I know two guys:

- an old friend from high school, Mike Wade; his dad started buying LPs in the early 1960s, and started buying two of each in the mid 1960s. His warehouse (he had a company called WadeCo that we all called Wacko) had a climate controlled room that had original unplayed copies of every record from the 60s-70s you could imagine. All the Beatles, Stones and the rare shit too.

- a guy in MA, a doctor; he did the same with comic books starting IN THE 1950s. His families house was destroyed by a hurricane in the 90s. The only thing his parents saved were the comics. He went to Harvard med and paid for a year of med school by selling ONE comic.

Was comic a euphemism for anus?

The Beatles Catalogue to Get Mono Reissue | Billboard

whatever about the latest cashgrab but it's interesting to see that they're doing away with any and all digitalness.

The Beatles’ mono albums have been newly mastered for vinyl from quarter-inch master tapes at Abbey Road Studios by Grammy-winning engineer Sean Magee and Grammy-winning mastering supervisor Steve Berkowitz. While The Beatles In Mono CD boxed set released in 2009 was created from digital re-masters, for this new vinyl project, Magee and Berkowitz cut the records without using any digital technology. Instead, they employed the same procedures used in the 1960s, guided by the original albums and by detailed transfer notes made by the original cutting engineers.

Ha.
The only other person I know that uses 'stink eye' is a Harvard dude I know.
Forever meting it out to people - "I had to give her the old stink eye"

We had a great hurricane in 92 on the Cape. Hurricane Bob.
Everyone lost power, days of grilling the contents of people's freezers.
I reckon we are due a doozy this year.

You're starting to sound like someone that jumped off their roofs into the snowbanks in '78.

Jack White breaks US vinyl sales record with Lazaretto - Uncut.co.uk

Jack White breaks US vinyl sales record with Lazaretto

Jack White has broken the US first week vinyl sales record with his new album Lazaretto.

The 'Ultra' LP vinyl version of his second solo album has scored the biggest week of total sales since Soundscan began tracking sales data in 1991, reports Consequence of Sound. The vinyl version of the record has sold 40,000 copies since its release last week.

The 180 gram release features two vinyl-only hidden tracks, situated under the labels on the record, with one playing at 78 rpm and one at 45 rpm, making the release a three-speed album. The mix of the album is also different from the digital and CD release and has a different running order. In the dead wax of Side A is a hand-etched hologram of an angel by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science. "This is a really beautiful component to the Ultra LP," previously commented White.

Jack White will play Leeds First Direct Arena on November 17, Glasgow SSE Hydro on November 18 and London O2 Arena on November 19. The shows will follow White's sold-out gig at London's Eventim Apollo on July 5 and his performance later this month at Glastonbury.

Jack White plays:

London Eventim Apollo (July 5)
Leeds First Direct Arena (November 17)
Glasgow SSE Hydro (18)
London O2 Arena (19)

"the biggest week of total sales since Soundscan began tracking sales data in 1991"

Probably not that impressive...

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

I was thinking 40,000 was not that many,surely the likes of Zeppelin,AC/DC,Guns & Roses,U2 and loads more would have had way way more than that(and probably just in the first day)
