I'm tempted by that David Bowie box but I'm trying to keep my dollars saved for Mondo's The Last of Us release.

But speaking of not saving dollars (and on a completely different topic), the next instant ticketing series has to go up today or tomorrow, right? I wasn't planning on going to any shows this year but Bela Fleck sitting in at the Denver shows has changed my mind.

amen! Great news it's not a SDCC release!

Got ahold of the Final Fantasy VII double picture disc soundtrack.

They only released it to Europe so a friend of mine in the UK ordered it and shipped it over to me.

Pretty exciting, one of my favorite soundtracks of all time (movies or games)

I picked up a copy of the new Of Monsters and Men album, clear heavy vinyl. Sounds great...it doesn't appear to come with a download code though which is a real bummer. I thought just about every new lp did.

Every now and then I'll get an LP without a download code but it's very rare

A lot of times you can email customer service for the record label and they'll send you a download code/link for free

I was thinking that I'd try that. Thanks for the advice...can't hurt

What are the odds that the grateful dead shows get pressed? 100%?

Both are terrible. Do not buy. Have heard nothing but terrible things about thing. Apparently the new master job is awful.

Yeah I thought I heard Doby mention that before but wasn't sure it was this release, thanks for the confirmation.

[AlexK79]

I can vouch for the awfulness of the RATM XX. Sounds TERRIBLE. Seek out the Music on Vinyl pressing of that one.

[dobyblue]

You can still get the MOVLP043 of Rage Against the Machine for under $40 on Amazon, if you love this album and want the best sounding version without paying for the original US pressing then snag one, they continue to go up in price and less and less stock available:

Finally got my vinyl copy of Morten Harket-Brother in from the Netherlands. What a beautiful pressing. Worth every penny and the wait. A prime example of mastered for vinyl, makes the CD sound silly.

[dobyblue]

Nice, I just picked up the new 180g releases of Hunting High and Low and Scoundrel Days, haven't cranked Scoundrel yet but HHAL sounds bloody fantastic, comparing to both an original CD and vinyl pressing. I need to check out Brother, heard nothing but great things.

[chadizzy1]

Gonna spend a day in Chicago after Alpine - what are some good used vinyl shops for crate digging?

[chadizzy1]

Wow.

Reckless Records is by far my favorite place in Chicago. They actually have 3 locations - the one on Broadway is the one I frequent. Hell, you could make a whole day out of just going to all 3 of their stores and digging. I never walk out of Reckless without a bag full of used vinyl.

If you go to Reckless on Broadway, you may as well hit up Dave's Records as well. It's right down the street.

That's a very cool neighborhood in general, lots of cool shops, restaurants, and bars. Miss living down there.

Get the vinyl at all cost. It's that good.

TLOU drops in two weeks. It's going to cost $75. About $10-15 cheaper than I thought!

[AJF_41]

Made that mistake too. It's awful. The redux version sounds slightly better on vinyl but it still sounds like crap. Hopefully they get it right before they put out anymore album reissues. They've done great with their "bootleg" series vinyl.

"I will now sell 5 copies of The Three EPs by The Beta Band."

Looking forward to that release and finally spinning "Dry the Rain."

[ncrstlr1]

I got the Bob Marley - Legend 30th Anniversary release today and I highly recommend. The album sounds fantastic. I also bought the Mumford and Sons Road to Red Rocks from an Amazon Warehouse Deal, unfortunately the LP was not in the package so I had to return it.

[Lew Zealand]

Man, it only takes five minutes in any other thread around here to realize this one is the best. Bitching about Let You Down being played tonight? Get the hell out of here.

Anyway, gonna hit up the local store tomorrow, I think. I hope they got some new, good used stuff in!
