Merge Records does just that as the norm - vinyl releases come with a free Mp3 version of the LP from their site.

I think Touch and Go does this too. The latest Shellac also just had a loose CD inside the album.

Originally posted by azaghal1981:Vinyl may be more popular recently, but this is a bit much. I read somewhere (Coolfer maybe?) that vinyl accounts for a miniscule perentage of music sales. Like a fraction of a percent. That's a far cry from "major tributary".
As counterintuitive as it may seem in this age of iPods and digital downloads, vinyl -- the favorite physical format of indie music collectors and audiophiles
-- is poised to re-enter the mainstream, or at least become a major tributary.
Because these music fans also listen using portable players and computers, Matador and other labels include coupons in record packaging that can be used[/b]
to download MP3 versions of the songs.

Originally posted by azaghal1981:from an audiophile perspective, i wish there was a mid-way point between CDs and vinyl. the dynamic range on CDs does suck all too often, the fact that it's done on purpose is a crime against humanity. vinyl's fidelity b/c of analog is *theoretically* better, but at an unacceptable cost IMO: scratches, pops, wobble, flutter, etc.
Portability is no longer any reason to stick with CDs, and neither is audio quality. Although
vinyl purists are ripe for parody, they're right about one thing: Records can sound better than CDs.
Although CDs have a wider dynamic range, mastering houses are often encouraged to compress the audio on CDs to make it as loud as possible: It's the so-called loudness war. Since the audio on vinyl can't be compressed to such extremes, records generally offer a more nuanced sound.
Another reason for vinyl's sonic superiority is that no matter how high a sampling rate is, it can never contain all of the data present in an analog groove, Nyquist's theorem to the contrary.
"The digital world will never get there," said Chris Ashworth, owner of United Record Pressing, the country's largest record pressing plant.
Golden-eared audiophiles have long testified to vinyl's warmer, richer sound.

Luna have announced a box set compiling their five albums from the '90s called Luna: Long Players (92-99). In addition to the five reissued vinyl LPs, the box set will contain a sixth record, called Rarities, that compiles demos and B-sides. The box set will come in late fall/early winter via Captured Tracks.
The box set also features a 12x12 book with an interview with Dean Wareham conducted by director Noah Baumbach. Wareham and Baumbach have worked together in the past, with Wareham providing music for Baumbach's 2005 film The Squid and the Whale, and acting in 2013's Frances Ha.
Dean Wareham formed Luna in 1992 following the breakup of his former band, Galaxie 500. Luna broke up in 2004, but reunited late last year and went on a brief European tour. The band will continue the reunion tour with a new string of dates to accompany the box set.
Luna: Long Players (92-99) box set:
Lunapark (1992)
Bewitched (1994)
Penthouse (1995)
Pup Tent (1997)

04 That's What You Always Say (The Dream Syndicate cover from Slide EP, 1993)

Funny how they might move back to Plaza del Mercado, which is where I first shopped them. Maybe Bobby Rencher could work for them again.

Sorry if this question is a repeat but where do you all go to read about the sound quality of vinyl reissues? Apparently there are labels to avoid and labels to follow....versions to buy and versions to avoid.avoid 4 men with beards - unfortunately the only way to get pre-retirement 70's era miles davis and the 1st 4 scott walker lps.

Yeah...I followed the kickstarter for weeks/months and finally pledged and got a small discount.
What am I missing with this thing when I think "Wait, can't you just get something for $50 at IKEA that does the exact same thing?"

$400 for a proper build is not too bad

It actually hasn't even started yet....The band, Beach Fossils, will play a fictional "proto-punk" group from the 70's on the show. That's the band there in his sunglasses reflection.

