I buy and sell on Ebay & FB. I have to travel 2-4 hours in any direction to get to a good record shop so I only get out about once a month to real stores.

I am in the process of selling a house and all of the money I make is going into my business account so when the time comes I am planning on a week long road trip all over the east and mid west hitting shops....To stock the shelves for the store I plan to open with the left over money

Since we are talking about records and how people associate them with sound quality, I was wondering if you guys indulge in higher resolution audio files...I'm not talking about ripping your CDs to FLAC or ALAC, I am talking about 24-bit remasters. I am aware that files at higher sampling rates is an overkill but whatever...I am drunk. Indulge me.

I prefer losless FLAC because it's what I have done for years with tape trading / live show conversions anyway...So it's easy, familiar and seamless play-ability. That's not to say that I don't listen to Spotify with the same zeal ...Just because I fancy myself an audiophile type doesn't mean that I can't enjoy all formats.

as far as the quality of my audio files, i guess i don't really care. as long as it doesn't sound like it was recorded in a cave (unless that was the intent), i can fuck with it.

Cool. I convert mine to ALAC as I live in the Apple ecosystem. I have acquired a variety of high resolution albums via various sources (HDTracks, The Beatles USB set etc.).

As of typing this, I am streaming Interstellar's soundtrack on Tidal since they have a one-month free trial. Not sure if CD quality streaming is for me.

I've been obsessed with Tom a while now. I just bought a Near Mint 1st Japanese pressing of Rain Dogs yesterday....Cost as much to ship as the album did haha. I'll post my Tom collection (sans Rain Dogs of course) as soon as the mail man gets here!

sucks for you bro. i would hate that too. the 'bigger' record shop has yellowcard playing and shit. they will probably get tons of stuff too, but not hitting it up due to those crowds.

found a really small place that is participating. i don't mind hanging out for 45 minute before. there are a few things i'd like to pick up (deja entendu, get behind me satan, run the jewels), so i have to go.

the shitty thing for me was that i was at the smallest shop in my area up north last year. got there about 4 hours before it opened and was second in line. about 30 minutes later the line was all they way down the block. it's really the only record store around, so it was mobbed. i can only imagine what the places in chicago are like, and i'm not waiting in line overnight for a fucking record. just not happening. kinda sucks cause i'm pretty sure brand new - deja entendu is going to be available. hope some copies hit the internet at retail prices. no way i'm paying e-bay prices for that.

I miss being up in New England and just walking into BullMoose or some of the shops in Burlington, VT and pulling what I wanted and leaving....craziness has surely taken over. And sadly it's mostly flippers who line their pockets and take as much as they can grab. Makes me kind of ill.

yea, there are tons of things i would like to grab, even just for fun, but i am going in with main things i am looking for

buffalo has like 5 shops involved. 2 are Record Theatre's which are the biggest things around, they have big events. Then two smaller 'punk/metal' shops will have pretty large turnouts too.

the 5th place is this really small joint that just opened a few months ago. i am hoping for a decent selection, if not, oh well.

like you, i'm hoping for retail prices if i cannot find anything. i am sure third man will put out the stripes album shortly after, so i am not that worried about that. brand new will probably go quick, so that is what i will probably go after first.

also kind of want the 'mystery release'. i love mysteries.

My Tom Waits Vinyl Collection (so far....)

My Waits collection sans my Japanese copy of Rain Dogs which will be here in about 2 weeks I would assume. All of these are near mint and first US pressings.

I started with Mule Variations. I think it's his most "accessible" album being that it has a little bit of everything...Including his hit "Hold On" that was featured in the Walking Dead.

If you like Jazz/ Beat Poetry I would start from the very beginning with Closing Time and Saturday Nights. Small Change is my favorite "70's Tom" type album.

Hope that helps

third man records is awesome, by the way. it is very small inside, though.

it's hard to plan a trip for a concert happening there, because they always announce them 5 days in advance.

but still, it is awesome. i recorded myself in the booth and everything.

Anyone else go the extra mile and wood glue their records? I have only recently taken up this method as a "last ditch effort" to eliminate surface noise on records that look like they should sound better than they do. So far it works really well but it takes a steady hand and plenty of patience (about 8-10 hours drying time depending on heat and humidity).

i've never done that before. never had a record that i thought needed it, and beyond that, i'd be too afraid i would damage it. i'm sure the day will come when it's the only option left and i'll give it a go.

I am currently cleaning my copy of Waits Swordfishtrombone. It LOOKS Near Mint but plays with a lot of "crackle"...Side 1 is complete and the glue has been pealed. It now plays as it should with only some minimal crackling. Now on to side 2 later today.

even a lot of the present day metal/noise that i listen to is only available on cassette. that's what drove me to get back into it. just felt like a natural step after my vinyl set up was "complete." i've only got a portable walkman at the moment (can't remember the model), but i want to get a cassette deck soon. just haven't put much effort into finding a good one yet.

Just visit any of your local Facebook yard sale/ bulletin board groups and make a post..you will have 3 within an hour....That's what I did and I have a killer Dennon duel tape deck straight out of a big collection.

I heard the entire "Led Zeppelin" album on tape with a bunch of old timers while drinking some fine wine. It was an interesting experience.
