Back From Cinema Wasteland

Events, ,

…and recovering from an excellent show! Many thanks to all who stopped by to see the Turntabling table and check out the rare, hard-to-find, and just plain lustworthy titles we had for sale there. Great to see each and every one of you!

We’ll resume Turntabling orders here beginning on Friday (April 8, 2011) and there’s a killer selection of titles coming your way–first come, first serve. There will be a post coming later this week explaining the new approach to our sales online–it’s much closer to the experience you get at the conventions and special events in many ways. Stay tuned and thanks again for the great turnout in Ohio this weekend!

Back From HorrorHound Weekend 2011 Indianapolis

Events, Vinyl Finds, , , , ,

It was a crazy, fun-filled weekend at HorrorHound 2011 in Indianapolis. If you weren’t there you missed Dawn of the Dead’s Ken Foree, Sid “Captain Spaulding” Haig, Barbara Steele, and tons of other horror luminaries…and you also missed the Turntabling vinyl junkie heaven as pictured above. Many thanks to all who stopped by to chat, buy rarities on vinyl and trade war stories.

We had tons of great stuff flying off the table this time including rare Goblin, Keith Emerson soundtrack music, Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Basil Rathbone and Peter Lorre on vinyl, plus soundtracks from a wide range of films including The Wraith, The Shining, Young Frankenstein, Beetlejuice and too many others to name. Congrats one and all for your vinyl finds…plenty of great feedback from people saying they loved the selection. You are all awesome!

Next Turntabling prepares for Cinema Wasteland April 1-3 in Strongsville Ohio. Turntabling will have a ton of awesome rarities and fun stuff on vinyl and CD including more Goblin, Morricone, Vincent Price, Karloff, Riz Ortolani, Pino Donaggio and tons of others. Do NOT miss it.

Once we’re back from Cinema Wasteland, Turntabling will be offering vinyl and CDs here once again with a new approach and possibly a new look for the site (going back and forth on changing the presentation a bit, still working on that.) We had put things on a hold for a bit pending some decisions and logistics but after Wasteland we’re back in business with a whole new way of doing things that should make for a more efficient ordering experience all around. Stay tuned.

Vinyl Pressing Plants in the USA

album, Blogs, Media, , , ,

Press Vinyl has an impressive collection of vinyl pressing plants in the United States. A couple of the sites that have ceased operations have had their links removed (as far as we can tell) and there was a 404 Not Found in the list (a simple case of a link not working, the actual site is live).

If you’re looking for a pressing plant that does vinyl and want to comparison shop, Press Vinyl’s list is a definite good place to begin.

While we’re on the subject, you might also want to check out the rather awesome Secret Society of Lathe Trolls, who are the biggest vinyl junkies on the planet. That’s because this forum is all about creating your own vinyl rather than simply collecting other people’s work. Bravo!

Ghost In The Machine Cassette Tape Art

Blogs, Media, , , , ,

Anybody with a bit of artistic talent and some skills creating stencils can make an old scratched-up vinyl record into a work of art. But it takes a far steadier hand and considerable imagination to make a portrait out of CASSETTE TAPES.

Ghost In The Machine has a whole collection of portraits including this awesome reproduction of The Clash album artwork for London Calling. There are also some very well done portraits created using what appears to be Super-8 film. Nice work indeed. Have a look at the gallery of images at the Ghost In The Machine Flickr page.
