On Monday I bought the RSD release of Ike Reiko / You Baby. A record I have wanted since Soul Strut member Funky Minizu hipped me to it about a decade ago. Being that the original is a £600 record it was never likely that i'd end up with an original in my collection so I guess this bootleg is going to have to do. The sound quality is good but the jacket looks awful.
I rarely buy new releases (mainly because they're too expensive here in Brazil), but last night I ordered these two:
Meta Meta's 3rd album:
and this official reissue:
Yeah, buying new releases here in the states is too expensive also. Record stores want 30-40 dollars per album, that shit adds up if you want to support the artists work.
@RhythmGJ I'm on the 3 month renew plan. I started when they did the Main Source repress. Had to cop that with the bonus 7". It's cool because I've been able to get some things the I normally wouldn't pick up, but I've also been able to sub releases I didn't want for something else. (aka whenever they pick a "put a bird on it" hipster record)
You can swap them out. Like I swapped the Fugees "Score" repress for whatever KEXP daytime record they had one month. This month I ended up swapping it for the BADBADNOTGOOD LP "IV."

Define "record?" CD's OK?

previous to that was GangStarr - No More Mr Nice Guy

I believe it was the "Wax Time" pressing, however.

The last 2 records purchased before today were Thes/Day "Naufrago", and a test pressing of Trailer Limon's "Love Don't Pay the Bills"
then i found out it had been reissued and i see it all the time now going for a lot cheaper.
Last night-- Archie Shepp, "Bird Fire," Lester Young, "Blue Lester," and the Studio One "Money Maker" reissue.
