Day two of 2024 and I have already bought 2 records.

@r_vinyl
What is your most sought after record?
I never order my records online, I just go to a local record store and see if they have anything I fancy so finding things I really want is super hard, but last week I found the record I had been wanting forever for cheap (compared to what is costs elsewhere at least)
The record I had been looking for was River of Dreams from 1993 and since I bought it I've been wondering what other people's wishlist looked like. Anybody have a record they really want?

Earlier this week /r/Vinyl pointed out that a mod of /r/VinylDeals was profiting by lying to the community. He deleted his account in shame. Now there's a new mod... with a conveniently brand new account.
In case you missed it...
https://old.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/180i8oy/justaheadsupforpeoplealsosubbedto/
As the title says, the mod at the heart of the controversy - Yooobrad - deleted his account in shame.
This left /r/VinylDeals with a single mod - rundmcc - who, in addition to making a lot of affiliate money from the subreddit he oversees, is also a mod of /r/vinyl.
Instead of being transparent in the search for a new mod, and perhaps using the moment to rectify the egregious mistakes that were made, a new mod was crowned right after Yooobrad deleted his profile... and it's a brand spankin new 3 day old account.
LOL
Come on guys... this is embarrassing.
Should we just take your word for it that the new mod - Spinning3313 - isn't Yooobrad under a different screen name, or given the anger within the community, will you actually do something to assure us that you have our best interest in mind?
