Last weekend, my 15 year old daughter convinced me to travel 180 miles to Ann Arbor to the Monster Record Show.
I don't think I saw vinyl_lady!
I am laughing as I read this -- not sure if it's an auto-nervous reaction to recognizing my own greying tendencies to seek out and even wash old LPs, or if it's delight at finding someone else who would willingly pay $$ for Sweet's Desolation Boulevard ("...just Turn it Down....")...Guilty pleasures are just the best.
Jerome,
I just perused your music collection. Very nice, but no Rilo Kiley? Like you, I listen to a lot of genres, but what's Math Rock? I never heard of that genre before.

Wayner,
I got rid of my "multiple use" scales several years back and continue to find uses for them. :scratch: Wish I still had them. :wink:
Laura
You are one special lady! Good to see you at the RMAF, and sorry I didn't have more time. Frank had me on a busy schedule ( I think so I wouldn't get into trouble).
Wayner aa
Well, I should add that I never had a drug type scale, either.

Here's the latest batch of Blue Note and Impulse 45 RPM long players that were delivered today. I am about to queue up Joe Henderson's Page One. 8) I have more vinyl coming tomorrow.

Thanks to vinyl_lady for the Mark Knopfler post. I was aware of the relase but it slipped my mind for some inexplicable reason. It's been a busy month for vinyl buys for me.
--Jerome
Jerome,
Be sure to post what you think of these. The Shorter and Mingus albums are two of my all-time favorites on regular vinyl.
Jerome,
Be sure to post what you think of these. The Shorter and Mingus albums are two of my all-time favorites on regular vinyl.
I don't own an original pressing of the Mingus album but instead own a couple of different reissues. I do have an original Blue Note and a direct metal master cut in the 1980s of Ju Ju. I consider both 45s to be very worthwhile upgrades, and I can say the same for the rest of the series from Analogue Productions and Music Matters. I don't own them all, but I have managed to gather 62 of them and have yet to be disappointed. The mastering has uniformly been superb and is consistent with what one would expect from Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman.
--Jerome
Please tell me how the Moody Blues sounds. Is that a Speakers Corners?
Paul
Laura,
What about a recent re-release by Deram SML 707? Is this the one done by Speakers Corner or is it yet another release? :scratch: I don't understand how one record gets re-released by more then one label. This one that I have is the DSS process and is very quiet. I think it's a very good pressing.

Wayner :D
I have the Speakers Corners pressing of DoFP and listened to it again this morning before going to work. The vinyl quality is excellent--very dark background--silent in the groove until the needle encounters music. I think it is a very good recording--lots of clarity, air and detail--very easy to close your eyes and get lost in the music. I'm a huge Moody Blues fan with mutliple copies of some albums and all of their individual recordings. IMO, this recording is worth having in your collection.
Laura
Speakers Corner reissues are usually exact reproductions of the original album cover art and labels. They include a catalog of current titles in every record...
(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/DOFP_SpeakersCorner.jpg)
I also have an original 1967 Deram pressing but am too tired to go dig it up. The Speakers Corner reissue looks the same.
--Jerome
I just get why people have 8 copys of the same lp :scratch:
I find the whole thing of pressings and mixes much of a bother for me . If there's a better sounding copy i'm inteersted but i don't care if its new 180 gr vinyl, reissue or the original that's the only thing i'm into. what label when it was made has nothing to do with if i am going to pick it up. If its clean and looks good that's it no multible copys for me the best sounding one stays and the other one goes. I just don't get why people have 8 copys of the same lp :scratch:
I find the whole thing of pressings and mixes much of a bother for me .Ed,
I've been guilty of that in the past, but I've turned over a new leaf and am right on your page.
I have one more order on the way and I just wanted to thank Berndt for posting about The Smiths albums. I have them all on CD but decided to order The Queen is Dead on vinyl and if I like what I hear then I'll order the rest of The Smiths catalog. From what I have read so far the Rhino remasters that were supervised by Johnny Marr have been pretty well received.
--Jerome
A couple of new arrivals...
(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/NewArrivals10312009.jpg)
--Jerome
I see more and more of the Rhino 180 gram reissues. I've read a few good reviews (GD American Beauty). I've bought their Black Sabbath Paranoid reissue and thought it was great.
Are they universally solid recommendations? (as opposed to the "Back to Black" drek :nono:)
Thx
Kenreau
Now, The Genesis collection, 1970-1975 is done by Rhino and it is fabulous! Much better then any of the original pressings....by a country mile!
OK: another DoFP question: there's the original mastering and then there's the late mastering. There are a few difference between them, the one that sticks out in my mind is on Side 2.
The first song, "The Afternoon," ends with "Time to Get Away" and it melts into "Evening..." For the original mix, they sing (I think) "Evening, time to get away" more than once and it fades into the next song. On the original mix, they sing that three times. On the later mix, they only sing it twice.
So (like nobody has anything better to do), how many times do they sing it on the Speakers Corner reissue? You see, from what I've read, the original mix may be better and it would mean I should look for a European copy vs. a reissue. Jerome has that original copy, if it's an import, maybe he can dig it up when not tired and give it a spin...
Paul
Kenreau,
what tone arm is on your turntable in the Nirvana album pictures?
thanks,
Laura
I for one thought the Analogue Productions reissue of Fragile (remastered by Steve Hoffman) was pretty bad when compared to my original 1972 pressing. It was one of the few times that I was very disappointed in a Hoffman remaster.
--Jerome
The same tonearm I have mounted on my SOTA Star Sapphire. BTW, thanks for posting about the Nirvana ORG pressings. They are on my radar.
--Jerome
Has anyone bought a recent new LP that has had gross defects with it and tried to send it back? I have 2 that are really bad and the 30 day window is closing in on me.

Paul,
Tonight, with the baseball game on in the background, sound off, and nothing better to do, :roll: I listened to 3 copies of DOFP, side 2. Two are from 1967 (both USA pressings), and the 3d is the Speakers Corner reissue. They sing "time to get away" 3 times on all three copies. This little listening session also reminded me how good the Speakers Corner reissue is. Lots of detail and clarity--an excelllent pressing IMO. Listening to the Moddies is always a pleasant experience, and much better than the baseball talking heads. :)

Jerome,
I am green with envy :green: Is all of this "new" vinyl?
I could use a noise free copy of Let it Bleed. That's my favorite REO album and I bought the Travelling Wilbury's vinyl box set a while back to go with my original pressings of both albums. Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart has been a long-time favorite and Janis Ian is a nice purchase. In fact, it's all good--just that these jumped out at me.
Happy cleaning and listening
No, it isn't all "new." The only new albums here are in the picture with The Smiths reissues. The rest are used vintage records. Many of those are first pressings but some are reissues.QuoteI could use a noise free copy of Let it Bleed.

The Stones albums were purchases of opportunity from a dealer that I know and trust. I also have the 180g DSD reissue of Let It Bleed but I haven't had time to compare. The Janis Ian album was simply a better copy than the one I already owned.
--Jerome
I was going to post a ? regarding the Stone LIB as well. Same DSD question. Reportedly as good as the originals. I would really like to know what you think re: sound quality.
Also - The Layla album, ATCO, UK or US pressing?
Thanks Jerome!
Have a great day
Laura
Would this be the ABKCO 882 332-1 release available via, for example, SoundstageDirect (http://www.soundstagedirect.com/rolling-stones-let-it-bleed-import-vinyl-lp.shtml)
Very nice Laura. :thumb: If you like Drive By Truckers then I can heartily recommend Southern Rock Opera. I would also be very interested to know what you think of Isolation Drills.
Enjoy!

I found a nice, lightly used copy of this Grateful Dead LP a few days ago. The vinyl is really thin, but it still sounds better than CD to me! :thumb:
Grateful Dead, From the Mars Hotel
The Broken Social Scene record is great. "Anthems For a Seventeen Year Old Girl" is my favorite. Didn't realize it was on vinyl.

:lol: instead of a grove that spirals into the center of the record it stop and just plays the last grove on the record kinda of a skip in the record on purpose.on a lot of records you would pick this up right away but i thought it was some loop or something that they had going. Have you ever listened to sonic youth. Noise and distorted music is a norm for them so its kinda a dirty trick :lol: I hope i made myself clear

The DENNIS WILSON album above is amazing.
Splurged on the new, luxuriously boxed Classic Records release of Aqualung on four 200g Clarity vinyl discs.
Dropped the needle on "My God." ? which is exactly what would have come from my mouth had I not been left speechless by the wonderfully rich, detailed and lively presentation. Probably the most "in the room" experience of any vinyl I own.
As a sanity check I then played the track again this time from the 33.3 RPM 200G Classic issue ? the 45 RPM version blew it away.

My advice would be to hunt down original Island Records pressings. They are plentiful, cheap, and sound better than the 180g reissues that I have.
Sometimes they do get it right the first time. :green:
--Jerome
Thanks Jerome, you just saved me some $.
Ugh! That is what I was afraid of. I don't recall the originals being anything special to begin with. I sure wish there was some industry scruples on the merits of wether or not to create these re-issue products.
It appears like nearly nobody with the record label companies listens to any of their products. They are apparently more interested in cranking out slick glossy product with "audiophile" stickers on the packaging and crossing their fingers it sells [Mofi, AP, Rhino, MM, ORG excluded] Come to think of it, there appears to be a direct correlation to the higher priced reissues and the superior sound quality reissues. Hmmm :scratch:
Do you happen to know about the Tupelo Honey reissue? From my limited searches at the SHoffman site, it was reissued by some other firm and I don't think massaged by Hoffman/Grey. I haven't found any reviews or coments of this title reissue.
In today from Acoustic Sounds...

On a slight tangent, I am really getting disappointed with the quality of recent "new" vinyl purchases. The above mentioned purchase was one of a group of 7 LPs I purchased Monday night (Cyber Monday sale) and 4 out of the 7 were rejects. The rejects included (in addition to "The Crane Wife"), The Drive By Truckers "SRO" [weird milky white contamination melted through the vinyl), Led Zep "TSRTS" RTI box set [2 of the 4 LPs were scratched and warped], John Coltrane "Blue Train" Classic Records reissue [scratched on about 25% of both sides of LP like it had been pushed around on a gritty floor].

Hi Jerome,
I am considering get a few of the older U2 titles. Do you know if the recent remaster/reissues are any better sonically than finding original pressing? It is such a crap shoot with so many of these new reissues.
Thanks
Kenreau
Hi Laura,
Thanks for posting. I am convinced that we have different pressings. Mine are imports from Holland on 180g vinyl and none of them have a booklet.
I just ordered Boy, October, War, The Unforgettable Fire, and The Joshua Tree.
--Jerome
I hope you enjoy them and will be interested in your impressions.
From Recycled Records in Reno NV on a business trip last week
I have the original mono pressing of Them, but did not have the stereo version. The others are new to my collection. I have lots of Rascals/Young Rascals LPs, but not this one. This is the only ELO album I did not have. I can't believe I missed this JT album the first time around. I love Johnny Maestro's voice and this is the first time I have seen this double album of his songs from the Crests and Brooklyn Bridge. Time to give the VPI RCM a good workout.
Laura
I just picked up The Decemberists "The Hazards of Love" last night but have not listened to it yet. I actually had to return my initial purchase of "The Crane Wife" because the vinyl pressing (brand new) looked like it had been in a used dirty Good Will bin for a few years and was warped. The matrix info also indicated an "RE" which I presume was a reissue. Very poor quality pressing. I did a search at the SHF and noticed a few comments also mentioning the vinyl pressing was a known disaster. Major disappointment as "The Crane Wife" is a fantastic album. I opened "THOL" LP at the store and it looks great.
Kenreau
I am number one Roy Wood freak! That's the only ELO album with Wood on it. Truly experimental, wonderful stuff but might be a bit for "fans only."
Anyway, there was a recent BBC Roy Wood interview. They go through the creation of 10538 Overture in detail, layer by layer with access to the master tapes. No small feat, given the fact that they only had 4 track to work with!
Paul
Here are the U2 remasters that I ordered after Laura posted. These are quite a bit different from the imports that I have. I'll be queing up Boy in a few minutes. Thanks again Laura!

Hello everyone. I am a new Audio Circler, referred by pumpkinman. I enjoy vinyl lps a great deal although by no means an analog only separatist. But there is something I like very much about the way records sound that is very appealing to my ears.Glad to have you on board the more the merrier...............Bill
Last week I purchased some really great albums at my favorite local used vinyl store. Here are some of the covers:
The Laura Nyro lps are purchased as backups (I have lots of multiples of favorite records). Which leads me to ask you all about your favorite pressings of favorite albums.
In particular I am wondering what all of you may think is the best pressing/stamping of Neil Young's Zuma and Comes a Time lps. I have a beat up copy of Zuma with 1A/1B stampers in the dead wax that really blows me away despite the noisy surface, crackles and pops! I would be interested in your experiences with these records and with any of your favorites in general. Thanks for reading this.
Welcome, AudioCheapSkate (ACS for short)!
Some albums are just too important, gotta have multiple copies. Sometimes mine seem to multiply on their own, don't even remember buying the different versions (like four copies of Ziggy Stardust). Other times, albums are in the sleeve behind albums (like Richard Lloyd's Alchemy had Field of Fire with it, no idea when I got it!). Part of the problem is buying more music than I have time to listen to.
Don't know about the Neil Young albums; usually my stamper dead wax questions go to stevehoffman.tv where it seems people who worked in the factories know little intricate details that I can't imagine anyone could know. But whether it's on this or that forum, the responses always make me feel more "normal," like this stuff really IS important!
I gotta bunch of new and old vinyl lately that I simply must post soon!
Too bad my preamp is in the shop and I am tuneless. Think I'll listen to youtube: type "Jeff Beck Blanket" Imogen Heap is phenomenal and I'm a slave to that performance.
Paul
BTW which stamping of the 4 Ziggy records that you have do you prefer???

Am I lucky or what? This is the 180g stuff and except for two momentary scrunches on one side of one album, all four are flawless.

In addition to being a damn fine jam, the Allman Bros Fillmore East 180g reissue (new) is most impressive for its low surface noise.
A bit underwhelmed with the dynamics on the Jeff Beck Truth (new) mono reissue.
The Procol Harum Live Edmonton Symphony Orchestra recording is quite rich.
Massively enjoying Who by Numbers and Rough Mix. Also loving the Best of Free LP.
The Traffic Low Spark and Yes Topographic LPs are upgrades to existing copies.
Also snagged an original, sealed Moody Blues Seventh Sojourn (forgot to include for the photo!).
I can't help it; I've got the disease and I am uncureably addicted. I returned from Phoenix, stopped in at 4000 Holes and walked out with The Avett Brothers newest - I and Love and you. A double LP with a free download code for the computer and iPod.

