Not the material, but records. Records are the shit. So much so that I'm trying to build my collection to a degree I never thought I would take it.

I'm looking to buy some new vinyl records but the only places I know to look are pretty friggin' expensive. AcousticSounds has a good selection of more modern stuff but their prices are a little steep. I'm wanting to get as many of the Radiohead and Wilco albums on vinyl as I can as well as a list of other stuff I currently own in some other format.

Any help with my search is much appreciated. Even if someone out there has some of these and is willing to work a trade let me know.

i could go to the record store down the street and get every wilco album (except a.m.) on vinyl right now. i'm not sure what they have in regard to radiohead.

there's gemm.com too. i have never used them, but one store i used to visit has everything of theirs online there. i need to do my digging at a real store. finding good records among dozens of kansas and fleetwood macs is the real fun of record collecting.

Speaking of vinyl...



I'm looking for the record cover of Tricky's Blowback album. I love the artwork and want to frame it. Anyone have it to sell or at least know where I can get my hands on one?

I'm buyin'...

That's funny, I feel the same way about Chynna Phillips' Naked and Sacred

Radiohead & Wilco you won't find, but some of the best '50s-'70s originals & re-issues (country-western-garage-hard/acid rock) on the 'net IMO. Go hither. Careful, though. Get sucked in and it'll beat up yer wallet.

Nice.

I think there's a shot of this somewhere where its not so close, that's the one I want actually. I've no idea where to find it unless someone here knows who the photographer is.

Mostly, I buy locally, but occasiionally go online. Good sources depend on what you're looking for, but a few are...

www.CircuitCity.com - Oddly enough their online site has a pretty good vinyl collection at good prices and they ship quickly as well. Just click on the other formats buttons when you're looking at a record and if its in print on vinyl, they'll usually have it.

www.scratchrecords.com - A Canadian record shop with a pretty big catalog. Their prices are really good and they ship pretty quickly too. The only problem is I've found they have more listed online than actually in stock. You place an order and then they email you with what they actually have, so it can be a pain and ads a step. But, their selection is still actually pretty good and like I said, good prices.

www.insound.com - They've got a pretty good vinyl selection, especially if you like indie rock kinda stuff. They sometimes have vinyl versions of more mainstream stuff. They may run a buck or two more than some other spots, but not bad. The site is weasy to use and what they list in is always actually in from my dealings. Quick but a little expensive on the shipping.

www.forcedexposure.com - Only indie label stuff here, so if its majot label, don't even bother. Great selection of small to obscure labels though.

www.turntablelab.com - DJ oriented site that carries a good selection of hip hop and electronic stuff. Decent prices and some good free bonus stuff with some items.

www.ebreggae.com - Best reggae selection anywhere. If you want reggae vinyl, this place will have it and have it at a good price or its gonna take some serious looking.

There's more, but those are the only ones I can remember ordering from off hand. There's the audiophile vinyl places, but really those folks are too expensive for me, although they do havegood jazz reissues and not all of them are priced high. If you like jazz look for the OJC reissues. They have great titles and are cheap. There's also a UK site called diversevinyl.com with a great selection, but it's expensive for me in the US.

Otherwise, there's always Ebay if you're really looking for something specific. There's also www.gemm.com, but I've had poor luck with that site, although Ive heard other folks have found good deals there.

OH...and that Tricky album shouldn't be too hard to find on vinyl, especially since its not too popular, although personally I like it. I picked up a copy for like 5 bucks locally. They probably pop up on Ebay pretty reasonably and often. Anybody remember the online game on Tricky's site when Blowback came out where you had to blow smoke in the chicks' mouths to keep them up in the air...or high I guess you could say?
