Looking for a Tubes CD
I was curious so did some research and was unable to find a copy for sale anywhere.The thing is that CD is a 2001 issue which most likely means it has been remastered with compression and had the life sucked out of it.If it were me I would opt for... 
Sundazed Records
Wait for the Quality Record Pressings release coming in August 2013 on the Analogue Productions Label.I've already got The Doors L.A. Woman on this label and it is awesome. So I would expect the Stevie LPs to be just as good.

What do you think of the new "Simply Vinyl" albums
Rubbish! Blondie Parallel Lines on Simply Vinyl is crap. The 1st copy I got was so warped it was unplayable. The replacement one was mostly flat. While the replacement was coming I found a used Mobile Fidelity version at a local store which I purc...

Looking for new places to buy vinyl
Mofimadness... I'm interested, so what Friday Music LPs have you done comparisons with to prove that any of their other LPs are good or better than other versions? If there is an album I really like then I try to find the best sounding version of ...
