The Vinyl Collectors Thread

Lol, wow!

This was another unexpected find: The original Nuclear Blast white vinyl release of Mortification's classic third album. This thing looks like it fetches upwards of $80 nowadays, but I paid $20.

 

[Doom]

I spent a few years in the 2000s buying small quantities of vinyl, especially anything related to my favourite bands of the time. However I haven't bothered for years. So I'm basically just left with have a box of vinyl (including some rarities) just sat in my old bedroom at my mother's house collecting dust. I should probably pick them up and at least stick them on a wall or something. As nice as it is, I can't see myself ever purchasing physical media again.

Hammerheart Records:

Dont care what anyone says, that Ensiferum debut is rousing jollyfolk. Still love it after all these years

 

[SonOfNun]

It really is. These are the only two Ensiferum albums I have/need but they are gold. If I ever finish that Top Whatever of 2001 I was working on the debut will probably be top 3 for that year.

 

[J.]

Definitely get From Afar. I rate it only behind the debut.

Victory Songs is pretty good too

 

[SonOfNun]

I have thought about doing so. I kind of assumed they wouldn't be as good without Jari, but the reviews for those two albums are very good.

 

[SonOfNun]

The first two really need a vinyl re-issue as well.

 

[SonOfNun]

This one's quite a rarity. Original Nuclear Blast LP from 1992 (w/ 7" to fit all the songs). Great record:



These are surprisingly hard to get since the band keeps selling out every run that they do but I finally got the second album on vinyl and the first (picture disc) is on the way:

 

[SonOfNun]

This album is straight Heavy Metal Thunder™

Vinyl re-issue by secular label No Remorse Records out of Greece:

I gotta say, I really enjoy the newest Wytch Hazel album, but " II: Sojourn" is really underwhelming. This guy repeats certain vocal lines over and over and over again. It's totally fatiguing. The album just kind of lacks balls in general.

That's what I've been saying in the tournament threads. The debut and the new one are both better. I'm probably going to nominate one of them for the next round because they deserve a better showing.

I agree with this assessment.

Finally acquired this rare Death/Doom gem. Usually sells for well over $100. Quality album from 1994 that should get more love.

I found some pretty cool versions of the Hammerheart Trouble re-issues on the Napalm Records webstore. They may be exclusive to them as I haven't seen these for sale anywhere else (including Hammerheart) and almost no one has them in their collection on Discogs. The Psalm 9 LP is especially cool.
