pressing has a giant bubble in it. Like a huge, skipping bubble. Sucks!! I would rather have seen a sleeve scuff than a freaking bubble.

Savage, do you mean original pressings of VU&Nico? Cuz I've got pristine recent reissues of various kinds (stereo, mono, colored, with torso, etc.). There's bunches of those reissues in the store right now, too, for around 20 bucks.

I was talking originals, yeah.

OK. That's very different.

Well, I personally have enough VU to last me the rest of time, but you seem much more of an audiophile than me. I've seen it around £15, which is close enough to $19, so if you think that's a fair price, you go girl!

If you're taking recommendations from me on a musical level though, there's a Kremer recording of Bach's Sonatas and Partitas that is completely brilliant.

Thanks... that helps a lot... .

In retrospect, I really want you to buy a Happy Hardcore compilation...

I don't know what that is.

Consider yourself lucky.

i just got the velvets bootleg box. they sound almost as good on bootlegs and demos as they do on the legendary albums. i love the version of "im waiting for the man" which is played as a dirty as fuck punk song (which it is anyways) but cale is allowd to go nuts with the viola noise. best band of all time.

I have the s/t album. I think it's an amazing album. Love it!

Guess what I saw today. A reissue of VU&Nico on vinyl WITH the peel sticker, sealed, one of the recent 180 gram issues. I thought about it for a moment, let me tell you. But 30 fucking USD?!

That's a good deal compared to what it would be here.