Just for laughs and giggles I stopped into my local flea market, an old barn. Found boxes and plastic totes at rear corner, and the stink of mold. But I started looking anyway.
Lots of junk, and some potential nice finds, but abused beyond all repair. Still, it was $1 per title, nothing to lose.
But in one plastic tote, found a bunch of mono, RCA Victor Red Label classical recordings, these were old, but looked to be in good shape, so started cherry picking.
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=30713)
What's the Japanese import at top, left?Hi Gene an album by Camel
Bill...Great eyes Chris I didn't list the titles..........Bill
Michael Hedges - "Live on the Double Planet".... 8) .... good album/good sound. :beer:
Jeff Beck - Playing This Week: Live at Ronnie Scott's
Just got the Police's "Ghost in the Machine". OMG is this a great pressing. It sounds fantastic even on my less than ideal setup. For $5.
Pretty funny how they basically trash Mobile Fidelity and other 'half speed masters' and most heavy reissues.

A local college radio station aired a live interview(NPR) with Roky and one member
of Overkill River about this album. I got to listen to about half of it on a ride
home. The interview was alot of fun to listen to............Bill
Very cool. Roky has been through a lot to say the least. Do you remember the 13th Floor Elevators?
New arrivals...Hard to believe with your collection some of these you didn't already have like the Jethro Tull

Miles Davis "Kind Of Blue"
The first thing that grabs the listener about John Mellencamp's No Better Than This is its sound: mono — recorded live to an Ampex 601 tape recorder circa 1955, with a single microphone without mixing or overdubs. It's warmth and presence are immediate and engulfing. Mellencamp and T-Bone Burnett cut the album while on tour supporting, Life Death Love and Freedom, Mellencamp's celebrated precursor. This album was cut in some very famous locales: First African Baptist Church in Savannah, GA (the first African American Christian church in North America), Sun Studios in Memphis, and in Room 414 of the Gunter Hotel in San Antonio, TX, where Robert Johnson recorded "Stones in My Passway" in 1936.:thumb:

'Tea For The Tillerman" - Cat Stevens
Does it have LH in the dead wax?
Paul
Decal: The Jamey Johnson is terrific. Triple LP for $25! If you like this one, try "That Lonesome Song"
I stared at your post for 10 mins. trying to understand it, then googled the phrase and the name Cat Stevens, and found the explanation.
And yes, in the dead wax have "STERLING" LH, though the L looks like nothing more than a scratch.
Pumpkinman:
Eclectic stuff! Crabby's second album, Grin's third...John Barleycorn and more! Greeat catch....

That's a very nice album by Bruce Cockburn.
Paul,
You're one lucky dude. Other than Avalon, you have all the imported studio R.M. albums. Now you need to get all the imported live albums.
Cheers,

Paul
Minty Surfaries originals: 'Hit City 64' on Decca, and 'Fun City USA'. $4 each and book near mint is $50 each. Good deal.
Then also the first Pentangle album, and 'Solomon's Seal' by them also.
A Randy Newman 'Sail Away', with gatefold cover
And a mint Jeff Beck 'Wired'.
I already owned copies of Wired, and Solomon's Seal but these were such perfect copies I had to buy them!
4. Seatrain / Marblehead Messenger
I got this one, too, from Goodwill for a buck.
Paul
If I'm lying I'm dying Paul $1 here to. This LP was a red Capitol with a black and purple bullseye
Not sure if this a early pressing or not ??
Mine has a red label, I'm sure it's newer than yours. At least it doesn't have a UPC on the back!

Good luck on uninterrupted listening!

I bought this one recently, only listened to side 1, but I listened twice because
Long Live Politzania
is absolutely wild! Kinda like In Held Twas in I from Procol Harum...
Paul
Got the booklet. It's MCA. It looks like it was never played so I just couldn't resist.
I already have a Decca copy (with the Rainbow Label) from around 1970 when I originally purchased the album. Although it's possible I wore out my first copy and bought the Decca copy later on as a replacement. Can't remember for sure.
Keith Moon's drumming on Tommy is just incredible. He was the Best.
I already had 2 copies Paul but it was clean and it was a $1 so now I have 3

The Kinks...........................Low Budget

Bought these on ebay,keeping my fingers crossed!!!
Yo pumpkin!
I thought you were already posting Thursdays haul at DD!!
Paul
todays' haul from local shop: $30.total, used but perfect, except last one which is a new copy.
Psychedelic Furs. (First album) "Psychedelic Furs"
Waitresses EP "I Could Rule the World if I Just Had the Parts"
Dexys Midnight Runners: "Too-Rye-Ay" and
Dexy's " ": "Searching For the Young Soul Rebels"
the Jam: "All Mod Cons" (new copy)
That place has good stuff. But recently they have gone to having way more new vinyl than used in the Rock section.
And the new stuff is really expensive, a few at $12 the the majority at $20 to $30. Too expensive for me! (usually).
I waited till Saturday to go to DDs
I was in Tempe AZ for the Insight Bowl and visited Stinkweeds; Revolver Records; Zia; Hoodlum Records & Rockzone Records and came away with these
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=40767)
The two Buffalo Springfield albums are part of my quest to find quiet copies without audible scratches that weren't abused by the previous owner like I abused my original copies. Same with QMS. :oops:
3. Procol Harum / Home
7. Bad Finger / Straight Up
Nice haul, Laura. Isn't that The Great Lost Kinks album? I've never seen it in person, I bid on a new copy once, but didn't go over 50 bucks so I lost the auction.
I saw a mono copy of Face to Face while on vacation but the cover was beyond trashed at the edges so I passed at 22 bucks...
Paul
The Great Lost Kinks Album...some info about it... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Lost_Kinks_Album) :thumb:
That is vicious. I can't help it. I really like the album and it is extremely rare. I'd been happy to find it for a $1.00, but then..........what else to spend the money on?
:D
Thanks to a recommendation from a fellow member here (thanks again Marc), I aquired this via a Discogs vendor;

Bill, does the owner of DD Records acquire as many used records as it seems like? How big is the store?
Actually it's nuts how many Lp's he comes up with. Almost all the Lp's I bought tonight were marked down to make room as he has another large collection coming in soon. Which is supposed to be alot of British blues Lp's. I'm hoping for some early John Mayall on Decca and maybe some Chicken Shack :hyper:
Of the records listed 1 was $8 ~ 2 at $3 ~ the rest were a $1
Laura look for DD's on FaceBook
I don't do Facebook

Paul
Met up with Shadowlight, Etcarroll and of course Mrs. P at DD's today

On The Road Again is not Roy's finest moment, but since The Move are my favorite group I have just about everything Roy's ever done! Do you have Boulders? Mustard?

Then hit Ikea for a wall unit/bookcase to store the vinyl I've bought this year, as it's all been sitting around in boxes as shown in my last post.
Bill,
I salute you for having the patience to look through .50 & $1 records for that gem worth keeping and playing. I don't have the patience or perhaps I've become too much of a record snob :dunno: I've gotten to the point if a used record is not mint, near mint, or VG++ at the worse, I'm not interested. I know you sometimes find gems among those .50 and $1 records. The one time each year I am willing to spend a few hours looking thorugh boxes of junk for a gem or two is at the local NPR station's annual fundraising sale. They have some vintage equipment they sell by auction too.
Enjoy your new finds.
Hi Laura
All the .50 Records were in very nice shape I found a bunch that I would have liked to have except
for there condition. If you see anything Laura in my finds let me know and I'll send it to you. As far
as Yocco's goes it's very well known arourd these here parts :lol:

Underrated gem. Is this a deep red 2 eye Columbia label? I never had the record originally: I had the 8 track! I have 2 copies now, though.
Paul
No must be a later pressing wouldn't it be a Columbia 360 ??
Probably. My copies have the orange red label with a bunch of little yellow Columbias on it.

I bought the record during the first week of its release in Jan. 1971. It is on the "Columbia, Columbia" label (red with 6 yellow Columbias around the outside of the label and an eye between each Columbia). According to http://heroinc.0catch.com/columbia/ Columbia stopped pressing on the 2-eye label in 1970 and also stopped using the 360 sound label the same year so I don't think there is a 2 eye or 360 label of this album.I have the first 2 albums that are Columbia 360 albums, just not as nice a condition as I'd like. I never looked at the release date Laura and you are correct. Thanks for keeping an eye on me :thumb:................Bill
BTW, imo the Rhino remasters on 180g vinyl pressed at RTI of Chicago Transit Authority and Chicago are far superior to the orginal pressings.

2 copies American Beauty, Tea for the Tillerman, Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road, Abraxas, Born to Run, Feel So Good, a couple Men at Work, Breakfast in America, Sticky Fingers, Days of Future Passed, The Doors, Hot August Night, Cosmo's Factory, ELO Greatest Hits, a couple of classical, Doobie Brothers, Dark Side of the Moon, Ziggy Stardust, Fly Like an Eagle, Waiting for Columbus, Aja, Aqualung, Fleetwood Mac, E.C. Slowhand, Georgen Benson Breezin'. Whew, that's a mouthful. I think I hit the motherlode!!!!

Gene for that collection I would so
I'll believe it when I see it, though there is some tasty stuff in Pauls new additions.
We going to the crackhouse Saturday? I'm going to see/hear the Philly Symph. Orch. either this Sunday or next.

5 new additions, 3 used and 2 new. King Crimson is the 200g remastered LP (I have an original pressing) and Dire Straits is the 180g double album remastered version to go along with an original pressing. I couldn't pass up The Ventures double album--mint condition as is New Riders. This is my first Roches album.
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=42849)
My King Crimson is in terrible shape was this a local deal or mail order Laura. Thanks.........Bill

Regarding 5 & 6, isn't the 1st name Chet?
While in Portland to see The Decemberists Saturday night, and watch my oldest daughter run a half marathon (1hr 32 min), I spent Satruday morning and afternoon at Music Millenium, two Jackpot Records locations and 2nd Avenue Records and came home with these:
The top 4 are new vinyl. The Neil Young is a first pressing with the correction sticker stating that "If You Got Love" is not on the album. This is the 4th different pressing of DOFP in my collection and the Genesis is an unintended dupe because I forgot I already owned it. :duh: Bill, none of these came from the $1.00 bin. :lol:Laura
Doubles and no $1 records Shame Shame Shame on you :lol:
While in Portland to see The Decemberists Saturday night
Laura
Saw them last year, have tickets for this April at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI, ideal place for concerts. Saw The Hazards of Love last year, what a great show!
Got a MoFi DOFP now, so until I see a minty British, I'm done. In fact, I need to get rid of my crackly crappy copies, of which I have at least three!
Labour of Lust is coming out on reissue, I posted about the vinyl sale they had at YepRoc a few weeks ago. If it is half as good as the reissue of Lowe's first album (which they expanded to a double: the British has slightly different versions of several songs), it will be a sonic pleasure!
Great score, Laura.
Paul
PS I don't have a lot of patience for the dollar bin either. Don't tell the Pumpkin!

DD be damned!
I'm in Encore Ann Arbor!
Paul
Damn Paul that's some serious vinyl. Looks like they have a ton of goodies.
I guess I'll just have to be happy with DDs. Is that a far drive or someplace
you can frequent :thumb:................Bill
Better pics. Also went to PJ's in Ann Arbor, a little hole in the wall but a wonderful selection with a great, talkative owner. The XTC greatest hits is an import with one more disk than my US release, some "B" sides. Gentle Giant: Octopus is an import, on the Vertigo label. I am unfamiliar but in talking about it with another guy at Encore later in the day, he implied these Vertigo releases are great.
We'll see how they all clean up...My daughter Allie bought a bunch so we'll probably run the Spin Clean later. Best way to clean 20 records, as long as there are two running the assembly line!
Speaking of Encore Records, I hear some blistering blues coming out of the speakers and he is spinning the first Love Sculpture album. Man, it sounded good! I had just cleaned their second (and last) album the day before and listened to half of it. It's what Dave Edmunds did before solo/Nick Lowe/Rockpile and it's a gem. So I asked about buying it and got a story about how it's part of an estate and it's on consignment and it doesn't have a price and blahblahblah. I have a feeling they want some serious coin for it but they weren't ready to say just yet (the owner wasn't there).
Paul
Laura, XTC made some of the smartest, most literate, tuneful music of the 70's thru early 2000s. Pop at it's finest with incredible mastering and quality sound. Two great songwriters. Start with Skylarking: produced by Rundgren, it's ubiquitous and if you don't like it you're likely not going to be a fan.
My 16 year old daughter is collecting all of them, like Wayner. She's got a way to go, though.
Waxworks is a greatest hits and is another good starting point.

Pete Townshend – Scoop (sealed!)
Pete Townshend & Ronnie Lane - Rough Mix

p.s. thanks Paul for the 411 on Encore in Ann Arbor, MI - I'll be near there on business in a few and will check it out!
Essential wax, for sure! Ann Arbor: 3 stores close by: Encore, PJ's Records and Used CD's and Wazoo. PJ's is upstairs on a tiny triangular block framed by three roads. It is impossible to find but is well worth the trip. Great import section in the back off to the right.
Paul
Paul,
You inspired me with your recent selections and discussion of Talking Heads. I cleaned the Talking Heads at halftime with Disc Doctor, rinse, orthobizyme, steam, final rinse. It looks brand new and plays like it too. :thumb:
Laura
Cleveland!
East Cleveland:
Unfortunately, The Blue Arrow closed early and it's supposed to be great.
Music Saves is half a block away with a disinterested clerk on the day I went. Lots and lots of new vinyl, just a few bins of used.
West Cleveland:
This is a shot of My Mind's Eye. Owner was cool although playing some awful Italian Hard Core I Wanna Kill Your Grandma (I'd assume) Punk:
Down the block is Hodad's which had surprisingly decent selection of stuff, reasonable. Although the clerk, not the owner, implied that the "best stuff" was not in the store and was for sale on eBay.
Anyway, between the two I got:
Graham Parker and Procol Harum are doubles, in case they clean up better than my well worn copies. For Prog fans, if you don't have Shine on Brightly you are missing out! In Held 'Twas in I is classic classic classic stuff.
A buddy turned me on to Jules Shear and the Sneetches. Iron and Wine was written about in the Entry Level Stereophile article a few months back so I thought I'd try it.
Paul

Maria Muldaur - Transblucency
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=45152)
I was real excited about visiting a new store in town yesterday. It was actually an established business that had been bought out by another dealer. I get there and,wow,what an inventory!! Literally,thousands of used LPs of all genres. I'm thinking that I've hit the jackpot until I start digging. $25.00 for a copy of "Let It Be" that's scratched pretty bad, $18.00 for a copy of "Let It Bleed" that is so warped I'm sure it won't track. Well,I'm thinking to myself,"keep looking there's something here that's buyable". I stayed in the place for over an hour and kept seeing the same thing. I tried to deal with the owner and he bluntly said,"Price as marked,take it or leave it". I don't have to tell you what I did,do I? What a let down. I enjoy hearing about new places you guys are finding but I sure would like to find a decent place that I don't have to travel for hours to get to!!! Okay,I'm through whining!!