My intention was never to appear I had all the answers. Your response was educational and if I ever sound uneducated I am more than happy for someone to call me out on it, however data to back it up is suggested. (hence my rant about hipsters claiming vinyl sounds better without science to back it up) That being said I am curious...
for someone that just showed up last week you really seem to think you have all the answers..so wrong so much though..
the vinyl degrades with every play bit is not true...I have records from the 1950s that sound fabulous even if they have been played... if I play a record today and then again tomorrow I don't notice any difference.. as long as I take care of my records, play it with a decent needle etc.. why should it degrade?
and even digital recordings often sound better on vinyl...in addition, a ton of new digital recordings have different masterings for vinyl than cd.. masterings that aren't ear bleeders or brickwalled as bad.. it makes a big difference
and how would you know people buy vinyl simply to collect it and not listen to it?
a ton of the vinyl people listen to is from when vinyl was analog and the cd counterparts- from when they were "digitalized" - sound pretty horrible in relative terms..
earlier today I went to a record store and picked up 14 slabs of vinyl for $20.. not one of them is from a digital source...
if you go to the record fair this weekend - I can't make it- you will notice 99% of the vinyl purchased is from analog tape.

I never got it on vinyl and that's one that I'd like to add to my collection. I think it's actually a fair cost for both. I picked up a super cool red starburst Stooges "Fun House" LP from Newbury last year. Looks great, sounds even better.

saw a nice dj promo copy of lou reed "transformer" with big song timing sticker and rubber stamp from madison college radio for $20 at rtx in fairfax today.
thought about it later again, but you can't buy everything.
probably the only copy they received from rca.
how many times was that wotws played on the air?
call first before you drive over there on sunday, somebody.
wondering what else was in that box from the label.
dammit! regret! when will i ever learn?

How were the dollar bins? I sometimes find great stuff in there. That place has its ups and downs for good second hand stuff.
I'd say a good 40% of my record collection is promo copies. Pretty much any obscure band I find is a promo copy. It is rare to find the really big name stuff in promo form, like Beatles, Led Zeppelin etc. I have a few really cool ones like a promo-mono White Light/White Heat.
Where did you see a list of RSD 2016 releases????the "official" list is out Tuesday? I think.
TO THE MANY CUSTOMERS AND FRIENDS OF CROOKED BEAT RECORDS:
Some of you have inquired about the future of Crooked Beat at our current location at 2116 18th Street in DC.
It is true that last year we worked out an agreement to stay in our current location for several more years. In the interim though, there have been issues with our building that have progressively gotten worse that I will not elaborate on. I work very long hours in this space and it has come to light that some of the existing problems are affecting my health. Therefore, out of concern for my health, I recently declined to sign a long-term extension of my lease, at least and until improvements are made to the building and conditions here are brought to a more satisfactory level. Nevertheless, even with efforts to remedy the problems with this old building, the attempted repairs have not been sufficient and the issues continue to persist. As a result, I am exploring options to leave this location and move to another space in the very near future.
First and foremost, I want to say that if possible, we would love to stay here in Adams Morgan or the surrounding area. Crooked Beat has been on 18th Street since 2004 and we really do love being here. We have hundreds of loyal customers who been coming to us for many years, including a large number of people who have been patrons of Crooked Beat for well over a decade. We even have some customers who have had a routine of coming in almost every Saturday and then heading over to Amsterdam Falafel Eatery further up on 18th Street. The reason I mention this is because Crooked Beat and Amsterdam Falafel both came to 18th Street and opened here around the same time in 2004.
So, the upshot is that it is our goal to stay in this part of DC if at all possible. However, we are well aware of the higher rents in the District that are now making it very challenging and difficult for ?Mom and Pop? businesses to exist in many parts of this city. As such, we are also exploring the possibility of relocating to H Street in NE DC, or even Arlington or Alexandria in Virginia. Also, we would appreciate any input from you regarding potential landing spots for Crooked Beat so if someone knows of any available locations suitable for a record shop such as this, please feel free to e-mail me.
Thank you all for the many years of loyal patronage and
hopefully there will be many more to come!
- Bill Daly

I miss Yoshitoshi. It was my favorite record store and closed only a year after I started going. I imagine the rent was expensive in Georgetown.i forgot about that place - so cool - up some narrow stairs - japanese toys and mags and stuff, too.
From the owner of Crooked Beatcrap - bill is one of the nicest guys in the biz - i worked in a toxic building for many years - took me 2 years to feel alright. cd cellar's old space in clarendon is too pricy. other spots in arlington sound promising. some amazing spots in old town warrenton, but who's gonna come out there? erm, me.

