Russian Flexis.

those kind of 'silvers' you can see the burned areas on, Andrew, maybe Dark means a factory written CD?

Dark · 11 Apr 2005, 10:27

You can see the burned areas? Damn it.

What about those CD-Rs that are black on both sides (some that are designed to look like vinyls), or orange/red on both sides? Can you see the burned areas on them, or are they branded?

Flexis?? dude, i mean, Sir dark, just make sure you only sell flexis bundled with free turntables...who's got a turntable nowadays anyway?

cheers,

mr blast is correct.

they are just plain unbranded cds - silver on both sides. which makes it very hard to tell which side is "up" on an unwritten one

however, you can get a spindle of 100 from dixons for about 20 quid or so.

Blah. Dude, some of us still have shedloads of vinyl, but not the time/inclination to copy it all onto digital media, nor the money/inclination to buy it all again on CD.

I am with you, it was difficult to part with my turntable, but a 2MBit connection and a couple of P2P clients helped me a lot in "transferring" my vinyl to mp3

. Of course its still cooler to have the actual vinyl boot (with the 'only 200 copies pressed with fresh blood' or whatever on it); they are just not very handy.... sorry, OT. so long.

11 Apr 2005, 16:55

Indeed; a lot of my vinyl I have transferred via P2P; but there's still a lot of stuff I haven't

Not just Sisters stuff either. I've been buying records almost as long as I could walk...

Well I do and I love it! Convenient it ain't but with the right piece of vinyl, it reaches the parts that CD players just can't reach.

And it wouldn't be seen dead playing a flexi...

I've got two lovely Technics 1200s.

Down with digital!

Mine's an elderly Rega Planar 2. It's about the same age as the Sisters and looks like it'll last a good bit longer...

James Blast · 11 Apr 2005, 23:52

I've got some Toshiba bit of pi$h I bought in the late 70s (now consigned to the attic) needs must

12 Apr 2005, 00:18

i have a pair of cheapo 1210 copies that are just about fit for the scrap heap now.

got them about 10 years ago as "my first decks" with the intention of getting a pair of real 1210s. never got around to it

they've got nice "plus 8" slip mats though

they look something like this:

Dark · 12 Apr 2005, 09:55

Well, when you ask who has a turntable nowadays, I advise caution. I have one upstairs in my bedroom so I can listen to Gift as I'm trying to get up, and one downstairs on my computer desk, so I can play them whilst shooting people on random FPSes.

Besides, the whole thing downstairs was a fiver from a car boot sale, what do I care if I play flexis on it? Long Train works fine.

Happy bidding Dark (funds permitting)

- this one is so perverse that I even wanted to get it but I'm afraid I'm not back from Berlin when the auction ends

Yes, it reminds me very very very weird vinyls I have seen in Soviet time - no Sisters one until now.

Dark · 30 Jul 2005, 20:15

Andrew S, you are GOD.

Sadly, these each cost quite a bit when put together, but I will try to buy some.

And because I'm SUCH a nice guy, I've saved the pictures to Photobucket, and am writing them up in a new section on the Sisters Wiki, all for you all.

Dark · 04 Aug 2005, 20:22

Well, I got one, but I'm not sure how to transfer money to pay for it. I can try and ask in German if I can pay via cheque or PayPal or just send Euros in an envelope, but still.

Can someone please tell me HOW exactly one would transfer money?

Did you use "ask seller a question" option?
And by the way - which ones did you get?

Dark · 06 Aug 2005, 17:41

I did ask them a question. It was very difficult, as their English was only slightly better than my German (I had some help though, and I think I got it through well enough) and I sent them the Euros this afternoon.

I really DESPERATELY wanted When You Don't See Me and Amphetamine Logic (for its coverart) but I ended up getting that goth classic:
A Rock And A Hard Place.

pikkrong · 08 Aug 2005, 18:57

I hope I'll have another chance to get that strange Marian disk some day.
