it was $18 at the local "indie' record store. i also bought weapons of ass destruction on vinyl and some bootleg cd from 03 called "Eric's Trip to Philadelphia"

that's all i have on vinyl, but i have a pretty big sonic youth cd collection (23 i think), so that's why i don't buy any vinyl except for the syr releases. i don't really like buying singles or anything unless i randomly find it for cheap. i just need syr 5 to complete the vinyl collection. oh yeah, i have trees outside of the academy on vinyl also and the mirror dash 7 inch.

All I have is EVOL.

All I need is EVOL.

you gots the avant garde on vinyl!

I got a lot of great SY vinyl 12" and 7: sorry not pix though.

Arrived Today:

Free Kitten's Punks Sueing Punks EP 7"

great record, though very short, not sure it justifies an 'EP'

i have that and it is great.

It certainly is great fun, the B side Coco's Theme is the better of the three tracks. The sleeve also has a big picture of Kim hugging Snoopy on the back which caused an 'awwwwwww' moment.

my updated sonic carpet

My Sonic Youth Collection:



I also have First Original Silence CD and Second Original Silence double LP which are not in that picture.

we are all sonic soldiers

The two prized possessions in my SY collection are:

- Daydream Nation: Unopened mint condition (still w/ original plastic packaging intact) Enigma US double vinyl ('88)

- Sonic Youth (s/t): Mint condition SST cassette featuring all 5 songs on side 1,w/ all 5 played backwards on side 2 ('87)

So you buy records not to listen to them but because they're valuable items?

Yes and no. I have another well-worn copy on vinyl, and two copies on CD. I bought the unopened record as a collector's piece in 2005, but the other copies I've owned since the early 90's.

Shitty picture of my collection, or most of it at least.



I also have few t-shirts and posters (Sensational Fix Malmö, Starpower and few others, I think).

Every time I think of it, I get all giggly and butterflies swim through my stomach . . .

Noise Fest Cassette.

I listened to it once years ago, and only once, for I fear my tape player shall eat it. Oh! if I could hear it again!

I have a few things in the mail...I'm gonna take an updated pic soon.

I'm a vinyl nub. My first sy buy was the destroyed room. I also bought evol and cis/kyi on record store day.

Now I also have "Helen Lundeberg/Eyeliner" 7 "(it came last week). I´m so happy (there came also "Teenage Riot"-sticker)!

Original Silence Album is experimental free form jazz with Thurston and i think Lee or Steve

Original Silence is:
Mats Gustafsson - saxophone (tenor & baritone)
Thurston Moore & Terrie Ex - guitars
Jim O'Rourke - electronics
Massimo Pupillo - bass
Paal Nilssen-Love - drums

I have never seen that SY cd that in an aluminum case.... What is is called?

ToL (Text of Light) - Metal Box

This is the last 2 weeks of ebay scores...trying to fill in records I may have another format or version of or a different label. I'm going to have to update my definitive sy vinyl collection pic very soon. (sst versions of s/t & cis, yaf 12", original pressings of the ciccone 12" single and album, whitey album promo, superstar split with redd kross and sunday 7").





this is my old definitive pic...about 5 years old...

Definitely a good place to pick up some icp.

You'd be surprised at all that they offer, I rarely ever have to pursue elsewhere for music.

I like this thread...here's what I just got:
Neutral Press:

and a fitting score for the season:

Hahaha... this thread is still going?! Jesus.

I suppose you don't need photos of this but I just a scored an original, numbered and near-mint copy of Walls Have Ears. Before I tell you what I paid, what do you reckon would be a fair price?

£50 or thereabouts. It varies quite a lot though.
Is the number on yours printed or handwritten?

Ah well, I paid £60 for mine so I guess that's not too atrocious. My copy has a printed number, the artwork sleeves and the full-colour vinyl labels. I don't know if that changes things but it looks like the first pressing to me.

Yeah, that sounds like an original. I've seen a couple that have a hand-written number, but suspect those are from the blank second-pressing with the number added at some later point.
Prices do vary wildly for Walls - I paid £25 for an original 2-3 years back, but Popsike lists copies selling for as much as $380(!).
It's a fucking blinding album no matter what it cost :)

I take pictures from my SY collection, but it seems that I haven´t got skills to put them here...

I give up.

you can't link a file directly from your hard drive, go to tinypic.com or imageshack.us and follow the instructions...

Ok, I haven´t got time now (i´m in work), I try someday at home!
