Savage ProgressTorch SongOne O'Clock GangSunset GunKantataThe Precious Few
Who the bogging hell were these losers? Maybe an ex band member will find the thread and let us know

Discogs have about five different "Precious Few"
― Mark G, Wednesday, 28 October 2015 10:13 (eight years ago) link
Torch Song was William Orbit actually, Discogs research tells me. The rest of them were typical mid-80s tax-loss major label fodder, with the exception of Kantata who were highlife.
There must be some shady scam to be done wherein this crap becomes £££-worthy, can't quite think of one right now though

I had a one o'clock gang album - scottish band, think one of them was briefly in simple minds, wasn't very good tbh

Savage Progress were fucking great. Big influence on Larry Heard apparently.

It seems like an attempt to negotiate some of the intimacy of a physical object into this non-physical media world. I'd still rather burn someone a CD, though.

was able to buy a syl johnson reissue for $5 on sale at UO today. might as well get my piece of this scam.

of course the same reissue can be had for a bit over $10 shipped new from discogs, but the sticker was $19!
― the grimes of claire boucher ('90s on) (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 23 November 2015 03:40 (eight years ago) link
Any Syl Johnson —reissue or no— is worth $5 at least.
― Austin, Monday, 23 November 2015 03:43 (eight years ago) link
I'm glad you agree! I tend to feel slightly scammed while I'm in there among the Hunger Games OST picture discs, even if I'm quite sure that I got a good deal.

Ok I just browsed through the latest massive Music Unlimited I have decided that the people buying audiophile dollar bin reissues need to pay more income tax or be forced to do community service or something. I retract my earlier half-assed defenses of rich music consumers.

― lute bro (brimstead), Sunday, 27 December 2015 02:32 (eight years ago) link
haha yeah i've seen those cropping up more and more. hard to really imagine who's buying them. the one thing i'll say is that at least a lot of them are albums i don't actually see around a ton, maybe because nobody wants them. nobody needs them anyway but at least it's not something where literally the same store has two totally listenable copies of the damn thing for $5 or less, and five more copies in the back.

they would have you pay $$$ for 200g pressings of comedy stereo demonstration records from the 50s.

Dead-quiet 180g 2xLP, cut from analog tape and painstakingly audiophile-remastered with the participation of original 'Gangster' and oboe-repairman David Stearlett. No collection is complete without this seminal 1958 release which virtually defined the Miller sound and has been namechecked by countless contemporary recording artists. A steal at $28.99!
― Doctor Casino, important war pigeon (Doctor Casino), Sunday, 27 December 2015 18:43 (eight years ago) link
$29 would be a steal in audiophile land. Slap $60 on it!

Might be the wrong be the wrong place to ask this, but what's folks experience with British Public Domain reissue vinyl? Half-Price Books has a bunch of new editions of '50s/early '60s roots stuff (Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Jerry Lee Lewis etc.), usually original LPs with a couple bonus tracks given the 180G treatment for around $12-15 a disc (or during their current sale, $10). Was curious because, like with the PD CDs, this sounds like a good way to build up a collection for not a lot of $$$$.
― "Damn the Taquitos" (C. Grisso/McCain), Monday, 28 December 2015 21:06 (eight years ago) link
British Public Domain?
Never heard of it.
― Mark G, Monday, 28 December 2015 23:25 (eight years ago) link
Music that's public domain in the UK, which makes for cheap export CDs and now LPs from labels like Proper, One Day Music etc.
I rolled the dice on a copy of Hooker's Burnin' on the Waxtime label. Two bonus tracks and a download code...will report back.

^^Sooo...audio quality pretty good...packaging less so (separated about a half an inch of the back cover from the front when opening the shrink warp with my thumb).
Verdict: Could have been better, but not at this pricepoint.
