Buying second hand vinyl is more fun than reissues.
No reissues for this 1991 Chris Whitley debut, a Spanish promo disc. As good as new…

Upgraded my Blue Monday to an original UK one with die cut cover. Then trying to figure out what pressing I got, from the inscription “FOUNDA TA1PE. WHERE'S MURDER?”.

The SoundBurger didn’t last long, replaced it with a decent Pro-Ject turntable instead.

Bought a Sound Burger (54% off atm at the Good Guys)
My first vinyl purchase was an 1983 Australian 12” print of Blue Monday. Not quite the same as the original UK one (with the cut-outs) I left behind 19 years ago. But still pretty nice. Originally $5.