I've seen the high prices, too. But most of the stores I've frequented are reasonable, around 5 bucks give or take 5 bucks.
Anybody go to record shows? There are a ton of them in Michigan!

I'm in Washington DC this week where I testified at a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on Tuesday. I finished business early today and went vinyl shopping at Red Onion and Som Records and came up with these:
Laura
I happen to have the Mermaid Smile version. The way to "complete" the album, then, is to have the 12" 45 RPM of "Grass" b/w "Dear God."
The latest news is that Skylarking has been reissued, double album at 45 rpm. Turns out that the polarity of the bass was reversed so apparently every prior issue/reissue has been out of phase! Including the original album. Music Direct has it, with a deluxe version with banned booklet material that was never issued. I thought it hadn't been released quite yet. NOW I GOTTA BUY IT!!!!
Try ape.uk.net (http://ape.uk.net). Also check out Pugwash on that site. A great pop band!

Couldn't get to RSD yesterday, but while on business in San Francisco this past week I managed to get to 101 Music...
The Chris Isaak and Robbie Robertson were among several thousand unsorted, barely categorized LPs in the musty, dimly-lit basement store. Found the Savoy Brown and Bloodwin Pig LPs in thirty seconds in a milk crate upstairs.
Also visited the small but awesome upstairs store. Got into a conversation with a very cool gentleman behind the counter.
Me : "Hi, I think I've looked everywhere in both your stores, but have been unable to find any Fleetwood Mac from the Peter Green era. Before I leave, is there any place I might have missed?"
Gentleman: "Yeah, good stuff. I hardly see any of that. If I did I'd probably keep it for my own collection."
Me: "Yeah, I've been looking forever. Only place it seems to be regularly available is on ebay."
Gentleman: "Seems to me that would spoil all the fun?"

As for the Fleetwood Mac... I found a clean copy of Black Magic Woman this week while on business in Troy MI - an Epic reissue double LP containing Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and English Rose... should hold me over until I find originals. The one I'm still hunting for is the initial version of Then Play On (sans "Oh Well").
Found Flipside Records (http://www.shopflipsiderecords.com/) while on business in Troy MI.
I see there are 3 locations, are any close to Cook County hospital, I may be there in early May consulting.
I just checked my copy. I have the 13 track LP there was 14 tracks on the original same as the UK Lp
Only one copy??? :lol:
Been away for a few days, the day I left this arrived in the post

Yesterday's garage sale finds... The seller had about 500 or more really classic titles with many original pressings. Too bad that due to previously being improperly stored, most of the records covers were ruined to cats (pee and scratch), mice and moisture.
77 is new to my collection
Laura
T Heads 77 is my favorite, Pulled Me Up is my favorite song. My copy is still good but it's been hard to find a clean one for my daughter. U don't see it every day!
I found both in the New Arrivals bin at 4000 holes about 1 month apart and both were in NM condition.
Don't know Chicago that well. But back in the day, I thought Cook County was in an iffy neighborhood...

Yes. It has the original paperwork with it.
Paid $24 for it. Maybe too much, but I see them going for about $50 on ebay.

Yeah, I have started looking. Found 2 in the UK, but neither shipped to the US. Anyway, now I know it's around...it will show up. I can be patient about it.
Nice to see them in a nice set like that, especially when I don't have any RM on LP (just getting back into this).
It's a shame you can't make it over here on a vinyl buying trip.
You can still get most Roxy Music LP's in the £1-2 bins at local fairs - mostly new original pressings too!
Are there any in particular you're after and I'll keep a look out?

The two Hendrix reissues really suprised me. They are both very well done. The bass has been brought up a bit (the originals had typical, for the time , compressed bass. Both are very quiet. Well worth the money as far as I'm concerned. :thumb:

I'm definitely living in the wrong place. :evil:
No wonder you've got so much vinyl to pick and choose from with local stores like that.
Another great catch Bill 8)
You really have to go thru all of them as so many are just junk. But with about 25 rows you can usually find at least 15
If not not they are only $1 apiece
I have Zero patience for going through $1 bins. At 4000 Holes Bob screens all the used albums he buys so I am pretty confident that the records in the regular bins have a good chance of being VG+ or better. He has told me that what he puts in the $1 bins are records he won't pay for or the worst copies of records of which he has several copies. Maybe I'm wrong, but I assume other record store owners follow a similar philosphy.I have never,repeat, never found anything in a dollar bin that I would buy. Bill seems to have the best luck in the world !!!! Way to go man. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

At last I have an original release copy of the Quo's Ma Kelly's Greasy Spoon
One of two "little gem" eBay finds this week.
After a Steam Clean it's pretty much perfect - all for the princely sum of 99 of our British Pennies (OK plus a couple of quid P&P)
Am very pleased to have this long sought LP in the collection.
All I need now is the 2nd Album "Spare Parts" - These are like Rocking Horse Doo-Dah! :P

You sir, are simply amazing. :notworthy: :bowdown: I've never heard of 75% of these records/artists. A couple sound like jazz or classical which means they would never find their way to my turntable. :lol:
Come on Laura only 5 jazz titles of 18 lps :lol:
That means there are 5 titles that will never find my record shelves let alone my turntable. :lol:
Very impressive. I got hooked on the Quo when I watched the Live Aid DVD. Any recommendations on must have Quo albums.
Thanks
Maybe you could search out a good hypnotist :wave: :eyebrows:
Found time to get over to a local Record Fair at Royal Leamington Spa this morning.
Can't let Bside, Biz and Pumpkin find all the goodies :D
I have a lot of Steve Harley, the one you picked up is my fave.
Paul
Meanwhile, Davey, that youtube clip is incredible. Few people have vocal delivery like Harley (B Ferry comes to mind) and he is having a ball singing it! Besides handclaps, I'm a sucker for songs that have those brief silent breaks and then explode right back into the song. And those "ooh-ooh-la-la-la's" just hit the spot. You've made my morning, thanks!
Fleetwood Mac - Rumors (45 RPM Reissue)
Oneohtrix Point Never - Returnal

Paul
OPN is a musician/producer from Brooklyn, NY (Daniel Lopatin). He mostly utilizes vintage synthesizers...for lack of a better description, it is ambient / drone / atmospheric prog / electronic / kraut / etc. Falls in some of the same categories as early Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, some Eno, Kraftwerk, et all.
The first track is a little too abrasive but the rest of the album is gorgeous if you are at all into this kind of thing. One of my favorite records of 2010. Editions Mego is the label.
Anyway, to be honest Paul, I have been envious of a lot of your finds and collection in this thread! So many great records!!! Such great variety, which is a must in my little world.
I just got back up and running with a new table and was happy to finally post some of my own "catches."

I recently posted that I finally bought the Neil Young Archieves 1-4. I got home today from out of town and gave them a spin. The first LP is pretty much the same as the original but a bit quieter. Everyone Knows This is Nowhere is much better than the original.The bass is brought forward in the mix and vocals seem a lot clearer. So far,nothing to warrant the price of the set. As soon as I dropped the needle on After the Gold Rush,I heard the songs like I'm sure they were meant to be!!!! A true "holy s*&t moment!!!! It's an entirely different recording compared to the original.Harvest is very well done but not to the extent as Gold Rush. So, are these recordings worth the price? I guess to the rabid Young fans yes, but to the casual listener,probably not.I'm personally pleased with the set especially After the Gold Rush. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
Here's an interesting, lucky and kinda' rare find that I rescued from a Goodwill Store yesterday.

Watch it, any wider and that TT won't fit! :)

I have a lot of these, they are essential. I think you came upon a stash of personal records from a real music listener. Used to be I'd go to people's houses and snoop their record collection to get a good idea of what they were about (does that make me shallow?). This would be someone I could hang with. In fact, I could hang with you now! Paul
Yea Paul, you hit the nail right on the head. These albums were all from a personal collection.. :P

Hi All,
Am currently surrounded by my latest DISCOGS order :D
It all stemmed from myself and my good lady staying up late one night a couple of weeks ago watching a great BBC documentry featuring Carole King and James Taylor, centred around the Troubadour reunion tour.
I realised I had no James Taylor in my collection - this needed to be fixed quickly :P
So did my usual, see who had what I wanted in stock at a fair price, then the fun begins of looking to see what else they've got that might be of interest.
And wow :o
One of the vendors had loads of stuff, but more importantly some albums I'd got in my longstanding want list.
Namely these;
MAGNUM - KINGDOM OF MADNESS
JETHRO TULL - BROADSWORD AND THE BEAST
MONTROSE - MONTROSE
JUDAS PRIEST - POINT OF ENTRY
All original UK releases and in NM condition
and..
RUSH - A SHOW OF HANDS (I caught them on this tour - spectacularly good)
Original Dutch release again in NM condition
Boy am I happy to have these discs in my collection at long last 8)
The James Taylor discs (also NM) are;
SWEET BABY JAMES - German Pressing
MUD SLIDE SLIM - US pressing
Just to top up the order I also added;
MICHAEL JACKSON- THRILLER (to replace a rather old copy)
CAMEL - THE SNOW GOOSE
BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST - EVERYONE IS EVERYBODY ELSE
SAMMY HAGAR - SAMMY HAGAR
LINDISFARNE - FOG ON THE TYNE
FOCUS - FOCUS 3
These vary from VG to NM
Free P&P on an order of this size and very, very fair prices
Locked away in the listening room with a little glass of Red, not sure when I'll emerge :green:
This is a great hobby :thumb:
Cheers
Dave
EDIT: It's no good, now moved out of my little listening den and fired up the MA's in the main living room :icon_twisted:
The house is now being filled with the stunning sounds of Rush :D
23 years ago I was watching the boys doing their thing at Wembley Arena 8)

Nice catch Davey enjoy
In red are groups or artists that I have no CD or LP by :dunno:.........Bill
Nice catch Davey. Sounds like another good Discogs experience.
I haven't had time to play Litttle Creatures yet. I can't stay home long enough to clean and play what I'm buying.
Yesterday's purchase from a store in downtown Santa Fe NM called "The Good Stuff." They had 3 bins of records called "The Really Good Stuff." a little more expensive, but every record was mint or NM and clean. Smalol store with a limited but quality selection. Also carried used books. Really nice owner who moved to Santa Fe from Chicago where he frequented Reckless Records.

Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets (Japanese repress)
2500 mostly in good condition records. They are classical with heavy emphasis on vocal: opera, chorals, cantatas, etc. The guy was a retired singer.
Got lucky again this week. :D Here's this week's .50-Cent yard sale finds. All in near mint condition. Score! :thumb:
Din,
you must have the patience of Job and a little luck to find near mint records at a yard sale.
The only time I bought used records from a private party was when a neighbor up the street was moving and her baby sitter (who was a friend from church) told me she was selling 6 to 8 boxes of albums. She had a list prepared. I tried to cherry pick the list but was told "all or none" so I bought the entire lot for $250. It turns out there were lots of bootleg live albums in the collection by Tom Petty, Elivs Costello, Pink Floyd, Rod Stewart, the Who and others. That made the buy worthwhile. There also were extensive Elvis and Frank Sinatra collections (which remain in my basement). The only crap in the the entire collection (at least crap to me) were the Kiss albums which I immediately gave to Bob at 4000 Holes to sell.
Nice job on the yard sale finds :thumb:
Laura
Rim,
how did you find a collection like this? I would love to find someone's 2500 record "rock" collection for sale.
Laura
At .50 cents... well... just don't know what to say!? :angel:
Really? How do you pay half a cent? :)
Really? How do you pay half a cent? :)
I recently bought Before and After Science. I was about to pick this one up with the OBI strip Jap version but had it on good authority from the store owner that it might be some kinda bootleg. The Bef and Aft Science record sounds good anyway, I would assume the owner is correct, he sells it but wants his customers to know.
Otherwise I either have already OR would buy everything in your stash!
Paul
I was in Paris,
Vinyl was EXPENSIVE!

I know you don't hang out at the 1 dollar bin, but looking through the record store's "catch of THEIR day" is often best, or in the "new arrivals" bin. I've been similarly lucky in the past. In fact, I sent Pumpkinman copies of the Kinks Arthur and Lola, two records you don't see every day. The store owner had JUST taken them in!
My middle daughter is going the Michigan State in East Lansing and they have a great record store there, but alas, there's no separate bin for the new arrivals...

thanks Davey. They had several BJH albums, but the others did not meet my NM or VG++ standards.
$ bins are not in my foreseeable future. I'm sure the Pumpkinman will try to convert me next week in Cleveland :lol: when we meet to check the Rock n Roll HOF off of my/their bucket list. :thumb:

From what I've read making a convert out of you Laura would be difficult at best :lol:

And the new Bon Iver, something Laura likes, I'm sure. There must be something wrong with me, I don't care for the Bon Iver, I really don't like Fleet Foxes, I barely understand Animal Collective...
Paul
Paul, not liking Fleet Foxes? Wow. Both their albums just bowl me over. Brought their first album to AKFest, and had a ton of folks asking for the title after using it to audition some systems (find the massed vocals and their harmonies are great for speaker evaluation).
Actually I have not heard Bon Ivor (other than a song on a Paste Magazine CD). I've had two of their albums in my hands several times, but haven't pulled the trigger. Maybe I should give it a try. I LOVE Fleet Foxes. The harmonies remind me of the Hollies and CS&N. Saw them open for Wilco soon after their first album was released. I have one Animal Collective album--Merriweather Post Pavilion and I have mixed feelings about the record. Not sure I would buy another one.
Laura
Somehow I thought you posted that you had bought Bon Iver. I think I like For Emma, the first album, better.
Paul
It did take some time for Fleet Foxes to really grab me for some reason. But once they did...
Paul do you have Bon Iver on vinyl? How is the quality of the recording? I have seen mixed reviews of the vinyl quality...

