I became a reddit "elf" a little bit ago in order to suggest another exchange for r/vinyl. Unfortunately, the reality is - there are a lot f fsubs who want to do a gift exchange, many of which have never had one to begin with.

Sure, a little disappointing, but still fair is fair. However I can't see why we wouldn't be able to organize something ourselves. So basically I am hoping to gauge interest and willing of people to help out and get this thing live!

Edit 1 - So looks like there is definitely interest in doing this. So far there's about 18 participants - a nice even number :) I don't know if people think thats too small, but I'd definitely be willing to coordinate the exchange with 16. I think we will hold off till tomorrow to see numbers, but I'll most likely setup a Sign Up form soon and pass it around...More to come!

And thanks everyone this is going to be awesome!

Edit 2 - between this and my post on /r/randomactsofvinyl we have at least 30 participants!! Which means this is happening - Whoop, whoop!

So far this is what we have for the basic form and process.

There will be three pricing tiers:

• Bargain Bin - $1-10

• Brick & Mortar - $15-$25

• Collectors Edition - $30-$50

There will also be two options concerning what you get:

• I am feeling lucky' (random vinyl); or

• Genre (you choose what style of music you get).

You will also enter name, email and shipping address (to only be seen by those running the exchange and the person you are doing the exchange w).

There will be a comment box for any thing you'd like. I am thinking you can link to discogs want list or to strongly suggest you don't want Coldplay.

Problems:

• What if I pick the 'lucky' option but no one else does? We will reach out to find what genres you like and match you accordingly.

• But cranky my jolly, cunt of a mate, I live all the way in the future.... New Zealnd. What about shipping? *

  This one is a bit tricky so I am still thinking about it, but suggestions are welcomed!!

• as you can tell I have no idea what New Zealanders talk like :/

Edit 3 - Ok this is going to be the last edit. First & Foremost - Thank you everyone!!! I was set to do this at 16 people, now it looks like we are almost at 100 (we are hovering around 75 redditors as of now)!

My wife (u/sohalian) and I worked on the sign up form last night and today based on feedback from all of you - so seriously thank you!

I will be posting a new thread soon detailing all things Vinyl Exchange, along with the Signup form. I am hoping the form won't need to be edited, but please leave feedback.

Anyways thank you one last time for the great turnout. Lets make this Vinyl Exchange work so we can continue doing this!

See you all on the new thread!!

Bandcamp won't let us charge $0, so the price is $1 or more plus $4 shipping. This is an especially sweet deal for people outside the USA.

Here is the record: http://remembertheradio.bandcamp.com/album/sharper-moon-rabbit

I have six boxes of records, pre-packed. Looking to mail to people just getting their collections started and want a boost. 5-6 records per box. Random stuff (classic rock, jazz kinda things). PM me your address and I'll pick six and send them out. Free.
Details - I have a couple bars/restaurants - one featuring music/vinyl - so I get people giving me boxes of records quite often. Lotsa good stuff, but I have so many records, that I would rather share them than let them sit. I've done this a few times in the past on /r/vinyl - so I figured I'd try here this time.
Update: All boxes are claimed. Anyone who messaged me their info to this point -- I'll get one to you eventually - just have to wait on more shipping boxes.
Final Update: All the boxes are out. 18 total - hope you enjoy the music. Apologies if you didn't get records - but there will always be a next time. Keep the wheels of steel turning...

Send me your lists. If I see something I'm interested in, I'll bake you some delicious cookies. If you are not satisfied with the cookies. I'll send the record back.

Hi guys,

I'm a bit new to this subreddit, forgive me if this is breaking the rules, but I'm currently working on crowdfunding my first-ever vinyl release, クリスタル BEPIS (alternate mix) on Qrates. It's been a goal of mine for a long time to get an album pressed on vinyl, which is why I'm promoting it here. This album is a vaporwave/vaportrap record, blending light oceanic synths and drums to create a chilled-out vibe. You can listen to it on the page itself, here:

Here's the link to the Qrates crowdfunding page!

If you're unfamiliar with how Qrates works - essentially, if this project gets enough orders within a certain time - at least 200 total - then it will be pressed! Give it a listen and let me know what you think! I would be incredibly grateful for your support! Thank you :)

-Dead Disk Drive/Corrupted Data Corp

Edit: We reached the 10 free copies. If you'd still like one, just go to remembertheradio.com, scroll to the bottom, find the PayPal button and send us $4 for shipping and we'll send you a beautiful record. That's still pretty much free.

We are remember the radio. I will send a copy of our colored 12” debut LP to the first ten human beings who PM me with their shipping info. In exchange, you promise that you have a working record player, you will listen to the LP beginning to end at least two times, and you will play it real loud.

