Anybody been Record Shopping today?

[thescarletpronster]

Three good albums there, but I particularly love McCoy Tyner's Expansions.

 

[bigfish786]

The local used record store is now charging premium prices for stuff, disappointing really. So, I'm buying online more and more.

Todays purchaces, from EMP-online.

Pearl Jam - Lightning Bolt

Megadeth - Thirte3n

Faith no More - Album of the Year

got free shipping, and used a fiver off voucher code. All three for £52.00

Im happy with that price.

 

[Waxy]

German Stoner Rock *dirol*

 

[Frank Harvey]

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet

Neil Finn - Dizzy Heights

Todd Terje - It's Album Time

 

[knaithrover]

Love : Forever Changes

Leonard Cohen : The Songs of...

The Zombies : Odessey and Oracle

Captain Beefheart : Clear Spot

I already have Clear Spot from waaaay back but couldn't resist the remaster. All the above brand new from HMV eye watering expensive but worth every single shekel

Do you listen to every single track on Tidal? What's the point in paying for a service that has more tracks than you could ever listen to? 🙂

 

[alasdair1967]

I wasn't being critical at all, far from it just making a comparison. I love records and I love Tidal but don't have a particular allegiance to either.. Tidal is brilliant for casual listening and trying before you buy. Records are for serious listening.

One of my favourite albums ordered. My current copy has seen better days so a mint repress will have to do instead *good*

 

[thescarletpronster]

Picked up a couple of LPs yesterday.

Beth Orton – Kidsticks. A real departure for her, co-written with Andrew Hung from, err, 'Love Buttons'. I like it a lot more than her previous stuff.
Moulettes – Preternatural.

 

[bigfish786]

Got a 20% off promotion, so thought I'd treat myself.

Baroness - Yellow and Green ordered.

[Al ears]

Although there are many I would like to buy I have to wait until the oil price goes back up and I get some work again. It's a bummer. ;-)

 

[thescarletpronster]

Sorry to hear that, Al, and hope you find work soon. Although the irony is that when the oil price goes up the price of vinyl will increase too!

Not by as much as it does at the pumps 🙂

But even if it did I'd be able to afford some......

 

[bigfish786]

Baroness - Purple (you'd have thought it would be purple vinyl) *pardon*

 

[marb67]

Well, after reading about Paul Simon's Graceland as being one of the best examples of a vinyl pressing I can say I am hugely dissapointed. I just bagged a mint 1986 copy for £4. Gave it a clean with the machine and it sounds very mid range with no bottom and even less top end. It sounds like a dull cd. The mastering on viny is awful.

 

[bigfish786]

Maybe that copy has been played to death.

I bought Graceland for 4 quid from a second hand junk shop, and mine sounds fantastic. Maybe keep an eye out for a better/different copy.

 

[hybridauth_Facebook_100004211376004]

I have a first pressing,I'll need to dig it out and have a listen,Graceland was the first Lp I ever bought.