I demand an explanation for the unholy alliance of 2016 score, dyecraig!a nice lady that runs auctions out here has a barn in the back and lets me know when she has a stash.
Did Henry Rollins sell off his triplicates??

believe me, i was losing my mind looking through this stuff.
some of the covers were pretty filthy, but the vinyl was clean.
she did not have a story about the records, but definitely someone from the u.k. or europe with amazing taste/luck.
basically just let me cherry pick it and gave her a benjamin for the time, effort and dirt.
wifey told me i'm done now.
very interesting...did you read this in that article...the cloning possibilities with that one
The interior of each record contains actual blood from the artists who worked on it (Erykah Badu, Ke$ha, and Chris Martin among them).i]

so when it comes to original pressings of early stones or dylan lps, what is more desirable - mono or stereo?
maybe i mean "valuable".
so i guess phil spector was right about one thing.so when it comes to original pressings of early stones or dylan lps, what is more desirable - mono or stereo?
maybe i mean "valuable".
well they were recorded with mono in mind so I think mono.... also in the case of columbia the covers for the mono are really the definitive ones... the first dylan album in stereo is a bit weird as there are the guitar, voice and harmonica.... and i think the voice is on one side and the guitar on the other...
quinteto violado.. niceit is.
if you order some vinyl from amazon, try to request an alternative delivery method to lasership.
they left a copy of beta band "championship versions" on my stoop in the blazing sun at 3:00 that i rescued by 3:20.
miraculously not warped, but i phoned customer service, which was an episode as anticipated.
now they have "special shade accommodations" just for me, when they deliver to my address.
yeah, right.

thanks for the 45s.. I was perusing them with interest.. some really cool stuff man!

I've always loved Hole, think Courtney is a great entertainer but she is by far one of the most despicable human beings. I've always been conflicted over this.
I do...but considering an upgrade as it's in bad shape
big old meh.
It is official! Crooked Beat has a NEW LOCATION!! We will be in North Alexandria at 802 NORTH FAIRFAX STREET. It is 2 blocks from the waterfront and not too far from the Braddock Station Metro (Blue/Yellow Line). It is also only a few traffic lights from DC via GW Parkway.
We hope to be reopened by the end of August. Stay Tuned!!
Well, that blows. I'll never make it out there.
I guess Joe's will never open at this point?
good listing/review of the current DC record stores (http://brightestyoungthings.com/articles/the-d-c-record-store-walking-tour)good read
they mention that Joe's is still in limbo
http://www.factmag.com/2016/08/10/vinyl-buyers-lonely-introverts/I will say I didn't need an article to tell me that, most people in record stores come in single.

Here's a random question. Does anyone know how to determine how rare a mis-print is? I found an 1980's copy of "Metal Circus" by Husker Du and was surprised that side 2 is actually side 4 of "Zen Arcade". Does anyone know how rare these are? The guy who did the in-depth Husker Du discography doesn't really know much about how rare they are, plus there isn't much online either. I was just curious if anyone on here might have any ideas of where I could get a better idea. Thanks!
I sold a first printing of Dead Kennedies' Fresh Fruit album on eBay for something like $85 because it had the original photo on the back (of an old time band, which sued Cherry Red for using the photo without authorization). I'd say throw it up on eBay and see if you get some weirdo collector.

ok but that is totally different.. people pay up the nose all the time for the original original first first more original than the original pressing...
misapplied labels is just a faulty product...
but yeah.. if you want to sell it you put it up on ebay for like $49.95 and see if anybody bites on a buy it now...or if you are ambivalent about selling it then just put it up at a really high price like $149.99 and who knows.... of course you're a huge bob mould fan
the best place to get an idea might be on discogs.. just look there and see if there is any such variant listed..sometimes they have them

that kind of thing adds no value to the record I have found..
is it rare? yes... probably very rare
it could even lessen the value..
(I realize most of you aren't this geeky...but it's a lot of fun to realize you've found something special at a bargain.)One of the high points of my life is finding a first edition, first printing of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest with a reviewer's name misspelled on the book jacket in a Free Little Library Box. I know that's a book -- and not a book about music -- so no one will care, but trust me it's a big deal.

