Where’s The Turntabling Collection?

For Sale, Turntabling Records, , , ,

Some have wondered where The Turntabling Collection has been hiding. Since getting back from Cinema Wasteland, the collection has been offline while we worked on a few shows and events; DJing at OhNo! Doom Gallery, creating videos and writing music all has taken a bit of time.

But I’m happy to announce the impending return of vinyl sales to Turntabling–there are some things in the works that should expand the collection and how much is for sale here at any given time.

Selling music here is a fundraising activity for Turntabling–if you’ve ever bought a vinyl record or CD from us, you’ve directly supported the site, and for that we thank you. Over the last three years many, many people have helped us thrive and grow with their purchases and we would NOT be here without you. Stay tuned…there are some important developments in the works in our vinyl and CD department.

Back From Flashback Weekend

Events, Turntabling Records, , , , , ,

Big thanks to all who came out to the Turntabling Table this weekend and chatted, bought rare and unusual vinyl, and talked about all things record-related. Turntabling is plotting more convention appearances even as I write this. Everyone who came to the table really made the weekend special–THANK YOU for your support.

I wanted to take a moment to remind people that I am currently in search of more record collections to purchase. Any kind of bulk vinyl for sale is potentially of interest as I have a continuous need for more titles–especially 80s goth/industrial, soundtracks, new wave, odd/bizarre and otherwise unclassifiable records. Feel free to get in touch about any vinyl you might be interested in selling: jwallace@turntabling (dot) net.

Thanks again for your continued support!

Electronic Sadism: A Chicago Compilation

For Sale, Media, Turntabling Records, , , , , , , , ,

Turntabling Records is at it again–this time with a brain-shreddingly unusual compilation of Chicago electronic music projects by Paisley Babylon, Savior Noise, Thelema USA, Satan’s Tea Boy and other acts featured on Electronic Sadism: A Chicago Compilation.

That link takes you to the 20-track iTunes download version of the album, but there is also a limited edition 12-song sampler available for sale on compact disc. The CD version is limited to a run of 500 and is completely hand-assembled. No more than 500 will be made and sold.

The 12 tracks available on the CD sampler are a strange mixture of Coil, Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and Skinny Puppy textures. There are vintage-era industrial and ambient sounds combined with soundtrack-esque interludes, mellow meanderings, and nearly hallucinatory side-trips. But the ghost of the Marquis de Sade is always lurking nearby to bring you back to attention with a sonic blast of fury and chaos.

The packaging for this CD special edition is deceptively LP-sized, right down to a poly outer sleeve.  But make no mistake, this is a compact disc full of electronics, evil and doubt (as Brian Eno would say). Going from wildly chaotic to strangely danceable, Electronic Sadism is a great birthday gift for the old-school industrial music fan in your life. Anybody who wishes for the good old days of Throbbing Gristle and Test Department should have a listen to this.

Have a free listen to the download-only track “Speaker Damage Guaranteed” from the digital version of Electronic Sadism or listen to the final track on the limited-edition Electronic Sadism CD by Thelema USA, “Robes Off”

Off to HorrorHound Weekend

Events, Turntabling Records, vinyl road rage, ,

Turntabling is off early to HorrorHound Weekend in Indianapolis to search for record stores and take in the wicked delights of Indianapolis. We’ll be running the Turntabling booth right next to the Kitley’s Krypt bunch so do stop by to say hello.

This year features the largest selection of rare and unusual vinyl ever at our table–don’t miss the last of the Dagored vinyl, plus some exceedingly rare items featuring Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Roddy McDowall–all on vinyl. Got a copy of the soundtrack for Forbidden Photos of A Woman Under Suspicion on vinyl? We have ONE COPY for sale at the show. Ditto for plenty of other delicious goodies by Goblin, Morricone, Piero Umiliani, and tons of others.

Horrorhound and the upcoming Cinema Wasteland in Ohio are two of the main reasons we haven’t been selling much on the site as of late (in addition to a planned jump to a new format for the vinyl sales)…if you miss either one of these shows, you will miss a LOT of hard-to-find vinyl titles. Turntabling scours the earth to get them so you don’t have to.

See you at the show and if you have any record store recommendations for Indianapolis, we’d love to know about them.

Turntabling will be posting photos and updates from the Horrorhound Weekend on Facebook.
