Picked up a few CDs today

Biggest collection I’ve ever bought. Roughly 15,000 CDs. Loaded and unloaded during an extreme heat warning, so I’m too tired to start looking through them. Less than 10 cents each even with $200 truck rental.

Get the vinyl barometer NOW!

So why do you need it? Let me talk. You wanna know why your records that have been delivered from China doesn't sound as good as the japanese ones? First of all you need to find out where you live, because depending on where you are on the globe, atmospheric pressure and gravitational acceleration (g) actually change. Because of this, records pressed in the US (closer to the equator) need to be played on a recalibrated turntable, since the Earth's gravitational field is different over there. With Europe, China, or, say, the Agartha, it's a different story: they're our brethren, so the gravity is identical. I recommend picking up a barometer to double-check - look up 'vinyl barometer' on Temu. It's literally just a couple of hundred thousand dollars, and your sound will be absolute perfection.

We've all been lied to. Yeezus tape is YELLOW.

No, not a Photoshop. It's a really -really rare russian edition of a 10/10 album. Someone in the factory messed up with the colours

My hot take: Beatles "1" is a better intro for people who never listened to Beatles than 1962-70 (Red and blue albums)

Well... Youre just getting into the band, you dont know any song but probably heard some melodies. Speaking on my own experience, i started listening to the gifted (by my friend.. he didnt know i had never listened to the Beatles) 1962-1970 2023 Remasters like year or two ago and i was yawning when i first listened to it. Sold it not long after. Then bought "1" - and thats where i got into the beatles, i loved every track. The point i wanna make, when you try to introduce something, you need to be extremely short n sweet, and if not, then itll be a boring experience. But if you liked "1" then you might go for red and blue, and then go for albums. Thats how it happened to me! As of now, i listened to every single beatles album and decent chunk of Paul music online now - i ordered every single past-1966 album of fab four, the 2009 remasters. Thats how recently i became a new beatle-maniac, lol! What do you think about my take?

I designed myself russian version of Blurryface. Do yall lake it?

pics 1-2 my design 3-4 official russian edition for comparison:)

notice that the red lines in the design were used to strike through the os and yes i made the red lines strike through the os for russian words. the original european edition (however russian official edition in further pics used that space to fill with minitext and surprisingly the design became better) had that gap in the bottom of backside and ... it looked very empty so what ive done is put some birds from one of the official arts of blurryface singles :)

I designed myself bootleg CDs. are they good enough and do they look real?

FAQ:

Why are they a-la Russian editions? I like collecting russian editions since i live there, theyre cheap and make me feel that that CD was made especially for me as a listener and it pretty much warming my heart. Hence i made these with russian minitext on backside, cd and booklet

Neither of these CDs were real, its not replica, but a bootleg (Original worlds cd was put for comparison in photos 3-5)

Attention to the detail: catalogue numbers.. such as 460502672606 for Worlds Live is a catalogue number between 2 releases in mid 2015 of Universal Music Russia

My friend lent me a helping hand in making these designs real, bug respect for bro ;)

The Worlds Live cover idea is really inspired by the one that was fastly done by a leaker to put it on youtube. The tracklist of the live album is a mix between 2 leaked worlds live edits: i merged the best songs out of them together. Aether (feat. Madeon) is a name for OSTTT.mp3 in leak file of porter music, just given it a proper titling :).

Yes, the back text of liner notes in photo 5 is accurate and hand-written.

Lemaitre Chapter One backside was inspired a little from the vinyl edition of chapter one (to make it look real) and the cd concept was taken from early EP cds like Singularity but i made the colour theme matching to the album. Didnt wanna have just a plain orange cd design like it was on original vinyl.

Lemaitre Chapter One booklet consists of artworks of supporting EPs to Chapter One.

All of liner notes and minitext is perfectly accurate.

Really hope seeing feedback on this :) not a designer at all
