On vinyl.

Some are too expensive, some sounded awful from the get go.

The Karp records.
That wonderful Lync record.
(A karp or Lync original is like 200 bucks or so. )

Those Venus beads records, both original LP and cd releases sound like crap.

Those are the first that come to mind

Earwig's Under My Skin I Am Laughing LP would be great. The band remastered it for a digital only release on their bandcamp a few years back, but couldn't stretch to a vinyl reissue to go alongside it. I've been relistening to my copy over the last few days for a youtube "thing" I'm planning, and it really is a fantastic album.

Elevate's Bronzee and The Architect would be really nice, too. The Flower Shop bandcamp just seems to be focused on Sophia and the other Proper-Sheppard post-God Machine stuff, which is a bit of a shame.

Those two I have on vinyl. The architect sounds spectacular.

I paid little money for NM copies of both just a few years ago...dunno if prices for those have skyrocketed.

Bronzee could make use of a good remastering, it's too trebly for my tastes

NoMeansNo's entire discography.

The Effigies' entire discography.

Didjits' entire discography. Especially Hornet Pinata.

Funny, was also going to say 'The Architect', but then remembered I had no issue finding a vinyl copy fairly recently for cheap. It is a crazily good record in my opinion; a real shame it didn't get the attention it deserved.

Mandarin's Fast>Future>Present is something I'd love to own on vinyl. Not sure it was ever available in the UK on vinyl. Another all time favourite record that nobody seems to be familiar with.

Neither of these records are on Spotify either, which is a nuisance.

Silkworm’s records on Matador.

U.S. Maple’s first two albums.

Scratch Acid’s records.

Given the state of the environment, none of them.

This.

OKAY, repress the first four Nina Nastasia LPs with deluxe essay liner notes, then shut down the factories, and that's it. What you have now is what you get until the climate crisis reverses course.

Is pressing records really that great a contributor to climate issues? Seriously question. I mean I know they use PVC and bad chemicals, it's plastic after all. Seems to me that there are better targets for climate activism than records. I've spent a lot of time at garbage dumps many times and never seen a single record.

Yeah, I only have The Architect on CD, and assumed it wasn't going to be an easy find. A cursory eBay search immediately turned up this one, for less than a tenner! Couple of copies of Bronzee out there too, for a smidge more.
