The Vinyl Thread

[Joey788]

I've had minimal luck so far on my top picks. No Red Hill or Bowie yet.

I did grab The Cure acoustic set, the Blade Runner soundtrack and a Sharon Jones single.

Not a RSD release but I did also grab an original radio test pressing of The Fly for $5.

Going to try one more place, then I'm calling it.

So after all that, I walk into Rough Trade on Sunday at 4 pm and find several copies of Red Hill Mining Town! And of course Rough Trade had by far the longest line on Saturday, so long that I didn't even bother as I figured everything would be sold out.

They must have gotten a ton of copies.

Well, there is one alternative explanation.

Strange. I stopped by on Sunday too and couldn't find it. But also didn't bother to pay too much attention.

Got my reissue of HTDAAB today in the mail. Nice to fill this hole in my collection without breaking the bank

97-2007 is one big gaping hole in my U2 collection that I wish to fill.

 

[DeVaul]

I got my ship notification for HTDAAB yesterday. Huzzah.

$24.99 at my local record store.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Of course, I also got a new October reissue which has the wrong booklet in it (came with the UF book)!

I'm curious to know if the HTDAAB vinyl improves on the mastering at all. Everyone made fun of Metallica for how unbelievably shitty the Death Magnetic CD sounded, but they fixed some of the issues for the vinyl because, had they left the levels where they were, the record would have exploded.

My understanding is that it is an exact repress of the original vinyl release - which is 1,000,000 x better than the clipped-to-buggery cd.

It is!

Now listening to my favorite GbV album. And it's Orwell's favorite album too.

I can't remember if we have a now listening thread.

Picked up a reissue of Talk Talk's Colour of Spring. This version has been cut from original tapes and includes a DVD audio version of the album. It sounds so good.

 

[Danny Boy]

I picked up the same reissues of Colour of Spring and Spirit of Eden a couple of years ago. They both sound great.

My ortofon 2m red cartridge is just about done. I'm going to upgrade to the 2m blue in a couple weeks.

I aldo picked up the new Geffen records reissue of Elliott Smith's Figure 8. Sad to say I never listened to this album in its entirety.

 

[david]

Also.

Breaking in my new ortofon 2m blue cartridge...

I turned 40 today so I'm drinking good whiskey, eating good Mexican food and listening to good music.

Probably to the much chagrin of Laz, I picked up Thriller. It arrived today. Hard to believe I'd only ever heard 3 songs from it before I listened to it today. That said, I now know where some of Kanye's most famous samples come from. Ha! Anyway, what a great collection of songs, even if the production seems cheesy to modern standards. Immediately love it! Again, can't believe I'd never heard it before.

This floors me..that you'd never heard it all before. But stoked that you've (re)discovered.

Curious, which 3 songs were the ones you knew? There were at least 5 or 6 top 40 hits I thought.

The closing track remains one of my favorite slow jams of all times. Stellar.

 

[Mack_Again]

man i really regret not getting the copy of Failure's Magnified when i was in Ann Arbor

Thriller, Beat It, and Billie Jean.

The kid from Inhaler is on the cover of this album by this band.

$35 is quite steep, but I really want the blue Zooropa vinyl:

The golden Joshua Tree vinyl is also pretty cool, but I spent a lot of time in the audiophile version when they released the remastered, so not buying this again.
