Love it - carry on fella|!
This is great. A love rekindled.
Even though it's my own collection I keep having moments of "can't remember buying/owning that" and "oh, I've been looking for that for ages, thought it had gone missing".
A fair amount of the LPs were boxed up in a bit of a rush back in March, at short notice, prior to building work. So many vaguely arranged genres/artists/labels got scattered into totally random storage boxes and then located at various places in and around the vicinity of my crumbling house.
Currently playing loads of Major Force/Mo Wax box set. A blizzard of hip-hop, jazz-funk and crazy Japanese DJ grooves. I remember buying it when DJ Shadow's Entroducing went mainstream and massive. A friend suggested it as "further listening". It certainly is. One of those made for vinyl vibes.
Having a break now. Family duties et al to attend to. Will collect more boxes this,afternoon, for more unpacking tonight. My father in law counted 12 more cases with about 50-60 LPs/12 inch singles per box. Then it's just the loft and garage to go.
Ikea here I come, sometime soon!!!
). and, by and large, they sound much better on vinyl. I've rebought a number of their albums on CD over the years and generally been disappointed. Take the "Hip Priest and Kamerads" compilation - part of the CD have clearly been ripped from a vinyl record! I also got The Smiths vinyl box set about 18 months ago as a present from my wife, but alas, I don't think it's very good (I've never told the missus this, of course). For instance, some tracks are distorted in places (e.g. "Back To The Old House" on "Louder Than Bombs") and, curiously, the high-frequency roll-off as the needle approaches the middle of the record is more pronounced on this collection than any other I own. I'd definitely say the CD versions are better (not to mention a boatload cheaper!).