Nothing wrong with that. My ride's head unit has a 20gb hard drive and support for two SD cards. This allows for FLAC versions of the best driving music Smackie can can find with no worries about storage space on my phone...
You must have the ears of a badger to tell the difference between FLAC and streaming direct from your phone via bluetooth.

You mean FLAC from a hard drive vs anything streaming from my phone over bluetooth, and you don't need to be a badger to tell the difference of local play vs streaming bluetooth. The skips alone....

You will.I purchase downloads or still buy LPs or CDs (and rip CDs...if LPs come with a download card, all the better). I got made fun of last week for having an old iPod.
The only reason to make fun of an old iPod is if it is redundant - like if you carry a cell phone that is not work prohibited. Knowing bearman, he probably has a GI blackberry and uses the iPod for music listening. If he has a secondary personal mobile device, well, that's grounds for being humorously told about the redundancy he has created for himself.

I really can't name any acts that have been able to just cut and run from the label world
Fugazi has a couple of multi-platinum albums.
Speaking exclusively in the rap realm, isn't that a big part of Chance the Rapper's shtick? Being self-released, and up until now, not selling his releases.I really can't name any acts that have been able to just cut and run from the label world
Macklemore. That's one of the only ones I can think of.
Nice. I'd forgotten the name of Sights and Sounds.
Anyone remember the name of the record store in Wheaton Triangle (not Phantasmagoria)? I can only remember it as Backstreet Records but I'm not sure that's right. It was a frequent stop when I used to bounce around MoCo looking for stuff.
There was a shop in downtown Bethesda, too, and I can't remember the name of that one, either.
Hoping someone can assist me with a vinyl setup query. Currently I have the following setup:
Orbit Special Turntable with built-in pre-amp -> Sonos Connect:AMP -> Two Sonos Play:5 on the other side of the room.
This works well but I would like the option to listen via headphones as well. I know I can plug directly into the Play:5s but they are inconveniently placed for headphone listening and there's some lag according to everything I've read online. How do I do this? Do I go:
Turntable w/Pre-amp -> Some sort of "splitter" -> Headphone Amp
-> Sonos Connect:Amp -> Play:5
or is there a Headphone Amp I can buy that has both headphone out and audio out both? Prefer not to add a receiver to the mix.

According to their website, you can exchange records you receive and have no interest in having with older 'Records Of The Month'. If true, this aspect surprised me and hence why I wanted to reach out to others.

They do! The records they choose are getting better/more diverse. I had a subscription at the beginning of 2016 as a gift but didn't have funds to keep renewing. Best ones so far were first repressing of Gorillaz- Demon Days on red vinyl, Main Source- Breaking Atoms on clear w/ color bleed out of the center, and The Books - The Lemon of Pink on starburst splatter (https://vmp-www.imgix.net/images/THEBOOKS_NEWSITE.original.png?w=1200&h=630)
Post some pics of your scores!!I’m inept...what’s the easiest way to do that?
I need a nice vinyl score!!! Been kind of dry lately....everybody is now chasing the records....even at record stores I see lots of flippers...that silver spring record fair at denizen's last sunday was cool.
Up for grabs at Gidgets Gadjets today...
Prince -- Graffiti Bridge

Steve Fallon (ex-Maxwell's club owner and Coyote records founder) is the one putting stuff up. He may have just put it up on his Facebook page...Gidgets Gadgets is his store in Rehoboth Beach, which is where he's selling most of the stuff. Right now it's just coming out piecemeal. But if you follow him on Facebook, if there's something you see he puts up that you like, you should be able to buy online.
Looking for a mint copy of "Gish" by Smashing Pumpkins on Caroline? He's got it.This would make a great gift for the certified weblebrity in your life.

