    Haha oh yes I always like it when it’s included. All in near mint condition (only a small sticker visible on my picture on the obi). I think I’ve paid 50 euros for it back than which I already thought to be a ridiculous amount of money but saw on Discogs it has gone up again.

    OBI is usually a good sign that the record was well taken care of, but I always remove it, priority to the front cover for me! I still keep it though, no need to devalue the record of 20% !

    I just look at what Peter Friedman's playing. :)

    I used to look at what BruceH was recommending :D

    As for jazz, the threads on the board such as 1 artist/1 record, List your favorite albums from xxx are helpful for a start, but elaborate comments in the  Artist Corner or  in threads such as What are you listening to (original thread and current) /What vinyl... are very informative.

    As for non jazz, I much prefer RYM than Discogs (the rating system and the comments on Discogs are pretty much junk, even though I found some helpful World music lists  there).

    As for classical music, I tend to read talkclassical.

    As for movies, IMDB offers a lot of connaisseur lists, but I still miss the original Movie thread from the BigO board, a goldmine of information for a newcomer.

    Overall, lists can be wonderful to discover new artists, but I find proactive searches/reads more rewarding. And recently, I tend to focus more on listening to my current jazz collection than systematically broadening my horizons, so much records I love and own that I spin so little. But that's another issue I guess :lol:
