goHastings.com is a great place for shopping vinyl. I got 30% off on records on which I would never get any more than 11% (at best) discount from the usual "audiophile" stores: Elusive, Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct, etc.

Today it's CYBERMON to get the 30% off.

Oh man, that 30% off was pretty irresistable. But be sure to check your order before placing it. The code did not apply to all the vinyl I put in my cart. It did apply to enough vinyl though...

Ok, really dumb question. On the gohasting website if it says long play record that means vinyl correct? just starting out with vinyl so not exactly sure about all the termology

roscoeiii · « **Reply #8 on:** 27 Nov 2012, 03:27 pm »

Yep. long play record = LP

The older 78 rpm records could only hold less than 5 minutes of music per side spinning at that speed and requiring wider grooves. These were replaced by "microgroove" records spinning at 33-1/3 rpm which gave them the ability to hold more than 20 minutes of music per side - thus was born the "LP" record.

Hi.

If you are NOT fans of big-shot singers like yours truly, you can save tons of vinly money by picking recyled LPs from thrift stores. Mind you, don't expect to get Michael Buble' or Katherine McPhee LPs there. OK?

If you are sorta music old schoolers like me, you will get tons of excellent classical LPs there. Even digital masters for as cheap as 75 cents a pop if you are lucky. I've collected 12 digital mastered classical LPs of excellent sonic quality & I paid only 75 cents each.

Given proper treatment before playing them, all my recyled LPs sound superb like new.

What can be sweeter deals than those!

Indeed. Used is the greatest way to go for cheap vinyl.

At the gohastings.com sale, I loaded up on recently released music that is hard to find used, and with the 30% off the price was at times less than I could find the LP used.

I also stayed away from older titles for this sale since it was not always easy to figure out which release they were. And some of the reissues are very dubious, being sourced from CDs, needle drops or digital files.

Same here. I got Neil Young's Americana, Patti Smith's Outside Society: Looking Back 1975-2007, 10000 Maniac's Our Time in Eden along with new stuff from Pistol Annies, The Decemberists, Sera Cahoone and Adela Diane. All 30% off. Did I mention I like female vocals?

Might I recommend Sharon Von Etten's "Tramp"? She was one that I grabbed yesterday.

I got 15 percent off at insound dot com mainly because I wanted to be absolutely sure it was the REISSUE of Television Marquee Moon.

Eh? Not much danger in getting an original pressing from one of these sites. And the original pressing is rather excellent to my ears.

Lot of enthusiasm about this reissue over on SH Forum