In a stupid moment I didn't buy it when it was originally available before Classic Records took a dump.Bout the same. Trying to get her to eat and poop. Also get her blood work straightened out. Keep praying.

I auditioned for his band and got beat out....LOL...super nice guy, and very intelligent, the Genius of Frank Zappa will live on in the world for years to come........RIP Frank... :D
Vinyl Lady,
You'd just better get out there and pick up some Zappa before you turn 64.
After listening to samples from Hot Rats and 3 other Zappa albums tonight I don't believe I will be adding any Zappa to my collection before I turn 64. Not my cup of tea musically speaking.
decal,I just listened to "Who's Next". Initial verdict... Not a stellar recording but way better than my original LP in every way. Definitely better than any RBCD I've ever heard but not as enjoyable as the SHM-SACD version. Well worth the money in my opinion, humble as it may be!!! :thumb:
How does that version of Who's Next sound? I've only got a bargain bin copy with tons of noise. It's high on my to-replace list, but I haven't been sure whether to go with a new reissue or keep an eye out for a clean used copy...

Hot Rats: his magnum opus. Don't get turned off by the lyrics to Willy The Pimp. Listen to Peaches en Regalia, surely you've heard it. I'm not a jazz fan but this is jazzy that I like.

Been meaning to post these for a while....
Elvis Costello + Mobile Fidelity

YOU DA MAN! I have all of these also and they are fantastic! But I think you have to turn the volume up more than usual, do you agree?

I am such a sucker for ECM, especially from the 70s.
Jazz record label from Munich.
Reliably good recordings and pressings in my experience.
Artists who have recorded on ECM include Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, John Abercrombie, Gary Peacock.
Thanks. I thought it might be an abbreviation for a type of music I missed out on in the 70's.
It's JAZZ Laura!!!! Look out!!!!
Paul
I know, but I don't think it is ever going to happen. Jim Goulding has tried to interest me with Coltrane and Miles Davis but I just couldn't get there--not my cup of tea music-wise.

What is ECM? :scratch:
ECM means Edition of Contemporary Music and was founded by Manfred Eicher in 1969.
It's a great label with over a thousand albums behind them.
Snagged a few additions and upgrades while on business in Troy MI the last few weeks...

Laura,
I'll be curious to hear what you think of the She&Him Christmas album. That one is on my radar.
Happy Thanksgiving!
And how did you manage to pull those in early?
Tim
OK. I'm kinda excited and I will report back later tonite. I think I picked up a clean Led Zeppelin II with RL in the dead wax for 4 bucks. I've posted this in my wish list before, RL stands for Robert Ludwig and legend has it they are fantastic sounding.
So, off to the Loricraft I go...
I had no brothers or sisters so I can't imagine writing my NAME on the front of a record cover. Sadly, "Larry" also appears on the label BOTH SIDES (in case someone was gonna split the record in half sideways and steal ONE side?).
It's the narrow "RL"
Can you see it? (barely visible on the iPhone picture)

So we hit 4 record stores in Baltimore and my 17 year old daughter scooped up a bunch of goodies. Redd Kross "Neurotica." A white label promo of Jobriath's first album, I never heard of him, he's of the Bowie era and is one of the first openly gay performers in rock, it's good stuff. Dead Milkmen, Alice Cooper, Roxy Music "Stranded" and some Cramps she found on the cheap. Clash "Give 'Em Enough Rope." I have created a monster!!!! :wink:
Anyway, if truth be known, SHE found the Led Zep for the old man!

Did you live in a fraternity house in college? If you lived in a sorority or fraternity house in college you likely wrote your name on the cover and the label to make sure it made it back to your room. A lot of my 60's records have my name on the cover and label.

Still didn't stop some good stuff disappearing though :evil:
My Daughter just informed me that she ordered this for my Christmas present. Did I mention that I love my Daughter?
Bill, I like the original better. I'm glad they released it again. All this "politically correct" crap chaps my ass.

Elvis Costello "My Aim is True" (haven't spun that one yet)
No, I am new to Elvis Costello, so not gonna spring for the new high $ versions. And I try to stay away from 45 rpms because my ass likes to stay on the couch a bit longer than they permit.
So the clean looking $2.99 used copy it was.
So far I have grabbed King of America and My Aim is True. Open to suggestions on what to look for next.

1. The Nice featuring Davey O'List 20th Anniversary
I don't know about this. Is it like The Beatles with Pete Best????
Paul
Call me stupid, but I just bought this for $xxx.xx
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/ce/Yes_Talk_cover,jpg.jpg)
Wayner :duh:
Paul here's what I found on Davey O'List
Davy O'List is a figure out of '60s British rock who is nearly as elusive as Syd Barrett -- an ironic comparison since O'List actually played briefly in Pink Floyd at a point in their history when Barrett was starting to fade out. A guitarist and singer who also played trumpet, O'List's first gig of any note was with the Attack, a psychedelic outfit that grew out of a band called Soul System. His chance meeting with the latter group's Richard Shirman led to O'List's joining the band on lead guitar in 1966. The Attack's lineup was never truly stable, however, and in less than a year O'List was gone, recruited by Andrew Oldham for membership in the Nice, which was to have been a Booker T. & the M.G.'s-type backing band for P.P. Arnold. The Nice developed a sound of their own and soon split from Arnold, with O'List handling lead guitar and the vocals on their first single. The guitarist's style and temperament, however, didn't mesh well with that of Keith Emerson, the group's flamboyant keyboard player, who had plans of his own for the Nice's sound. O'List left after the first album and the recording of a song or two that later turned up on the group's second long-player. He passed briefly through the lineup of the Misunderstood, and intersected with Pink Floyd just as that band was looking for a successor to Syd Barrett, whose personal instability due to drug use was becoming a major problem, but O'List only lasted a few gigs. He next turned up with Roxy Music for one tour, and he subsequently played on Bryan Ferry's Another Time, Another Place LP in 1974 -- another recording, a single song with O'List, ended up on Let's Stick Together, but by 1975 he'd moved on to a short-lived association with the glitter rock cult band Jet. Since then, O'List's name has mostly surfaced on reissues of the various '60s bands with which he recorded, although he did release a solo album, Flight of the Eagle, in 1997. He remains an elusive and mysterious figure on the British rock scene, some 35 years after he started out.
Wayner is it rare on vinyl ???
We got a new used record store today in West Central Illinois :dance:
Bad Kitty Music

A couple of long wanted discs and a few others inspired by the contributions to this and the "Listened to recently" threads.
Will post up when they arrive.
Enjoy listening to the new aquisitions - very nice.

Lee,
where are these record fairs? I'm green with envy. The only record fair we have in Spokane is the annual public radio station record sale in Feb.
Laura
Hi Laura
I live in the UK and we have record fairs over here all the time, the last one was at Wolverhampton

Jefferson Starship - Red Octopus
Renaissance - Live At Carnegie Hall
Nice, The - The Best Of The Nice
Santana - Festivál
Santana - Lotus
Rory Gallagher - Rory Gallagher
Annie Haslam - Annie In Wonderland
Hawkwind - Space Ritual
A number of these selections have been heavily influenced by the Vinyl Circle crew who regularly post here and the "Listened to recently" thread - Thanks :thumb:
Santana's triple live Lotus, Hawkwinds double live Space Ritual and (believe it or not) Katrina and the Waves, have all been long languishing in my "Wanted List" :green:
All but one appear to be New and Unplayed, the Nice album is played but in superb condition.
A very, very Happy Camper here and lots of nice new vinyl to spin over the festive holidays.
Can I sign off this post by wishing all a very Happy Christmas with lots of spinning in 2012.
Cheers

Hi Lee - I try and get to the Vinyl Bank Fairs when possible
We've probably rubbed shoulders in the bins in the past :D

Gave my oldest daughter my well-worn American copy. This one is the 180 gm reissue that just came out, packaging is great. Sound maybe not so great. I like my 1979 MoFi a bit better in a Side1 to Side1 face off. I'll look for a British copy in London this summer...
Paul
For those of us who are new to the vinyl buying scene, where would be the best place to pick up a MoFi copy of DSOTM? Discogs? Ebay? Amazon? All of the above?
Harry Pearson really slammed its sound quality in the latest issue of The Absolute Sound. Does your copy have a lot of surface noise? A lot of reviews on Amazon complain about surface noise. I have an orginal EMI pressing, the MoFi and the 30th Anniversary. I think the MoFi sounds the best. I bought the new remastered vinyl of Wish You Were Here and it sounds terrific.
Laura
Laura,
My DSOTM new copy is very quiet.
Jeff:
I have the MoFi 1979, help me here, what is the UHQR? Ultra High Quality Recording? Is this the "newer" reawakened MoFi of the 2000's?

Vinyl Lovers is a Russian reissue label: link (http://www.forcedexposure.com/labels/vinyl.lovers.russian.federation.html)
I guess, their records are pressed by GZ Digital Media in the Czech Republic: link (http://www.gzcd.cz/vinyl-27/)

Today's acquisitions
Just picked up AK&US Paper Airplane on vinyl yesterday
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51N73-LcYoL._SS400_.jpg)
WOW, what a disappointment. It's dull and compressed, no dynamics. The MP3 download (included) sounds better than the vinyl.
Don't waste your money on this one :duh:
Bill, Sweet haul :P are those price tags right? did you get PFM for $2.99? :green:
Jim
bummer :( what was the label this was pressed on?
No Jim that was an old (original) sticker The price was $4.99
The most expensive LP was the Zombies at $13.99 (import Decca)
For those interested the total for the LPs was $50
Hi Jlappy,
I checked the label and it said it was Rounder Records and this printing was manufactured and distributed by Concord.
I talked to one of the other guys here (Blackmore) and he mentioned the CD was pretty dull too.
Just doing some quick math, the running time on the CD is about 45 minutes. This is a single album. That means the running time per side is right at 22 minutes. WAY too long to provide an open and dynamic release. The old 'standard' used to be right at 17 minutes per side.
Guess I should have put two and two together and done some math before I plopped down my cash :duh:
Pearson also slammed the Cat Stevens and everyone else has praised it. I have a few Lee Hulko US pressings and a MoFi 1970's. I can wait for an Island pressing from England...maybe...Mikey liked the new one...
Paul
Which one you need Paul ?? Let me know.
Since you have jumped on the Camel wagon, might I suggest, Moonmadness, Rain Dances, Breathless, I can see your house from here, Snow Goose, Mirage, The Single Factor and Pressure Point.
I have several autographed by Andy and they certainly are a treasure.

This order has been strongly influenced by you guys 8)
The Moody's very much on the back of Laura's recent comments and one missing as was.
The Camel, following recent tic-tac led by Jim and Bill.
Added Time Honoured Ghosts to my meagre BJH collection following a few posts a couple of months back.
Thanks all :thumb:
In fact all are ones I've been wanting to add and great to get from one vendor in a single shot.
Yep! Another excellent DISCOGS experience.

Purchased these at Twist and Shout in Denver.
The Moody Blues --Seventh Sojourn Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab 1/2 speed master
The Moody Blues --On the Threshold of a Dream Nautilus Super Disk
Roger Waters --The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking Uncensored cover
Pretty excited to find the MoFi of one of my favorite albums and the Nautilus was a bonus find. Both are in pristine mint condition. One of the workers at the store said someone brought about 50 MoFi releases in to the store earlier in the week and most of them had sold. I sure wish I had been there when they came into the store. They had 3 copies of the Roger Waters album, two had their covers censored so I bought the uncensored one--and the vinyl happened to be in the best condition of the 3.
Definitely jealous of that Roger Waters Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking pick up. Keeping my eye on Discogs for a good copy........

@ vinyl-lady, I can never ever (EVER!) find anything by the Kinks on the used rack!
You are absolutely right. I've asked store owners, it goes out as soon as it comes in. You can find the Low Budget era Kinks but Village Green, Arthur, Something Else...well, just about impossible. Keep looking. Ask the owner if he has any collections that haven't been priced yet. That's how I snagged a copy of Lola and Arthur for the pumpkinman!Paul

All in all I'm very pleased. I'll be heading back down to Stereo Jack's, that's for sure.
Tim
Quite a haul, I know nothing about Jazz records except it seems there's a ton of them out there to explore. Maybe when I retire, along with classical...
Have fun spinning!
Paul
Thanks Paul, they all sound great. One of the fun things that I really like about jazz is the exploring. You listen to one album, and really like it. You find yourself in a vinyl shop going through their jazz section and come upon an album you're not familiar with, but then you look at the personnel playing on it and realize that you know a lot of those guys from other albums. It makes it a lot easier to pick up music by artists I either outright don't know, or artists I may not be all that familiar with. An artist may be a leader on one album, and a sideman on another. They mix and match a lot and it makes things really interesting.
Tim
Had half an hour to spare in Stratford while one of my daughters was having a music lesson.
Popped in here for the first time
They had a little back room with a small selection of vinyl

Keep posting, I'll be in London for two days in June...I thought you didn't get there often?
Paul
Already have this on CD, but enjoy it so much that I had to own it on vinyl.

Sweet haul Laura! Nice traiding too! :)
Thanks Jim, and thanks for the BJH rec :thumb:
How do you get all of them delivered at the same time? Are all from the same seller? :scratch:
Wow Delta Wave, quite a great haul. How is the MSFL First, Last & Always? I noticed that they will also be releasing Floodland.
I don't think they could have made it much better short of the band re-recording it... not the best recording in the world. But good music none-the-less. The last copy I had of it was on cassette after all... lol.
Looking forward to the MFSL Floodland. That was the biggie album of theirs for me.
I went to 4000 Holes today to pick up the two Jellyfish albums, one on green vinyl and the other blue. First time on vinyl in the USA. Also picked up the new Fray album.

Some cracking W/E finds there Jim and P'Man :thumb:
You the man, or should I say Pumpkin!!!!!!! A PM is headed your way.
I have the "first" album on order:
http://www.audiobasics.com/acatalog/Elton_John__Elton_John_-_LP.html#aCRLP005
From Canada. I never owned it before, I have several somewhat noisy copies and of course the Brit is supposed to be the best as UNI "screwed it up."
Fremer reviewed it recently but it is not available in the States.
Paul
Just ordered it. Thanks Paul
Laura
I am in West Palm Beach visiting my aunt. About 12 miles away is Confusion Records:
Some cracking W/E finds there Jim and P'Man :thumb:
And this Earmark Kinks record, Something Else, truly a great one up there with Village Green and Arthur and Lola and Muswell Hillbillies. Looking on the web, this one either sounds great or is reviled by those who own it.
Some of the thickest vinyl I've ever seen. It's like a 78! From what I read it might be MONO but I haven't looked at the sleeve carefully enough. Will have to listen when I get back to Michigan.

