What vinyl are you listening to?

[Lost Angeles]

Playing Lynyrd Skynyrd first album.

"Tuesday's gone with the wind" brilliant. But back in 53 hours.

Amorphis - `Silent Waters` Double Red vinyl.

Don`t think there are many bands making better melodic metal than Amorphis during the last few years. If you`re going to listen to coloured vinyl then try and make it red if possible.

 

[survivor]

Blood Ceremony - `Living With The Ancients` Double red/black vinyl.

Ah yes, love this. You can`t beat a bit of Witchcraft metal. The vinyl is a lovely deep red and black mix which suits the album content to perfection. Don`t even consider attending any Halloween parties later this year if this isn`t on the playlist!

Jim Steinman and Fire Inc. - `Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young` 12" single.

Reliving my younger days with two consecutive blasts of this single on the headphones. It`s taken from the `Streets Of Fire` soundtrack and features a great vocal from a singer called Holly Sherwood. Very dramatic intro indeed. Sadly didn`t get very far in the charts back in 1984.

Renaissance - `Novella`

My love for Renaissance grows greater with the passing of the years. This isn`t a great copy however. Think I`ll have to look for another.

Mellow Candle - `Swaddling Songs`

I was delighted when Tapestry Records re-issued this terrific 70`s Folk Rock album a few years ago. Worth adding to your collection if you like a little bit of Folk.

 

[Amyl Right Mate]

Message to Bears - Departures

 

[survivor]

Frank Sinatra - `In The Wee Small Hours`

Going to be trying out a lot of vinyl over the next three weeks as I give the new amp some serious testing to see if it's a keeper

Have you re-inforced the floor

I believe these XTZ's are pretty big babies, are they not?

I'll be interested to hear how they perform, there's been quite some talk about them on here and other sites.

[DIB]

Just came back from walking the dog in the local park, and there was a car boot sale on, so picked up three albums for a tenner off my usual stall. Will have some good listening tonight...

Win, Lose or Draw - Allman Brothers Band

No Smoke Without Fire - Wishbone Ash

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart

First glance they all look in excellent condition, but I've bought loads off the same guy over the last 18 months or so and they are invariably cleaned and in good nick. He's a top bloke, and I don't even bother checking them now at his stall, just buy 'em!

Thankfully I have concrete floors and the bottom shelf of my unit hasn't started groaning just yet.

Having had a Jungson JA-88D which was even bigger and heavier I was happy (as was my wife) that it didn't look as big as expected, maybe down to the two-tone finish

.Build quality is excellent, better than I would have expected from a 600 quid amp.

Initial feelings are very positive although it has shown a setup issue with my turntable (excessive sibilance) which is not evident on digital replay via the DAC. Of course this could be down to initial breaking in of the electronics but I will be tinkering with the deck this afternoon just to cover my bases.

A bit of a mix but all very well cut apparently!

I have got number 169 out of 3000 of the Blues Band album , which is also autographed by the band . Do you think it is worth more than the 99p you paid for your copy ?

Jethro Tull "Broadsword and the Beast"

What a brillant album,great cover too!

 

[Joe10155]

Shropshire lad,

Well there is a "Limited Edition" copy of it on Amazon for £14.95 & a white cover copy for £25.00; no mention of it being autographed though. So you may make a few bob if you're lucky.

 

[Lost Angeles]

Jethro Tull "Broadsword and the Beast"

What a brillant album,great cover too!

Very well produced and sounds excellent on vinyl.
