  1. that pic looks like something like dust or something got embedded under the grooves (which is what someone else suggested to me) and there are spikes coming out of the record, which I'm sure pop when the needle goes over them. That's not what this record looks like at all. they are like very wide (but not tall at all) sand dunes or something. it's a clean record with a bizarre pressing defect that doesn't affect play.

    shady people exist in every country collecting every genre. i'm sorry this happened to you.
  4. boba replied to Trev Thomas's topic in Look At Your Box
    the phenomenon is mainly for boogie records and the scammers are mostly younger, early 20s collectors just knocking up bids or screwing around. the problem is that there are obviously legitimate boogie buyers in those countries and the scammers do it frequently and ruin the reputation of the countries for everyone.
  5. I've seen many thousands of 45s and never seen this. I guess it could be air but if that were the case it must be trapped deep in the center because the vinyl is pretty solid. I wish I could take a picture to show it.
  6. This is actually a clean copy. Selling this in demand Chicago modern 45 at a low price due to a weird problem with the record that does not affect play (read description) and because I'm trying to move it quickly. This is a copy of Lust "I love you still" / "I like spending time with you" on Ca$h. The actual vinyl is very clean, VG+ to VG++. However, there is a very weird problem with the record that clearly happened at pressing time and that I've never seen before. The vinyl is covered on both sides with weird non-uniform bumps which are large in area but very small in height. They are not high enough to possibly cause skips on any turntable, the needle lightly moves up and down (on another turntable I couldn't even see the needle move up and down at all). It is NOT heat damage, if you see the record you will see it only could have happened at pressing time (e.g. it needed extra vinyl material to come out this way). As far as I can tell they don't affect play at all, here is full 256kbs stereo audio of both sides: https://www.divshare.com/download/21480117-256 The bumps do not show up in scans. here are scans of both sides. https://s982.beta.photobucket.com/user/sittinginthepark/media/lust-a_zpsd2e78bde.jpg.html https://s982.beta.photobucket.com/user/sittinginthepark/media/lust-b_zps587647cf.jpg.html I am really bad at photography and despite everything I tried, I was unable to take a picture of the bumps. I did take some video of the record playing, which I was hoping would make the bumps visible. It doesn't but you can see the needle move lightly up and down: https://www.divshare.com/download/21480510-edc $300. $2 shipping to the US, $7 overseas. Paypal only.

    you get his record collection which he has abandoned due to his newfound spiritualism
  10. 2-5? are you using a shure sc35? I would stay on the lower end of what is recommended, that is a needle that is probably meant for scratching, etc. so it allows for a higher tracking force, but for home play you definitely should stay on the lower end of the allowed force. if a needle is mistracking it is riding unevenly against certain parts of the grooves instead of sitting where it should be. this will ultimately wear the record unevenly (e.g. you could get distortion in one channel) and if you have a good system and good ear you should be able to hear that it doesn't sound good.

    please, most people couldn't google their way to aretha franklin
  15. please list a record on ebay, "take it down", and give a link to the popsike indexed auction
  16. Popsike does not index records that are "taken down", whatever that means (assuming it means ended early without bids). There also wouldn't have been bid type ended prices if that were the case.
  17. unlocked at the request of a member wishing to post details

    30kg is a very generous carry on allowance, most are closer to 7kg. if you're carrying the turntable on why do you need a locked case? either way, good luck with your move!
  19. imo "it only takes a minute" is one of the best songs of the disco era
  20. boba replied to a post in a topic in Look At Your Box
    I think for heavy things like this or for many records many people will ship stuff back to themselves
  21. I never liked the shirley edwards. It's not bad, just sort of mediocre to me.
  22. yes. mistracking means the needle isn't riding correctly. It might be playing back fine while at the same time damaging the grooves.
