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.

gmku · 04.25.2009, 06:14 PM

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.

gmku · 04.25.2009, 06:17 PM

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.

Savage Clone · 04.25.2009, 06:18 PM

I was talking originals, yeah.

gmku · 04.25.2009, 06:21 PM

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.

gmku · 04.25.2009, 07:14 PM

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

Glice · 04.25.2009, 07:20 PM

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

gmku · 04.25.2009, 07:21 PM

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.

joe11121 · 05.09.2009, 08:04 PM

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

gmku · 05.09.2009, 09:05 PM

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?!

joe11121 · 05.09.2009, 09:30 PM

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