spill yr vinyls - YOUR SY COLLECTION! BOAST! PICS! HERE!
 

So c'mon, between us we must have a pretty brilliant SY collection. Show me what you've got - vinyl, cd, flexi or otherwise. What're you most proud of? What do you regret buying?! What cost the most?!!! What's the most interesting?!!!!! What's the RAREST?!??!?!?!????????

I want to see some of the coolest SY wares out there. We probably did this last week or something but y'know.

I don't really have an SY vinyl collection. I only bothered grabbing this:




SY - SY
Zensor

I'm gonna sell and look for a Neutral copy.

I have a small SY vinyl collection. About have of the studio albums, some splits, and four of the syrs.

My favorite of them is the split with Erase Errata.

Lets go on a sonic tour of my room, through all my SY stuff. I actually missed a bunch of things, but whatever:

Niiice. I really need to get myself some SY merch along with the music. Though I do have a custom-made *PURPLE AND LILAC* version of the Goo t-shirt which I feel is pretty sharp.

N. j. on the DDN effort, too.

I have some t-shirts too, but thats just about it.

C'monnn people, MOOORRRREEEE. There must be some fucking amazing other finds out there.

CHOUT and Rob Instigator both have nice collections.

They do.

im neither a fetishist nor a collector. you mean fetishist includes all? ok then. no. lack the gene.

Ive got a box of miniDV masters sitting by my feet. maybe 20 or so SY-related tapes in there.

Those are cooler to me than my records. Although I've got some cool things like master-dik, promo copy of first EP, touch me I'm sick 12", and made in america clear vinyl

This is incomplete - got a few things since.



I've gotten great deals on much of it - $25 for Walls Have Ears, $7.99 Kill Yr Idols (before the CIS/KYR reissue), Zensor S/T for $30 with the Sister Interview Disc, Zensor CIS for $18...

The most I ever paid for a sy record is $65 for the (over)kill yr idols 7".


With cd's

i allready have 3 sy (related) vinyls! hehe.






the one on the right is my favourite. one on the left i bought just because of lp bonus tracks and the one in the middle I've found in the shop (never heard about this project before) so I grabbed it. haven't heard it yet, coz i still don't have turntable player.

I've got an autographed copy of Kill Your Idols, but I don't feel like taking a photo of it. I had it signed on the Dirty tour at an instore in Seattle. Steve signed the sleeve on the inside since he's not actually on the record.

Are they for sale? My SY collection is incomplete, you see.

I love the jazzmaster in the background of that pic... think I might pull a similar stunt..

have most of their stuff but not all of it. i used to really want it all but relaised that it would drive me mad to do so.

ditto. also, began to question the validity of spending money on records of CDs I already own, especially when there is so much other unheard stuff I need to explore

I just buy the cd's. I don't own any vinyls, main reason is because I don't own a recordplayer. Even though I'd love to have everything on vinyl, right now I'm pretty happy with my cd's...

Christ almighty, CHOUT... pretty comprehensive. Is that Walls Have Ears numbered?

I often wonder do Sonic Youth own recordings of everything they've ever put out. If they did that would be a killer SY collection. Often people don't ever have their own records in the house..

I stopped buying vinyl years ago but I've got the following interesting stuff:

shaking hell/little jammy thing (7", came with a book I think)
teenage riot (flexi disc with Catalogue magazine)
2 peel sessions (Fall and Speak No Evol) and hallowed be thy name, 7"s
Thurston's Root CD in limited edition hoover bag packaging (!)
Halloween 12 on yellow vinyl
Goo 8 track demos vinyl (it says promo copy) - not sure if this is rare
KYI on Zensor
Touch Me 12" with tour date insert for SY and Mudhoney (and reference to SY's appearance on TV arts show, the South Bank show)
Come smash me/magic wand - 7" that came with Devil's Jukebox set
I've also got Walls but not the first pressing and original pressing of Tiger

No photos though. Can't be bothered, sorry.

Oh yeah, and a 7" of the carpenters track, superstar, SY recorded for tribute album. Red Kross is on the other side.
Also, a couple of tracks on compilation 7" given out by Sounds and NME many years ago. I think the tracks were a version of silver rocket and a live cut of white kross.
That's mine, over and out.

vinyl:
murray st.
syr 1

cd:
washing machine
dirty
evol
rather ripped
daydream nation
sonic nurse




quite incomplete. i'd rather spend my moolah on clothes.

Unfortunately no, it's probably a later edition...I found it in the basement of a record store in a coop the same day I found my Zensor copy of confusion is sex in said basement...needless to say it made my day.

some people buy cds.

fucking awesome! That would have made my month! I would have whupped my cock out and started pissing on all the otrher records screaming at the top of my lungs, "Everything else is CRAP!"

I buy CD's too. You know how expensive a Xiu Xiu vinyl is? shiiiiit

shirts and bag

CD's and records

Posters

That last poster is so cool.

Uuuugh, Fuck you, Rob. I haaaaaaate you!

you can focus on non-essentials like records when you are 33, divorced, and cannot have children.

and an original pressing of Y Pants: Beat it Down on Neutral Records (the second album on that label, right after SY self titled), from a radio station purge sale, with radio station markings ALL over it.