I'm in AZ playing golf and shopping for vinyl
Wayner,
nice haul! I have all but DCD and listen to the other 4 all the time. The King is Dead is my favorite Decemberists album. The other two Arcade Fire albums are really good too. The second, Neon Bible was recorded in an old limestone church in Quebec.
Nice picks! Even though Arcade Fire have been adopted by hipsters I still dig them. You should give their previous two a listen as well, they're all very good.
Life doesn't get much sweeter than that :drool:
I like music the same way I like wine. Don't matter what color it is, I either like it or I don't.
I am happy to hear that there are some new bands with some actual talent, putting out some decent music. I, again, have faith in the music. I know that I have to expand my musical tastes and that is difficult for me (obsessive/compulsive), but If I have a small bit at a time, I can overcome the strangeness of new music (or anything else for that matter).
:lol:
I had some local store credit burning a hole in me pocket :)
The New York Rock Ensemble – Roll Over
J.J. Cale – Really

Got these this morning from what's fast becoming a regular little haunt - The Shakespeare Hospice Book and Music Store.
The way I look at it is I'm making a nice little charitable donation and these are just a bit of a bonus :D
Unfortunately my other half doesn't quite see it this way :wink:
(http://db.tt/qQulEEca)
The two Elton John's look and sound as if they've never been out of the cover
The other three are used, but no scratches and will steam up nicely.
I so want a copy of Aerial Ballet by Nilsson. I've got my eyes peeled. Missed a copy by seconds at a record show last year; it looked to be in good condition for only 10 bucks. But alas, I missed it.
Didja spin that Elton John yet?
And BTW, Jellyfish is a new FAVORITE of mine. I liked the first album best. This week I like the second album best.
I would assume your The Yes Album is a double? I can't imagine you don't have one!
You guys are all nuts. I suspect Laura is the worst. She is buying LPs all the time!!!!!
It's like a sick, little, Freudian illness. It creeps in slowly at first, then picks up speed and before you know it, your planning an addition to the house. No, not for entertaining, but for storage........

Ok, I'm going out on a limb here:
You see that? The one in the upper left? Yeah, you know it...Barry Manilow Live, Baby!
I confess I am probably the biggest Manilow fan here but what the hell, it's a good story.
It started with a monthly trip to Good Will to look for vinyl. I go back to the few bins of vinyl and flip through the usual Christmas, country, time life multi-discs. All of a sudden CJ (Trans Am here at AC) pipes up with "here's a Barry Manilow one." I spin around with excitement and YES! It's a Barry Manilow Live album. A album from my youth (hell, it may have been mine from the past). I had this double LP and I think I had the 8 track because after listening to it I sense the fade out, click, fade in during certain songs that the 8track used to do.
Ok, don't get the idea that I listen to Manilow every month. It's more like every day...just kidding :wink: He reappeared when I ripped my CD collection to hard disc. I ripped a greatest hits disc but it didn't have the VSM or Jump Shout Boggie medley that I reminisced about. Hey, my kids drink Dr. Pepper and CJ loves Pepsi, I never had State Farm Ins. but I like extra crispy KFC.
So, after a few songs and a couple of days the kids ask for more Barry :o Probably because I've been ripping chorus lines as Manilow songs bloom in my head. :singing: he he he. I go get the collection issue I haven't ripped yet hoping to find the VSM. No, not on this 4 CD set. But wait, there is something better. A VHS tape I have never watched. circa 1992. Yeah, we're watching this TONIGHT! Too bad CJ is ripping up a 4 wheeler at a friends house...he'll have to watch it on the second viewing, yeah tomorrow :banana piano:
I doubt I would have ever have bought this live CD. But for 2 dolla, no halla it was a no brainer. The albums are in pretty good shape too. Pretty quiet and clean through out but there is about one minuete of pops as you work through a scratch.
I don't expect any responses to this post as I know fellow fans will prefer to remain silent. However, this double LP did bring two adolescents another step closer to being a music lover, audiophile and possibly...vinyl lovers.

Davey,
Of course I have that "import" version of Wizzard's Brew! You just KNOW you're a Roy Wood fad if you love "You Can Dance Your Rock and Roll" and even "A Jolly Cup of Tea."
However, I may draw the line at Main Street...I think it's CD only and I have a CD copy, not the original CD. I mean, what kinda fan AM I???
Paul
As recommended by Jim Goulding, a NM (looks unplayed) Love Devotion Surrender arrived today along with a few other goodies as part of another great little DISCOGS order :D
There's one in there that I know Paul will appreciate :wink:
Need to pop out now - listening will have to wait a little bit.
Right that's it - No more vinyl buying for me for at least a month :cry:
But I think in the UK that's the equal to 2 days here right ?? :lol:
Did a little LP shopping today..........

Nice! I think you will really like The Decemberists live album and the remaster of WYWH is fantastic.
Yes - Nice selection Kinger :thumb:
Nothing like the Sun was a bit of a gem on release.
Double album 3 tracks per side, I remember when it came out the audio press swooning over it.
A good one to dig out if visitors question why I stick with this outdated medium :D

Paul

I received a defective disk and have returned it. Waiting on the replacement which they say they will send as soon as they receive mine. Can't wait to receive it and hear it.
Hope it works out on the Elton John with the Canadian connection. Such a roundabout way to get vinyl, eh? Good luck!
Paul
Thanks. I have been in email contact with the seller so it sounds like it will work out. But it is a bummer and has to go through customs both ways so it will take about two weeks total.Don't know why but Canada is notoriously slow, ime.
Don't know what Mordecai Smyth is but I had money in PayPal so I sent some pounds to England and got this nice LP. First listen is a bit brit pop, Beatlesque (to quote an overused phrase), smart, catchy stuff.

Chocolate Watch Band? I dunno, ask me in a week. Maybe it was my imagination, but I thought I saw a bunch of pumpkin seeds spreading the word on this one. Yeah it's a Pumpkin thing. I love psychedelia and I have a feeling this stuff is on the garage side of that genre. So true Paul. In the meantime, I'll bet you'll love Jellyfish. The two albums that were reissued recently are terrific (thanks Laura!). I found colored vinyl on Amazon, I think subsequent ones are gonna be black plastic.

Paul,
Lemme know how you like the Grimes on vinyl. Missed her sold out show here but sounds like the live show wasn't great (partly due to a doofus on the soundboard). Not as good as the album it seems.

Just picked up Little Feat's Dixie Chicken on MoFi for $10. My first LP of theirs. Really dug it.
I have both the original and the MoFi and the original is better. MoFi rounded off the highs. I was with 3 other Lttle Feat fans listening on a great system and we compared them and all 3 of us thought the original was better and more true to what took place in the recording studio. Try to find a clean copy of the original, you won't be disappointed.
Laura
Yeah, I'd read that about the MoFi as well. But hey, a $10 MoFi was a good bargain, good risk.
I also picked up "The Jazz Piano", a live recording of Ellington, Earl Hines, Billy Taylor, Mary Lou Williams, Willie "the Lion" Smith, with a signature and date of the concert that simply says "Jazz Show! 7/7/66" with a stylized W. So it's signed by either Williams or Willie. Anyone have this LP? I need to learn more about it.

Crabby Appleton – Crabby Appleton
Uriah Heep – Uriah Heep Live
Family – It's Only A Movie
This was the first Family album I ever owned. Wound up listening to it quite a bit because back in the day, if you bought it you just about HAD to listen to it! It was because of a positive review in Stereo Review, probably Steve Simels, my favorite reviewer, and is an underrated album by a group that was on its way out.

Holy Cow! I have this record, too. I bought a sealed copy off eBay a few years back but it must not be original because the copyright date is later than the original release date. In Any Event: if you are unfamiliar, listen right away to Dead And Gone. It received fairly frequent airplay in NYC back in the day and it is a great song with multiple parts. From what I remember, my copy has limited fidelity. Is yours an earlier copy?

Mom's Apple Pie was an American ten-member rock band from Warren, Ohio. They were best known for their album cover, and also for the voice of the lead singer Bob Fiorino.
The band released two albums, Mom's Apple Pie in 1972 and Mom's Apple Pie II in 1973. A third album was recorded but was not released until 2011. Their manager was Larry Patterson, and they recorded on a record label owned by Terry Knight, Brown Bag Records. The band enjoyed a successful career nationally and toured extensively across the United States. Venues included a wide array of college campuses, clubs, concert halls, the Whiskey A-Go-Go in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden. They performed with such artists as The Doobie Brothers and David Bowie. Patterson, booked the demo session with record producer Kenny Hamann, at the Cleveland Recording Company. Pia Knight, Terry's wife, overheard the demo being played in one of the rooms in the back of the recording studio, and convinced her husband to sign the group.

Magician's Birthday and One replace noisy copies from college days. I bought the Head East album primarily for the cover although I like Flat as a Pancake. Paul, I am looking forward to hearing the live Crack the Sky album.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Where you there yesterday, (Thurs)?
I was going to stop in but changed mind at last minute, but would have swung by to meet you and say hello.
I'll be back in DC the week of May 7th if you're around.
Gene
Grateful Dead - Dark Star (5/4/72)
Nektar – Magic Is A Child
Cool album. Not as good as their classic stuff with Roye Albrighton on guitar, but it still gets a few spins around my house.
And of course it has, the then 12 year old, Brooke Shields on the cover.

I went out for a walk and found these at $3 eachHey P'man. I have that San Francisoc Ltd. lp. Those East Bay ladies, to include Tracy Nelson, sound pretty good, huh? Good arrangements, great sound. The only digital recordings that come close to the dynamics on it are from Mapleshade, IME. "Dafos" on Reference Recordings has to be included, also. It's the Dead's Mickey Hart composing and blowing my mind. Who knew? I think both are 45rpm without looking. Cheers

Sweet pick up on the 10000 Maniacs vinyl lady. In my HS days I worked in a music store and that album got a ton of play from me while I was working. Never ended up purchasing the CD for some reason, but I think the vinyl is on my list to pick up.
Stopped off at Record Connection in Lancaster on way home from conference and picked up some things, starting with King Crimson.

Oh man, 45 RPM Live at Village Vanguard. Bet that sounds incredible.
Looks like a lot of buying will be going on....here... (http://www.stereophile.com/content/vinylpalooza) :thumb:
It sounds fantastic. Though I wish they would have put a different song on side 4 instead of repeating Chasin The Trane (but with no EQ)
Oh wow :o
Just sprang for a 45 RPM Music Matters "Out to Lunch" by Dolphy. Very excited. Also very nice that their Fathers Day SALE10 code applies to items not usually eligible for discount. Very nice.
Out To Lunch is in my top 5 Music Matters releases, surprised that one is still available!Yeah, I was surprised too. When I saw it at Elusive Disc, I pounced! Then I pounced on the 180g Harvest and the Sony/Legacy Kind of Blue to get the order above $100 for free shipping. The other 2 were already discounted and I got an additional 10% off. Good music on its way!

MFSL Beatles- Rubber Soul thru Abbey Road
Classic Records- Hot Rats and Who's Next
And now I back off the vinyl purchases, and eat ramen for a month or so.
I'm biting, tell me more about the rush albums. Seems you have to be a member to search popmarket.

I'm biting, tell me more about the rush albums. Seems you have to be a member to search popmarket.
Good luck with vinyl at Pitchfork Fest this weekend:
Zappa "Hot Rats" (Blue Label Bizarre!)
Mingus "Ah Um" (70s pressing)
Pink Floyd "Animals" (sounded much better once the caked on beer/bongwater was cleaned off)
Emmylou Harris "Quarter Moon in a 10 Cent Town" (MFSL!)
Led Zeppelin S/T
Talking Heads "'77"
Keith Jarrett "My Song"
And all are quiet as can be. There is a skip on the Mingus, but for what I paid for all these, I made out like a bandit!
Laura, check the dead wax on the Rundgren Runt.
If it is not stamped "STERLING" in block letters, not handwritten, it is probably a bootleg. This is one of the most widely bootlegged albums I have run across.
Paul
Sorry, Laura. It's a bootleg despite the label and album cover!
Paul
No "STERLING" in the dead wax. The label is Bearsville, which is Rundgren's original label. On the back it says distributed by Ampex Records.
Upon its release in June 1970 the album was issued with 10 tracks. After "We Gotta Get You a Woman" became a hit single, Ampex decided to press more copies of the LP in November 1970 to keep up with demand. A rejected 12-track master of the LP was accidentally sent to the pressing plant resulting in approximately 5,000 mis-presses. Instead of throwing out the LPs, Ampex decided to sell them anyway, unmarked, as a sort of surprise to the purchaser.
Rare Runt
Two distinct versions of TR's debut LP were released. Here are the differences and how to tell if you have a "rare" one.
Etched on the inner groove are these markings:
A10105-A (A10105 B on B-side (no dash on B-side))
ARC 11-20-70
STERLING
LH
AL
Side A has 7 bands, side B has 5.
I've digitized the "bonus" tracks in both AIFF-Compressed format (smaller) and Windows Wave (more portable). And have added Real Audio (smaller yet, and better quality). There's still a lot of "pop" sounds, but after all, they're from a 25 year old LP! Just click on the sample size desired to hear 'em.
Steve Graham adds:
Most of the tracks marked "no difference" actually are different mixes. This is sort of referred to, I believe, in the notes on the inner sleeve of the "official" version, which say: "Remixed at Record Plants in N.Y. and L.A. and RE-REMIXED at Jack Clement Studio in Nashville".
There are several versions of the "official" pressing, some of which might possibly be bootlegs -- those are on really horrid vinyl, were not cut at "Sterling", and have the grooves spaced differently, ending farther away from the label. And there are versions on the Ampex and Bearsville/Ampex labels.
Hank Webb offers an alternate view:
As a long time fan of Todd and his body of music, I have amassed a large collection of his material, and in many varying forms. I have had a nagging question about one piece in mind, and were wondering if you could help me clear it up. It concerns the album Runt, and the material therein. Many reference books and supposed authorities conclude that the 12 track master with the song "Hope I'm Around" erroneously on side "a" and "Say No More" etc. on side "b" is the original first pressing. I take issue with that assumption, since 11-20-70 is etched in each trail off on my copy. The copies I have, that are 10 track masters, claimed to be second pressings by many authorities, have a 6-6-70 or 6-8-70 mastering date in the dead wax. That would be a clear indication to me that the 10 track master would be the original release, as they are also very abundant. However what would be the real reason for the mix-up in the later pressings, that contain 11 or 12 tracks? I also have an 11 track copy with a June side "a" and a November side "b" (on the hybrid copy the November date is 11-23-70, and is very clearly that, with the standard June stamper on side a.) Hence "Say No More " is on it, but not "Hope I'm Around". Can you shed any light on this matter for me?
I found more info

