2 RSD Records and More Vinyl Finds #vinylcommunity

Talking about my latest vinyl pickups including RSD Black Fiday albums from Big Brother & The Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin and a T Rex picture disc. Also the Talking Heads 77 reissue, punk rock from Agent Orange, and an Alice Cooper original.

I picked up that Janis & Big Brother album on RSD as an afterthought. Wasn’t originally on my list but as I was flipping thru I saw it and snagged it. Glad I did! Price was decent on it as well. The one live album I bought on that day that’s not being talked about a lot on social is The Blasters Live in London. Incredible on vinyl and the full concert is amazing!

Man I went back and forth about the Big Brother RSD and passed, but you just convinced me to find a copy and I did, sealed, so I pulled the trigger. Also found the Jazz Dispensary RSD The Golden Hour so filled in two holes in my collection. Thanks for the video, love them all.

I bought around ten RSD albums this go around. That Big Brother was the heavy hitter. I was blown away by how good that performance sounded and just how great the band sounded. Pick this up. You will not be disappointed!!!

Thank you. I will look for that Joplin & Co. the in shop I had passed on it. Would enjoy it greatly.

Thanks for the Big Brother tip, I'm excited to hear All Is Loneliness in an extended version. Another great video, cheers! 🙏

Hey Robert. Great video. That Talking Heads is fantastic, snagged a copy myself. I like that Agent Orange LP. Cheers

How much great stuff is just sitting in the vaults while they keep re-releasing creed records, pretty much sums it up for me!

Awesome video have a great weekend Robert and also happy holiday season from Canada ❤😊🇺🇸🇨🇦🌲🎄❤😊🤢 also I have a stomach flu

Gotta agree with you regarding the Janis J. & BHCo. album, which I was also hesitant on. That T Rex Tank is a bit different than his other more common lps. I found it a couple yrs ago used but was kinda pricy. My copy is very good shape, OG with all original seeves etc so I paid the price. Also I have never come across it before or after.

Nice mighty Mac sweater! I agree that the Big Brother is an amazing recording and surprised many have not mentioned how good they sound.

Nice pick ups in music, I don't own an album picture disc. My wall space is dedicated to future art so a picture disc is not in the cards. Still buying CDs and Albums and occasional 8 tracks for my player. I plan on getting what you got on CD, I do buy albums and CDs of the same title.

Thanks!! I picked up the Big Brother. Haven't listened to it yet. Thanks for the affirmation!!

Hi Robert - I used to live in Northern Michigan close to The Mackinac Bridge & Island. Love the Talking Heads & Agent Orange 🍊. Bloodstains a classic OC punk track.

[JWD]

Ironically, I was listening to Agent Orange this past week and thinking of you singing the chorus in your other video!

[richardsteele]

My Grandfather drove the cement truck over the grating to pour cement on the Mackinac Bridge. I still got to get my shirt of the bridge. but my Grandma lives not too far from Mackinac so I can get one in the next spring or summer.

I saw Agent Orange with The Queers on a boat

Another example of picture discs is that a picture disc is like if you enjoyed the movie nightmare on elm street and have a VHS tape on your wall with Freddy Krueger printed on it, in certain ways it’s cooler than a poster because the art is printed on the very thing that it comes from/is associated with and it actually has the movie in it and could be used. The fact the music is on it is simply so that it technically can be used, but it’s not trying to replace a mobile fidelity pressing of it, it’s not about how good it sounds when used, it’s special because the art you love is on the art it comes from, the art is exhibited on the art form. Essentially a picture disc is a poster to be looked at. And audiophiles are not only saying that those posters don’t sound good but that no one should own one and anyone who does should only show it off with eye rolling sighing and scoffing due the nature of the motivation being guilty pleasure. Getting mad at a picture disc is like getting mad at someone who has keychain TV with Night at the Roxbury on it because it’s 240p instead of 4k when the only reason the person got it was because they like the movie, not for it to be the way they watch the movie.

The 4 disc version of Talking Heads 77 is in very large packaging with deluxe holders in the book. This means the set is very expensive for just 4 discs and the book.
I have the compilation on the three LP set crammed in a wide single sleeve. One of the last LPs I purchased before switching to CDs for a while.