@bearman, talked to your buddy Steve... WOW.
Sounds like an insane collection and I'll be paying a visit during our family vacation this summer. Talk about a gold mine of treasures, however, most likely way way way way out of the range that I'd ever pay for a record. The Midnight Vultures was for $320!!
What year is it?

What's a CD? Do we need a new thread to explain this new fangled technology?Consumer directed care is where a Medicaid recipient, instead of going through a company or a registry, hires their caregiver directly and CMS reimburses. You can usually still monetize it by charging finders-fees and doing the required 90-day nursing supervisory visits, though.

CD Cellar could probably stand to give some freebies out to people who stood in line for hours but bottom line is they keep their prices low....I bet some stores charged double for the Dylan (am looking at you Blue Groove)
Did you get what you were after Schulz? I did not see the Aretha 45 set at CD Cellar but did see the Al Green
could someone explain to me the attraction of a mono pressing? isn't that a step down in terms of sonic experience?
But it’s pretty complicated and generalizations are foolishsounds like a good description of Americans ;)

Was standing in line to get into Whole Foods across the street about two weeks ago and had a conversation with the guy behind me about exactly this. The theme was essentially "they've withstood every culture shift thrown their way - can they survive this?"

WhoaGotta factor into the cost that’s it’s going to require at least $150 in doobies to make this unwashed set of hippies sound even remotely tolerable.
The Story of the Grateful Dead. This 8 album, 14 disc set on colored 180g vinyl, cut direct-to-analog from original tapes, captures the breadth and influence of the great American rock band.

I continue to do my part - RSD Black Friday'ed in Catonsville, MD, and picked up the DBT and Uncle Tupelo. Then Estate Saled on Saturday and bought an English Beat, a General Public, and an Eartha Kitt record, and followed up by Small Business Saturdaying at Wax Atlas in Baltimore and picked up some cheap used Bob Dylan records, and New Porno's single for Myriad Harbour.
I want that Uncle Tupelo!
Good work
I want that Uncle Tupelo!Me too...the Lounge Ax is about the size of jamming java. must have been insanely packed

What's the most you've ever dropped on a single record? Not talking box sets as they tend to be expensive anyway.
I just balked at paying $40 for an ep. But I'm guilty of paying $250 for a record (only $100 was mine, but still....).

There is only one record store in Baltimore County, Maryland. Population of around 800,000. That record store is in Catonsville, MD, at least 20 minutes from me in Towson and even further away for a huge swath of the rest of Balco Population.
I think I found the perfect location for my Towson area record store, and probably only need around $500k to launch it. Seeking qualified investors. Serious inquiries only.
Record & Tape Traders in Towson closed?

Dude stop. As you know I am worse at fixing stuff than Space with his wife and daughter sitting on him…can confirm
If it’s not operating perfectly I can’t
I got to confess I gave up collecting all this stuff… not sure what I will do here
Buying new vinyl seems a mugs game and it seems increasingly impossible for an independent artist to get them timely pressed… up to a year and ever increasing manufacturing costs
What's more, the pressing problems that plagued vinyl in the 70s and 80s have come back full force. Lots of noisy, crap vinyl, warped, off center, etc.This is true. Just spitballing here, but what if instead of vinyl or plastic etching, we made records out of some sort of magnetic cellophane tape that could be played with some sort of special electromagnetic "needle"? This would be easier to produce, have more controllable quality, and potentially be easier to transport. Why are none of the big vinyl manufacturers R&Ding this sort of tech?
If the industry decided to create another format I’d probably just stick with digital for new releases.but we are living in a material world
I agree that QC has become a problem for vinyl. And I really don’t get why people collect color variants of the same record. But, then, I’m not materialistic.
I'm really kind of sad that no one found this funny.What's more, the pressing problems that plagued vinyl in the 70s and 80s have come back full force.

