first, you should purchase an assorted pack of commas, periods, and semi-colons. then use them liberally.

hrm, please tell me more

1/23/2011 8:26:31 PM

^^ this is chit chat. thus, i give no fucks.


^ what do you wnat to know

1/23/2011 8:27:57 PM

I just got the new Length Of Time 7" set. Limited to 100. 1 Black vinyl, 1 yellow vinyl, and 1 yellow brown haze vinyl. Shits hot.

hahahahahahahahah EMCE

the only thing i could find about clear vinyl was someone who said the carbon black used for standard vinyl records somehow negatively affects playback from the cartridge, but i don't know how true that is or if it even matters.

1/23/2011 8:32:33 PM

clear vinyl is too mainstream for vinylbandit

^ i don't care about that as it has nothing to do with my question

1/23/2011 9:04:41 PM

what?

1/23/2011 9:15:22 PM

clear vinyl is less stable and more prone to warpage than standard black, which shouldn't matter if you take care of your stuff

also clear discs are not compatible with a specific strain of automatic turntable from the '70s that used a light sensor to tell if the platter was loaded, should you happen to have one

otherwise, shit is cool

how limited is the clear?

1/23/2011 9:28:15 PM

What album is it? Is it limited print?

Do whatever the fuck makes you happy. I have a bunch of records on clear/colored vinyl and there is no difference in sound.

Whatever you do, just please stop making shitty threads like this.

to be honest, i have no idea. i haven't been into vinyl for all that long. i was just at a record store here in washington dc, and they had a clear vinyl copy of exile on main street by the rolling stones, which is one of my favorite albums. there was a sticker on it that said it was a pretty rare limited edition thing. i just didn't know if it was worth spending $40 bucks on it, and i imagine if it was THAT big of a deal it'd probably cost more than that. plus, it was re-released last year, so the more i think about it, the more i figure it probably isn't much to get excited about. but like i said, i'm not really all that knowledgeable about this shit at the moment.

this thread is about me and my dilemma, not your stupid thing you keep posting

1/23/2011 10:11:54 PM

i only listen to music recorded on wax canisters.

1/23/2011 11:11:38 PM

I picked up several Rolling Stones vinyls at a yard sale last weekend.
No Exile on Main Street, but I did get the "Sticky Fingers" LP with the zipper on the cover.

1/24/2011 9:45:42 AM

how much did you pay for sticky fingers?

1/24/2011 9:50:56 AM

i've got an old joan of arc album, old twelve hour turn/i hate myself split, and old jejune albums on clear vinyl. never had any problems with them or any other colored vinyl

idk why im mentioning this

but i dont see why it would prevent you from buying something you want

I'm just trying to figure out if there's any other value in paying an extra 15 bucks for it other than saying "hey look at this cool clear vinyl copy i have"

that's the only added value. clear vinyl sounds fine

picture discs on the other hand sometimes sound like shit

1/24/2011 11:36:07 AM

Probably won't bother in that case. I could use the extra cash towards some other things i have my eye on that are out of print

Can't really find it anywhere on the internet. Maybe i should just get it to have a cool thing to look at
