I absolutely do play it, but I still have to manage my plays considering its rarity. It sounds great, and the sound of the record really pops out when you hear the record as compared to online sources.

I randomly decided to just look at who had copies of Falling and Laughing on Discogs (Which you can see in the statistics section). Then I just thought "Would anyone be willing to actually sell it to me?", and then I message everyone who was visible that had a copy. Most of them said that they treasured this record (for obvious reasons) and would never get rid of it. Then one of the guys emailed me and said he was downsizing his collection, as he was downsizing his home as well. I negotiated with him for about two weeks, and I was able to get a bunch of records, including every other Postcard Orange Juice record.

The Clash - London Calling

The Pink Fairies - Never Never Land (The album ends at Dream Is Just Beginning, the rest are bonus tracks)

Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West

The Chills - Submarine Bells

It's essentially indie rock that mixes psychedelic rock with some Velvet Underground droney guitars and Byrdsy jangle guitar. Each band has their unique characteristics that come from different influences, but those are some of the commonalities between all of the bands.

Here's a playlist I made on youtube of the key tracks I'll be mentioning below.

First, The Clean: You listened to them here, but you have to listen to their EP Boodle Boodle Boodle. The best way to describe it is "Surf Rock Velvet Underground". My favorite tracks on it are Anything Could Happen and Point That Thing Somewhere Else. They also have Getting Older, which was originally their swan song, as they broke up due to not being able to handle the success they were experiencing. They formed back together in 1989 and have released quite a few albums, but I think they don't reach the heights they reached with the first two EPs, those being Boodle Boodle Boodle(which they recently reissued along with their first single Tally Ho) and Great Sounds Great.

The Chills: They were the big band on Flying Nun in the 1980s and early 90s. They have a poppy indie sound that's appealing and almost has a Twee pop vibe to it in some aspects, and they also have some noisier tracks. Some favorites are Kaleidoscope World, Pink Frost, and Doledrums. Their first 3 albums, which are Brave Words, Submarine Bells, and Soft Bomb are great listening experiences.

The Bats: This band was the band that the bassist from the Clean founded after they initially broke up in 1983. They have more of a folk rock/indie Byrds sound to them that I like. Some favorites include By Night, Claudine, Made up in Blue, and North by North. They have quite a few good albums to check out if you want, my favorites being Daddy's Highway, The Law of Things, and Fear of God. Silverbeet and Couchmaster are good albums too. This band really doesn't have any bad albums, go for all of it.

The Verlaines: They were the more artsy band in the early period of Flying Nun. They have more of a classic rock vibe to them. They had a sizable influence on the band Pavement. Some good starting points include Death and the Maiden, Pyromaniac, and Doomsday. These are just single tracks, but their EPs and albums also have good tracks to offer, such as It Was Raining, CD Jimmy Jazz and Me, and Joed Out.

Straitjacket Fits: These guys were more of the rocking side of indie rock. They were apart of the second wave of Flying Nun bands and had some good hard rock tunes to boot, like She Speeds and Dialing a Prayer, and some Beatles-esque ballads like Down in Splendour thanks to their guitarist Andrew Brough (R.I.P). Other notable tracks include Hail and Bad Note For a Heart.

Chris Knox/Tall Dwarfs/Toy Love - I love everything this man did in the 80s and the 90s. He's basically New Zealand's David Bowie, and probably the most important person to all of New Zealand music. He first made records with his band Toy Love, who are more straight New Wave and Punk Rock, but they inspired all the bands from Dunedin to pick up a guitar and create their own songs, spawning the Dunedin scene in the first place. Chris Knox also recorded all of the early material by all the aforementioned bands. He then went on to do Tall Dwarfs, which is an experimental mindscrew and one of the original Lo-Fi/home recording bands. They have songs like Turning Brown and Torn in Two with the weirdness factor, then they do psychedelic jams like Crush, and then they do Sign the Dotted Line, an acoustic song that Jeff Mangum even did a cover of. They go all over the place. His solo career also has quite a few bangers, like the ultimate love song Not Given Lightly, rockers like Half Man, Half Mole, and more acoustic songs like Lapse. He is an interesting and important figure in New Zealand indie music and has a vast catalog to look through. It's unfortunate that he had a stroke in 2009 and can no longer create such great music anymore, but what we do have is great.

Honorable Mentions: Look Blue Go Purple(An all female Indie group), The 3D's(Noise-Pop extravaganza), Garageland(Power Pop Punk), The JSP Experience(Also pretty weird),Sneaky Feelings(Byrds/Motown Pop sound), Able Tasmans(Indie pop with a level of musical sophistication).

Apparently it was Fentanyl

no problem, here's the discogs account:

https://www.discogs.com/user/ryuundo/collection?page=1&limit=250&header=1

About 2000 albums, plus 200-300 45s, 100 or so CDs, and about 50 78s.

Favorite album on vinyl is probably either Modest Mouse' Lonesome Crowded West or the Clash London Calling.

I have accumulated a few rarities over the years and I'll show some below:

My Copy of Orange Juice's Falling and Laughing with the flexi and postcard (only 934 copies made, 200 with the postcard)

My copy of the Pink Fairies Never Neverland with the PVC outer sleeve:

and my original 1976 copy of the Ramones debut album:

My Rolling Stones records, My Ramones records, and my records by the Fall.

I have my dads 80s Onkyo setup that I finally set up fully a month ago.

They are organized alphabetically by first name, and in order of release, even down to the month if multiple releases came out in one year.

I always play new arrivals when I get them. When I bring stuff home, I go on discogs and catalog them in my collection, so i have a day-by-day note of what albums I got, and I play the albums to check condition.

I mean I'm only 22, so I've got (hopefully) quite a long ways from thinking about that.

Everythings organized by first name and put in order of release, and filed on Discogs. I'm lucky I started early on Discogs within the first 100 records. I wouldn't really bother with genre organization, as that would get a little confusing to me.
