Saw The Strapping Fieldhands play at Cake Shop a year ago or something and I think me and my girlfriend were the only ones who showed up that weren't opening for them. Or at least it was practically that way.

"Hi I got the lp and the record itself have alot of spots on it, on both sides. Im gonna have it cleaned and see if they come out. "
i wonder abt stuff like this. people not using precise words so that i have NO IDEA what this guy means by 'spots.' iirc the record was NM. i think maybe he means dust particles??

have you thought about trying to post it to a GBV fan forum or something? like is this thing still active? http://www.gbv.com/postal.html

STUNNING MASTER TAPE SOUND ON SIDE ONE! And side two, at A+ to A++, is excellent in its own right. This is an incredible recording, a member of our Top 100, but it takes a copy like this to make it come to life.
I confess to not ever having taken this album seriously, dismissing it as a commercial collection of pop hits with as much depth as the L.A. river, but I was wrong wrong WRONG. This is a great album on the right LP, not the compressed piece of grainy cardboard pop we're used to. The typical pressing barely hints at the tremendous energy and top-quality musicianship that characterizes practically every track on this wonderful record.

Until now. Because “The Forever Family”, a rock band with two reality TV shows starring Shirley Jones in development from Las Vegas Nevada, needs to raise $1,000,000 to purchase a very special very destroyed and very infamous house to renovate and shoot another pilot, they are offering their greatest and most prized possession up for auction: Their priceless set of Screen Gem Records.

These records have not been cleaned. They are being sold as is. We are new to the record business. We are the largest seller of Vintage Lunchboxes in the World.

i watched Thurston Moore pick off a thumbnail at a show yesterday and saw where it landed. All I could think of was how I could probably get like $60 for it on eBay if I was a total fucking scumbag

you might also be asked to prove that it came from a famous indie rocker as opposed to, you know, yourself?

― The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 20 June 2012 23:15 (twelve years ago) link
it's up to $200 now with 34 watchers. ends Tuesday night. fingers crossed.
even if it stayed at this price it's already by far the most expensive record I've sold on ebay. think I unloaded some of those Bob Pollard side project Fading Captain records for around $80 a couple years ago. I don't really sell that much. Really lucked into this one as I like the record but am totally fine w/ just having a digital copy and found out what it's worth at a great time (I didn't realize until after I put up the auction that they just put up a 45-minute documentary (!) about Lonesome Crowded West on Pitchfork on Monday ... I bet that sent some people to ebay I would think).
now I'm just hoping whoever wins isn't a flake.
