Hell ya, Rwake's live album from Maryland Deathfest '12 is finally getting released! (And I'm probably the only one on the board excited for it)
It was a DVD that was supposed to come out years ago, and then was going to be on Netflix. Finally seeing the light of day. And they're releasing it as a vinyl/dvd combo pack.
Head here to order, only 463 released. Picked up the green one myself. Vinyl is only $13.50, but $20 shipping since it's coming from Poland.
Just found this turntable and snagged it. It seems to be working fine. Not sure if I should replace the cartridge or just the stylus. All the stuff I found online said it was quality but a lot of the pictures that went with the articles didn't match mine so I'm not sure what the differences are

Just replaced the cartridge on my AT-LP120 after a while of refraining from listening with a damaged one and damn, does it feel good. Kind of embarrassed that I managed to wear out the needle so quickly due to general carelessness, but I think I noticed the damage quickly enough to where I didn't hurt my records. Can't wait to start picking up vinyl again! It's been a long time comin'.....

Also!! I just found out the speakers I have for my turntable double as headphone amps. Yay for being able to listen to records without bothering the roommates! (Though, my impeccable music taste should be seen as gift to them ;P)

I didn't want the 6-LP Score for Back to the Future but was thinking about the soundtrack to the first movie. Did those all sell out immediately too? Were they limited?
Clocking in at over 80 minutes, The Fallout 3: Original Game Soundtrack Deluxe Box Set collects for the fi rst time ever on vinyl, the full 29 track game score by renowned game composer Inon Zur (Everquest, Assassin’s Creed, Dragon Age).
Already a best-selling title boasting over 4.6 million units sold worldwide, Fallout 3 enjoyed a 1,163% sales boost upon the formal announcement of the upcoming release of Fallout 4 during E3 2015.
Bringing box set editions to a whole new level, the Fallout 3 Original Game Soundtrack Deluxe Box Set package includes three LPs and one 7” packaged in a mammoth four pocket, three gatefold jacket which is housed in a full color heavy board stock slipcover.
Fallout 3 was featured in IGN’s “Best Video and Computer Games of the Decade” (2000–2009), with the game being placed top game of 2008 and seventh overall game of the decade. In 2012, Fallout 3 was also exhibited at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. That same year, G4tv ranked it as the 75th top video game of all time.

