<p>// Items marked with đź’– are things I would try for since they have
official releases</p>
<h4>How to shop for records</h4>
<p>To shop for records generally, if the band is active/modern I try and
link or share their official merch/bandcamp (generally you can websearch
for the bands website where they usually link their US LP store).</p>
<p>But otherwise using Discogs is the easiest way to shop for used records.
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 rel=
"external noopener noreferrer"
target="_blank"
href="https://www.etsy.com/market/record_crate">found here on etsy</a>.
Ideally it would be something that can hold 10+ records for storage -
but even something that displays a single record (like what is currently
playing) is needed. And probably more within the price limit.</p>
