Saturday Record Store pickups

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (reissue, new).
Tame Impala - Innerspeaker (reissue, "new"). "still in shrink". definitely not mint because there's fingerprints all over it, store tried pocketing an extra $20 from me claiming I handed them $40 and not $60. I bet they evade sales tax just to do this.)

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited (reissue, new).
Yoko Ono / Plastic Ono Band - Plastic Ono Band (reissue, new). Found it under John Lennon and assumed it was that one but my app told me it was the Yoko Ono one. I bought it anyway to annoy my neighbours. To great success!
Paul McCartney - McCartney (original, used). Amazing copy for $9.
Paul McCartney / Wings - London Town (original, used). $6
Electric Light Orchestra - On the Third Day (original, used). $9
Electric Light Orchestra - A New World Record (original, used). $9
Electric Light Orchestra - Discovery (original, used). $6

Moral of the story: don't treat your customers like shit and they'll buy all your stuff.

It's going to take me awhile to collect all of ELO :lol: I was hoping Out of the Blue was going to have a good 40th reissue, but it's going to be a picture disc.

I can't find a source that talks of anything beyond Ringo producing it himself and doing part of the mixing.

Having a digitally sourced, vinyl mixed record is still a good release. I like quietness in my music because it adds emphasis. Modern music/digital is exhausting. Records physically limiting loudness is what makes it my preferred medium, not any sense of analog purity.

I'm eyeing a digital receiver at the moment. Not all digital is bad. It's convenient. Which is good.
