What was your latest LP find??

Women and shoes...men and vinyl. Ahh, I get it now. I really don't need another copy of my fav' album, but I still have to look.

I really enjoy flipping through the piles of records above and below, and when the blood circulation is cut off and I can't feel my legs, then it's time to move to the next tier or tandem.

My latest find was a SEALED MFSL-Japanese super vinyl pressing of David Bowie - The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & Spiders from Mars. Sticker price read $15.00 I have 2 copies already, a vinyl copy and a cd copy. Well..."I've got to have it, it's cheap!"

So the next time the little lady wants to buy shoes, make certain there's a record shop close by.

Hey Doc! Good to see ya here!
My latest LP showed up by mail yesterday.
A Megaforce copy of Metallica "Ride The Lightning"
This was rated VG++ VG++ in the auction from a seller with outstanding feedback.
Its unlistenable! Several deep scratches,hundreds of fine scratches.Talk about surface noise!!
Plus the cover is beat to CRAP (like that slappy?)
Thank you eBay!!

Ron-This is an LP I only "kind of wanted".
A mint minus copy of this title usually fetches more than I am/was willing to spend.
In my opinion, VG++ should at least offer a mostly quiet surface with a decent looking cover(and lower cost)
No biggie.Its eBay,ya never know what to expect.

Tim- Sorry to hear of your bad experience.
Go through the dispute process.I'll be rooting for you!
I only lost $10.00 I knew the LP wasnt in near mint shape but as I wrote before I didnt want to spend much for this particular LP.
Still,a VG++ rating should show vinyl with only a couple light scrathes,maybe some light sleeve paper rubbing.It should have high luster and the label and spindle hole should look new.

The cover should only show maybe a light corner crease or very light rubbing at the corners or sides.
Of course these are just a couple examples of what makes up a VG++ rating.
A mint minus should look new with no imperfections.
Every LP seller and buyer should get a copy of the Goldmine LP rating guide.
Keep us posted Tim,you spent lots of money and should get what you paid for.Good luck!

The only vinyl DCC I ever had a problem with was'the best of the eagles' I felt it was so warm and laid back sounding there was a moderate roll off of HF and lack of detail.
Anyone agree?
