Vinyl

Hi everyone!

I have an audio-technica AT-LP60XUSB, it had been great for me, it played Atom Heart Mother, Random Access Memories, Animals, Joshua Tree, all wihtout issues.

Until a few days ago when I got Daft Punk's Homework!

In a few track, it skips, it simply can't play it.

I read elsewhere about people who replaced the current conical stylus with an ogival stylus, and that fixed the skipping issues.

Now I ask, which ogival styluses would be compible? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Basically the title. More specifically, I would love to own the Home Alone double LP they released however many years ago, but don't want to spend $100+ that I'm seeing on eBay.

To continue my finds from the flea market from this weekend, I was able to grab some more very good records from the same bin that I found the Captain Beefheart records from my post from yesterday. Again, this person had some eccentric taste, so I was able to pull out some real gems from the batch.

The craziest find from these other records has to be the Fripp and Eno No Pussyfooting record, as I've never see this record anywhere in my time collecting, and wouldn't expect to in the US. The other records that I got were good as well, as I got the first Roxy Music album and David Bowie's Scary Monsters. All and all, these records were also $5 apiece to get, which I was more than happy to get these records for.

For today, I will be showing something truly special. It's not only of musical value, or even monetary value, its of truly historically valuable on its impact on indie music. I am the very happy owner of an original 1980 copy of Orange Juice's Falling and Laughing. This is the record that truly kicked off the indie-pop sound that we've come to know from the mid to late 80s, to the 90s, and even the 2000s.

This record came in a run of only 934 copies, and went on to launch Postcard Records as a label to influence bands like Franz Ferdinand, The Wedding Present, Belle and Sebastian, King Krule, The Cribs, The Smiths (though only slightly), the C86 scene of the mid 80s, the twee pop of labels like Sarah (Field Mice, Another Sunny Day, The Orchids, Brighter, Heavenly, etc) and K (Beat Happening), and many more. It is a marvel to now be an owner of a copy of this record. Not only that, this is also one of only 200 copies out of the 934 copy run that has the extra postcard included with it (This one being a pair of pliers). This also includes the extra flexi disc that was sometimes included with this record.

This is a valuable piece of music history that ought to be preserved in archives and I feel Orange Juice deserves some mention in music history for the impact this record and the Postcard singles that followed had on modern music.

What records are your go-to’s for (rainy/sunny) Sunday mornings?

Thought that this was interesting

Found it lying by the side of the road earlier this week. Needed a new belt and some lubricant on the cue mechanism but I think once the belt comes in it should run like new!
