Limited time deal. This is a great price.
CamelCamelCamel.
RIP
yeah I'll bite
Classic. Bought this on CD back in the day from HMV or Sanity. Also have the vinyl somewhere too…
Nice, quite valuable CD these days.
I don't have a turntable but I'll buy this one
GOAT
ya got me, ty
Missed it! Still available through a third party seller for $49.00. June delivery
Yep, still a great price.
Damn! I don't have a turntable either, but I've been want in this vinyl for a while
You can still get it for under $49 if you click "11 New from $48.97" and get it from DeepDiscountEntertainment
Not a vinyl collector but $49 seems a bit steep for music no? Is this actually a bargain?
No - it's been $34.15
Nah it's been lower than that…. in 2020.
A 2xLP set for under $50 could be considered a bargain. Most single LP new releases are anywhere between $55 and $85, and you can nudge the $100 mark for 2xLP releases from overseas acts. It’s certainly an expensive habit.
It's really not. Buy off eBay.
You found this cheaper on ebay? Give us a link
Vinyl's are hipster right now, the same generation (I am this generation) complain about not being able to save, but they're happy to spend $1k on a vinyl setup and $50 a freaking album so they can place it on a nice shelf with indoor plants they spend $100's on. Stanley cup ($75), RM's ($700), Jordan's ($300) are all nice little features in the setups.
All for the gram (and Tiktok now)
I got a pair of SL1210 MK5s and started importing DnB recoords from the UK in the late 90s, early 2000s.
I bought my first pair of RMs around the same time for $350 and got a free oilskin jacket that I sold on eBay for $250.
I also buy Jordans, some worth thousands, but have never paid more than $300.
I don't have any socials, but I have a pretty sweet set up: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/446913/111984/dsc_0050…
How does this rate on the hipster scale?
That's a major up on the scale. Is that an original Voltron or a newer one?
@Pootie Tang: Original with missing parts. Had to beg my parents (we were poor immigrants) to buy it for me.
"How does this rate on the hipster scale"
Too many bottles of booze to lull everyone into thinking you're some sort of overpriced booze connoisseur - check✅.
Bottle of Soylent in the bottom right corner - check✅
Voltron doll just to ruin the entire aesthetic - check✅
Madvillian vinyl post - check✅
Scale is off the charts mate, maybe get the doll out of the picture to bring it down a notch or two?
@scooba: Not gonna bother with the rest of your comment, but the "doll" is important to me so it stays.
So nasty that it's probably somewhat of a travesty
Having me, then he told the people "You can call me Your Majesty"
Keep your battery charged, you know it won't stick yo
And it's not his fault you kick slow
Should've let your trick ho chick hold your sick glow
Plus nobody couldn't do nothin' once he let the brick go
And you know I know that's a bunch of snow
The beat is so butter, peep the slow cutter
As he utter the calm flow ("Your mother—"), don't talk about my moms, yo
Sometimes he rhyme quick, sometimes he rhyme slow
Or vice versa, whip up a slice of nice verse pie
Hit it on the first try, villain: the worst guy
Spot hot tracks like spot a pair of fat asses
Shots of the scotch from out the square shot glasses
And he won't stop 'til he got the masses
And show 'em what they know not through flows of hot molasses
Do it like the robot to headspin to boogaloo

@rosebank: C'mon on man, Voltron was cool….back in the 80's, now it's just cringe to play with dolls.
Always love the pigeon english the rappers come up with when "they spittin" lol.
Check deez out,
"No I don't like your look and I don't like your vibe
I don't want to join you, no I'm not on your side
I'm not a part of your club, no I'm not on your team
And no I don't give a f**k about your hopes and dream".
Edit : Just so we're clear, the above mentioned are lyrics and are NOT as personal "dis"(as OP and his homies would put it) towards OP. I would post a link for the song in here but the band in question has a questionable name and might not be enjoyed by some Ozbargainers.
@scooba: Do you even like rap? Why are you here?
The band must be really obscure, because I've never heard of them even after a quick search of their "bars".
@rosebank: Yes I don’t mind a bit of the old rap, think Beastie Boys and Wu Tang.
“Bars”.
They’ve been around for a few years now and I’d say it’s a bit of a stretch to call them obscure, just got to move in the right circles and just because everyones favourite search engine can’t find the lyrics doesn’t mean they aren’t meant for the unwashed masses.
“Bars”
Thanks for the laugh, here’s some more “bars” from them,
“I’m not a hero for you, not a friend of your cause
I don’t need your love, I don’t need your applause
I’m not a shoulder to cry on, I’ve no cross to bear
I’m just a sick motherfker and I don’t fkin care”.
@scooba: Cool, thanks for sharing.
I hope you keep up the same energy in every other rap album posted, with your obviously obscure band if google can't find them and you have to "move in the right circles" to know who they are.
And also every Bandai "toy" that's posted each week.
@rosebank: You’re welcome pal.
