Completely missed Record Store Day yesterday, as is usual for me. There typically aren’t any real essential releases during those for me. However, I found out Pale Saints - Slow Buildings was there this time around, so I felt a bit bad about missing it. Luckily I happened to be close-by a record store today and they had ONE last copy left in stock. How lucky!
I typically never bother with new pressings because of their dubious quality and frankly outrageous pricing. Not very wowed by those fancy colorings either, as I’m generally listening to vinyl rather than looking at it. However, I’m quite happy about this one all things considered. I guess I like myself some Pale Saints, so I’ll see it as a rare treat.
I used to collect records when they were 25 cents at the thrift store and 5 dollars at the used record store but the price of almost anything I want is so ludicrous that I barely buy them anymore.
Oh, didn’t know we had a thread for these! I started collecting on a whim maybe 12 years ago before I even had a working record player. I don’t collect with as much dedication as I used to, but I still try to pick up most albums I like on vinyl (and CD, which I prefer for digital copies in case of things like hard drive failures)
This is my collection as it stands, after rearranging it to make room for new additions earlier this year
