So I accidentally left my record player on all of Labor Day weekend and the needle has eroded the end of my vinyl :((( Is this fine? Or can I do anything to help with the damage? Or should I just get a new vinyl and needle ? Plz help •᷄⌓•᷅

Can’t even find a copy of this on Discogs.

Bought ultraSOUND (deluxe) by The Neighbourhood at Sunrise Records today and it's warped. I know it's not major but my OCD hates it and i'm worried it could get worse? To my notice, it doesn't really mess with the sound, but it's annoying to look at and I spent $70 on this album. Could it at some point start messing with the sound?? Should I get an exchange? Is it worth it, or does it really matter?

(INCLUDED SONG - Hula Girl - The Neighbourhood (Last chorus, approx 3:30 in the song) For anyone who wants to listen and compare audios)

Need some opinions. I feel like maybe it isn't major and i'm overreacting but I also feel like I should get a few more opinions. 😅 I spent too much on this record (IMO) for it to be even slightly messed up.

Grabbed these for $2 each. I wish I'd gotten there sooner! Most in very good shape (the classic rock a bit rougher but play better than I expected). Probably should have bitten the bullet and bought all they had (left some rough-ish shape classic rock mostly). I doubt I'll ever score like this again.

I hadn't gone record shopping in a long while, and got the bug after this and visited my local. Holy crap! Since when did records (crappy quality used ones at that) cost as much as an art book? I see now why the craze among young kids is winding down and they are turning to CD's.

(apologies for the sideways photo but Reddit was being a pain)

On vinyl, is this a good purchase? 15€ and found on a street market

So basically I ordered about $70.00 worth of stuff from this guy on Discogs (a Bing Crosby box set and some Elvis singles and eps), and I ordered it on Thursday and I still haven’t heard anything from the seller. It says the payment was received but it hasn’t shipped yet. I sent him a message but he hasn’t responded yet. I think it may be because of the Labor Day weekend, but should I be worried, And if not when should I start panicking?

Changed my life. :)

I'm with the community radio station KGNU and today we have records (roughly 4000) for five dollars each no matter what it is! CDS for ten! It helps keep the lights on and many people walk away with gems. So make your way down town today before ten and dig up some food for just five bucks.

Beautiful film by Vinyl Ceremony in Pasadena, CA.

is this rare? i got it back in 2023 in a record store for free, i’m guessing it isn’t but i’m still curious

Cut Plate Press Play is a look inside the making of a vinyl record—from a live performance to a finished record on the turntable.
Recording, mastering, cutting, plating, pressing, and finally, listening. A process built around knowledgeable craftspeople, intricate machines, and the simple idea of making music you can hold in your hands.

Box has some signs of ageing - no tears, some creases, some scuffs. The discs are play tested and in very good used condition - surface noise is evident, especially in soft passages and during a song's intro and fade, but does not overpower the music otherwise. Light groove wear is noticeable, as are light audible scratches.
