You may have heard of these guys… seems this is an ATL for the last couple of years (oh how we miss 2018 pricing…).
CamelCamelCamel.
The most nostalgic thing about buying vinyl is the price
That baby has grown up and wanted $200k, he got $0.
Should've had a bigger noodle -_-
Greedy flog
He spent his whole life profiting off the picture and playing it up as the Nirvana baby for cash and cred, even has Nirvana tattooed across his chest… suddenly the world is woke and he claimed it's child porn which has scarred him for life and he deserves a huge payday. xD
Some people hey… lol
Some? I work in the city in Sydney its most people atm. Mentall illness is alive and well here
So many social media driven protected species. Someone turn their bloody internet off already.
@illogicalerror: If I had to live in sydney I would be slightly off kilter as well, regardless of social media (responding to a comment on social media, but whatever)
@dtc: Yeah mate, I did a 6 month contract there in Ultimo. My bag was already packed the last day of my contract so when I got home I could grab my stuff and leave that place for good. Nothing about it made it worth it to me, not even the money, and that was almost 20 years ago now. I can't imagine it's got any better since then.
Sounds like he's handled things wrong but it would kinda suck to not being given a scrap for being the cover art of one of the most iconic album covers in history.
At the time though, $200 to the parents for a pic of their baby wasn't bad for some quick easy cash lol.
He needs to unzip it again.
According to that article jv linked above, he was trying to get $2,250,000. $150k each from the 15 people and companies in the complaint.
His parents sold the photo for $200. Maybe he should have sued them instead.
Lead me to this article on the back story of the cover.
Fun fact - the wavy Nevermind logo was made by scanning a printout while moving it to distort the type. Things were hard back in the day :D
"Now you’d just go on a computer and use filters or whatever, and people say the wavy type is kinda cheesy. But back in the day it was groundbreaking damnit!"
As a graphic designer, quotes like that bring me an insane amount of joy.
they've been a thing (again) for probably 10-15 years at this point
people collect them like trading cards
Like pokimane cards?
Lot of money in that T.
pokimane
gift me a tier 3 sub?
@BrokeQueenslander Some sad sheet mf said he didn’t wanna live no more
Why, tho?
I can understand those LE or signed/numbered. But this particular vinyl is neither any of those. Anniversary edition worth shit for resale.
Own the music I guess, despite the fact that a a CD/MP3 will sound better
Mp3 won't sound better, it's a compressed format.
It's ok if some people aren't into music and sq, others are free to buy vinyl if they want. I agree that cd was the best media format though.
This is silly. MP3s are perfectly fine. Your speakers make 99% of the difference in sound quality.
@drodgers: As long as you think it sounds good is the main thing.
If you have shitty cheap speakers and everything else then yes, it doesn't matter.
I got no problem with MP3 for portable and other old mixes I got, it's fine and was awesome at the time.
Why let your system down by using 320kbps though, You may as well strive for cd quality, then you will know it's lossless and not worry about the source. Silly comment to be honest, and without any context. Let the adults use what quality equipment and sources they want to. I'm not even saying to go hi-res, so just calm down.
@G-rig: I'll assume by MP3 they just mean compressed music as there are other formats that do it better these days.
I do find it funny though when people spend all this money on vinyl then Bluetooth it to their speakers.
@bamzero: Yeah mate something like that. Mp3 has it's place and it was great in the late 90s but I re-ripped my cd collection again to FLAC. If you know you know.
Anyone is free to do what they want but clearly have no knowledge in the subject. It' would be the nerd gamer kids that run cans with mics saying you only need this or that, but ask their parents for 2k to drop on a GPU.
For people who really love music, it's nice to have physical object that represents the album and gives a feeling of connection to the artist. I often buy vinyl from the merch table at gigs I go to as a memento of seeing the band live. It's also a form of 'collectible' like any other - I want to own all the albums of my favourite artists in physical form just like some people collect pokemon cards as someone else mentioned.
First, the plural of vinyl is vinyl.
Second, the industry has been kept alive predominantly by underground bands and scenes since the 90's, because despite technological advancements, there's something pretty neat about placing a big ol' disc on a spinny wheel and partaking in the vibrations caused by the small bumps therein.
First, the plural of vinyl is vinyl.
Ha this again, it's probably the same 🤡 who wrote that last time. People should scroll past these posts and not troll when they have no interest or knowledge.
Some parts of the economy has more money than sense
Never bought anything in your life I take it?
Just the same as sheepseses, and fruitses, and cars's's. Plural of vinyl is vinyl.
Same can be said about books, why buy physical books when a Kindle can hold thousands of them..
Dave Grohl needs those royalty cheques these days…………
"Its the best, the best, the best, the best of youuuuuu"
Song was written for sports montages
Mine's already in the mail, ordered it the other day when it came down to this price.
Thanks OP!
Gotta support these guys otherwise they might not make it
Oh well, whatever…
Amazon is cooked. They won't even deliver a vinyl to my address now. Sub not worth it anymore
Yeah it's not what it was back in the day.
just move
Need to support the Cobain Hawk baby.
lol, nirvana & proskater catalogues, revenue stream royalty
True nostalgia is this on cassette tape.
Nah it’s Teen Spirit on Cassingle
Just had to look up these guys. They sound like a frogstomp-era Silverchair cover band.
Marcie Playground imitators
Cheaper than an original
As a buddhist, I've been looking for this
Looks to be over. Showing from $58.56 for me
To date my best OP shop find … but sadly trailing the popularity of Kamahl
Legendary album
