| Tom petty record misprint @larsman - I was thinking about that one, too, and I need to dig it out: it's been much too long since I gave it a spin. The Appetite for Destruction remaster and a couple of the Neil Young Archives releases have had a side 4 with no music, too, ... | |
| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? I guess it depend on how one defines "understand"; there are always additional layers of understanding and countless ways our aging and the passing of the decades changes things. For example, we "understand" Elvis's music and impact differently n... | |
| Top 10 Live Albums These seem to have been missed: The Dream Syndicate: Live at Raji's - An absolutely stunning album featuring a fantastic band at the peak of its power. Truly a magical, enthralling thing to behold. Bob Dylan: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 4: Bob Dyl... | |
| Tom petty record misprint The live record with that set (Official Live 'Leg) is blank on side B by design. On the Discogs link, you'll see that all the songs are listed on side A, and I checked on my copy, and it is the same way: no songs on side B. Having a blank side i... | |
| Tom petty record misprint Something really is odd because according to Discogs (see link below), this compilation wasn't released on vinyl; are you sure the title is correct? https://www.discogs.com/master/265252-Tom-Petty-And-The-Heartbreakers-Anthology-Through-The-Years | |
| AI and the future of music There is one way that AI could benefit music that seems not to have been addressed in this thread (unless I overlooked it): the ability to clean up music recorded in the first half of the 20th Century. When the Revolver remaster came out last yea... | |
| 45 Singles You Just Had to Buy The most recent one I recently picked up was the English 12" 45 for "Money for Nothing"; it's the only way I know of to get the complete version of that song on vinyl; oddly enough, the album version on vinyl is a shorter version, and I just had t... | |
| Audiphile Press: Am I jaded, experienced, or has it declined? Thanks so much for the ChatGPT responses; those are actually entertaining. The fact is that all print media is in its sunset (even if it only published as a PDF), and I would say that a lot of discussion about audio has moved to YouTube and onlin... | |
| Favourite Guitarists Since no one’s mentioned Johnny Thunders, I will. He may not have been technically proficient, but he played with more attitude than anyone before or since. I often find myself returning to "Frankenstein," "Vietnamese Baby," and "Bad Girl," all o... | |
| The Killer Has Died On the way home last night I put in Live at the Star Club and turned it up in his honor. He was a true original and the last of the Million Dollar quartet; he may have been the last living link to that time and place. For those who are intereste... | |
| The Beatles Revolver I, for one, am looking forward to hearing the new mix. Last year, I heard a bootleg remix from someone who dubbed himself Lord Reith who de-mixed and re-mixed most of the Beatles' material, and when I heard his new version of Revolver, it was an ... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding I've enjoyed reading these posts. I think the difference between hoarding and collecting (as it seems to me) is that collectors are intentional and specific about what they accumulate while hoarders just like to have stuff. If you can still fin... | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito Given the excellent reviews on the MoFi albums, the experts involved, and the astronomical bit rate now possible, I would say that gerryah930 is likely correct that "the digital masters probably sound better than the aged tapes." Even though I do... | |
| Becoming an audiophile has been like a second... No, third childhood. I've long believed in viewing the world with the wide-eyed wonder of a child, and the joy that music can deliver hits that spot, that ability to be touched and amazed by an experience with art. I hope I never lose touch with that part of myself. ... | |
| What is your record cleaning regimen? Here's my simple, budget-friendly process: 1- Place the record on the turntable and place the record clamp on it 2 - Take a piece of dark corduroy (a 5" x 12" piece that is rolled up) and spray a couple times with spray bottle of distilled water... |