No I don’t think I will and I’m sure there’s some pretty good MC’s out there that I’m missing out on because I don’t move in the right rap/hip hop circles,
Stop playing with dolls mate, it’ll do you the world of good and just because people say the 80’s is back in fashion, doesn’t mean you should flaunt it.
Thanks for reading my blog lol.
@scooba: I already explained in a different comment how I got that "doll" and it's on display, I'm not playing with it. Go tell that the Bandai fans.
My ears perked when you mentioned UK DnB from the late 90's early 2000, that was my prime clubbing days in London.
What were you into? I was mad for anything Ram records, Bad Company, Ganja Crew/True Players, Planet V and many others…. truely a great time in the genre for me.
@Jav79: Yeah same as you. My memory isn't great but I remember Andy C spinning on 3 decks. High Contrast and Hospital Records. Early Pendulum. Roni Size and Reprazent. Ed Rush and Optical… I still have a ton of CDs and Records but currently don't have access to them. Awesome to see a fellow junglist on here
@rosebank: Some legends and greats of the scene you listed.
Andy C - The Executioner - was my favourite DJ/Producer of that time, everything he touched was quality, banging sets in the clubs and the Molten Beats album by Ram Trilogy was and still is one of my favourite albums.
@Jav79: I immediately streamed Ed Rush & Optical - Wormhole as soon as I read you message; one of my favourite albums. Pity YT Music don't have the mixed version, but they do have Molten Beats.
I saw Andy C live everytime he was in town. He's also one of my favourite DJs; probably the most technically gifted, pulling off the most insane shit on 3 decks, while still sounding good with great flow, nothing was forced. And I was at home struggling to beat-match on 2 decks lol.
Another DJ, not DnB and not as technical, was DJ Krush. He played the closing set at WOMAD about 15 years ago in a tiny corner of the festival, but the crowd was great and the set was fantastic. That was the last gig I went to. Getting old but still have fond memories of the raves and festivals I went to ~25 years ago.
@rosebank: Wormhole was so groundbreaking when it came out, a real thinking man's album, tech-step/neurofunk was so mind bending.
DJ Krush is a legend, amazingly talented and still producing music, I've never had the pleasure of seeing him live, maybe one day it will happen as I can't see him ever retiring.
you must be a shocker to have a beer with
he must be a member of The Barking Mad Club by the looks of all that Heartwood Whisky at the front of his display! 🥴
@Wally: I think he was replying the other guy. But I stopped buying Heartwoods (I had every release from the beginning) around the time Barking Mad was launched, which was also around the time my 2 bottle allocation was cut to 1, and after they ran out of Sullivans Juice, everything was Lark, and the prices went above $250.
@rosebank: Y’know there’s so many people with booze collections now it’s like I’m meeting the same person, but in a different skin, even my own friends?
Is this “hobby” supposed to validate them as adults because they can buy many bottles of hundred dollar scotch?
@scooba: I started buying booze around 20 years ago because I liked the taste of whisky. It was a lot cheaper back then. It's not a hobby for me because I'm a functional alcoholic and have expensive taste. Since you legally have to be 18 to buy booze, you're automatically an adult, no validation needed. Perhaps ask your own friends.
@rosebank: But no need to build a shrine to it mate. Listening to rap music, drinking expensive whiskey and playing with dolls are not what I’d call the hallmarks of being an adult.
@rosebank: I never said you weren’t an adult, only that what your displaying doesn’t seem like the behaviour of an adult, emphasis on “seem”.
Listening to rap music, drinking expensive whiskey and playing with dolls are not what I’d call the hallmarks of being an adult.
Except for Beastie Boys and Wu-Tang of course. "Expensive" is relative, would "cheap" whisky be better? For the last time, the vintage Voltron with missing parts is on display. No one is playing with it.
Can you enlighten me on what you'd call "the hallmarks of being an adult." Please be as thorough as possible because I want to learn from the Arbiter of Adulthood. For example:
What music?
Which artists?
What drinks (non-alcoholic)?
What drinks (alcoholic)?
What clothes?
What shoes?
What car?
How many cars?
Bicycles?
Motocycles?
What type of housing?
Investment property?
Commercial property?
What schooling?
What job?
What hobbies?
Married?
How many kids?
Can the kids play with dolls? If so at what age to you dump that shit and thell them to grow up?
Dog or cat?
What breed?
What food?
Who cooks?
Gaming? Console or PC?
What TV shows?
What movies?
What sport to play?
What sport to watch?
Gambling?
What books?
What news outlets?
What political party?
What religion?
What denomination?
Feel free to add additional advice. You've spent a lot of time telling me I don't "seem" like an adult. Now it's time to sack up and tell me how to be a true-blue Aussie adult. Try to be serious and specific as possible, vague/joke answers are a complete cop out and you might as well not bother.
@rosebank: Ok, I'll address your concerns in reverse and try to be as succinct as possible.
