Arcade Fire vinyl LPs are a thing of beauty as well btw - got Funeral and Neon Bible and both are really well put together with plenty of nice touches.
I'm really keen on Special/Limited Editions as well. Picked up a SE of Queens of the stoneage's most recent album and it is a thing of beauty. There's a Mew vinyl limited to 500 copies which I keep narrowly missing out on, and a Sigur Ros boxset that is going for hundreds, individually stamped.
What I find difficult is knowing what a good price for a brand new LP album is. Can range anywhere from £14-£30. Just got a lovely limited edition of the new Queens Of The Stoneage album, proper work of art.
My collection is starting to fall into 2 categories - classic 60s-80s vinyl which I pick up at car boots etc for cheap, what I want to know really is where to look for modern/new albums at the best price. Discogs is great, problem is some of my tastes are a bit obscure/eclectic so some I am...
Honestly I'm not huge fan of how they look, bit poncy I know. Difficult though as I don't want something that looks nice but sounds shit. Thanks for advice, will look into.
