When opening a record for the first time!

[bigfish786]

Some of my thoughts are....

i hope it's coloured vinyl.

I hope it's heavyweight vinyl.

I hope it's just one record. (Lazy)

i hope it's a double album (sound quality)

i hope it's 45rpm (s.q)

hope it's a good copy!

Surely you'd know most of that before you bought it?

Presumably you mean the album by Kate Bush and not the one by Patrice Rushen?

Still available on Amazon at an inflated price,and snvinyl at a reasonable £57 if you can ever get him to deliver ;-)

Me:

- Opening it. That feeling of pulling the shrinkwrap off for the first time and easing out the inner sleeve is level on my pleasure-scale with eating chocolate. (And I'm fat and I love chocolate.)

- I hope it's not pressed off centre. 29 years with digital as a primary souce makes me hugely perceptive of wow, and annoyed by it. Several LPs that I've owned for decades I find I can't listen to now because of wow, but at the time of buying them I'm not even sure I noticed it.

- Will it sound good. In 2010 I bought my first 7" single for over 20 years, it was one of the 'record store day' records and I quickly realised it probably wasn't intended for actually playing. It was brand new but sounded like it had already been played repeatedly on a 78rpm gramophone. The vinyl was painfully thin and (mildly) warped but the main reason it sounded so bad was probably because it had been pressed using worn-out stampers.

In ascending order of importance:

4. Hope it's not coloured vinyl.
3. Hope it's not faulty.
2. Hope it's a decent pressing (preferably MPO/GZ Media/Optimal Media).
1. Hope I like the music.

I hope it's a good pressing.

I hope it's black and shiny.

I hope it doesn't snap, crackle or pop.

I hope we've got baked spuds with cheese 'n' beans for tea....
