Lucinda Williams "Good Souls, Better Angels" |
Absolutely love "Ecology"!!! |
Vanessa Fernandez "Use Me" 45 rpm |
|
Paul "Band on the Run" from the archives |
Hall & Oates "Abandoned Luncheonette" MFSL so great! |
Ex Hex "Rips"
I'd rate this lp a 7.5 for sonics, a 9 for content. |
Always loved Rare Earth's record label design. |
Just held up to a light, my EU copy of "Achtune Baby" and it is translucent like the JVC vinyl. |
Sides 1 & 2 of a flattened Jesse Sykes "Like, Love & Lust...." |
Anthony Wilson "Frogtown" EX! |
@uberwaltz,
You got my gander up, when you informed us of your purchase.
"Gander" is a southern phrase....if you're willin', I have all the time in the world. |
Discogs seems to be a great resource...for me, I've had little luck in buying lps that were properly graded. On top of that, when communicating to a seller about my concerns, somehow, I'm the "nut" that doesn't get it. |
Hey @uberwaltz, could you post a list of the lps you acquired recently? |
FWIW: the differences I hear between the Boston lps....
"S/T"/Holland jacket/no bar code & "Don't Look Back"/w/bar code...
more lower bass frequency expression on "DLB" and slightly less transparent. Otherwise, very similar. |
That 9 makes it an enjoyable record. |
Listened to side one and decided to take it off and US clean it and "Don't Look Back". Will listen later. |
|
@tomic601 ,
I'm not familiar with "Infidels" but know that Mark Knopfler played on "John Wesley Harding"...which I love! |
Boston "S/T" back on now. A very noticeable improvement. What I heard a while ago ( and always bothered me) on "More Than a Feeling" as being somewhat thin, is now absent. More body in the midrange w/ better bass definition.
(I've been tweaking my cleaning solution which is helping) |
@bgross,
It's a really good lp IMO. Just finished relistening. |
The Sarah Jarozs.... highly recommended! |
U2 "Achtune Baby" 1991/EU/OP |
Boston "S/T" I just noticed on the rear jacket "Printed in Holland", I've had this for decades, never saw it before. |
One other of the lps I've experimented with today is the Jesse Sykes "Like, Love & Lust...." It's been through my latest US cleaning, so damn'it, I'm gonna play it again. |
I hope you all aren't taking my posts as me being somehow superior or anything like that. I'm posting from my current status in this hobby to make aware to others what I'm hearing/finding. That's all. I love you all and enjoy hearing everyone's music. |
Mine’s red. In my experience, if there are two label colors for one record, it determines either an original pressing vs a repressing or stereo vs mono. I may be wrong. |
"School’s Out" /very thin vinyl/panties in tact. |
@uber,
Well, that wasn't as long a list as I suspected? I think I have 45% of them and I'm reminded by the list that I wanted to play some Alice today. I own that exact German pressing of Focus "At the Rainbow". Thanks buddy. |
That one sounds tasty, @reubent. That lp was one of my very early major musical influences...probably the reason I own 3 or 4 copies. |
@reubent,
I haven't compared all of my copies, but from my memory and what I've read here through the years, my Castle Recordings re-master/160 gr, is a very good sounding copy. |
|
Nirvana "Nevermind" MFSL. I rarely listened to this lp...putting it through my entire regimen. |
Shelby Lynne & Allison Moorer "Not Dark Yet"
...............................
@uberwaltz,
My request wasn't meant to be a reason to judge, only as a fellow music lover who wanted to enjoy another's lot. |
Made it through side one of "Nevermind". My feeling is that it's not too far off from "Unplugged , New York" . |
The above (lp) is surprisingly good and of exceptionally great sound quality. A rarity, these days. |
I'm cleaning the Focus lp. It has the tri-fold jacket with the center portion, holding the lp. |
See you on the flip side. I’ll probably be ready to take a nap by the time you start posting again.......
You weren’t testing me, were you? |
uber,
If you like Alice Cooper, seek out "Goes to Hell". It’s a sleeper (SQ= off the charts) and should be obtained at very low cost.
.............................
I never buy anything listed below VG+ |
Focus "Live @ the Rainbow" |
"Magical Mystery Tour" from the (mono) box |
Royal Southern Brotherhood "Don't Look Back" |
@tomic601,
You're a better man than I. |
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals "Follow the Lights" |
Richard Thompson "Old Kit Bag" |
|
@big_greg,
The AC/DC box I mentioned the other week......
I saw a sealed copy this week.....AC/DC Collection/2003 all studio lps through "Razors Edge" + Live lp list @ $1100.00 on sale @ $740.00.
WOW! |
|
Ben Howard "Every Kingdom" |
Grateful Dead "In The Dark". My copy is a record club pressing, still, what a great sounding lp! |
