Thinking about picking up that vinyl copy of Bleach I saw the other day. I have it on CD, but you know, that piece of vinyl is calling my name. Whaddya think? is this the way to the poorhouse, buying copies of shit you already own?

gmku 07.28.2006 09:33 AM

Anybody seen/heard the new New York Dolls album?! Saw them on Henry Rollins last week and they were great. Man, it would be so cool to find that on vinyl today during my record store visit.

Are you sure its even out? I just checked Amazon and they don't have it.

gmku 07.28.2006 10:27 AM

I think so. I saw a release date of July 25 on another music site, along with some reviews from people who say they own the CD.

Pookie 07.28.2006 10:35 AM

It's out in the UK, so I'd be very surprised if it wasn't out there.

Not sure. it's sealed and there's no sticky about the vinyl.

k-krack 07.28.2006 11:19 AM

ahh. well, get it anyway. vinyls fun. *edit. unless theres something more interesting you don't yet have..

gmku 07.28.2006 11:25 AM

Yeah, I should get it. I'm not even sure it's that great an album. Haven't played my CD probably since 1989! & yet I consider myself a Nirvana fan. Still, would be cool to have it on vinyl...

Playing Bleach makes me remember what all the fuss was about.

Funny.

Yeah, I'm old enough to have "Nirvana stories." One of my faves: I was seeing these Melvins posters around town, when I lived in Salt Lake City around 1989, advertising a show at a club in town. I knew who the Melvins were, had one of their albums. In smaller type below the Melvins ad was something about the opening act: Nirvana. I went into the record store and asked who Nirvana was. He said, "Aw, one of those grunge bands from Seattle on SubPop. The kids are all going to see the Melvins, though."

gmku 07.28.2006 01:19 PM

So, guess what. Bleach was gone! Imagine my disappointment. But imagine my surprise when I see all these other cool reissues. I ended up buying a MONO reissue of VU & Nico. This makes like the 5th copy of that album I own. And my first ever copy of the Dead Kennedys' Fresh Fruit..., a 180gm reissue with a double-sided poster!

I'm seriously thinking of going back to pick up two more things, a reissue of Blank Generation (on colored vinyl!) and the third VU LP.

sonicl 07.28.2006 01:46 PM

Top of my "keep an eye out" list at the moment is the Dalek/Faust collaboration from a year or so ago.

5th Copy!? Geeze, you must really like it.

Fresh Fruit is my favorite Kennedy's album. I love that echo ridden guitar tone. Does it have the In God We Trust, Inc. EP on it?

gmku 07.28.2006 02:09 PM

yeah, it's one of my top faves. I'm a sucker for different versions of the same album, if it's a favorite. Three copies of the White Album, for instance, because one is white vinyl.

VU & Nico, I have a cheesy German-Polydor LP copy (my first copy, purchased when I was overseas). An early 1990s-era CD. A stereo gatefold reissue. A stereo gatefold reissue on yellow vinyl. And now this, the mono version.

If they come out with a mono on yellow, I'm sure that'll be next.

& no, no EP sides with the Fresh Fruit reissue. Looks like it's just the straight LP. Thinking about hanging the poster in my office, but I have to check it over and see if it passes office "offensive language/images" standards.