On the road this week in KC MO and picked these up at Vinyl Renaissance. The Beatles Collection are the U.K. Parlaphone/Apple pressings. The Tommy James & the Shondells is a white label promo copy and Globe of Frogs may be a duplicate. I couldn't remember :duh: and it was in NM condition so i figured I couldn't go wrong. :lol:

Amiee Mann - Charmer
It just came in the mail today and is playing as I type.
This has received pretty good reviews...
Paul
It sounds fantastic, my only problem with it is it's too short. I don't think she's put out a bad album. If you like her, check out a band called 'Ida'... just a fantastic eclectic band. The chicks vocals will melt your soul.
Sample http://www.last.fm/music/Ida/_/Equator
I bought that Jellyfish live on your suggestion, Laura, haven't opened it yet. Been living parallel lives in record land, you and I...I haven't opened mine either, but I heard it from start to finish at 4000 Holes which led me to buy it. Yes, we seem to be living parallel lives in record land.
And I just got the same Arthur as you, was disappointed in the mono disk but the stereo disk is pretty good. They were dissing it on stevehoffman.tv, "sourced from digital this and that blahblahblah." But the packaging is pretty good even if the color is off compared to my US pressing. Lo and behold, A/B testing shows quiet surfaces on the new stereo disk and much more weight in the low end. The US disk is almost like listening to a transistor radio. So overall I can recommend it even if it is pricey. And the white disks always look cool...since the record is so good (must listen from start to finish every time) I don't have to worry about how hard it is to see the spaces on the individual tracks.
Didn't see if you snagged these::dunno: never heard of shoegaze.
Been listening to shoegaze lately, the Ride reissues and Sugar reissues, both sets are great (the first two albums from each group). Highly recommended.
BTW you are post #2000 on this thread!
Paul
Ida: Those 30 second clips are pretty harsh when they stop, eh!
On Aimee Mann, I disagree about album length in general (I haven't heard the record yet, mind you, but that doesn't stop me from having an opinion!). I think 9 or 10 or 11 songs on a record are ideal, this one has 11.
For one thing, it doesn't have to be pressed on two vinyl disks.
For another, how many artists truly have enough material for more than that at one time. As much as I found Exile in Guyville by Liz Phair revelatory at the time, I could easily have survived on 12 instead of 18 songs!
Finally, when analyzing sales, things are moving away from "albums" as a concept, with downloads, etc. getting more traction. So maybe keeping it short will keep the flame alive.
Paul

10. Marshmallow Way ~ Self Titled another LP I have no idea about
Brother of deceased band member posted on Amazon. Sounds like bubblegum. Perhaps a guilty pleasure...
Paul
One website classified this album as US Psych/Rock. I've never claimed to be anything more
than a poor Pumpkinman "but" if this isn't a bubblegum album then I know less than nothing.
Now I didn't hate it but I didn't love either. There are "bubblegum LPs that I really like. By groups
like 1910 Fruitgum Co. etc. etc. etc. While I can't wholeheartedly recommend this album I can't
dismiss it either. Unless you are a major bubblegum music fan I'd recommend you take a pass
on this album.

Scott,
where did you make such an outstanding "catch?"
Laura
There is a place in Grand Rapids called Dodd's. It's across the street from Vertigo Records. Dodd makes no bones about the fact that all of his vinyl is shrink wrapped, it looks really professional also. The albums are generally in good condition and you can open the shrink to inspect the vinyl if you wish. For me it is a turnoff because no matter what he says, I feel bad about opening the albums and not buying them. So I typically don't go there...
Seeing all of the shrinked vinyl really made me wonder about new vs. old. I guess it makes sense that if they shrink it at the factory, someone could shrink it after the fact.
In no way am I suggesting that Scott didn't get the real deal. I see sealed vinyl all the time at record stores. But it does raise a little caveat emptor (thought Laura might appreciate a little Latin), doesn't it.
Anybody ever have an issue with "new" that wasn't "new?"

I think it's from 1981, the new reissue on MFSL is, like all the others, spectacular. For me this is the last album in Elvis' golden period where he could do absolutely no wrong.
These MFSL recordings are must haves.

SO good! Any idea why MF "skipped" Trust?!! Was very bummed about that, even though I was more excited about this one....
I bought 3 B-52 LPs today, what a waste.
I rate them as one of the most horrible bands I have ever heard. No talent hacks.
Out $9.
Should have bought some Garrison Keillor LPs to at least use for target practice with my new Ruger.
Wayner
I don't know, but I sure hope they do Trust before Punch The Clock and Goodbye Cruel World.
As far as I am concerned, Taking Liberties should be next, then Trust. And BTW Michael Fremer has correctly identified Trust as a great sounding disk on its own merits. I saw the Trust concert (among half a dozen others) and he started with Shot With His Own Gun, alone, with guitar on a stool in the dark with only one spotlight. Man, it was great!

The Counting Crows has a nice tight and detailed low end though at times can become overpowered by the highs. Which brings me to my only criticism, which is that the vocals and electric guitar parts can sound a bit forward at times. It seems like the desire for gobs of detail triumphed over musicality at times. However, all in all this is the best version of this record i have heard and is a keeper.

Now, I have opened a couple with very wide shallow scuffs, and occasionally warped. Actually in that buy that I made, I didn't mention that I also got a Paul Simon "There goes Rhymin' Simon" because it turned out to be moderately warped, but still playable with a clamp.

Roy, kindly translate for me. I'm a little thick. Thanks. JimJim,
My PopMarket Roxy Music Bundle just showed up. They sound great. Although the attractive ladies on the cover must have gotten the LPs a little over-excited. All of the LPs split their seams!
I have these (all 7, not just the first four, plus various maxi-singles and picture disks) in a German box set and a full set of well-worn American releases. But after you posted that stevehoffman.tv said these disks were OK, I ordered a set for my daughter and me. Actually, it is hidden on the popmarket website, I did a Google search and found the original page this past weekend.

I've only had time to listen to the first Cleaners From Venus. In the style of Ray Davies, Martin Newell is a genius. To think that he and his buddy would come home from work and record this stuff together! It all sounds like fun. I bought mine separately as the box was not available at my local record store on record store day.
As for all the other tasty vinyl, I approve! Except who the heck is Medicine? Don't tell me it's another group I gotta get into!!!!! I am beginning to realize that 1990-1992 was a great period in music. Too bad I was listening to Barnie the Dinosaur and Raffi.

Paul
Yeah, I can see that on the second record. But oh, WL/WH is great. And oh that mono Nico Chelsea Girl.
Other than the banana peel cover album with Nico, I just couldn't get into their recordings.
Laura
The second record, I think, is White Light/White Heat! It's gonna be hard for me to get into that one.
My Codeine box came today...
Paul
As for what I have gotten lately, Joanna Newsom's "Have One on Me" is fabulous. Easily her best and most approachable IMHO.

Sundazed Holiday Sale!!!

Just grabbed MC5 "Get Out the Jams, Stooges S/T and a Grant Green LP.
The last time I listened to Rosco:

Cool packaging. Only 40 percent of the way through it, though!
Paul
Yes, I regret passing on that Chilton.
Paul, I was certainly thinking of you and Laura when I posted that Sundazed Holiday sale link.
Don't know them, missed them during my Barney The Dinosaur Sing Along With The Kids phase. A very dark period indeed.
Anyway, interesting album. Somehow I think Rosco wanted me to get this???
Paul

Bill: what is that If album? I saw it back in the seventies...
Paul
Elizabeth,Too late ... i already bought them, played all of them...
Fremer is giving an album-by-album evaluation over at Analog Planet, which might be of some help.
But until I find that next Galaxie 500 LP, I will be content to enjoy this scratch & snif LP:
(http://betterpropaganda.com/images/artwork/Dandelion_Gum-Black_Moth_Super_Rainbow_480.jpg)
I was able to get a 2xLP copy on black vinyl. 1 LP picture disc is easier to find.
I really dig it, but opinions tend to be mixed on this one. Maybe try to stream it somewhere.
(http://www.jambase.com/merch/3937lg.jpg)Roscoe, all, which Dylan tune has the chorus of "It's alright, Ma . .". I believe it is from one of his earliest albums. Thanks. Please . .
Mono, Original 2-eye Columbia, NM!!!
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517rminY7HL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
Stereo 1970 pressing, also NM!
A good day.
Wow, from the time stamps it looks like my reply was only 13 minutes after your original post.
Picture disc is much easier to find for sure, and much less expensive than what I paid.
Roscoe, all, which Dylan tune has the chorus of "It's alright, Ma . .". I believe it is from one of his earliest albums. Thanks. Please . .
Just grabbed the Muddy Waters and Rolling Stones At the Checkerboard Lounge LPs.
PopMarket deal of the day.
How could I refuse? The Checkerboard is only a few blocks from my place.
Just received my Genesis boxed set 1976-1982, featuring LPs (5) after Gabriels departure. Those LPs are 1) Robber, Assult and Battery, 2)Wind and Wurthering, 3) And then there was Three, 4) Duke and 5) abacab.
All are pressed on 180 gram vinyl by EMI. At the first note on Robbery, I knew this was an excellent production. I have the MFSL version of this LP and the EMI version is better! More bass, extended highs and more 3D sound stage. At $150 for the set, it's not cheap, but so far, I'm betting that this set will be good from beginning to end.
One of the best buys of the year for me, as this completes my Genesis set from 1970 to 1982.
Wayner
Look forward to hearing your thoughts on those Beatles LPs. Based also on Fremer's reviews (and my own Beatles' preferences) those are the ones I am also most interested in. Here's hoping your pressings are good ones.

This just arrived today...if there was EVER a record that EVERYBODY had to have and that I could RECOMMEND without reservation...well, this is one of them. In my top 10 of all time. Don't know if this version is any good, but the music is positively top notch.

Nick Drake "Pink Moon" box set just showed up. Sounds beautiful, and great packaging.
Another example where I didn't even know it was coming out. Or is it an older reissue???
Paul

Just came out, and already hard to find according to the SH Forum thread. Music Direct no longer lists it, and people seem to be worried about their orders being cancelled. Sounds fantastic. And a beautiful set. But it'll cost you at $60. Acoustic Sounds has them in stock, that's where I grabbed mine.

Nick Drake "Pink Moon" box set just showed up. Sounds beautiful, and great packaging.
Dodged a bullet with the Moe Tucker (drummer for the Velvet Underground) 3LP anthology.
I am really not feeling this collection, but turns out the used copy I bought has 2 sides 3-4 and no LP with sides 1-2. So I can return this one for credit. *phew*
Just not that compelling stuff overall for me.

Worst cover but a decent record.
Paul
Dang Lee, Santa was pretty nice to you. You must have been a very good boy this year. But I can't complain since the wife got me a first stamper original Sonny Rollins "The Bridge".
Because if anybody knows the Biz at all, they know that he positively LOVES The Move.
Thanks Paul,
I have ''Split Ends'' but no "Message From The Country" and can't ever remember seeing it.
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=73098)
Rhino & Elektra combined on two great albums. Both cut from the orginal analog master tapes. If you like Forever Changes, you will want this reissue. It kills the Sundazed reissue.
Thanks Paul,

Picked up 5 or 6 things back a week or two ago, got that Beatles Sgt Pepper and the 'like' remastered copy of White Album.
Same here. Bought a new reissue on new years eve and it is very bad. Hope my exchange is as good as yours.
The copy of Sgt Peppers in the picture was unlistenable however!!!! Never in my life have I heard a new record sound this poor, or have so many pressing issues. On "Lucy in the Sky...." especially. You have likely already heard about most of the issues with the first run US pressings of the Remasters. Anyway, I am happy to report that my replacement copy sounds superb!

How had I never heard of this? An awesome live show.

Entropy and Roscoiii - New YLT is stunning. Their most solid album in a good while. Perfect A and B Side! The way great albums used to be sequenced!

Pretty poor phone camera shot here. Oh well, you get the idea.
Yo La Tengo - Fade, Goat - World Music, The Beatles - Should have gotten the box set.....
OMG, is that GOAT great too. Their show isn't until May here and I am so excited. See them live if possible!
picked up a few things this weekend. Looks like I'll be fillin up the spin clean this weekend.

I just bought the vinyl. And now there is the wait until Feb-March.
Today at DD's
Bo Hansson ~ Magician's Hat
If you like that one Pman check out his Lord of the Rings, those two are my faves. Attic Thoughts , & Watership Down are pretty good as well, though MH & LOTR are his best imo. 8)
Good haul. I really like the sound of Talking Heads' Simple Creatures.You're right. Cleaned her up and gave a spin tonight. Good recording, pretty dynamic and lucked out with a quiet record to boot.
Good Rats ~ Birth Comes To Us All
Paul (orthobiz) on a previous trip I picked up Roy Wood's "Mustard" album :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Currently spinning on the deck for the third time tonight. Mega-thanks to roscoeiii.
Laura, let us know how those sound. Been curious about both.
Roscoe,
The Bob Dylan 45 RPM is absolutely terrific. I have an original mono of this record plus the pressing that is in the mono box set of Dylan's first 9 albumsand this is clearly the best this album has sounded. Great dynamics, detail and everything that was in the studio that day. If you like this record at all, get this before it is too late.
I've only listened to a couple of side of the LZ record. so far pretty decent for a live recording.
Laura

What is that bright yellow album with the group on the cover?
Paul
Am I the last person on the planet to hear 'Graceland'? I bought it last weekend, of course I've heard a few tracks over the years but this is the first time I've owned it.Yep, you are apparently the last. I bought my copy two weeks ago. I this release is about 10-12 years old, and very good music. I hope that Paul Simon can find inspirations again before he calls it quits.
Good stuff, sonics are excellent...

Finally got back to Radioactive Records in Ft. Lauderdale, and scored some good stuff.
Seems a former A&R rep for Sony had come in 2 days before and sold off his collection. All the CBS Masterpiece reissues pictured are in pristine shape, all have the gold NOT FOR SALE TO THE PUBLIC stamp on them. All shiny, glossy black vinyl, little surface noise from what I sampled. The Take Five alone made the purchase worth it.
The rock titles were a throw-in, many I once had on cassette, long since gone. Also, all fairly clean.

