Coldplay... Parachutes (2000)

I cannot believe the quality of the milking and recording in this LP. Costly, but I feel is pressed in very heavy vinyl, not quite 180gms, but very good.

Cool to know, the CD is more than a bit irritating (the recording/playback, the tunes are good, tho)

It would be a good comparison to do a shootout between the CD version and the LP. I think the pricing of the vinyl version says it all, it is geared either for the hardcore fan or for the vinylhead. The reason why I got the title was the song "spiderweb" which I had somehow gotten hold of, maybe via some grey MP3 and was really "spinning inside my head" as I take the NYC subway. Guess, I must be one of the few Mp3 downloaders who actually went out there and got the original.

Hey!

I picked up a copy of Zero 7 "When it Fall" on LP from Music Direct about 2 months ago.

What a great trip-hop/electronic/chill-out album!

A mix of R&B, soul, jazz and electronic. Just grab a glass of nice merlot, dim the light, drop the stylus into the grove and just relax.

The LP sound very good also. One of my favorite track on that album is "The Space Between" The opening with the lovely female vocal just melt me away!.

Anyway, check it out http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001HAHY6/qid=1143249235/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_2/104-7057720-9075909?v=glance&s=music&n=507846
Call Music Direct and see if they still have a copy on LP left.

Take care,
Buddy

Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing in the Hands of the Golden Empress/Nino Rojo

Magnificent. You have to buy them separately on CD.

Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

Vinyl version much more "alive" than the CD.

Johnny Cash - Blood, Sweat and Tears

Newly reissued; wonderful.

X - Under the Big Black Sun

This is one great album, and not just because it has Blue Spark.

well as I'm setting here I'm listening to Ella Fitzgerald singing "The Duke Ellington Song Book." Prior to that it was "the Diz" and his big band.
Tonight it's a very, very mint box set of Toscanini, and four finger of Jim Beam Black. Yes the good life!

Just finished listening to Jimmy Smith's "Go For Watcha Know" on blue note (w/stanley turrentine, kenny burrell, monty alexander et al.) and now have a mint copy of Edith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" (in english) spinning - it's a pretty good night already!
