Hey ult, I started a vinyl thread at the Cave also because I think you need more double posting in your life:

You can thank me later.

Recent Vinyl Trade Pickups:

DEEP PURPLE - Shades of Deep Purple (180 gram reissue w/ orig. cover art)
GRAND FUNK RAILROAD - Closer to Home (gatefold)
KANSAS - Monolith (gatefold & pic sleeve)
MORNING STAR (feat. Walt Richardson) - Morning Star (local reggae artist)
YES - Fragile (gatefold)

I scored on a very good copy of Uriah Heep "The Magicians Birthday" It is a gatefold and has the smaller size lyric sheet on construction type paper that is seperate from the sleeve and also included a small post card size mail in order form for a Mercury records catalog with check boxes to determine which kind of music you wanted to have a catalog sent. Never saw that before.

Oh yeah it was for 2 bucks at my favorite Mom and Pop used vinyl shop
Laterz
the album is really good 70's rock by the way
lots of varied stuff on it..

In the mail today:

7" Red Vinyl!

Already have Vol. 2, Red Vinyl. Vol. 3 is pre-ordered. Hoping to get the yellow/red splatter of Vol. 3.

Order two. I got a splatter and red vinyl with volumes 1 and 2, and I think that's because I ordered two each time. If I don't get the splatter on volume 3, I'm ordering two copies of volume 4!

Sorry I shafted you! Haha!

Right on.... got me Rigor Mortis and Fate's "Don't Break he Oath" Nice thrift store finds.... They had a Venom and Slayer lp as well, but no vinyl inside. Thought about getting them anyways ? Know that if I go back they'll be gone.

Do you order most of your stuff or do you come across stuff in your travels ? Laterz

Very cool. Nice collectible.

yesterday at a thrift store....69 cents a piece

Rush
Caress Of Steel
2112
Farewell To Kings
Hemispheres
Permenant Waves
Moving Pictures
Signals
Grace Under Pressure
Power Windows

I would rate the covers and vinyl collectivily at B
have to investigate the sleeve situation as too what is supposed to be there and what actually is. I know these are not rare.... I am always trying to better the condition of what I have. The listening experience is always better with quality vinyl.

I was shopping at a used record store, and saw a DIO "Hungry For Heaven" white vinyl going for $8. Worth buying?

Yesterday:

DEEP PURPLE - Who Do We Think We Are
JETHRO TULL - War Child
JETHRO TULL - Songs From the Wood
JETHRO TULL - Bursting Out
