Vinyl LP's & 45's

Largely alternative takes and some different mixes. From memory at least 2 unknown tracks but only instrumental stuff.

The entire thing is on youtube and spotters.

I’m guessing these records are New Wave.

Snared a 1972 French pressing of The Stooges debut in an online auction. Oh yeah.

Finally arrived , about three months after pre-ordering it.

Dutch pressing. I have to wonder though….how is 2025 the 25th anniversary of a 1990 release …..:thinking:

Then you read the article and the title is based on Melbourne having more stores per capita than other major vinyl cities.

I went to a record fair late last year in Collingwood and there were some selling original pressings but they were outnumbered by remastered stuff.

Rankings of this type should always be taken with bucket of salt, but what is the best measure for this, outside of number of records owned per capita (difficult to get a good representative sample)?

Yeah it’s a hard thing to agree a metric on, but I’d go with most stores, biggest range of new and old, regardless of city population. One neighbourhood in Tokyo could take you days, the fact you’re surrounded by millions of people packed into apartment buildings all around you, doesn’t diminish it having more vinyl than you could ever possibly hope to sift through in a visit.

I have.
I don’t like it as much as the others. I feel like they’re getting a little generic, but there are some good tunes and growers on there.

Love it, been hinting at 6 year old Miss ASB who recognises Nirvana songs and “Likes to sing along” that I don’t have Nevermind on Vinyl or CD, didn’t get it this year :frowning:

That really is a great gift.
