Turntabling is pleased to announce a new opportunity for bands pressing vinyl. We’re offering an exchange program that lets bands trade a small amount of merch for ad space on Turntabling, plus mentions in our Twitter and Facebook posts.

It’s a simple, straight trade–fifty dollars worth of band merch (albums and CDs) for a two-month 200 x 200 ad. You can run space for longer than two months where space is available (for an additional trade or a flat fee). Naturally, vinyl is preferred but CDs aren’t out of the question.

Obviously there’s one catch–if we’re not thrilled about the music, we can’t make the trade, but Turntabling has never been as much about genres as it is about a certain attitude, mood, or presentation.

We’re happy to accept similar offers from labels, so don’t hesitate to get in touch. Drop a line to orders (at) Turntabling (dot) net for more info.

Four Flies On Grey Velvet LP BACK IN STOCK

Four Flies on Grey Velvet soundtrack vinyl LP Morricone

BACK IN STOCK at Turntabling

Morricone really outdoes himself on this one. From the proggy jam on the opening titles, to the trippy, echo-laden sounds and creepy atmospheres later in the album, Four Flies On Grey Velvet is definitely a keeper of a record, no matter what you might think of the movie itself.

Some feel Four Flies on Grey Velvet is a weak entry by Argento, but the quirky characters and the fact that Morricone’s score threatens to become a character in the movie itself gives this one a special, left-of center place in the Turntabling 70s movie hall of fame. It’s become one of our favorites.

The movie is atmospheric, creepy, and has some really excellent, moody set pieces. We can’t say enough about Morricone’s music on this one–there’s a haunted quality about it that lends plenty to the film–in lesser hands, who knows?

The soundtrack is presented here in a beautiful gatefold sleeve and is pressed on glorious 180 gram vinyl. Buy the Four Flies On Grey Velvet OST vinyl LP for $29.00 plus shipping while supplies last. This is an imported, sealed vinyl album pressed in 2001 on Dagored.


Have a look at the trailer for Four Flies On Grey Velvet. We recommend watching this movie late at night in a darkened room. We tried it in the daytime, and it just doesn’t work the same way…

Bauhaus The Sky’s Gone Out Vinyl LP

For Sale, , , ,

bauhaus vinyl LP The Sky's Gone Out

Now selling on Turntabling: the 4 Men With Beards 180 gram vinyl reissue of the legendary Bauhaus LP, The Sky’s Gone Out. This is one hell of a record, and deserves to be heard in all its’ analog glory. For those who don’t remember, this is the album featuring the Bauhaus hyperactive cover of Eno’s Third Uncle plus Swing The Heartache and the lovely Silent Hedges.

A lot of people think of Bauhaus only long enough to snort, “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” but there was so much more to the band than that…especially when Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins take over and start pushing things into outer space. Before there was a Tones On Tail, there was this…and it’s an amazing listen these decades later.

This Bauhaus The Sky’s Gone Out vinyl LP is a brand new, shrinkwrapped album pressed on 180 gram vinyl. It’s on sale for $25 plus shipping. Overseas postage is $16.







WTF: Cher Take Me Home

WTF bad album covers Cher Take Me Home LP

Cher…one of the OG one-name celebs. Surely this proto-Madonna would know better than to let something as ridiculous as this be foisted off on an unsuspecting public? This album cover is giving me a mental picture of “Flight of the Valkyries” happening in a trailer park.

Can you hear the conversation about this one? Chances are poor Cher wasn’t even consulted about this one, they just dreamed it up in some art department and showed it to her later.

“Yeah, Sal, I’m telling you…Wagner is big, baby. Real big. I think we should get Cher into one of those kooky viking getups. Something where you can see, you know, her boobs and stuff. Guys like boobies, right? Don’t they?”

“Hell, I don’t know, she’ll go for it. You can’t SEE anything really, it just looks like she’s some kinda Mad Max escapeee that wants to get it on.”

And folks, Take Me Home by Cher is still available for sale over at Amazon.com. It’s such a priceless artifact of musical history that they’re flogging it for under FOUR BUCKS, brand new.  But you wanna know something really scary? Somebody at Amazon is selling a double album version of this (along with the Cher Prisoner album) for over$75.

I think they’re going to be waiting a LOOOONG TIME for that one to sell. Call me crazy.

“Sal, come ON, I know the album’s called ‘Take Me Home’. The idea is that there’s this contradiction, see? You get one look at that scary headgear of hers and you don’t WANNA take her home. You wanna turn her loose on those motorcycle punks that have been revvin’ up at 3AM.”
