Also got this recently.

These are all in very good condition. I might let some go... haven't decided. I'll never see any of them again if I do. (the ones in the first three images)

All but one of these are barely played. (Well, two are new)

Turns out the Japan album is sort of rare.

Also turns out Crystal Gayle sucks.

I've read a lot about Water Lilly records but never run across them. They are supposedly very high quality pressings. If the music is not to your taste, you can send down to TX and I'll store them for you.

I have to listen to them all, but probably will end up selling something. I know I'm going to sell the Japanese one.

From Jerry's Records, Pittsburgh PA. The Hollies is MONO

Straight from Folsom's collection to mine- check is in the mail, Jeremy.

And the other is a true classic.

Incredibly early 6 eye mono. It is a true NM, cover NM and the pressing is about as early as it gets- 1B,1B.
Deciphering Columbia dead wax is inexact science, but the general consensus is that the 1B master is from the second playing of the mastertape/second lacquer. Now who knows how far down on the stamper this lp was pressed. There were three pressing plants that Columbia used. One speculation is that 1A went to one, 1B to another, and 1C to the third... all could be considered true first pressings.

Adele - 25

Unfortunately it came dished, and the sides sound different, need different volumes. It's also pretty dirty... Lots of finger smudges or something.

* I traded it in for some credit. Just a warning, I was at Barnes & Noble and was informed piles of the "25" album were returned. Sadly I bought it locally so I couldn't get a full return like B&N offers for trashed vinyl

$10 cheaper at B&N than online, had to grab it

I'll try this one out, shouldn't be trashed...

Are you guys ready for this... I asked about bulk pricing because I wanted to buy a lot. When I got told the price I had to grab them all (very cheap). I got a few extras... I might go back and pay full price for some more some time, who knows. It was at a place in the middle of nowhere (IMO). Sorry for horrible pics, there's not a lot I can do in my home

All the ones with red outsides are EMI's from France 'La Voix De Son Maitre' . Condition appears new/mint on all.

S Clark · « **Reply #3049 on:** 19 Sep 2016, 03:43 am »

Wow! That's a find. I've found those french EMI's to be very high quality... and is that an original Janos Starker on Mercury? If so, that's a highly regarded lp.
Nice pickup!

Folsom · « **Reply #3050 on:** 19 Sep 2016, 04:28 am »

Yep.

This is worth getting, best I've heard it.

Folsom · « **Reply #3052 on:** 21 Sep 2016, 02:47 am »

I have no idea how this happened but I scored a second holy grail! It cost me more, but it was still a very reasonable price. (First one was almost free)

S Clark · « **Reply #3053 on:** 21 Sep 2016, 03:05 am »

That is on the list of, and may be, the greatest chamber music recording ever made. Please let us know what it sounds like after you've cleaned it had a chance to listen

Folsom · « **Reply #3054 on:** 21 Sep 2016, 06:16 am »

Since it's the second one I've acquired I can already tell you it sounds fantastic. There's a reason why it's so revered for sure.

vinyl_guy · « **Reply #3055 on:** 21 Sep 2016, 04:31 pm »

I have 3 versions of this album and this is the best Division Bell has ever sounded. Remastered from the original analogue tapes by Doug Sax at The Mastering Lab. Highly recommended. After seeing Steve Ford's post, I may be buying a few more of these new reissues.

Folsom · « **Reply #3056 on:** 22 Sep 2016, 08:22 pm »

That's good. It's ridiculous to think such commonly bought albums couldn't be mastered well enough to supercede old Japanese pressings!
