I don't have an original copy to reference, but I think the reissue sounds pretty darn good. The website does say that it was remastered though: "The album has been remastered by Steven Wilson and the 2017 master has features noticeably less compression and limiting in order to provide a more dynamic listening experience."

Had a pretty decent haul over the weekend, gonna be digging through these for some samples for the next couple weeks. The Spinners - Pick of the Litter (with popouts still intact!) Kayak - Starlight Dancer LTD - Togetherness Diana Ross - Baby It's Me Cal Tjader Quintet - Mambo with Tjader (red see-through vinyl, kinda neat) Jean MIchel Jarre - The Essential Jean Michel Jarre Quincy Jones - Body Heat Grover Washington Jr. - A Secret Place The Pretenders - Pretenders II (album with Louie Louie on it) Dakota Staton - I Want a Country Man Billy Strange - Mr. Guitar I got all of these at a Dimple Records for less than $40. Unfortunately, I have now picked clean 3 different Dimple Records in the area and they don't get new supply very often. Think there is only one more local one I can hit up but they have been a treasure trove.

Omg whyyyyy? I suppose I could be talked into doing this as a fun project with my kids if the price point was like $20, but no way in hell I’d pay $130 for it. That’s nuts.

Checked out a new record store yesterday that is pretty close to my work office. Everything is organized by genre and artist which made browsing really easy and the quality of the records was incredible. Some 30+ year old records had barely a blemish on the cover, much less the record itself. I ended up grabbing a few good ones. Herbie Hancock - Future Shock The Crusaders - Scratch (Live recorded at The Roxy) The Crusaders - Southern Comfort Stevie Wonder - Music of My Mind Stevie Wonder - Innervisions Donna Summer - Love to Love You Baby Ray Charles - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind There is a record event at the local record store tomorrow where they have a bunch of vendors come and sell their records. I am hoping to find a good collection of someone's oldies that I can swoop or some late 80s early 90s hip-hop.

There was a Record Day event in my city today and it was my first time attending an event like this. I had a loving blast and spent probably two and a half hours browsing and buying records. I definitely spent a good amount of money but feel like the records I got were WELL worth the price. One dude had like 3x crates of good quality records that he was selling for $10/5 records. I grabbed a bunch of Rick James, Marvin Gaye, and Ray Charles from him and he showed me his collection of rare hip-hop. My eyes jumped out of my head when I came across Jay Dilla's "Donuts" record, it is one I have been looking for everywhere and since I started collecting. Listening to it now and it is absolutely incredible. Here are some pictures and a full list of what I grabbed today.   Jay Dilla - Donuts Butcher Beats & Breaks Dr Dre - Bad Intentions Single Dilated People's - Worst Comes to Worst Single (and remix) Isaac Hayes - Don't Let Go (thrown in for free with a few others) Funkadelic - The Electric Spanking of War Babies KRS-ONE - Five Boroughs A Tribe Called Quest - Oh My God Public Enemy - Shut Em Down Public Enemy - You're Gonna Get Yours Slick Rick - Children's Story The Crusaders - The 2nd Crusade The Crusaders - Rhapsody & Blues The Crusaders - Images Donna Summers - She Works Hard for the Money The Isley Brothers - Harvest for the World Earth, Wind, & Fire - That's the Way of the World Lionel Richie - Dancing In the Celing Smokey Robinson - Where There's Smoke Bootsy's Rubber Band - The Boot is Made For Fonkn Bootsy's Rubber Band - Jungle Bass Marvin Gaye - Midnight Love Marvin Gaye - In Our Lifetime Rick James - Throwin' Down Rick James - Cold Blooded Rick James Stone City Band - Come Get It! The Who - Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy Kool & The Gang - Forever Ahmad Jamal - Happy Moods Ahmad Jamal - Jamal at the Persing Johnny Guitar Watson - Funk Beyond the Call of Duty Yah....I went a little overboard but gently caress it.

Still no sign of my FLORAL SHOPPE record that was supposed to ship back in September and then again by the end of January or whatever. Not sure if it's worth it to try and get OESB dude to be held accountable over $25.

