Has anyone got Give Up on vinyl? I'm thinking about getting it but i'm not sure as i can't seem to find it anywhere

eh, i don't buy vinyl. i don't really see the point, unless you're trying to get more "scene points." i like cd quality, thank you very much. i only have one 7", and that is one with a bonus death cab song on it. plus, i have no idea how to work my parents' (extremely old) record player.

i think the vinyl has a couple of bonus tracks on the B-Side, thats the main reason i want to get it

hahaha, yeah, i hate people who listen to vinyl for "scene points" as you put it. i know a guy who does that. :roll:

Just buy the four dollar EPs for the bonus tracks. The ones that are on the vinyl are scattered through the EPs.

Ah, unfortunately vinyl has become kind of "scene," but I've been collecting and listening to vinyl for a long time - don't let anyone tell you there are no benefits to listening to records! It's a fun thing to get into, and some things do sound better on vinyl, especially electronic music. So Postal Service is a good one to go out and get.

I had a heck of a time finding my copy. First my local source went out of business while I was waiting for them to get a copy from Sub Pop. Then I found a copy online, ordered it, and was told later that they didn't have it after all. I eventually got it here at Elusive Disc. It'll cost you $15.99, but it's well worth it, in my opinion.

The bonus 12" that comes with it is pretty sweet. Tracklisting:

01. there's never enough time
02. we will become silhouettes (performed by the shins)
03. such great heights (performed by iron and wine)
04. suddenly everything has changed (flaming lips cover)
05. the district sleeps tonight (dj downfall persistent beat mix)
06. such great heights (john tejada remix)

Thanks for the advice, $15.99 was more than what i paid for the CD version so it isn't that expensive

i already have all those tracks. if anyone wants them just PM me or send me a message on AIM (the infiniheart).

but i think vinyl's cool as long as it's not for scene points. we honestly have about 700+ records sitting in our garage.

Well then you're clearly on top of the scene points stakes

Well luckily you live in San Diego then!! If it were anywhere else, I'd say they would be near-worthless by now due to humidy, heat, cold, changing of seasons, bugs, etc. But you may be OK since the weather's traditionally so nice where you're at. Of course if they're stored improperly (like on top of each other), that's bad too...

if by nice, you mean 85 degrees fahrenheit in november, then yes, it is nice. we just get absolutely no seasons.
