Screaming crying throwing up

Brasilian Skies by Masayoshi Takanaka

Thrift shop find. Put them together to discover they make a larger image .. Are there other examples of bands doing this?

$1.49 each. Still can’t believe I got this lucky. The Marduk CD is still factory wrapped 🤘

My crazy might not be your crazy. My initial goal was to buy only the rare / HTF CDs I've been looking for for ages (didn't find any), but the deals were so good (Book Off, Disk Union) and the feeling of wandering through aisles and aisles of CDs (especially Tower Records) was so exhilarating that I could not resist.

i felt exactly like when i used to visit CD stores during trips 20-30 years ago. This was my ritual: every city visited, I'd go to music stores and get CDs, often finding totally unexpected albums! On my best trips, my haul would look like this.

TOP 2 ROWS: thrifted... all from various Disk Union branches, plus 3 in the next to last picture that were found at Book Off (Belle & Sebastian and Cyndi Lauper). I totally didn't expect to find one of my favorite B&S albums and I wasn't even shopping around for those!

almost all of these used CDs look like new or almost new, and some i suspect are actually new. in Disk Union grading, they were A, or at most B+. I think their standards are so much higher!

BOTTOM 2 ROWS: Tower Records Shinjuku (sadly couldn't visit the Shibuya branch). i went crazier in Tower Records (expense wise) than in Disk Union because i prefer my CDs brand new and because of the sheer availability. So here i focused on filling up the missing essentials in my collection. PLUS they are Japan made which supposedly sound better?

Iron Maiden Senjutsu was one that i specifically intended to buy in person in Japan, in that specific edition and at Tower Records, so that goal was achieved.

Silvana Estrada and Iron Maiden's Brave New World are from Disk Union but are both new. BNW discount priced tho.

BONUS: last picture, i got that at Disk Union Ochanomizu, they specialize in rock / metal if I'm not mistaken and have a selection of merch.

i think I'm done buying CDs for several months now. usually my buys are 1-2 each month, amd i need to recover financially... but oh well, I can't say I'm not happy! 😁 💿

Two legends gone too soon

Small but humble. Ignore all the price tags don’t know why those are still there.

Only £0.20 or about a quarter for the Americans (it may not be that rare but the lowest I’ve seen it go for is at least 100 bucks and I’ve been wanting it for ages)

Progressive Electronic, Synthpop, IDM, Techno, Experimental, Industrial, etc. Classics of electronic music genres.

A few months ago I was gifted the MOFI Dangerous hybrid SACD and was blown away by the improvements made from the original master tapes and had to grab the other two: Off The Wall and Thriller which arrived yesterday afternoon. These, too, sound absolutely remarkable and I highly recommend them to everyone.

Michael is one of my all time favorite artists and I’m so thrilled to own the entire set. MOFI is allegedly working on HIStory next which I’m incredibly excited about despite that album sounding quite good already. Just hope they use the masters for the original uncensored version of TDCAU.

happy that at 15 the Easter bunny still gives me cool stuff!

Time to get my Pysch on.
