I don't think I own any MFSL's but that's just because I tend to go for like "vinyl era" pressings rather than modern stuff if I can. Usually even if I have go to discogs for it, the older copies come in a bit less expensive than the audiophile reissues. Digital or analog if it sounds good it sounds good.
-
@setandsetting I agree! My goal is always a NM first pressing. But sometimes, if a reissue has a stellar rep for being otherworldly good, I’ll go for it.
-
@Mizmazzle Do you have a record cleaning machine? I've rescued cheap destroyed-looking records from the brink. It's an investment but I've had mine for over 15 years and it's more than paid for itself.

Lunchtime listening.

@setandsetting I could definately use some recomendations on affordable cleaning options
-
@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/
-
@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
-
@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.
-
@waXology here’s my 2nd press Bleach and my Blew EP. Bought before these things skyrocketed.
-
@setandsetting oh sick!!! One of my dream records is the white fist press of Bleach. Probably not gonna happen haha.
-
@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

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.
