@setandsetting I could definately use some recomendations on affordable cleaning options

[setandsetting]

@GraemeE I mean, it really depends on your definition of affordable. I think my VPI 16.5 was $550 back in like 2006 when I bought it. That think is built to last so I don't see myself ever buying something else. I'm sure they cost significantly more these days. But this Humminguru ultrasonic thing seems fairly well regarded from what I've heard: https://humminguru.com/

[GraemeE]

@setandsetting thanks I'll take a look.
I think $500 and under would probably be my sweet spot.

My brain knows it's a necessary and worthwhile investment I just always end up spending my money on the records themselves

[Mizmazzle]

@setandsetting I’d love to get an ultrasonic. Haven’t made the leap yet. I do have my cleaning regimen. I’ve had great results with it.

Oh and not to mention spending a small mortgage on buying original tour posters ahaha

[waXology]

Some more recent ones I've been buying back

I'll stop now

[setandsetting]

@waXology here’s my 2nd press Bleach and my Blew EP. Bought before these things skyrocketed.

[J-IV]

I got a Hummingguru. Ordered it as a Kickstarter project. Unbeatable compared to how much other ultrasonic RCM cost. Its cool but I tend to combo it with the Groove Washer on dirtier records.

[Mizmazzle]

@setandsetting oh sick!!! One of my dream records is the white fist press of Bleach. Probably not gonna happen haha.

[Mizmazzle]

@waXology well that’s pretty rad!!!

[Mizmazzle]

@waXology damn dude. I dig this big time. Nirvana was and will always be one of the most influential bands in my existence.

[waXology]

@setandsetting ahhh I miss the Blew 12" Hold onto all those!

I grew up in Aus listening to them so hence my love of collecting the Aus Bleach versions and also anything Aus related.

I had their very first single, Love Buzz, number 88/1000 which had come from the bands original manager. Can't afford one now though

[goosehd]

Ah, the golden days of Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees…

Yeah, that would be my ideal but when I bought this I was aiming just for a copy from the original stampers, pre-CD reissue. The 3rd pressing done in various colors would have fit the bill too, this one just came into my lap.

[Mizmazzle]

@setandsetting no man. What you have is badass. I just have a somewhat recent reissue of Bleach. I’d love to hear an early pressing.

[Mizmazzle]

@waXology oh man. That one stings for sure. I had a really early bootleg of that Lovebuzz single. Even that when I sold it went for a few hundred dollars. Wish I held onto that one myself.

[GraemeE]

By all of my own logic I shouldn't like this album but i still do
The title track is undeniable

[setandsetting]

@GraemeE I tend to skip studio stuff after Blues For Allah instead going to live recordings for my fix of those songs. But you can't deny the songs on Shakedown are classics.

My current Dead listening is largely the In and Out of the Garden box from last year. I don't think I every realized that '81-'83 they were pretty great.

And also I just threw a vintage Dead pin on my IH jean vest.

Bandcamp has a profile of the label Black Editions who have been reissuing a bunch of Japanese noise-rock from the 80s/90s originally on the P.S.F. label--Tokyo Flashback comp, White Heaven, High Rise, etc.
