That one costs 250$, it's an Audio Technica-LP120



I got it on Amazon using Anthony Melonheadtano's affiliate to kick him some money since he's the one that got me into vinyls.



It's expensive I know. The first one i got was a cheapo 40$ one on amazon, but upon reading reviews, and seeing how cheaply built it was, I returned it and just waited a few more weeks to get me the expensive LP-120. In terms of turntables, it's quite cheap and a great price for such a quality turntable.



I'm not into vinyls all that much (I only have 7 records, of which all of them are Kendrick Lamar). But I decided to return the cheap one because of the damage it does to your records. Any turntable under 200$ will scratch your records over time, and it's not worth it.



I'm not a snob either. I hate snobs, but this is probably the lowest end you'd wanna go. It has a counterweight setting for the needle so it doesn't put too much weight down onto the record (which is what separates cheap turntables from the good ones). It's heavy as fuck and has a lot of little fancy doohickeys like reverse mode, pitch settings, different record lengths, and those dots on below the record indicate if the turntable is spinning at a precise rate that you want it to.



I know this is too much information for what you asked, but i'm letting you know why it's so expensive. You can still collect vinyl records without a player. If you don't have 250$ to spend on a turntable, just keep your records on a shelf to look at and wait until you can get a decent turntable so they don't ruin your records.



Another good option is to try and find one on craigslist, ebay, or local garage sales/swap meets/goodwills, but I don't know much about old turntables so I just chose the slightly more expensive route.



One day when I'm older I wanna be able to play Kendrick's albums to my grandkids (if i even have kids) or friends down the line, and if you use a cheap turntable that's under 200 bucks you won't be able to do that without it sounding scratched and skipping over portions of the song.




Believe me I didn't want to spend 250$ dollars on this shit since I don't even have that many vinyl records or play it that often, but I wanted to go the high way or nothing at all.



edit: You also need your own speakers for it. I got lucky and found some very nice logitech speakers next to the dumpster at my apartments. I dont know why someone threw them away but they worked so good and have the best bass i've ever heard in two tiny little speakers. It's better than the speakers I have hooked up to my computer right now lol. They were 140$ logitech speakers that worked perfectly fine and I got them one day just taking out the trash.

It's from China so variable quality but mine is pretty awesome actually. 100% reccomend.

US Version is fine. Edit: LOL The streaming one is fine, but the vinyl one is off. Funny stuff.

Not on Amazon Germany yet.

EDIT: Just popped up: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06Y4DGVZC It says the release date for the CD is the 21st of April. That would be fantastic and way sooner than what I had hoped for.

Strange, even in the iTunes client? It's showing up for me clear as day there. Well, you can also use this Amazon link, that should give you the clean version.

I'm pretty sure these are the ones I'm using. I use 3 on each record, 1 on top and 2 on the bottom. You kind of have to be careful though because sometimes the hook kind of pinches the cover, but that mostly only affects double LPs, and even then it's not too bad.

I think there would be a CD version as well haha

It's the Audio Technica LP-120, you can fund it pretty much everywhere. Amazon

Yo, just thought I'd stoke the flames some more.... noticed Amazon has CD priced like a double disc. Single disc releases from majors are £9.99

you can go support your local record store or amazon

Not finding anything in a cursory search of "Four Glocks Entertainment" but it seems they've done this before. I wonder how they get away with it.

Depends on the size, I got them A1 and the frame from amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thin-Gloss-Black-Picture-Frame-x/dp/B00EMG1IB8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501327695&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=A1+poster+frame&psc=1

Is there a difference in the quality of an official vinyl from the official online shop vs, say this one from amazon?

If you buy something like this you can print out your own patch, cut it out, and iron it onto a jacket.

Frames I just got in a two pack from amazon UK. I had a look to see if I could find them for you guys on Amazon US but these exact ones don't see to be on there, sorry guys.

Amazon's not the most reliable when it comes to Kendrick album covers.

We are currently unsure. There is an amazon pre-order link posted for CDs that hit the market next week.

I found this and I don't know if it's legit despite good reviews of the vinyl and seller.
