A bunch of cheap eBay iPhone 4 cases. The "fake back" ones are absolutely abysmal, but these perforated hard cases are actually really quite good. they're soft to the touch and are thus grippy and won't scratch your phone. Just as good, if not better, than the iFrogz Luxe Lean case. And about a tenth the price. I may get some more colours. Below is a bright orange one. Sorry about the oversaturation!

Very cool! I am highly considering getting one of those. It seems like you cannot beat it for the price. Espeically since I can download my .pdf's I already have onto it.

That's what I did today, and if you want to avoid the kindle store you can always find cheap or even free pdfs of almost any book online. I'd def say pick one up its super light and super portable.

Bob Dylan - Robert Allen Zimmerman, now that's a difference haha. I like his birth surname better.
He is epic. Is there a better word for 'epic'? Epic might be an understatement I think.

Revolver was the very first CD I ever bought, and I still love it.



So awesome. Glad you found it.

Yeah, man. I love it. He is amazing, just like Schneiderman is saying. I am very glad I decided to pick up some of his records. They will not be the last either, so stay tuned!

Can't go wrong with either for me, but you are right about him being epic!

john lennon insisted on calling him Zimmerman
Well since its John Lennon and all, maybe we should call him Zimmerman ;)


Is that an original pressing? If yes, how much did you pay? (if you don't mind me asking.)

Couldn't tell you if it is original or not, I have always wanted to know if there is a way to find out (which I am sure there is). But here is a description, let me know if you need a pic:

There is no barcode on the cover. It was pressed by Capitol Records under ST-2576. I paid like $20 or $25, maybe less. Can't remember.

Doesn't sound like an original pressing. Is it in Mono or Stereo? It's far more likely to be an older pressing if it's in Mono (although there were also later mono pressings in the 80s, and the 2nd edition was also in Mono as well as stereo).

If it is an original it'll have yellow "Parlophone" writing on the label, the "all rights of the manufacturer" message around the outside of the label will start with "The Gramaphone Co. Ltd" and has a "Sold in the UK" statement on the left hand side of the label underneath the yellow "Parlophone" lettering.

Mine is an original mono pressing (although not the earliest version). Mine holds a value of around $200-300 I believe. If it's an original pressing in Mono and says "Dr Robert" on the label (like mine), then it's quite valuable, if it says "Doctor Robert" instead, than it's about half the value. If it has "XEX 606-1" etched into the vinyl just underneath the label on side 2, then it's extremely valuable (about $800).

Gosh, that was convoluted.

That's an original US stereo version. It should only have 11 tracks because "I'm Only Sleeping", "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Doctor Robert" were included on the album "Yesterday and Today".

The UK and US releases were on different record labels and up until Sgt. Pepper were not even the same albums. The US Capitol album won't be labeled as Parlophone as that is a subsidiary of EMI records in the UK.

I hope you didn't pay $200-300 for your copy, you can get it for under £20 here.

It's a stereo version, I was thinking if it were pressed in UK, I would have been paying a lot more for it than what I did. This also explains why when I am going through the collectors bin at the used record store some of the beatles albums are like $300. I was just there this past weekend, and there was a Revolver album @ $250, it would be cool to have as a collectors item. If I were to pay that much for a record, it would have to be some kind of Ramones record, thats the only band I would really pay that much for a collectors item.
