I agree with brianlux, you made some karma points :thumbup: That idea with re-doing the cover sounds good. And at least the record is in good shape!

A couple from U2

My two favorite U2 albums. Always have been and (very much most likely) always will be. I friend of mine who played in a local band saw U2 play a small gig on a second floor stage in an old hotel in San Jose, CA around the time of "Boy"- maybe even just prior to that first album's release. He was blown away by the band's energy but told me the crowd was so into the music and so enthusiastically pogo dancing that he was hugely concerned that the floor would collapse. I bought their first four or five albums when they came out and saw them with Black Uhuru and The Alarm in SF during the "War" tour. It was a killer show!

Yeah you were definitely hard done by with that damaged record PJ_Soul and the messy business that goes with it, especially with what you paid for it and the fact you expected Mint, that sucks all kinds of balls. Looking on the bright side though, you have Avocado on vinyl that's still pretty damn cool! Not many people can say that, I for one... Chin up pal!

^^^^ Nice reesdog. I was big time into JSBE in the mid-late 90s but don't have that album. Good on you. Did you go to their last couple of gigs here?

You are absolutely right. In the scheme of things, I am not so hard done by! I just had to vent and let it all out I guess! And yeah, the album sounds great. One of the discs got a little bit bent from the damage too, but it didn't affect play. And if I put the thing in the right light, with a shadow over the top few inches, the front of the jacket looks pretty good.

Oh boy PJ_Soul, so sorry to hear this. What a fucktard :x You would think that people who sell stuff like this and get so much money for it know how precious it must be to the buyer and pack accordingly. Fingers crossed you get this resolved.

And I saw an Avocado today on discogs for 200$. I would love to whip these out, but tour is coming, and I have other priorities!

ugh! I was going for sealed/mint of course, but now that my sealed/mintnalbum is destroyed, that $200 very good plus jacket on discogs is looking pretty good! :fp:

They guy is giving me back $65. :roll: He actually had the nerve to bargain me down from my dispute claim not $89. But when he said 1) he didn't want to see photos because he wanted to remember it as he remembered it (he was a 10c member before getting married) and 2) that he had to pay $65 in installments because he's so broke, I caved anyway. I guess I am a softy. :fp:

You're a good soul, PJ_Soul. I hope your good karma finds you a reasonable replacement. If I had the record (at this time I do not) I would reproduce the cover at 100% original size at a good print shop and send the reproduction to you. I did that with a hard to find jazz LP one time. The cover was moldy so I took some Windex with me to a print shop, color copied the cover to make my own cover out of and cleaned their machine before I left. The reproduced cover looks pretty good.

That's a good idea Brian! I guess I should count myself lucky - no mold on my Avocado.

Oh man I just read your posts and that whole situation sucks :( As you say though, at least the record sounds great. Brian's photocopy idea sounds pretty good too. I may try that for some of my older records

Thanks Morello, it's a great record, a little mellower than most their stuff, but still very good. Haven't seen them live yet, really should have gone to see them the last time they were in town, missed the boat on that one for sure!

Oh jeez dude. I've been to there last 2 gigs here & they're definitely rocking!

Near mint first edition. Not the best sounding record, ever, something to do with how it was made specifically for the all in one stereos people were using back in the day apparently.....but no pops or scratches, and at £12 I couldn't resist it!

May 30th

Blitzen Trapper- VII
Ryan Adams- Easy Tiger

Can't wait for next week when the new Amos Lee album is out. And then of course, PJ, Avett Bros and Head and the Heart on the 15th.

Great pickup. Need to get that still.

I got the Tellin Stories reissue with a second LP of b-Sides a few months back. Worth getting if you don't have the original pressing and 12"s.

Finally got a copy of Neil Young - Live At Massey Hall, Toronto. 1971 and I LOVE it!

Also picked up Led Zepplin - In Through The Out Door. Another classic that is fantastic. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
