I‘m at 151 and waiting on 7 in the next 2 weeks, but that’s an improvement on 2022‘s so considering that a personal win nn

Oh she got (or at least had) money

That's 3 a week babes... Where'd you get your money from x

I'm down to 55 (70 in 2022) and have spent £400 less this year!

Wait, was I meant to have a spreadsheet?

I think I need to replace my stylus, it's been skating over records a couple of times now. (My manual tells me this stylus should last 400 hours, oop.)

Use Discogs hunni

Wait. 91. I blame VMP.

 

[That Blonde Lad]

I thought I hadn’t bought much vinyl this year, but I’ve just counted on Discogs and my total is 85!! Mainly 12 inches but still :-/

 

[aboutyounow]

I’m at 84 for the year. However, all but maybe 6 records were classic records that I know I will spin regularly versus impulse buys.

 

[Thorium]

I've added 72 records, which will be 73 once my VMP Fanmail arrives.

I have the Kate Bush colour pressings on preorder (clown honk) but they're unlikely to arrive this year, otherwise it would be 83.

 

[invertedbutterfly]

I've picked up 61 so far this year. May try and cut down a little bit next year, but honestly that doesn't seem all that excessive.

 

[lisaj]

I spoke to my brother this morning and he said he'd acquired 500 'lately' so probably more for this entire year. We are all amateurs in comparison.

 

[Voicething]

I’m at about 50 for this year including new releases and second hand purchases. I’m a lot more restrained than I used to be!

Growth.

 

[AshtrayHeart]

The second kallax shelf I bought earlier this year is already full so I do actually need to cut back on my purchases.

 

[RJF]

Y'all are wild. I think I maybe bought about... twenty to thirty records at a push? It's become a lot less alluring for me this year. Exhausting lead times, stupid prices, storage. I've been extremely selective this year and am largely happy with everything I got and not wanting for anything.

Has anyone got their copy of the Red/White pressing of Nelly Furtado’s Loose yet?

Mine came today so I immediately put it on while I was cleaning and Promiscuous came on and I had to pause. This is not the original mix we got from its initial release. There are added drums and another element that I cannot simply pinpoint. I even pulled out my 2-CD set that I got on release week from Target back in the day to compare and it sounds different.

Anyone else notice this?

I saw this being mentioned on Discogs as well. I think the black re-press 'suffers' from the same issue as well. I suppose the original black pressing will also have this alternate mix if they used the original vinyl masters for this re-release?

 

[Wallow]

I only bought around 20 this year. I’ve been trying to transition from a Stan collection focused only on a handful of artists to one that actually represents me, so I’ve more been choosing albums I actually enjoy over variants and obscure 7”s. I feel a lot less guilty about what I’ve bought this way.

It’s on the black vinyl too. Just checked. It’s a completely different vocal take. Maybe it’s the demo?

Can your player convert record plays to MP3? I used Audacity with my player when my copy of Kelela's Take Me Apart included a different mix of "LMK".

Mine does not but my friends does. I’ll have to take mine over there and rip it.

A lot of overflow went into my new Kallax, even though I’ve bought loads this year I still feel I’ve been quite selective with my purchases, it just so happens lots of albums I love have been getting reissued or finally debuting on vinyl.
Like, I’ll only buy one vinyl variant of an album and maybe the CD. I’ve not even bought Extension and I consider myself a big Kylie fan, although if it comes down to £9 like Disco extended did then I’ll bite.