If you’re feeling generous, please tell a friend about our band, maybe throw us a like on Facebook. Our 2nd LP is being mastered right now to be released in approximately 8 weeks. I promise to give away free copies of every future release, so stay tuned and together we will sail this ship to glory.

We’ve done several of these giveaways and people always get left out, so we’re going to try something different this time. If you’re one of the first 10 I will respond to your PM with a USPS tracking number. I’ll update this post once we get to 10. After that, if you still want a free LP, please go to our website at remembertheradio.com, scroll to the bottom of the page and find the PayPal donate button. Send me $4 to cover postage and my gas for driving to the post office (I live in the country and the post office is 10 miles away) and you’ll still get a “free” record. If you'd like to buy a record they are available through our bandcamp for cheap.

If you live in the Denver area and you would like to party with us, please come see us play this Saturday 8/31 at Lost Lake Lounge on East Colfax.

Thank you,

Jon + RTR

EDIT2: They've all been shipped (as a huge line formed behind me at the campus post office...)! If you sent me an address, then your record is currently with the USPS and is being sent to your house/apartment :) Expect to receive a message from me soon about shipping: All were between 3 and 6 dollars.

EDIT: Phew. I've packed the ones who sent me addresses to be sent out tomorrow. I'll send you a message if I still need your address. After I send them out, I'll send out the amounts and my email so you can reimburse me.

Ok, here's the deal. Jerry's records gives away a ton of records every so often. I got two boxes a few weeks back. You can have whatever's left, otherwise I'll just toss it. If you're in Pittsburgh, PA or near Albany, NY, send me a message and we'll arrange a place to meet where you can get them. Otherwise, I'll send it to you in a standard record mailer (I can get them for 75 cents a piece near Jerry's), but I don't know how much shipping (via media mail) will cost me. Being a poor college student, I'd hope that you want the record enough to cover shipping costs, but if you really want something and can't afford it... I (or another kind soul here) might be able to help you out.

First come first serve, unless you have a damn good reason otherwise.

In the past, I've sent out records I've picked up to people interested in some new music. I'm picking through my records today and setting aside some I'd like to share. Some 45s, a bunch of LPs. PM me your address and I will send you some free stuff. No guarantees, but the records are all very playable. Hey, you never know what you might get. George Harrison? The Beach Boys? Lyrics Born? Bruce Springsteen? Hall and Oates 45? It's free, so why not.

Edit: I will do my best to get these out to you all in the next few days. I have gotten all the replies I am capable of filling (ran out of boxes). Enjoy the music.

Edit: I orders more boxes as my "throw the old LP boxes in the panel box" closet mysteriously was cleaned out. But I promise, the records are coming. Just a slight delay. Thank you for understanding.

Edit: Boxes arrived super fast. Putting them all together and trying to get them out pronto. There were a lot of responses and I had to cut them off at some point. Please don't feel slighted if you don't get a box. Wishing you all a fine holiday season. And cheers to new music...

I'm super new here, and picked up a lot of sealed records from an estate sale.

The list can be found here. Let me know what you would like and just pay for shipping. Media mail to the US only.

There's some rock, classical, pop, soundtracks, and Christmas albums.

Enjoy!

EDIT: That which is green on the list has been reserved.

I'm tired of keeping these in the corner of my room, so all I'm asking is $5 for shipping. I have about 30 records but only 10 mailers, so if more than 10 people want them it'll take a few extra days to order some more mailers.

I'm in Cambridge MA and Nashua NH regularly so if anyone lives around there I could get it to you in person for free.

Here's the album, it's not as generic as "indie rock" sounds (at least I think so) - https://aphids.bandcamp.com/album/aphids

Edit: either PM me for PayPal info or you can pay via Bandcamp, whichever you prefer!

Edit2: all 10 mailers have been claimed, but if anyone still wants one you can order on Bandcamp, it'll just take a few extra days

So... When will this subreddit change it's name to r/vinylrequest?

A few weeks ago he sent me a package to help me kickstart my collection. After a few weeks of waiting (and some procrastinating) I made my way down and picked it up.

Everything sounds great and the extras are all amazing. I LOVE it.

Thanks again /u/Foofsies (if you read this) All the Karma and goodwill to you.

Here's a quick album of my trip and what was included: http://imgur.com/a/PQDw5?gallery

Edit: Sorry for the photo quality. They were taken with a potato.