I don’t get the joke julianMy proposed “revolutionary technological improvement” to vinyl records is basically cassette tapes.
Sorry
I don’t get the joke julianMy proposed “revolutionary technological improvement” to vinyl records is basically cassette tapes.
Sorry
Wouldn’t reel to reel technology like they use in big fancy recording studios technically be better than vinyl?
I apologize to everyone for even making a joke about cassettes and triggering this discussion for the 7,000,000th time in board history.
The last thing the artist listened to before signing off , for decades, was the test pressing of the record …. They didn’t send Sinatra the reel to reel
Vinyl
I mean we have so many examples of this…the Beatles were given test pressings of the White Album and they gave one to Clapton who showed his off and played it on tour in the US before the album was released…Beatles were pissed
Because artists knew people would be buying the vinyl they wanted to listen to the record before release

value is a funny thing
it's only worth what someone will pay for it
If you sell it yourself you do the best, but the buyers can't rate you on credibility
if you go to sell to a record buy, you'll be lucky to get 40% of the 'value'

I don't get it. Aren't like 90% (or more!) of these songs on streaming services? I mean a playlist is free. And these songs don't seem to benefit from the (dubious) higher audio quality that vinyl delivers. And the artists royalties from a niche LP box set ultimately don't amount to a cup of coffee...so you say you care about the artists' royalties, yet use streaming services

Vinyl Grows For The 17th Straight Year, Taylor Swift Breaks Modern Sales Record (https://www.stereogum.com/2210268/vinyl-grows-for-the-17th-straight-year-taylor-swift-breaks-modern-sales-record/news/)
(...) Well, looks like the vinyl boom is also still going strong in the US. In 2022, for the second year in a row, vinyl sales outsold CDs in the US, according to the Luminate Year-End Music Report and Billboard. Likewise, vinyl sales grew for a 17th consecutive year in the US, with Taylor Swift’s Midnights being the top-selling vinyl in 2022 with 945,000 copies sold last year. In other words, Midnights was not just the top selling album of the year, it had the most vinyl sales in a year since Luminate — formerly SoundScan — began tracking in 1991. One out of every 25 vinyl albums sold was a Taylor Swift album, if you count Folklore‘s #7 spot.
(...)
In a funny bit of irony, the report also states that only half of fans buying records actually own a record player.
(...)
As for cassette tapes, in 2022 sales in the US increased by 28% to 440,000, up from 343,000 in 2021.
One out of every 25 vinyl albums sold was a Taylor Swift album, if you count Folklore‘s #7 spot.that is one crazy stat
Less than 1 million and you think it's not dead. Cool.
It's because you moved up the Tour presale if you added the code from your vinyl, Target package, cassette, etc. (just to prove that the 945,000 is a false number). How did that work out for everybody? I would suggest visiting Reddit /taylorswift for a sample.
a kids meal that is bought because it contains a toy is still a kids meal sold.I'd say in that example 90-98% of those meals are eaten

I learned this while watching someone unbox and then rant about the poor quality of the new $575 White Stripes - White Blood Cells - The Electric Recording Company pressing.

does it? they say they will continue working with other bands, this press isn't going 100% metallica... hetfield & co will certainly have priority, but i don't think they move enough volume to take over everything.

. “Congratulations to the 50 people who ordered the ‘Gold’ version of our new record,” reads the caption. “You just bought a liquid disc full of our piss. We worked with local legends @saltydog.records to build the world’s first piss filled record, it turns out it’s really hard.”
Due to its rather experimental nature, Private Function haven’t yet revealed what exactly this pee-filled LP (L-pee?) will look like, but we’re thinking its ‘Gold’ nickname gives us a pretty good idea. The band signed off with a final request: “Please don’t use our DNA to commit crimes.”