Being a "True-Blue Aussie adult" as you put it, is very difficult these days, to understand why just ask your parents.
Ok, to shortlist all those things you listed I'd just say, first drop the dolls, that'll get you on the way to being a "better well rounded adult", you know, one that doesn't think some African American guy saying ner on his rap album is edgy in this current day and age, because we've evolved(apparently), although you wouldn't think so when you look at the popular rappers of today who's "lyfe is about tha money and tha bies".
You've got that right about B-Boys and Wu tang, but it's not the 90's anymore. Yes expensive and cheap whiskey is relative isn't depending on your income and class, but again, why build a shrine to it?(being a functional alcoholic is no excuse).
Look, we all know you don't play with the Voltron doll when anybody's around and what you do in your own time is up to you, but we all know what the doll was designed for.
Thanks for reading my blog.
@scooba: Normally I enjoy these type of exchanges because there's some witty back-and-forth, some clever comebacks, even some insults (but not too naughty due to OzB's no personal attacks policy), but talking to you is incredibly dull, and excruciatingly boring. Just rap is bad, some dog whistles, and an unhealthy obsession with my "doll". And 3 shelves = shrine apparently.
So you haven't really addressed anything, too scared to share your own lifestyle choices, just repeating shit like a broken record.
This is what my hip hop brethren would call "bitch made".
Thanks for playing.
@rosebank: Yo yo yo, don’t be like that! Couple your own heart with this sh*t!
It sure is an incredibly dull and excruciating boring conversation, but I’m “here to try” as Bill Hicks would say.
No I didn’t say all rap was bad, just some of the rappers saying “ni**er” on their albums in 2024. Again, what you do with your Voltron doll in your own time is up to you.
“Dog whistles”? Hmmm, can you elaborate??
That shrine goes all the way up to the ceiling homie!
In this case, sharing is NOT caring and telling people about your interest in dolls is not the greatest idea.
“Bitch made”
Bit of a sweeping statement there pal but again, I’m not the one playing with dolls.
No no no, thank you!
@scooba: I though we were done. Replying a day later is again "bitch made". You're just repeating the same shit. Go annoy someone else… Actually don't, I wouldn't want to put that on someone else.
"Ni**er" Hard "r" there buddy. Naughty naughty. If you listen to rap it's "ni***a".
Save my pic so you can jerk off to the "doll" you're so obsessed with. Then do everyone a favour and delete your account.
@rosebank: Well you keep replying me so aren't we still in the midst of a "discussion"?
Honestly mate, the pigeoned ebonic english doesn't mean sh1t in the real world and as far as repeating the same sh1t, you're also a victim of it.
Ah, so as it's the old trope of "if it ends in an A and not the hard R it's ok". You're funny homie lol.
Easy now, I already said I don't want to know what you do with the doll in your own time, you can spare us the gory details.
@scooba: Nothing wrong with "pidgeoned ebonic English". It's actually called AAVE, look it up. English is an evolving language, not everyone has to speak the Queen's English.
Perhaps learn about the history of the N word as well. If you think using the hard "r" is the same as what Black Americans use as a term of endearment, then I can't help you.
@rosebank: There's plenty wrong with it, like giving other people the impression that they're uneducated fools. Yes the english language evolves, but there's no need to butcher it in the process, especially if it's someone's "second" language, don't you think?
I've always loved the argument that it's a "term of endearment for African Americans to use on each other", such an awful and lame excuse to race to the bottom by incorporating a slur in your vocabulary. Maybe try watching the movie Crash from 2004 and see what happens when an African American uses that term on Terrence Howard's character towards the end of the film.
I hope this helps you understand using that slur in any form, results in most people that have any self respect, losing all respect in you which ultimately relegates you to the bottom of the pile.
@scooba: It's truly bizarre watching you tear people down on the internet over their taste of music, hobbies and interests. Absolutely shocking behavior
@youfnc: Tear down? No I just said it isn’t that great of an adult to listen rap, TS or play with dolls is all.
@scooba: Your insistence on "shoulds" is seriously concerning. If it's trolling, you have some maturing to do. If you're serious, please do some research into neurodivergence or trauma, because this is becoming a worrying and you're generally making this place less enjoyable.
Who, moi?
Why save for a house to live in in 30 years, when you can get the pleasures now?
Yes the hipsters have done tragic things to vinyl and anything with an Apple logo on it. Unfortunately these hipsters you're referring to who are whinging about saving are just doing it to fit in when realistically they're trust fund kidults that haven't worked a day in their lives but live in the crappy low income suburbs to "keep it realzz duude".
Anyway, back to the ridiculous prices of vinyl, a double LP of an album under $50 is quite reasonable, considering they want $60 for a single LP album.
Sandboxautomatic?
Damn, i missed this!
damn sad to miss this - good price, great record.
this was an important album to me in my formative years. classic
Missed it!
Good catch though
At least it was under $50👍🏻.
Picked up, very happy to add this to the stack
