Viva la Vinyl!!


Hey fellow vinylphiles! How about some feedback on any new vinyl discoveries, particularly on the fairly regular stream of reissues. Any real gems? Any dogs to avoid? None of us want to drop 25-30 bucks on a 180 gram slab 'o' vinyl only to discover something better heard on CD (OK you CD diehards, no offense - I listen to the silver discs too, just not NEARLY as often) Anyway, let's hear it for the continuing vinyl renaissance!

Thanks for the input!! I had been wondering about the MONO Hendrix 'Axis' LP, as I already have the stereo reissue, but I think I'll spring for the Classic. It's also always great to hear of a great reissue that obviates the need to cough up big bucks for a costly (and often overrated) MoFi. A few rarities I've come across lately and can enthusiastically recommend are: The Japanese version of Pink Floyd "The Wall" (40AP 1750~1) and a British pressing of Crowded House "Woodface" (064-7 93559 1). The latter was purchased from Tom Port at Better Records. I also understand that DCC is going to press some more vinyl soon (not sure of titles, but they had stopped pressing after some bad investments apparently). I have not heard a DCC LP title that I haven't considered STELLAR (musical taste aside). Keep those recommendations coming!
