Warped....

[TroyD]

Yes, I am but that's not the point....

Man, I've been REALLY lucky in that all the vinyl I've bought via the internet has been in good shape with few exceptions EXCEPT for my quest for a copy of Third Stage by Boston. I've bought THREE copies, all sealed and ALL freakin' WARPED. What gives?? Is there a conspiracy out there for me NOT to listen to Third Stage on LP????

[michael_w]

Guess you can't just iron out them like I did dvd's :D

[TroyD]

No, I know that if I get my google on there are some theories on how to un-warp 'em. Shoot, with three copies, what have I got to lose??

BDT

[audiobliss]

Not much, but maybe two copies, if you have some self-restraint.

[BIZILL]

i've got a 250 ton press at my work........

[unc2701]

Well I was planning on going over to the thrift store tomorrow- they always have lotsa crappy music no one else would want. I'll see if I can find that boston album for ya.

are you being scarsatic? if so.. that's funny. "lotsa crappy music no one else would want" waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :p

[ninerbj]

For all you Lp lovers...I have 300+ sitting in boxes in my basement. Mostly rock...anyone looking for something in paticular? (no, I don't have any un-warped Boston)

[audiobliss]

no, I don't have any un-warped Boston...yeah, but do you have three warped copies of Boston?

:p

So, you have stuff like Beatles, Beach Boys, etc. on up to present day stuff? Or what? just curious...

[ninerbj]

started collecting in the late 70's 79-80's No beatles or beach bum's...more like Neil Young, n stuff like that. some diff stuff if I remember...Zappa, Ian Hunter, Yes, Dire Straights, Ted Nugent, Kiss, The Tubes, Utopia, Pat Matheny, Peter Frampton, Cars, lots. I need to re-visit these things and make a list.

[bert26]

Hi niner,
I'd be interested in some dire straits depending on what you have. Please let me know if you make an inventory.

Is Third Stage alot like the first 2 Boston albums? My .02.

Chris

[ninerbj]

will do.

I will do a list in the next few days. This may just make a nice Karma!!

[audiobliss]

You got that right!! :D

[bert26]

GREAT idea for karma! Now I just have to get my posts up to be certain that I will qualify!

[madmax]

Any jazz or blues in that LP stash? I would be interested if so.

[BIZILL]

i don't have an LP button on my remote. also, will they play in a regular cd/dvd player?

[audiobliss]

^ Rofl

[BIZILL]

what's so funny, bliss? okay, will they play in a laser disc player? :D

[BIZILL]

sorry troy. didn't mean to derail your thread. niner, you may want to hold on to your collection. may be worth some bucks down the road?

[audiobliss]

Hey! :mad: You keep quiet!!

:D

[ninerbj]

Anyone that knows anything about LP's will tell you that most 90%+ are not worth much in the market at all. Of course there are a few limited presses and such that bring a higher dollar, but precentage wise it's pretty low.

[ninerbj]

Max,
I will check for blues and jazz stuff

[BIZILL]

This may just make a nice Karma!!

then righto!

[audiobliss]

righto!

*gives you a strange look*

[BIZILL]

sorry all. i'm in a what feels to be a drunken daze. staring @ a computer screen for hours on end at work is boring. you all keep me alive with your posts.

[audiobliss]

Hey!......glad I could help.... ;) :D :) :p :eek:

[TroyD]

...yeah, but do you have three warped copies of Boston?

:p

I've got a little of everything. I'll catalog it and post it for you. You should be able to squeeze a couple hundred more posts out of that.

[audiobliss]

...oooh...I sense something here....

[ninerbj]

lol...one post for every LP I have...POLKMASTER HERE I COME!!!!

[TroyD]

...oooh...I sense something here....

No, I'll spell it out for you. Read more and post less.

Jeeze, a third of the posts in this thread belong to you; and at what value added? I'm all for a derail/humor post but good grief man...sometimes brevity is a GOOD thing.

I don't want to offend you but some times the posts with" :eek: " or " :D " or a "+1" are unneccessary.

PLEASE don't take it as a slap on the hand, just some friendly advice.

BDT

[audiobliss]

Point well taken.

[Polkitup2]

Here's what you need to remove those nasty warps from LPs

i see your point. but everything he posts reflects crowd participation. he's openly made known he is after the polk master status, but he adds knowledge here and there. maybe i'm defending him because i'm guilty of the same. i don't feel i'm in the wrong. my faults are derailment of threads and nothing more.

[BIZILL]

perhaps the polk "status" below a person's name should not be indicative of that person's audio/visual knowledge. rather be it a gage of one's participation level. i'm sure some newbies could prove better versed in wisdom pertaining to the hobby. just because one has a high post level count could possibly prove nothing more than the fact that person is fun, or perhaps has nothing else in life to do with his/her time. though i'm sure some are precise in conveying one's superiority.

[petrym]

rather be it a gage of one's participation level.
I'm more of a lurker than a poster -- I've been on this forum close to four years and I've barely cracked 300 posts, it's just that I have little to say. I prefer to contribute when I know about something versus throwing out an opinion on every thread I look at. Just my $0.02.

[TroyD]

Look, guys, I'm not making a personal judgement....I've got nothing against audiobliss and I've said much the same thing to others, most notably Sid.

I have no issues with a funny post or derailing a thread here and there or anything else.....but if you own a third of the posts in one thread with nothing of any real value added, IMHO, that's a little excessive. It's my opinion, I'm not making a federal case nor demanding anyone to change thier habits, I'm just stating MY thoughts.

BDT

[audiobliss]

I'm not sure where I said I'm after the Polk Master title, but I guess I might have. I don't really care for the title, or the one I have now, because neither accurately reflect on me. I mean, I have NO piece of any kind of equipment with the Polk name on it (and now I remember that my laptop has Polk speakers - but I don't think that really counts), and I know barely anything at all about audio. I'm not really that crazy about having a high post count, either. I mean, I'm glad we have it on CP as opposed to some other forums that don't, because it often times does reflect accurately on the poster, but my loquacity comes naturally. I'd have to admit I'm not this verbose in person, but my post count is not what motivates me to be so on here. I just am.

I don't see the post count as meaning anything except perhaps that the poster has been around long enough to prove he's not an instigator, at least at some level is a solid member, and has at least an interest in audio, if not a ton of knowledge about the subject. I believe (hope) no one would question if those three things are true about me, so I don't see that there could be any kind of selfish motivation for racking up posts. It's kinda fun, and it puts a smile on my face when I'm called a post whore (of course when there's a smiley to go along with the accusation), and it's fun to play the part. I try to put that humorous nature aside in more serious threads so as not to be a disturbance, but I obviously enjoy playing with it in all the other threads.

Perhaps I should post less and think more (well, I know I should think more...). I would really like to read more and learn more about audio so I can make more relevant and helpful posts, but I can't seem to find the time to become more knowledgeable. But then again I have enough time to be a 'post whore', so I guess I have no excuse; I guess I just don't have my priorities set up quite right.

Anyways, I hope that made sense.

[audiobliss]

Look, guys, I'm not making a personal judgement

And just for the record, I haven't taken it that way. So far it's just been friendly advice, and I appreciate that.

[BIZILL]

group hug, no tongue kisses!
