Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

@steelydan love that court of the krimson king

What's the current market like in Tokyo for records?

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , for the krimson king , i paid 5200 yen, only reason i got it is because its a A grade uk polydor . Until i find a uk pink island. For stone crazy i paid 1320 yen and for damn right i got the blues i paid 3300 yen . So i could say the price is very reasonable for some good condition records.

[GraemeE]

@steelydan those are surprisingly reasonable

Yet another reason I'd love to be able to visit japan someday

[popvulture]

I was just listening to Steven Wilson's memoir and he was talking about how Tokyo's his favorite place to shop for records. Said everything's in pristine condition and there's a lot of rare stuff that was big in Japan and scarcely released elsewhere. I think he said at one place he ended up buying over 200 records, haha...

@Aetas as much as I enjoy Steven Wilson‘s stuff, I couldn’t get into that album. The new album on the other hand is a return to form in my opinion

[Aetas]

@Tago-Mago
As I’ve seen him live with ‚To the bone‘ and several times with Porcupine Tree, this new to me still shrink-wrapped LP was more an impulse buy for a bargain. Now I am curious ‍️.

Went on a record hunt today on my trip to New Orleans. Saw James Singleton last night at the Maple Leaf and was lucky enough to find one of his albums today. Course, TJW is a must when down near the swamps!! And a rare early pressing of this absolute Kyuss classic to satiate the collector in me!!

[Aetas]

This ‘Kyuss-Welcome To Sky Valley’ is one of my all time favorites. Great haul. Love it @Mizmazzle !

[Mizmazzle]

@Aetas yeah dude!! Can’t wait to get this home to my stereo and crank it!!!

[Tago Mago]

@Aetas it took the the live recording from the Royal Albert Hall for me to get into his "To The Bone" material, so maybe the same will happen with "The Future Bites". Song of Unborn is one of my favourite Steven Wilson songs, especially this rendition:

[GraemeE]

@Mizmazzle rare pressing is a way better way to remember your trip by than a gift shop mug etc.....

[Mizmazzle]

@GraemeE couldn’t agree more!!

[GraemeE]

Picked up these 2 today
Both got heavy play in my house when they first came out

[GraemeE]

New in this week

[Aetas]

Some new 12inch and I leave the music here…
Two years after matchlessly “Prince” published ’Kiss’, The Art of Noise and Tom Jones covered it.

[Mizmazzle]

Morgan and I love Christmas. Getting new Christmas records is one of our favorite traditions. Going to get our tree in a bit and play our new holiday albums!!

@Mizmazzle SX-950

[Mizmazzle]

@TinMan that’s a beautiful receiver!! I have an SX-850. My dream receiver is the SX-1250. How does the 950 sound? I sometimes wish my 850 had more power. But I have it down in a small listening room in my basement so it works well for that space.
