..people who sell john's vinyls online for like 5 times the original price... clearly i'm just bitter 'cus i'm a collector and the one's i'm missing keep popping up for astronomical prices. The thing that fucks me off the most is that to own one of these albums youre most likely a fan therefore selling them at such stupid prices is shitting on your own kind. Dicks!

Which one is missing?

[Blank]

empyrean and will to death. foolishly at the time of the releases i wasn't really into vinyls any more and now it's all i listen to. stupid younger me!

[ghsiii]

Ha, Ha, "stupid younger me!", that was funny but I'm the same way man. Vinyl seems to be all I want to listen to and acquire now. And I agree with you about the gouging prices. I was hoping no one would buy from 'pizzaface' but there were 3 bids and it sold for $80. sucks!

Can I hop on the stupid younger me bandwagon?
7 years ago, I was 21, I had a generous reasonably wealthy friend who was sending me JF CDs as they were coming out (they did not appear here until 2005 and even when they did, they'd always be months late, and I did not have a bank card back then) and she asked me if I wanted the Live in Hyde Park vinyl, and JF albums on vinyl, too. I was too ashamed to accept it.

So, I miss Inside of Emptiness and DC EP on vinyl. And obviously, Live in Hyde Park, which was eventually scrapped due to errors. Funny enough, all the others, I got for their regular value in 2008.

Blank, if you don't mind, I changed the topic title to something than makes more sense, so everyone would come here and whine.

Sure, hop aboard! ;-) Wow, I didn't know that Live in Hyde Park was even attempted for vinyl. And you said that it was scrapped due to errors but were there a few made that were fine or was the whole project scrapped before any were distributed??

[Fenix]

Can I also lament over how where I live getting ANY of John's vinyls is virtually impossible ?

[Iva]

Fenix, would they be confiscated if someone sent you one? Just wondering.

ghsii, no, they pulled it back and scrapped it after a couple of weeks. I can't remember what the error is, for the life of me, perhaps someone else will know.

[Fenix]

They might. They might not. The safest way is to ask someone to bring them personally. DHL could work... But regular post is almost 100% doomed to get confiscated. Again, some factors like the cover art might affect its chances.

[newcreature]

I'm such an idiot. Holy shit. I didn't realize that they wouldn't continue pressing them.

I JUST got a turntable and a decent hi-fi system. I was about to buy The Empyrean... low and behold... five minutes ago, for the first time, I notice that they're not available.

It's embarrassing how out of the loop I am. Why did I assume that this would be around so long?

Is The Empyrean going to be re-printed anytime soon?

[cosplusisin]

I just got a new turntable about a month ago and started getting a whole lot of albums. the only artist that i am severely lacking in is John Frusciante. I have one record, that's *sort of* a John Frusciante album, and that is the Brown Bunny soundtrack. I bought a few years ago, when I was trying to collect all the JF stuff I could, on CD, because i didn't have a good turntable. the Brown Bunny CD was always SO expensive*, so I found a vinyl copy for a reasonable price (around $20), and bought that. My record player was not so great, but it was better than nothing. Now it's the only JF vinyl I have! and i'm glad and lucky to have it! it will be expensive to get them all, but I'm thinking of getting a few.. my favourites: Will to Death, Inside of Emptiness, Shadows Collide With People, and The Empyrean. I'd like Niandra LaDes & Usually Just a T-shirt, but as far as I can tell, it was never released on vinyl.

But yes, to add to the lamenting, I wish I could get these, but they are SO expensive. I wish Record Collection/merchlackey would stick to their word and make some more! That is, on recordcollectionmusic.com, you go to the store, and find (for example) the Will to Death on vinyl, it's $16, with a little message "Manufacturing delay, new ship date coming soon.", which has been there forever!!



*And as a side note, about Brown Bunny, later i got lucky with the CD - the CD is usually like $50 or more, wherever I come across it, but there was a store in my town going out of business, so they had a 70% off sale, and they had that album, so after the discount, I bought it for a pretty normal reasonable CD price!

Congratulations.

Finally got my first JF record. The Empyrean. I couldn't believe I actually found it in some obscure record store in SD. When I asked the guy at the counter how much for it he said, "well, it seems kind of tattered, so I will sell it to you for 40 dollars" it was damn near impossible for me to hold in my immediate joy

-.- i hate you. empyrean is currently #1 on my vinyl want list.

My lady just got me "A Sphere in the Heart of Silence" on vinyl for my birthday. She got it off of ebay and it was $150....insane! But it does sound awesome!

[ezionretaw]

I have the "Estress" EP that contains the vinyl only "Outside Space". I have played it a total of 3 times in the 14 years I've owned it. It is in excellent condition. If you would like to purchase this please contact me and we can discuss it. I also have a sealed copy of the omar + john record that was released just last year. mint condition.

thanks


ps, please dont waste my time if your expecting to only pay $10 for these items. its an insult to me and i'd rather just destroy the records rather than just 'give them away'. if you can find it for $10 from someone else then i'd say jump on that deal cause it isn't going to happen here.

[Arakuine]

selling my vinyl copy of The Empyrean last year was the biggest mistake of my life...

now that john is slowly turning into a new captain beefheart when it comes to releasing music, these vinyls will become super rare.

at least somebody else is happy now
