   Long overdue.

   I got more into collecting the past few years and scouring the world (literally), especially starting around 2015 when TGOS came out and there were hints that it may be the swan song. I first heard of the P as a freshman in college on the east coast and they're a big reason I was inspired to move to California. Fast forward 15 years. These are pretty much all the direct releases from the group/Thes; haven't gone after comps or features.

   A lot of doubles (triples?) but many of these have stories/memories:
   - Thes sending me a mixtape and Christmas letter in 2009
   - Finding my first copy of ...Or Stay Tuned vinyl in Sydney just hanging on a wall on vacation when nobody in the States had a copy for sale
   - Some guy in Germany having a sealed copy of Original Sounds & Tracks
   - DJ Pizzo selling me his last personal copy of Redheaded Stepchild when I randomly reached out
   - Finding sealed UK pressings of Stepfather in London
   - Being fast and getting some rare grails like the Beer Mug 10YOTO, TGOS 2 test press, and Carried Away Instrumentals directly from Thes
   - My girlfriend giving me her copy of Big Sky Shakedown after the SF show on a rainy street corner on our way home so I had doubles
   - Still have the girlfriend (and the vinyl)

   What can I say? I guess I got Carried Away.

   Top shelf - the P LPs/EPs/CDs/Cassettes
   Middle shelf - Thes LPs/EPs/12"/Boxes/CDs/PUTS DVD
   Bottom shelf left - 12"
   Bottom shelf right - P Instrumentals

   

   Still looking for the Stepfather Snippets & Shenanigans promo CD and Olde Soul/Double K split 7". Open to trades.

   I've gotten a few new ones for my collection. Found a great copy of Stepfather at Needle to the Groove for $30 (am I wrong, or does that seem way too cheap?). Also got a sealed copy of Or Stay Tuned for Christmas. And found the Pass The 40 single in Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto have some great record stores btw). But my new favorite was from the last march sale when I got one of the Trippin' At The Disco Singles. The DJ Day remix is so funky and cool, I might like it more than the original.

   so cool to see all the different collection the P army has. so much gold and rare gold...

   i don have enough P stuff yet to even call it a collection, just some hats and a few lps...but thats why i wanted to post, been a while and i got a question....

   i just recently got a record player and the first of my fav artists that i wanna get vinyl for is the P (of course!) the problem is i dont wanna buy their stuff online from someone other than Thes himself or someone affiliated with him, so yall got any advice on where to get P on wax? i feel like i might just have to get lucky at a record store...

   Might be tough to come by - especially for the earlier stuff. You could try Redef or HHV.de - Thes has/had a partnership with the former and I believe sells directly to the latter.

   You will almost certainly have to buy from someone on discogs or ebay. The early stuff is tough to come by in regular circulation, or maybe just Minneapolis record stores suck.

   I literally just picked up 6 different PUTS/Thes releases on wax, and had to do it through discogs.

   I have a long way to go compared to some of you guys holy crap (first time visiting the collection thread)

   Posted these a few years back but just came across the pics on my harddrive. (Figured I might as well re-up them as all of the old links and/or the filehost I used back then have since expired.)

    So as far as vinyl goes, you’re basically complete.

    The trip 7” perhaps?

    Dope posters, flyers, stickers and ticket stubs right here.
    Especially the one signed "Last one! I mean it!" by Jazmak. I'll assume this was an inside joke of some sort (rather than harrassment) or had you had a few too many and this was his way of telling you to stop drinking?
    (What's up with all the multiples though? Hoarder! I'm kidding.
    But seriously: Have you considered trading some of the extras with fellow fans?)

    Dead center in the pic with the compilation appearances + features.
    (Above the OM Years 2CD promo, left of the Quid Control 12". You can also enlarge the pics by copy & pasting the image link into your browser BTW.)

    I have a collection of various PUTS records and CDs I bought a few years ago which I'm now looking to sell and was just wondering what the value would be.
    I'm also unsure about where would be best to sell them, I bought most of them on Discogs so I was thinking that would be a good place to start, although if possible I'd love to just sell everything as one lot, even if it means making a bit of a loss.
    Any help would be much appreciated thanks, I'll list all the items below.

    I'm interested in buying the lot if you can figure out how much you want for it. :)
