What vinyl are you listening to?

[Clare Newsome]

Him-indoors has gone out, so I am indulging in an Elvis-fest - all on 45rpm heavyweight vinyl. Bliss 🙂

I'm giving this it's first spin this morning:

It's a really good mono pressing. Sounds great.

I noticed Matthewpiano has this as his Avatar so I thought I'd give it a spin, as a lot of you will know it's one of my fave albums anyway. Wishbone Ash Argus.

TIME WAS when I was nineteen I was BLOWIN FREE
SOMETIME WORLD pass me by again.

Genesis - A trick of the tail

That's a nice record. I really tried to get into the Peter Gabriel era, and just cannot. I prefer Collins on vocals.

Nixon - Lambchop

Oh I love that album, only got it on CD though.

It's one of those albums that was praised to the sky when it was first released and I bought it on the back of the reviews. After the first listen I wondered to myself what all the fuss was about, completely underwhelmed. Gave it another listen, and then another until eventually it really clicked. It's funny that most of my favourite albums start off like that, and you just grow into them.

Anyhow, how does the LP compare with CD? Have you had the opportunity to compare at all?

Lambchop's recordings nearly always sound great to me (in terms of recording and production). However, I have the 1999 original of Nixon and always felt that side 2 has quite a bit or surface noise - possibly I just have a slightly duff copy.

It was reissued as part of City Slang's 20th anniversary about a year ago. Hopefully the new pressing is better and should still be easily available.