Bill - I'm sure you have it in vinyl, but if not, the Long Misty Days is yours.
Nope - you put all the Trower CDs on my server, no vinyl. You gave me the xtra Cat Stevens and Yes albums you had.
Oh, and I may have major corruption on my server, I have everything backed up up to 2 years ago, but anything after that if corrupted is gone. I know the Pink Floyd is shot to H*ll.

Guess I don't need to send you my Floating Worlds anytime soon, I'll figure out something you don't have eventually, maybe. The MJQ has to be a winner as well. Not to mention nice catch on the McKendree Spring. One of these days I'll start browsing the Seattle stores for classics, but since I still haven't listened to all the limited library I retained I don't figure it's cost effective (yet).

What period is this from?
Alas, RIP Doug, no more concerts...
Paul
Record High is a new store in the Phoenix area on University near 44th St. Doug is a really nice guy and really into quality vinyl. Lots of MoFi's and audiophile pressings. Every album is cleaned on a VPI and 95% are near mint or new. Nothing less than VG+ (no dollar bins Bill ). Tons of jazz albums for you jazz lovers. Also a great blues selection. The Lynyrd Skynyrd is an original pressing.

Laura what a great haul :thumb: :thumb:

doug s.
Today was a big day:
I sold a bunch of LPs I culled to make room for new LPs I am buying..
One place in particular gives me good prices. I spent a LOT of money there over the years.. So I buy and sell to them.
(I had about 50 LPs to dump. A few good stuff, most average, some junk.)
I sold them first picks, and bought three new albums.. So For $5 cash and my trade in moneyi got:
Blur: Modern Life is Rubbish
Blur: Parklife
The Flaming Lips: the Soft Bulletin
Then...
Went to 1/2 price books using the 40% off coupons and bought:
Grizzly Bear 'Shields'
Dylan Mono Another Side of Bob Dylan (I cheated and used two.)
Then I went next door and sold the leftover Lps I had for $30, there I bought:
Ween Chocolate and Cheese
Ween The Mollusk
The Strokes: Room On Fire
Pixies Surfer Rosa
Pixies Come on Pilgrim
Flaming Lips Stardeath (redo of Pink Floyd Dark side of the Moon)
So this pile with the money for the records sold there and rebates cost me $63. (they give points for buying and selling LPs to them good for more music)
And then this morning I went crazy on Amazon and bought:
Portishead Dummy
Massive Attack Blue Lines
Liz Phair Exile in Guyville
Beastie Boys Pauls Boutique
Talk Talk Laughing Stock
New Order Power Corruption and Lies
Joy Division Closer, and Unknown pleasures
Primal Scream Screamadelica
Dead Kennedys Fresh Fruit for Rotting Veg..
Elbow Seldom Seen Kid
And then the mailman brought me:
Jimi Hendrix Axis bold as Love MONO
Arcade Fire Neon Bible.
So i have been busy refilling my vacant spaces in the Rock area.
(spending my tax refund like my pants are on fire.)
Hah ha.. And all that was just TODAY...

King Crimson -- Islands
I was in Portland Friday night and Saturday and picked these up from Music Millenium (all new)
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=77671)
and these from Exiled Records (all in excelent condition)
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=77672)
and these were a Pop Market special
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=77674)
How does the Florence and the machine sound???
Whoa, Great Haul.Yep, I got them Sat., cleaned records for several hours today, repaired a few jackets, and am just now sitting down to listening. Sonny R is wailin to bossa nova beat right now without a tic or a pop so far :D
Paul,
Look forward to your Harvest comparisons. I have that new reissue too, but always wonder if it is worth tracking down other copies.
And yes, that Low "Secret Name" LP is great. I think most of Low's LPs are AAA. They even often have stickers on them informing the buyer that an all-analog chain is used.
Low also did on a great show when we and quietglow saw them. Other folks on the thread should look to see if Low will be playing nearby them on this tour.
I just googled them because until Paul's post I had never heard of the band. The early to mid 90's was a dry spell for me music wise as I was changing jobs and moving to Spokane. Based on the wikipedia read it sounds like I might like them.
Some days your are just in the right place at the right time. The local record store had just bought a collection of jazz and hadn't even unboxed it. I got first picks..... let's see, all original and early pressings:I overlooked a couple that were in with the classical stuff.... so here's the addendum.
Leading of with a vg+ Kind of Blue on Columbia 6 eye
then Jimmy Smith Live at the Chicken Shack early Blue note
next another copy of Nina Simone and Friends (NM)
then Sonny Rollins Sonny's Time on Jazzland
Ellington at Newport '56
Ahmad Jamal Trio "Count 'em 88"
Sonny Stitt plays Jimmy Giuffre Arrangements (NM until I dropped it while cleaning, now VG+ :cry:)
Nina Simone atht the village Gate
Nina simone High Priestess of Soul
Sonny Rollins Contemporary Alternate Takes
sonny Rollins What's New (RCA 2s stamper)
Buddy Rich The Wailing
Nina Simone Let it all Out
Jimmy Smith Midnight Special
Nina Simone Forbidden Fruit
Roy and Diz No. 2
... and a dozen of RCA shaded dog classical and Mercury Living Presence
This represents about one to two years worth of collecting for me in a single buy...$180
Now listening to my nice copy of Kind of Blue :D
Disco? You can't be serious, please tell you aren't serious. :lol:
Laura
More along the lines of Stones "Miss You," and Roxy Music "Love Is The Drug," etc. The early 80's saw a lot of extended remixes on 12" 33 or 45 vinyl with interesting results. Gave new slants on the album cuts. Surely you have a few in your collection? And if you don't have Buzzcocks, you need to get Singles/Going Steady right away!!!!
Paul
Thanks, Lenny!
I did steer him to the site but I'm not sure if he joined or not, I'll have to ask.
These guys are always on the road so there's not much time to play with stereo gear when they're home.
Yeah, he showed up at a garage sale my first wife was having about 25 years ago, he saw my copy of Rolling Stone's History of Rock and Roll which I had on the table and said, "I'm in this book", sure enough he was. Hey, that is you...
I was wearing a Moto Guzzi tee shirt and he said that the first song he ever wrote was about Moto Guzzis and Ducatis, we went to go check out my Guzzi LeMans and we've been friends ever since.
I horrify his wife as she's afraid I'll get him back on motorcycles again! :icon_twisted:
Oddly enough, we BOTH have turtle tattoos on our arms without either one being aware of the other. Hey, look at that!
Stephanie (his wife) went, "Oh my God, you two could be twins"!
I'm waiting for Lenny's solo album to get finished but he's dragging his feet on this one.
Which guitar are you going to play, the Tex-Mex Unicaster?
No, all of them!
It was really interesting to see how he was putting it together with ProTunes(?) or something like that.
You can lay down as many tracks as you feel like, grab one and synchronize it with the others, delete it, bring it up in the mix, whatever.
That's a funny story about them not having a car! So this is the rock and roll lifestyle?
I wish I would have caught them at MSG w/ Neal Young, I'll bet that was good.
Back to albums, Banga on vinyl is well worth getting.
I love Pete Shelley, this version of Homo Sapien is a hoot!
Paul
Paul,
did you buy two copies of the Pete Shelley records or just forgot that you posted them on April 4? :green: :lol:
Laura
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8240/8630365574_1957363fc4.jpg)
I don't understand this yet. Sounds like Eno with less melody and more distortion.
Can't imagine that the vinyl_lady likes it, but I could be wrong.
Paul
I was disappointed. I doubt if I will play it again, at least not for a long, long time. I bought it after reading some of the rave reviews here on AC. A little too much distortion for me. I was hoping it would be more like the Muse. If this is an example of shoegaze, then I don't think I'll be buying.
Laura
I need your help. I went to the doctor yesterday and was diagnosed with a condition known as Pumpkinitis and there is no known cure. I just can't stop or help myself. The latest Pop Market special.
Does anybody out there know of a remedy?
:lol:
Laura
Though if you hold onto the LP, keep it in the back of your mind and maybe give it a go when the mood might be right (NOTE: this would not be for a romantic dinner, unless your beloved is also a big shoegaze fan...). I did find the LP and My Bloody Valentine to be a creeper.
At least there's hope for me! I hate when something gets universal praise and I can't get into it (like Fleet Foxes!)
Paul
Well Paul and Laura, if this isn't grabbing you, then you have just saved yourselves big bucks tracking down first pressings of their first 2 LPs (later Plain pressings were made from CD).
Yeah, very atmospheric stuff with a healthy dose of distortion is a good way to characterize shoegaze. More of a float over you soundscape kind of sound. Good on a gray day.
I am a huge fan of this LP and their others, but yeah it is not to everyone's taste.

Yup, that's a live Bowie bootleg from '72 up there.
Mingus, Miles, Jazz Giants and James Brown are all mono.
Latest trip to RadioActive.
The Miles is a 6 eye pressing.

TNP Mass Romantic is a new 180g pressed at RTI. Rain Parade "Live in Japan" is still sealed :thumb: Doug recommended Shelby Lynne and Paul Weller. He told me if I didn't like them he would refund the purchase price and I could keep the records.
Wow, Laura, it wouldn't be anything like a husband/wife relationship, but you could be "pumpkin lady" and maybe I could be "pumpkin boy."
Paul
Hi Laura
Is that an original SAC Lp. That's a great find they are very hard to come by. The Rain Parade is another great find.
........ He has a nice jazz section (Gene, for you) and lots of Telarc records for classical music fans. He told me he has boxes and boxes of records to clean, grade and put out. ..........
Now I'm the envious one my SAC is a Greek reissue I bought in NYC in 1978
That's simply awesome Laura :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

I've been to DD quite a few times and Record Connection once a week. I've gotten significantly better buys out of the Record Connection! but you have to get there consistently to get the best buys. DD is great for more common titles, but the rare titles seem to always be less at Andys....just ask my check book.

Gene and I will be there tomorrow around 4 PM. We most likely have already run into each other at DDs.
I like the Record Connection but for me it's 96 miles one way so I don't go there all that often
while DDs is only 46 miles one way.
Probably have seen you somewhere. I have to agree with you...if I was closer to DD, I'd be there every week too. I've gotten some great buys out there on some nice releases, but that's a strong buying crowd down there and alot of his desirable titles don't last more than 30 minutes! Andy doesn't get as much, but his records don't generally move quite as fast and hence a better chance of being there when I stop in. I did buy a pile of Nick Caves and Porcupine Tree records from Record Connection...titles I haven't seen at any of the other shops in the last year or two.Good day for jazz at DDs.
Thought it doesn't come out til Tuesday!
How do you like it?
Hey Bob, for me the 801 Live is about as sweet as they come. And I think all of these guys are still alive, why they don't get together and play the Civic Arena in Cadillac, MI is beyond me... :scratch:

Good to see some ECM label jazz P-man.
That's Jazz :o :o :o :o
If you ever come across any Gateway on ECM, grab it. Some of my favorite ECM. Gateway and Gateway 2.
Sometimes the group is referred to as Gateway, sometimes just as Holland, Abercrombie and DeJohnette.

The new Sabbath 13 LP
Yellow Submarine (UK mono 80's I think)
Two Of A Kind
Rain Parade ~ Crashing Dream (1985 Italian pressing to go with my US Promo copy)
The latest was "Claim" by Not Drowning, Waving.
This is a very cool Australian band that sort of straddles the line between rock, ambient, world music (their Aboriginal Australin roots), prog-rock.
Very creative stuff from 1989.
Hit 3 stores yesterday, 2 in Richmond and 1 in MD by U of Maryland. From Planet 9 in Richmond, the vinyl was cheap but quality was iffy. I bought the Brubeck for $1 as it's an unplayable 6-eye that I'll mount on the wall at some point.
Do you frequent Princeton Record Exchange?
When I can, why do you ask?
Bill,
did you get all of those at Joe's?
No Laura :lol:
Only one came from Joe's the rest from DD's. I did a drive by on my way home
from Gene's today.
Of course, silly me.

I don't collect 45 RPM records but that changed yesterday at a thrift. I was looking at lp's on a rack and spotted a case on the floor underneath some Halloween decorations and started poking around inside and found about 100 - 45's inside. A lot these I owned as a kid in the 60's. Their in very good condition. I have a Dual stackable TT which I'll have to bring out soon. Paid $16 total. There is everything from Cream, Troggs, Stones, Beach Boys, Guess Who, Sam Cook, Stevie Wonder, Mavin Gaye, Supremes, Booker T and on. Amazingly enough no Beatles.

Some very cool & unusual 60's Psyche, old Blues & Jazz lp's that I found at a thrift. Most all of them are DJ Promo's with a few of those being 2 eye mono's. $1.50 each in very good condition! This is just part of 22 LP's found.

I found a treasure trove of rare jazz, avant garde and fusion. Along with a few progressive and rock lp's. Somebody dropped this collection at a thrift. Yesterday I found 55 lp's. I always make multiple runs back to see if any more will come out and sure enough after work today I found another 24 lp's from the same collection. These lp's are dead mint condition. 80% still in shrinks wrap and all of them have audiophile poly lined inner sleeves! They don't look like they have been played. Most of them are European pressings, ECM, MPS BASF etc. A few Prestige, Muse, Milestone and others. I was going to attempt to type all the titles out but it would take forever. I got these for $1 each!!!!
Here's the names of a few artists off the top of my head. A lot of them have 2-3 lp's each.
Pat Martino, Kenny Burrell, Bill Evans, Ron Carter, Bennie Green, Modern Jazz Quartet, Jack McDuff, Dave Liebman, Jaco Pastorius, Barre Phillips, Dave Holland, Joe Farrell, McCoy Tyner, Joe Chambers, John McLaughlin, John Abercrombie, Bennie Maupin, Tereje Rypdal, Art Lande, Steve Kuhn, Gary Burton, Keith Jarrett, Tomasz Stanko, Colin Walcott, Tom Waits, Jack DeJohnette, Weather Report, Camel and on & on. I'm one happy camper right now!
This is one of the best "SCORES" I've heard of in quite a while.

