Overall, you simply look through their releases filtering for Vinyl and the album and find a cheaper US release. Try and <strong>avoid good or fair</strong> quality as it usually means “pretty rough but it works”. VG is my usual minimum. And do check the sellers shipping options. Sometimes, they make deals for 2+ records (like flatrate shipping) so sometimes ordering from the same store can save some money!.</p> <p>And PLEASE DO NOT EVER spend a lot on a record. Usually $30 is a brand new repress cost for a 2xLP and my maximum. I would much rather have something not on the above list - knowing it wasn’t a total rip-off.</p> <p>Speaking of represses, represses are always fine. If there are notoriously bad represses/rereleases I’d make it known. But so far only the first two Iron Maiden albums (Self, Killers) suffer from originally bad mastering - so it doesn’t <em>really</em> matter if its a repress/release or not. Its mostly purists/nerds who care.</p> <h3>Else</h3> <p>If you are sick of getting me records for gifts - I do need something to hold some overflow for my records like <a href= "https://www.etsy.com/market/record_crate">found here on etsy</a></p> <p>Interesting Fountain Pen ink shades: <a href= "https://www.jetpens.com/Fountain-Pen-Inks/ct/3250">Jetpens Store</a></p> </div> </body> </html>