Don't know how I missed this announcement. More White STripes goodies from the Vault for this quarter:
As Third Man prepares for the unveiling of its new storefront location in the Cass Corridor in Detroit, we’ve naturally looked back to our history and roots there. Less than a mile from the new TMR location (441 West Canfield) sat an important bar called the Gold Dollar. This bar not only hosted the first two live performances by the White Stripes (both featured in Vault package #13), but quite a few more legendary early sets by the band. Through their woodshedding Detroit years, the Gold Dollar stage would be where the White Stripes would continue to make their most important progress. After the Stripes finished the tracking of their first album (also taking place just a stone’s throw from the Dollar) in January 1999, they immediately focused attention on a live performance at the Gold Dollar on Saturday February 6th, 1999. Lead singer Jack White designed and printed two striking, distinct flyers to promote the show and the local free weekly Metro Times even did a mini-preview on the band to drum up interest for the show. With good friends They Come in Threes supporting the Stripes' second-ever headlining show, the gig was notable for the first-ever live performances of songs “Astro”, “Suzy Lee” and the Robert Johnson classic “Stop Breaking Down”…all of which would be featured on their self-titled debut album released just three months later. The transitional nature of the setlist of this performance captures the band as they grapple with the impending release of their new album and the best way to showcase that material prior to its release.
As the focal point of Vault package #26, a complete recording from that evening, newly mixed from original multi-track sources, will be pressed on blood red vinyl and made available to subscribers worldwide. The White Stripes Live at the Gold Dollar Vol. III is the third release (Vault 13 comprised both volumes I and II) in an on-going series that will eventually see the release of all extant audio from the band at the Gold Dollar. There are still many unheard treasures to be revealed.
This is the first White Stripes show released from the pivotal year 1999…the year which saw the band unleash their first album, do their first extended run of touring with three shows opening for Pavement in the Southeast and found Jack White buying his soon-to-be trademark Airline guitar…all building blocks to what would eventually turn the band into the international juggernaut they became.
The White Stripes Live at the Gold Dollar Vol. III
Track list:
Broken Bricks Jimmy the Exploder The Big Three Killed My Baby Stop Breaking Down (first live performance) (Robert Johnson) Suzy Lee (first live performance) Let’s Build a Home Sugar Never Tasted So Good Do Little People One More Cup of Coffee (Bob Dylan) Astro (first live performance) Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground Wasting My Time Red Bowling Ball Ruth Cannon/John the Revelator/Grinnin' in Your Face (Son House) Let’s Shake Hands
In conjunction with the live album, a reproduction of one of the Jack White-designed flyers for that evening… three black-and-white peppermints, each varying in circumference and oriented on top of each other…will be included in the package as an 10.75” x 14" iron-on transfer. All Vault members will be welcome to submit photos of their use of the transfer and the member who’s submission is considered the “best” by the TMR team will win a rare, limited test pressing of the aforementioned LP.
Additionally, the other flyer from that evening (also a peppermint, this time on a field of red sparkly naugahyde) AND the setlist as written in Jack’s hand will be included as high-quality color reproductions. Fully utilizing everything in the TMR archives to round out the package finds us also printing the news clipping of the show preview and the hand-written price list from the merch table for that night. Third Man is nothing if not thorough.
Completing the Gold Dollar presentation will be two full-color, 8 x 10, glossy prints of photographs taken by the estimable Doug Coombe, featuring Jack and Meg live on stage at the tiny Cass Corridor club in 1999. These are visually arresting to say the least.
The 7” for Vault 26 is a continuation of the Dead Weather single series, pairing the moving torch song “Impossible Winner” and “Mile Markers.” When complete, every song from the Dead Weather’s critically-lauded album Dodge and Burn will appear exclusively in 7” form as a single on captivatingly colored vinyl. Are these two songs a hint as to the next possibly music video to come from this merry band of grifters…it seems only time will tell. In the meantime, enjoy Alison belt this one out complete with string section accompaniment and revel in the inherent beauty in this transcendent album-closer.
Harkening back to where this all started, the bonus item for this vault package will be an impressive 1.25” enamel pin of the new Third Man Records Cass Corridor logo. Soon to be seen on the lapels and collars of bon vivants the world over, this dazzling pin will no doubt impress even the most die-hard skeptics.
Subscriptions are open now. Like a Texas election, sign-up early and sign-up often. The subscription deadline for Vault Package #26 is OCTOBER 31st.

Amazon recently redesigned its vinyl store, and to celebrate the soft relaunch, they’ll be giving away a different record every day for the next two weeks. Running until November 4, the promotion is kicking off with Led Zeppelin’s Led Zeppelin I. The competition is only for those in the US, and can be accessed here. The new store front is likely a response to the increase in vinyl sales as of late, which has resulted in vinyl sales actually netting bigger figures in the US than streaming revenue.
Amazon are placing a bigger focus on vinyl sales due to the renewed interest in the format, making it easier to jump into building a collection now more than ever. For more information about the promotion head here.
This is my least favorite list from the past couple years. Nothing really grabs me, but that is fine this year because there are a ton of LPs from this fall that I can spend money on.

I rarely see anything on the RSD list that I'd want to spend money on that I could be using for a really good LP that was released that month. I'd be interested in that Howlin' Wolf London Sessions if I had not bought a copy years ago at a pre-loved vinyl store.
Is anyone else spluring on 99 Love Songs' re-release? I want it so bad but... $99?
6 pieces of vinyl, so about $16/slab, and I bet the packaging is nice too. So the price is "reasonable", if you think of it that way. I used to love that album a while back but I won't be spending $100 for another heavy box I have to store.

So, is buying shitty records that are somehow "limited" a thing you're into? Were you one of those kids who threw away all his money on bullshit gimmick collectible comic books in the early 90s, too?
Wow, you really are an asshole huh? Please refrain from commenting on anything I say. you are ignored from here on out. Troll little Bitch
Bit the bullet and bought The Epic last night. Definitely the longest album I own on vinyl by a factor of two, so I'm curious to see how much of a hassle it'll be. Anyone have something comparable and experience to share?
