Me and my boy were talking about the various tags from local shops... and that got me thinking.The worst I think have got to be Princeton Record Exchange... So hard to take off that most folks just leave them on, then when I get in there with my lighter fluid and razor blade there's all this residue, it never really looks right. I've had problems with Amoeba & Rasputins tags but if you take em off while they're still fresh it's ok... amoeba tags turn to hardened rock after a few months though... add on

Are you serious?
If you are not serious I have seen this in real life and it's probably the saddest shit ever
No, I'm not serious but I do leave them on except for when they're on the LP label itself.
Keep Rey's name and style outcha mouf.
The real question is, does he tape paypal invoices to the sleeve?
Most likely. It would be decidedly "middle-class" to do otherwise.
I think Rey is representing himself as 'middle class' these days - obsession with the amount paid for an item is strictly on a 'you sound poor' level.
ADVANCED D&D!
Being poor myself, I can say that this equation looks to hold water.
I've got a price tag on a record I bought at Princeton Record Exchange in 1987. It will never EVER come off, I don't think dynamite could get that shit off of there.
but price tags on the dead (& not so dead) wax of 7" 45s
is
i have gummy residue on the last 30 seconds of a few singles,
not to mention the ones i scarred trying to remove them tags
someone must have switched a few sleeves & made the owner
sticker crazy
do they put the tags on 12" dead wax too (me thinks they do)
shingaling & the hook up, whats up with this ??
bwahahahhahaa!!!!
There's no arguing with that. Thank god we've found a place where we (minus the PB fans) are accepted as equals, and not social outcasts.
At least give it a go!
If you were really poor, you would've just smashed out your car window instead of calling a locksmith.
& then subsequently driven around with a garbage bag utility-taped over that window...

Down Home Music in El Cerrito puts price stickers on the grooves of 45s, forget the deadwax. Plus all their 45s are VG- or worse and priced too high. Worst look ever. The price tags at Logos in Santa Cruz can be a major pain in the ass to get off too.
I was afraid the wild look of desperation that characterizes people of my socio-economic status might have given people the impression that I was stealing the car. Besides, I paid the locksmith with a hot credit card.
Their ads in local papers mention that they buy 'anything'. They will buy Milli Vanilli shit for $0.15 just for the cd case and tray.
The stock accurately reflects the shittiness of this joint.
in fact, any store that actually puts a price tag or sticker on the sleeve itself (or especially the label) gets the
co-sign
the unhappiest family of record (& junk) dealers ever !
(although the mom did turn me on to a slamming thai restaurant around the corner, in a backhanded way)
An alternative to this is to remove the tag and replace it on the inside of the cover. You might also place it on the outer sleeve you're bagging the record in.
yeah. i mean, for having the reputation of being 'one of the best record stores on the east coast' .. you'd think they would find an alternative sticker method so that the sleeves of every used record they sell doesn't get ruined.
they sometimes even slapped tags on both sides of the label (2 tags per side)
It's been a loooooooooong time since they lived up to that reputation.
Showoff.
Yeah. Maybe I should show off the $860 Sprint phone bill I got in the mail today.
