Dua Lipa - Dua Lipa View credits, reviews, tracks and shop for the 2017 Vinyl release of "Dua Lipa" on Discogs.

If it turns out to be the black vinyl 1st Euro press, it's worth... £15. www.discogs.com/release/1065...

It is original with that NME hype sticker.....but that price I believe is for a pink variant.......Cogs is broken for this stuff. I bet the listings for this LP are absolutely riddled with new copies being sold as originals.

@webuyrecords.bsky.social Dua Lipa album, sealed, and in a locked glass case in my local Cancer Research shop. Zoom in and you’ll note an actual Discogs price history attached to it. Textbook ‘the game’s gone’ stuff!

I’m all for hanging oddities on your Christmas Tree that mean something to you, something unusual

But, £900 for a set of Elton John Glass Ornaments…..

Guess Reg needs the cash

To your dear letter writer who shipped the wrong record around the world: I too have done this. Mixed up orders to Japan and Australia (from the US). Those customers were wonderful though and shipped each other the correct record. I did pay their postage of course.

Anyone need more Taylor Variants?

Gawd bless her - Christmas Holiday Vinyl

Good luck to her, but this rinsing the fans

@webuyrecords.bsky.social Loving the pod! On the subject of £30 12'' singles, I note Queen are selling a £30 copy of BoRap on blue vinyl via their store. They must need the money, poor loves..

@webuyrecords.bsky.social @pafster #vinylcommunity
I love @bandcamp.com and direct support of artists. But this is untenable.
Bandcamp:£40+Tip 4+25% VAT 14,75+ Shipping 15
Import tariff £12 + “Expedition charge” 🙄 19 + VAT 4
Hey presto:GBP 108 for a double and a single LP🤷‍♂️😡

Fuck #Brexit

Thank you Stephan 🙏

Wowsers

One for @justplayed.bsky.social to cast his gaze over..........still...you can go to Amazon UK and import the Blue copy back to Europe....🤦‍♂️

Yes, many many many...times...it's one side...often a nasty surprise when valuing and you flip over a shiny, beautiful record..only to be faced with a horror show.

I remember telling the story of the guy with a completely trashed collection....all gassed to fuck. I thought he was going to cry when I told him they were worthless. Some amazing titles too 🤦‍♂️

I'll have to check back, but I'm pretty sure we covered this..........but might be worth revisiting if HMV are punting those sleeves.

We do enjoy a lovely lustre ........ we're recording today...and we really are going for a positive episode. Thank you for all your good news emails.....last call for any pressing matters we need to discuss.

It's the new normal. Everyone's at it. Madonna and Warner.....Depeche and Sony. Exclusives direct to consumer, with the odd bone thrown to retail.

@webuyrecords.bsky.social I see Private Eye has dared to criticise the Taylor Machine

Hahaha....that amazing

Anyone else ever found their own previously owned records for sale.....years later.....

Welcome to Vinyl Santa 2025 For those that are new to this, the idea is for record heads to send each other a package of records to be opened on Christmas Eve. Similar to a regular secret Santa, we ask that participants maintain their anonymity. Participants will be given a recipient to send records to. They can then check out their VS’s timeline to get an idea of what they might be into. We ask that folks send £10/$12 dollars worth of records.

Guidelines for records: Ideally from a thrift/charity shop but dollar bin or pulling from own collection is acceptable. Please do not use third parties to fulfil your VS as this has caused delays and upsets in the past. A good VS would be a few records (3 to 5) in good condition. Sending a tat record within a bundle is fine; sending all tat is not. And the records do not have to be Christmas records! This is Vinyl Santa, not CD Santa. Bulking packages so that they're primarily CDs, magazines, DVDs etc is not approved and may result in suspension from future VS's.

The instructions… 1. If you wish to participate please drop us a DM with your name and address by Sunday November 9th. If in the UK, you'll need to verify your account to access DMs if you haven't done so already, or use a VPN. 2. There’ll be 2 draw pools: UK and USA. We’ll do Ireland too if there's sufficient interest. 3. We'll aim to let you know who your recipient is w/c Nov 10th. 4. We recommend you stalk your recipient’s timeline for clues as to their musical tastes. As many people are new on here this is a good opportunity to put up some posts to give your sender a few clues.

5. Please mail out in good time and be sure to mark your parcel #VinylSanta. Your recipient will likely receive many record-shaped parcels and we wouldn't want any opened early in error! 6. The tradition is to open parcels from 7pm GMT onwards on Xmas Eve and share photos on BlueSky of what you’ve received. This is important - if you're unavailable then by all means share a photo earlier but please do not leave it until after Christmas. 7. Please don’t participate if you’re not going to make good on your commitment and send a thoughtful and considered parcel.

🔔🔔🔔 #VinylSanta applications for 2025 are now live. Please see rules, regulations and directions below. 🎅

Some great stuff on Bandwagonesque!

Ep 71. We go format crazy with @avavsystems.bsky.social. Taylor Swift has done some variants. Madonna has annoyed us, again, counterfeit scams... a gloomy post box...plus news, quiz and all your usual crate digging larks.
