Vinyl release, I don't know of any to be honest since I've never had a strong interest in collecting vinyl. However cassette tape? Quite a lot haha, especially when you go back 10 years and bands where still releasing a lot of material on cassette.

[Guest]

Cassette tape, yes! And yes, I know there was a hell a lot of it 10 years back. But just mention everything. Anyway, my interest in this thread however is to see if any of the Jrock bands I listen to a lot have released anything on vinyl or tape.

DEAD END - SHAMBARA (vinyl)

...and maybe their other old albums? I'm only sure about this one.

Oh gawd - I know a couple of us can write up some massive lists when it comes to cassette tapes. I have about 70+ myself but I know Rarez Train and Inartisic have quite a large collection as well. However most are probably from bands no1curs about

I sold all my old vk demo tapes years ago, lol.

Nookicky - Water Sinker (vinyl)

[LIDL 692]

2 tapes that i own, Luna Sea - period and X-Japan best ~fans selection~.

Actually in some part of the world, casette tape are still produced though.

I still remember seeing latest Galneryus album in tape format side to side with the CD format in one record store's new release cabinet in Bali, Indonesia.

Nicenicenice! Merry has more vinyl releases?

[*littlelamb 78]

No, it's the only one. And I don't think they made many copies of that either. Actually I'd really like to know how many...

They have a lot of LP-sized releases though, but that's just the packaging. Worth every penny though, since they are lovely pieces of eroguro art.

[Guest]

Fuck yeah! I'd kill to get my hands on one of those.

They do? Do you have any pictures of what they look like? And are they still easy to get?

I don't own any personally (I do not own a record player, and I've considered buying tapes, but I have no idea how to rip them to my computer), but I KNOW of a few:

The Stalin - everything on vinyl

Anthem - I think everything prior to Heavy Metal Anthem is on both tape AND vinyl

Boris - Duh

Seikima II - a bunch of stuff for sure, but I don't know specific releases, sorry

Vivisick - Punks Were Made Before Sounds is a famous Japanese indie punk vinyl; most underground lo-fi DIY punk and hardcore bands (both old and new) have at least one vinyl release, to spare you a gigantic list of them.

B'z - First self-titled on vinyl

Ripping vinyl and/or tape are quite easy, and there's a billion site online which would help you doing that.

But, in the case of vinyl, just buy a record player and enjoy first of all, the nice sound and second of, the package:

But of course, not everything hold that high standard. But those sure are worth the money I hat to pay for them (except for the Absu since it was sold out before I got my hands on a copy). Shiet's good!

[Guest]

double post.

But I'll post this too then:

And a little about the release itself:

This ultimate edition contains well over two hours of cult, 90's second wave black metal on 3 180 gram heavy vinyl LPs, strictly limited to a one time only pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies - 200 of which will be black vinyl. These killer slabs of wax come housed in 2 350 gram semi gloss gatefold jackets featuring the both of the original DSP covers, including the original black and white Anne Marit Brenden illustration as well as the second pressing cover photo featuring Shinichi with sword.

To retain the classic feel of the original 1993 release, these 2 gatefolds are designed in the spirit of the original CD layouts with attention to detail, even down to the typeface and original DSP logos, as well as well as exclusive band photos, classic interviews and new, extensive liner notes by Mirai.

3. The Seven Gates of Hell (Venom cover) (Vinyl Collectors LP)

(Note: The above mentioned versions of "Suicidogenic" and "The Zombie Terror" are completely different than the unreleased mix of Infidel art from the triple gatefold set).

Included in each gatefold are huge, luxurious 24" x 36" (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) posters of both the original album covers.

Both gatefolds come housed in an amazing, heavy gauge box with the original DSP cover illustration and garnished with an obi-strip. To the obi strip pristine during shipping, it will be housed inside the box.

Oh yes! Good thing is that it won't cost me more than $27 more than a new, simple CD. Lovely!

Some fake LP's (suppose you can find some, if you look):

What prices do decent record players usually run?

[manipulatedlife 0]

I have the UROBOROS lp, which is worth every shinny penny because of the BUGABOO a capella that's on there.

I would kill for some STALIN lp's.
