Is NYC G&F LP rare?
 
uh?

stu666 11.23.2008 04:27 PM

i can't find a copy on ebay so it must be.

EDIT: they have 3 copies on Amazon.co.uk all used, price ranges from £59.70 - £177.62.

i didn't realise it was that hard to find on vinyl and i don't have it yet :(

EDIT AGAIN: Amazon.com have new copies for $40.00

it was hard enough for me to track down the album on cd a few months ago, i had to buy it on amazon imported from california and i live in england!

marleypumpkin 11.23.2008 06:42 PM

I've got one, ;-)

I searched long and hard for NYC G+F on vinyl, I ended up buying the cheapest LP on Amazon.com Used & New and the fuckers sent me a CD! I was not a happy man. Nonetheless, its the not the format that counts, it's the music and damn is it good.

I still looking for a vinyl copy...

Chris Lawrence 11.24.2008 12:54 AM

Me too! I think this and Jet Set are the only ones I don't have.

nicfit 11.24.2008 02:11 AM

Uff.
Looks like the best option would be an international order from amazon (hoping they won't send a cd...sorry for that, TINT :D), and still the price is quite high... I can't even play LPs, but I'd love to have it, I'll think about it as a self-present for my birthday perhaps...Right now I have 3 copies on cd ha ha, I love it so much I keep on buying copies when I find good deals on ebay, then I give them away to friends, I think I bought 7-8 copies up till now.
Karma should make me find a LP for 3E in the "bargains"bin in some shop in my town.

I saw a brand new copy in my local record store a few weeks ago. I forgot how much it was going for.

I live in the UK as well and I found it in HMV for about £5. Haha.

PAULYBEE2656 11.24.2008 02:01 PM

i got mine dirt cheap when it came out.. in fact all bargain bin places have it in abundance..... the vinyl is around dublin shops alright, well was about 3 months ago...

Rob Instigator 11.24.2008 02:05 PM

it is fairly rare. they did not press too many on vinyl.

andrei 11.25.2008 07:10 AM

i'm looking for it forever, too. i ended up buing a cassette version for ~2 bucks in a local store. sick, since it's the only SY record i found in my country.

radarmaker 11.25.2008 11:39 AM

It's not stupid-rare or anything (those Amazon prices are ludicrous), though it's definitely the least common Geffen LP (partially because there's only a US pressing, no Euro or Japanese vinyl copies). I guess Geffen weren't too keen on vinyl by this point, which is why all the subsequent LPs have been released through Goofin'.

There was an eBay seller who had loads of sealed ones that were selling for anywhere between $20-$50 a few months ago. I paid about $25.

Chris Lawrence 11.26.2008 05:07 PM

this is one album that i'd actually be very curious to hear on vinyl, because i hated how the CD sounded (though that hatred may have dulled over the years) and would welcome at the very least a different dynamic to the overall sound...

nicfit 11.26.2008 05:45 PM

Damn, I absolutely LOVE its sound on cd, Chris!

by the way, if someone of you usa people can score a copy for a decent price I'll galdly pay to have it sent over here.

guitarpro 12.16.2008 03:47 PM

I got a copy lol.
