I haven't seen any info on this MARILYN MANSON & NINE INCH NAILS split 2×7" ltd BOX as a numbered limited ed set and am curious if it is an official release and if it should be on the hunt list

Hi,

So I've been trying to hunt down The Fragile lp and have finally found one and I'm |----| this close to getting it. I'm going to give it as a gift. I was wondering if you have any ideas on what frame I should get to display them? I would prefer to show all three lps and the cover. Or perhaps I should just hand it to them and let them decide if they want to play it or frame it? Let me know your ideas/opinions. Thanks !

Giving someone an original copy of TF is a pretty nice gift in general. Depends on what kind of reaction you're looking for. I vote just give it to them. If you think they might want to frame it mention that you'll pitch in with the cost and you can both collaborate on the design of the frame.

can anyone suggest an online source for buying a record storage case? or recommend a decent case? I'd like something more permanent than just having them propped up against something atm...

If we do go with the framing idea do you have any suggestions? I'm not sure how to arrange it or where to go as this is my first experience with vinyl. Thanks

Can't really recommend any specific method of framing the vinyls themselves. I've always just gone the route of framing the cover. I've taken them all out of the frames until I have a more permanent location. Try looking for a RIAA Award you like

I prefer this one

Bags Unlimited is great. My only problem - they ship their stuff to Hungary for a relatively high price.

I made a couple pix of my vinyls, check them here if you care.

Oh god. a wonderful collection

Just bought my very first vinyl ever! Year Zero! I originally bought TDS, but both records were warped, so I traded them in for YZ.

Just got my copies of ghosts, the slip, and Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D, adding them to my previous two albums, downward spiral, and all that could have been

but there was no and all that could have been vinyl!

I had a pretty hot wet dream once, which included a triple 180g deluxe edition vinyl of AATCHB, with the Live album on the first 2 vinyls and Still on the third. When I woke up, it was pretty messy.

OMG, I just listened to "Survivalism" 9 inch, and I LOVE NIN ON VINYL!!! Amazing sound! I am now opening up my collection to include vinyl. lol

Got Ghosts for $35 at a record store. Love it.

Hi all - Could someone do the following for a brother to help them know if they've been screwed over?


Can some post the back of their-original-and-know-it's-real The Fragile vinyl... as in, not the inside of the gatefold, but the reverse of it.

Because the one I've just got, doesn't look like this one.



It has the 'sticker' on the back of the gatefold, but worked into the design. Obviously, there is no sticker in sight, and the sleeves don't say 'nothing' on them.

Could the knowledge bods here confirm if I've been screwed? And the records sound very treble end high. It has all the correct catalogue numbers - but I guess that's not an indication.

EDIT - OK, now I'm confused. I think I have been sent this one.

Clicky

Except mine is without the Island logo on the actual records themselves.

Very confused.

Same here yesterday!
I've got TDS and TS on vinyl, too, and am expecting the moment when I'll listen to those.

Just found The Fragile on eBay. This is the link. Can anyone tell if this is a Bootleg or not?

Got in to vinyl recently and picked up TDS, Year Zero, and The Slip. Now on to the more expensive ones...

It's fun just kicking back, listening to good music, and watching the record spin. I don't get the same vibe listening to a CD or iTunes.

^Plus you get a richer,fuller sound on vinyl. CDs (mp3s trim even more) tend to trim certain frequencies due to the sample rate (think widescreen vs fullscreen here) plus you have album art that is bigger than your head. Bottom line is the lowend and highend frequencies are present on vinyl, meaning bassier and richer sounds.

The huge album art is probably my favorite thing about vinyl. The sound is great too. Just the whole vinyl "experience" puts a smile on my face.