We have 2 LPs recently re-pressed on standard weight black vinyl. Both were released in 2013. Please take a look at them, decide which one you'd like, then PM us and let us know which one you want and include your shipping information. We'll respond with a tracking number and a kind word. We'll give away about 5 albums tonight, maybe a couple more than that. We've given away many records on reddit and we can be trusted.

The records are here: https://remembertheradio.bandcamp.com/

These are alt-rock records that we made ourselves. The third one is finished and on a UPS truck right now and we'll be back in just a few days to give away some copies of that one too.

EDIT: USA addresses only, please. We are poor.

Edit 2: We have reached tonight's goal, but feel free to continue messaging us and check out the music. We can't thank you enough for listening to records and for blindly investing in this project. Please take a few minutes to appreciate the moon tonight.

Go to www.dominorecordco.com/coupon and enter the code below. I don't need it due to allready having it :)

My friend lost his house to a fire this week, along with ALL of his (and his family's) possessions. Luckily nobody was hurt. My friend was an avid vinyl listener, and is incredibly bummed that his entire collection is now gone. If anybody reading this has some records they were thinking about getting rid of or would just like to donate some to help out, it would mean so much. I know it won't do much in terms of helping the family get back on their feet, however it would definitely cheer up my friend who lost everything.

Not sure what to expect from this post, but if anyone is seriously willing to help out just message me and we can figure something out.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Thanks so much to redditor gluey_feathers for sending some records, you are awesome! If anybody else is still willing to help, let me know!

Pick a genre or an artist you like the most, post it here, and if I think I have something that you'll like a lot and I don't want, I'll send it to you for free!

I'll make decisions tonight around midnight EST.

EDIT: I have made my decisions! Thanks for everyone who posted and please do this yourself some time! Spread some vinyl love!

What a freaking good idea! I love this so much and really look forward to maybe getting to know some fellow music lovers❤️. It is Wednesday my dudes!

I am trying to get rid of [these records] (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnCiq8OQWwzXdC1XQVBLMmEwbzEtd3M0aVpKTnhibHc&usp=sharing) desperately. I have a honeymoon to go on and am moving across the country, need to free up space and maybe earn a bit of extra spending money. Shipping is $5 for as much as I can get into a media mail shipping box. Thanks for looking!

Hi Everyone!

A month or so ago, I posted in /r/vinyl & /r/randomactsofvinyl to see if anyone would be interested in doing a vinyl exchange w me. The first response reads:

I'd be down to participate, but as far as planning and what not I don't have enough free time to dedicate towards that.....

hah well that redditor did in fact participate (and even helped a bit too with the shipping guides), but their reply was singular :D

In fact a lot of people were super excited about this, and the original list I gathered was just shy of 100. Realizing we had some momentum we decided to create a sub that could be dedicated to facilitating a variety of exchanges.

So we did just that, held a sign up limited to the first 38 people (for quality control) and nicknamed our inaugural exchange - 'The Lucky 38'.

Yesterday, myself and /m/crashtard were able to confirm 100% of records were exchanged! In the immortal words of Rhianna - "Boom!"

Just to give a little taste of some of the records exchanged:

• Kraftwerk - Computer World

• Thievery Corporation - Saudade

• Deftones - KOI NO YOKAN

• ††† (Crosses) - Self titled (Charcoal Splatter)

• Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon: The End Of Day

• Deltron 3030 - Self titled (Split Colour. Blue & Purple / Red & Pink)

• Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antarctica

• Thee Oh Sees - Help

• Daft Punk - Robot Rock 12" single

• Big Star - #1 Record

• Madvillain - Madvillainy

• James Bond - 10th Anniversary Album Superpak

• Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

• Aphex Twin. - …..I care because you do

• The National - High Violet

Anyways I just wanted to say thank you to those who helped out and participated. This has been a lot of fun!

And now on to the next one - /m/je30001 & /m/Bored_Boring's THE 70'S BROWN BAG SPECIAL!! So come join us over at /r/thevinylexchange and get in on this gifting goodness!

Thanks again!

I'm also releasing some vinyl for quite a big band in May so stay tuned for that! I used to run a vinyl only label but as you are probably all aware... the costs are crazy in the UK!

jed

Fantastic album, but I already have it on my computer! Here's the instructions as written on this little slip of paper:

1. visit www.beggarsgroupusa.com/promo

2. enter the following UPC code: 634904045012

3. enter the unique code listed below

I hope whoever gets it loves it!

Have a few albums that I'll glady ship to someone, just pay the cost of shipping. $6. (I kind of need to reclaim some crate space.)

They'll be at least three in there.

Anyone interested feel free to PM.

EDIT: Still have quite a few left. Mostly oldies, but free is free.

First come, etc., kids! Enjoy!
