Vinyl Collectors Unite!

Great used finds at Waterloo last night.

I found a copy of Neil Young's 2LP Greatest Hits in pretty much NM condition. The sticker said it's was "dished" and sold as-is. Asked clerk and apparently this means it had too much pressure on the center during manufacturing and so if you hold it up flat it looks like all the sides bow upwards. But I tested it on the store's turntable and it plays fine, no skips or jumps. It even had the red 7" of The Loner/Sugar Mountain in the sleeve. For a LP that retails new for $35-$40, I couldn't pass it up used for $15!!

My girlfriend got Sonic Youth's Dirty in pretty decent condition too.

that's a $40 record!? sheesh! yeah, i have a few records that look a little warped but play just fine. my copy of l'enfance eternelle's LP (see my avatar) as well as the first modern english album have this issue, but they play perfectly with no skips/jumps etc. i do have one giantly warped record i'm gonna stick in the oven between two plates of glass though. was a free gift if i could fix it, so nothing to lose...