Plus $4 shipping. If I spent $12K on a record, I'd expect more than media mail.my same thought when I saw that

I cannot believe I am typing this but I need a favor and I’m calling on my loyal JuliaNATION to help me out. I’m laid up with a busted ass foot. If anyone is out for RSD and come across the Macho Man Randy Savage RSD release, I will buy it from you and pay shipping plus whatever reasonable sweetener you want. It’s a gift for a person who did something nice for me and **this** is the thing they care about.
PM me for confirmation I’m serious if you think I’m joking.
What is an ass foot?Dude, I assure you I’ve spent three years with feet doctors trying to get a better diagnosis than “bum ass foot” but that’s all I’ve got for you.
Pretty boring RSD list in my opinion
David J is a bit tempting if price comes down to $25

Former boardie Craig Dye is interviewed in the story!I regret to inform you that he has died.
You are the grim reaper!The rehab just didn’t take. :(
I saw him at a record store a couple of weeks ago. He is doing fine.
Keeps growing and growing
vinyl album sales
up 21.7% (23.6 million vs. 19.4 million at midyear 2022)
btw it's hilarious that the cost of vinyl keeps climbing but the cost of a lowly CD is stagnantit's a very labor-intensive process and people like Adele, metalica and taylor are consuming all the bandwidth
CDs have increased a little bit. I'm finding that most new releases from big labels cost a dollar or two more than in recent years.
you mean binenflationCDs have increased a little bit. I'm finding that most new releases from big labels cost a dollar or two more than in recent years.
sound suspiciously like normal inflation.

Will they be 45rpm? The Red album is barely over an hour as it is, so 10 minutes per side.

I will guess $79.99.
Pretty sure it’s the recent LP reissue just in 7 inch box form!! So, yes…so if you didn't like the inconvenience of taking your delicate vinyl out of the jacket and only listening to 25 mins of music per side before flipping
Nice storage unit! I bet his collection is better than yours.

Went in for preorder of McCartney and Wings - One Hand Clapping on vinyl. More than I wanted to pay, but oh well.I mean can you really put a price on answering one of the oldest questions in human history?

Huh. That's not what I thought it meant.
The way it was explained to me is that side 2 has 2 independent grooves, so depending on which you play, you get a different set of tunes. I.e., side B has 2 different track lists.
If I had any vinyl, I'd double down with this setup!I truly can't decide if that's cool or lame.

I am actually giving up about 10,000 records..trading them in or donating …

at a certain point, an album collector will amass more music than he/she has time left on this earth, i.e. if they spent the rest of their lives listening to their collection they wouldn't have enough time to listen to it all. hutch: have you reached that point, and if so when did you pass that tipping point? any others willing to fess up to the same?

Swore I posted it on here years ago but can't find my post on the four levels of record collecting:
1. The Backgrounder: small collection of compilations, greatest hits, multi-platinum hits, and Xmas records. Tends to play them at low to moderate volume.
2. The Fan: medium to large collection featuring a variety of artists. Multiple releases of a few favorite acts. Plays at all volumes; cranks up favorites.
3. The Curator: large to very large collection featuring a wide variety of genres and eras. Has complete runs of favorite acts. Collection is well-maintained. Plays at medium to loud volumes.
4. The Hoarder: very large to enormous collection that may be unwieldy. Very wide variety of genres and eras with obvious concentrations. Very completest with many acts; owns many later editions of many titles (may also own doubles). Most of collection is well-maintained but there may be some disorganization. Constantly playing music.
So this is interesting...

WHY ARE PVC RECORDS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND HOW ARE NAKED'S ECO-VINYL RECORDS DIFFERENT?
The shocking truth is that over 99% of new vinyl records contain highly toxic chemicals (including lead and chloride) which poison the earth. These records cannot be recycled and take an estimated 1000 years to decompose*.
* This statistic is from Kyle Devine - Head of Research and Associate Professor in the Department of Musicology at the University of Oslo
Addicted To Plastic? Eco-Vinyl And The Impact Of Our Listening Habits
NAKED does not use traditional vinyl pressing plants. All NAKED records are non-toxic and recyclable
.... make records from PET (the most recyclable non-toxic plastic in the World), it also makes records with exceptional sound quality.