Some people have received it, just a case of try forget it exists then be surprised when it eventually shows. I don’t even know where my copy will eventually go as they seemed to indicate the PayPal address will be used not the Bandcamp one. So maybe mine will go to either my old house or my parents around 5,000 miles away.

So I picked this table up looking for a gift for my brother: But the stylus in the cartridge looks bad:  I hooked up an old stanton I had and it plays records ok but when I place the rubber platter that was on it at purchase it makes a scraping noise. It sounds like the actual platter is scraping the bottom of the plianth? Is this an issue where I should raise the platter or a more serious suspension issue or is the rubber just too drat heavy? It weighs 12 oz. Edit: nevermind, it appears to very lightly scrape still, even without a record on it Mad Emu Sex0r fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Mar 5, 2018 |

Looked up replacement stylus assemblies for that Shure and... they're pretty expensive. Sell that cart as is I'm sure someone'll want it. (Jesus christ the prices people are asking for just the body on Ebay though.)

i'm finally tackling the crazy pileup of records in my living room. a bunch have been sitting in boxes that are sagging on the ends so that's cool, they're probably all hosed up and warped now. another bunch has been sitting piled up, including some 7"s that probably got hosed, so that's also very cool. also they're all insanely covered in dust and loving with them for two minutes has already got my hands bleeding; it's like i've got the authentic record store experience right at home!! i probably should get more permanent shelving at some point, but until then, y'all got any hot box recommendations? i used to use plastic milk crate-likes, but even those sagged on the ends when i put enough records in. i'd actually love these cheapo cardboard ones, but somehow three of them are $14 to ship, grr. I've got a Container Store near me that sells these pricey plastic ones, but they hold 90 records and they're stackable, so I could get away with just getting two I guess.

jiffypop45 posted:Are reissues as bad as people have me believe? I remember reading that reissues are generated from digital in lieu of actual master discs so the analog sound aesthetics are lost. To dig back a page - A lot of this is audiophile bullshit, and some of it is true. It really becomes a case by case thing. By and large, analog and digital don't really matter. Back when Queen did their vinyl reissues, they were cut from high resolution digital files because the restoration work that had been done on the tapes were done in the digital realm. The tapes were worn down through the and storage (and probably the binding issue that impacts some tapes also affected it). Generally speaking, an analog cut might sound better because you know they went back and remaster the title directly for vinyl. But it's more about knowing the care was put into the record over the source material. A lot of the analog sound has to do with the tools that were used - an analog compressor sounds very different to a digital compressor. Most work is done within the digital domain. That's just the way it is. Some people don't like that, and that's their right.

I have mine currently stored in a box an ex of my mother's made in the 80s and I have no idea how it's held up. It's actually starting to fall apart so I'm in a similar way as you. The plastic looks strong, waterpeoof and would be amazing for moves its just not particularly aesthetically pleasing for long term storage.

RSD dropped the official list of things you probably do not need. Personal "hey that would be sort of cool" items include ... The Cure's Mixed Up (really, I'm not big on the remixes but "Never Enough" was a pretty great late era big-guitar track from mopey pants) The fairly sprawling Brawlers, Bawlers, and Bastards from Tom Waits where each B is a separately sold double LP. Tom Waits fans have mad cash right? Thelonious Monk's Monk because I like jazz and I'm reaching after only 2 items I like the early Stones enough to actually want some of their stuff on vinyl, but I feel like a tool having my first purchase be the RSD release of Their Satanic Majesties Request. That Brian Eno/Kevin Shields release sounds wonderful (even if I want to punch the description in the face) but man it's probably a silly spend for a double A-Side 12". RSD is still at thing, and at least ONE of you is interested in the exclusive [I[Return to Pooh Corner[/I[ LP from Kenny Loggins.

I'm not sure I "get" record store day. Can someone give me a quick explanation of how it works? Looking through the list, I also saw a Johnny Guitar Watson album (Giant) and the Wu-Tang Clan's first album along with an instrumental version of The Saga which looks really cool.