Emberrasing to fess up; 12" single I love you always forever by Donna Lewis.
It took me years to find out who sang it since the only time you ever heard it was sifting through radio stations. It's not quite rock schmaltz if you will, but pretty close. But I actually like the song and a new cartridge has lent itself to female vocalists.
I just bought the Jagger album back a few months ago, was surprised how much I liked it. Let me know if you like the Townshend album. I've bought 2 of his solo works in past few months and liked them as well.
Please report back on the Dead album's sound quality. I passed on it due to those concerns but might reconsider if someone twisted my arm.
Great haul Roscoe :thumb:

I found this amazing collection of 19 Brubeck lps at a thrift yesterday! Six of them Six Eye Mono's and a sound "360 Sounds". Included are 3 - 2 lp compilations makes for 22 Brubeck lp's. In addition are some miscellaneous jazz & rock lp's. A nice "Monk" "Greatest" lp!!
All of this so far is in excellent condition in their original sleeves. Total of 31 lp's. Paid $31 total!
The Shorty Rogers "Martian" and the Slam Stewart lp's look really interesting.
The Sinatra red vinyl lp's are from '67 Taiwanese pressings. Not sure how they'll sound, but they look cool.

Nice I picked that one up a few months ago
I've been looking for this one for a while.
Waniyetula- Nature's Clear Well
This was originally released in 1975 on an obscure German label called 'Venus'. It disappeared for 3 years until it was released in 1978 by US label, Visa, but with a band name change to Galaxzy. Also with much improved cover art.
All, in all, it's a solid prog album with some near great moments.

"Laura those last 2 of mine aren't CD's something went wrong with the camera."
Why you chicken!!! :nono:
That aside, it was good to see you yesterday and catch up, though as always at PREX, I spent too much money. And yet, I'm most annoyed for not going in for another $20 and getting Raising Sand on vinyl, especially as I had it in my hand. Oh well....
I just laid done $30 for one of these from Amazon.
Analog Productions 200 gram reissue of the famous, and much lauded, (RCA Living Stereo, 'shaded dog') Fritz Reiner conducting the Chicago Symphony's performance of 'Scheherazade'. Originals sell for upwards of $300.
I listened to it for the first time last night. All I can say is, bloody hell!
The quality of this recording is absolutely amazing. Detail, dynamics, transparency, imaging...all there. It is hard to point to any one thing that is so great about this recording, it does everything so well. Calling this a great recording is an understatement.
Not to mention the absolute silence of the vinyl.
Oh, and the performance is considered one of the best ever recorded.

Wow. Fans of Sea Changes take notice. Even has same backing band. And on the vinyl geek front, it was pressed at Pallas. Great sound on first listen.
Excellent.
My record store ordered six and got one so I ordered from acoustic sounds.
So on my way home I hit a couple of my favorite thrifts and find nothing. That ice cold beer on this beautiful 77 degree Arizona afternoon is calling me home. :) :icon_twisted: Guess I can't complain too much, had some sunshine & 72 today myself. :D
I'm cruising down the freeway thinking maybe I should hit a couple more by my house. Probably a waste of time Robert!! But my thrift addiction gets the best of me and I head for the exit ramp. :duh:
Luckily for me it wasn't a waste. Not the biggest score, but I found some excellent condition records! All for $10. :)

Thanks for the links. If you happen to be an AZ Desert Rat, we've got something in common. I'm just displaced these days.
I've been a Mesa, "AZ Desert Rat" for 14 years now . . . Former "Chicago City Slicker" for 45 years.
OK, Mr. Rat, I know where you live now! We were in Gilbert - just a few blocks south of Baseline & west of Gilbert Rd. for about 10 years. Been stuck in MO for the last 7. All things considered, I'd rather be in Tucson, which is where I was right after high school (so when that album came out). Just finished listening to the LF album. Reminds me of some other bands, LZ, BS, although I've not a clue who came first. Lead singer sounds like GFR. The best metal to me always seemed to be rooted in some of the more raucous symphonic works, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, a good listen, so thanks for pointing me to it.
Not far. I'm near Guadalupe & Ellsworth. I like it here. I agree with the symphonic thing. The LF album came out before they coined the term Metal same goes for BS, DP, LZ & others as you know already. We always knew it as hard rock or acid rock. Of course it's all blues. Nice grab on the Miles album. I listen to more Jazz/Jazz Fusion these days than any other genre. Cheers!
Sound + Vision is David Bowie's box set compilation released on Rykodisc in 1989. By the end of the 1980s, the rights to Bowie's pre-1983 catalogue (released under the RCA label) reverted to Bowie. Rykodisc had approached Bowie in 1988 to re-release albums on CD and Bowie agreed, and in September 1989 the Sound + Vision box set was released.[4] By April 1990 the box set had sold over 200,000 copies, which, for a set costing $50–$60 (or about $100 today)[5] was considered "phenomenal."
(http://imagizer.imageshack.com/img674/1415/nPAQ9Q.jpg)
The David Bowie set is CD and the rest is vinyl.
Nice stuff. I'm constantly reminded by albums such as the ones you picked up, that music is endless. Some 6,000 albums here and I don't have a single one of those! I've seen the Shondells one, but too beaten up to bother bringing home. I think I've got a Maze, but the two you picked up don't look familiar.
6,000 LP's here as well (give or take). Both the Maze LP's are later albums. The Mony Mony LP looks near Mint but only after a spin will I know for sure.
The Taste LP was a nice find as I love import vinyl and it's a German pressing. :D

Thanks P-man. I'll have to see if I can track down the Maze I have. Stuff like that tends to stand out, so I normally wouldn't stick it just anywhere. Of course that means when I go looking for anything "unique" I don't have a clue where I put it!
Taste is a new one to me. I'll have to do a little reading.
Jim
Say, I just looked at the first few pages of your album art gallery. I spotted the Chet Atkins in Hollywood cover. That's the original, correct? I've got it, plus the reissue with the guy in the sports car and the blonde in the gold lame jumpsuit. Had fun researching that one when I picked it up in an animal shelter thrift store somewhere in Montana I think.
Taste is "Rory Gallagher" this is the album to hunt down

Boulders is classic. If you are unfamiliar, you are in for a treat. Roy Wood did this solo album while he was still with The Move, it got released after The Move broke up...basically (but not exactly) Roy Wood to head Wizzard and Jeff Lynne to head ELO. Except for the weird harmonium at the beginning of Songs of Praise, he played and sang the whole thing. It's great.

If it's Saturday, it must be Catch Of The Day Pic day. Nice stuff, Joegator81. Here's my one buy of the week. Now I'm not saying I'm a big Carter Family fan, but I wasn't dumb enough to pass this buck buy by (say that three times fast.) Too bad it wasn't the mono.
Keep On The Sunny Side - The Carter Family With Special Guest Johnny Cash.

Thanks! i'm still buzzing from the Alice in Chains get.
Can't say I've listened to much Carter family but i'm a big Johnny Cash fan so that would definitely be a good pick up in my book.
Seemed like I was destined to pick it up. A day or two before I caught just part of the movie "I Walk The Line. The part I caught had to do with the time in his life when he first started working with June. I don't know a great deal about his life story, but if the movie's true to it, clearly the Carter family had a lot to do with him managing to straighten himself out.
Just got mono Sgt Peppers and White Album. Consolation prizes to myself for a nasty wet and cold first day at Riot Fest. But sun will be out for Paul's when he gets here tomorrow !

Nice score, Laura!
This is probably the absolutely most sought after version of Beethoven's 6th. TAS listed. Found an actual M- to NM copy for..... $2. They go over $100 and are just never seen in this shape! Whoo-who!!!Good record. I have it on SACD. Had no idea that a vinyl copy went for that much. Congrats!

Nice haul Gene. I love that Decemberists album.
You said as much back a month or so, that's why I bought it. :thumb:
From Newbury Records in Boston MA
How's the RSD Dylan? The one I wanted that I couldn't find around here.

It is terrific!!!!
I bought the limited edition mono signed by Garth Hudson (2174/2500)
Great to hear. Tracked down a 130g copy.
Love all the basement tapes stuff. Mofi basement tapes was also great.
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=120191)So jealous of that Beck! I wish Beck or his label would start rereleasing his albums from the first onwards. I want the entire catalog, but it would set me back too much. I'm always watching for Midnight Vultures! Just looked and a "near mint" is about $200. :( They don't even have to remaster them! :lol:
Beck is in mint condition. Bought from an audiophile who needed to raise some funds. Great album!

Doc, Toni, P-man, JD, and Phil shamed me into acquiring some British folk. Went to 4000 holes and he had these 5 records, all in excellent condition. If you are looking for albums by these groups, don't go to 4000 holes--he doesn't have any left. :lol:

Dexter Gordon - One Flight Up
Jerome made me go to Acoustic Sounds and buy this, :wink:
(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=122525)
I just picked that up last Friday. I like it a lot. Very quiet pressing and I like the mix.
You're so lucky on the Kinks. Impossible to find Arthur, I think they get snatched up right away. Make sure you have a copy of Village Green Preservation Society and Something Else by the Kinks...just in case!
Paul
(http://www.indierockfan.net/pics/NewVinyl_07062015.jpg)Those are two great albums! That pressing of Faith No More is so good that I had to pick up their Mr. Bungle reissues. You must have quite a collection there. You do your shopping online or in store?

Returned from St. Augustine after going to the Violent Femmes concert at the St. Augustine Amplitheater. Before the show my wife and I stopped by the Tone Vendor record store and came out with some great music, the Counting Crows and Muddy Waters were birthday gifts from my wife purchased off Discogs and Heckler here on audiocircle.

Well Laura, the issue was more the 'all you can eat' than 'sushi'.

I found that there is actually an earlier label, issued for just a couple of months before they moved locations...

thanks-- how does it sound?Better than the OJC repressing- not as quiet, but better detail.

Laura, I blame you personally for telling me about the 45 reissues, I now have the first two Doors albums and Morrison Hotel on order, my bank account hates you--I am enthralled, also Nashville Skyline is coming soon to complete the Dylan library, I am told that there is no plan to reissue Blood on the Tracks in 45--shame. Hope the Loving Spoonful brings back good memories, they were a breath of fresh air amongst the chaos.

Broken Bells is a great album
That's a real good friend CB. Some killer LPs there.
Congrats big time.
So Laura, how do these remasters compare to the originals? With classical, I've had mixed results.

a NM original Columbia 6 eye Mingus "Ah Um" CS8171. Stereo from 1959 ... $5Yep. 5 bucks. I understand the hate, but for a Mingus Ah Um, I can live with it. :thumb:
Seriously????? I think I hate you!
Yep. 5 bucks. I understand the hate, but for a Mingus Ah Um, I can live with it. :thumb:
please let me know when you decide to make a few bucks and resell some stuff from your dealer :DArt, I've actually been thinking that I need to do some culling, both classical and jazz, just to clear some space. If I do, I'll send you a pm with a heads up.
any extra copies you want to share with ACers???
Hi djEmpire,
Are you posting records you are listening to or records you just bought? This thread is for posting newly acquired records, thus "Catch of the Day." The best place to post prog rock and any type of rock is P'Man's Rock and Roll Vinyl LP thread, http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=116369.msg1550622#msg1550622.
Those are great records BTW.
Best,
Laura
Thanks Laura.
They are both great threads to be a part of.
Finally found a decent copy. I've tossed several in the trash.That's one I've been hunting for several years. Nice find.

just picked up a nice two disc copy of the Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall. It is a 1963 release on Columbia.Good pick up. That's one Brubeck's best and a bit hard to find.

(http://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=176432)I love it when you find an unexpected ancient gem, and it turns out to be well recorded and pressed. I'm often amazed at how good the technology was 65 years ago.
From a Connecticut antique store last month; thought I'd scored one of HP's very best at first! :hyper:
SQ is exceptional for what, a 60-year old disc? VERY quiet surfaces LP to boot! :thumb:
I thought everybody did that- along with looking at their books.
...But it reminded me of how I was someone who, when at a party in the 70's or 80's, would mosey over to a person's record collection just to check things out. But as an audio snob with impeccable taste :roll: I would secretly judge a person's musical sensibilities and taste. Bet I'm not the only one on AudioCircle guilty of the same!

Tangents in Jazz by the Jimmy Giuffre Four.
Picked up a beautiful M- copy recorded in 1955, released in 56. This is really good jazz. Giuffre was experimenting with a sound that wasn't percussion beat driven, allowing two horns or horn and clarinett to drive most of the music with bass and drums filling in spaces. I've got to say, this is a very Cool sound.
Don't think it's available in stereo, but look for it!
I've never seen this label-- HK MarcoPolo of Hong Kong Records. In the corner in small print "Recorded in Association with Bose"
For two bucks, you gotta take a chance.

I have a constant stream of vinyl coming in at the moment. I have been buying LP's in bulk lots and have added over 300 in the last 2 months. That is what happens when you buy new turntables yes i bought 2 and new speakers. And i'm loving the great sound of vinyl once again.If I may ask, how are you cleaning your vinyl? I found that a good cleaning routine made a large difference in enjoyment of my records.
If I may ask, how are you cleaning your vinyl? I found that a good cleaning routine made a large difference in enjoyment of my records.
I use the Knosti Disco Antistat Vinyl Record Cleaning Machine Cleaner Kit.I finally put together an ultrasonic cleaner, and then use a Nitty Gritty vacuum to remove the liquid. I've found this to be, by far, the best way to get your vinyl as clean as possible. I'll never go back to a just a wet brush or even a wet vacuum. Here in the States, we can put together an ultrasonic cleaner for under $200, using a Chinese ultrasonic vat and a slow rpm motor.
it does the job but i would like to get the Project Vacuum cleaning machine.
However the Knosti makes a big difference to most records.it comes with a stand for drying
that holds 15 lps i have another stand on the way that hots 20 allowing me to clean more at the same time.
however i know people like to clean records in many different ways
so i guess it is what works for them. I would like to know how you clean your Vinyl.

Nice haul Laura, two of my favorites. :thumb: Hope all is well in the midwest, and all are staying safe. Have a great fall. They're talking snow above 4000' here tonight, highs this weekend in the mid 40s, and just talked to Fairbanks which got 4" of the white stuff last night. :duh: We've gone from summer to almost winter in 2 weeks.Hi JD, Nice to hear from you. I hope all is well in the PNW. I'm well. I've attended both Mizzou games in CoMo and will attend my third this Sat when the Tigers play KY. I became the proud owner of a golden doodle puppy on June 19. He just turn 6 months and is about 40 lbs. He still has some growing to do. He is a great companion. I haven't figured out his favorite artists yet. :lol: We have cooled down substantially to highs in the low 50s and lows in the high 30s/low 40s. Nice thunderstorm overhead right now. Stay safe!
Take Care,
JD
I'll check it out.
Crazy good. If you don't have this one Vinyl Lady, get it (https://www.discogs.com/Flower-Travellin-Band-Satori/release/14039775).
Only had to wait around 20 years but it finally showed up.
MUCH better than the CD I've had forever.
