Paul Rogers, The Royal Sessions. A few years back I picked up Amused to Death, the most expensive album I've bought. How much did you pay for yours? I do have the same album on preorder from Acoustic Sounds hopefully they will get it made soon , latest info states October this year. Good Listening Peter |
I take it you mean vinyl. Like Mofi I spend a good deal of cash each money buying music, though my purchases are typically on CD. I do buy some vinyl. The latest vinyl purchases, all from Amazon: Led Zeppelin III (pre-order) Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - 'Will the Circle be Unbroken' 40th Anniversary edition Grateful Dead - One from the Vault Rich |
The Doors: Morrison Hotel *QRP 45 Tedeschi-Trucks Band: The newer live one 3LP set The Beatles: Revolver: Orange Label *used Joni Mitchel: Hejira Have bought 2 used copies lately David Crosby: If I could only remember the title. Rich: I just saw One From the Vault at AUX 33 in Montreal and passed. It was actually higher priced there, or I may have grabbed it. How does it sound ??? |

What fun to see all the responses in this thread!! I will definitely look into what you bought and see if there can be any good tips for me there! My original intention was not that it would necessarily be vinyl albums. I thought the CD and possibly high res. downloads could also be involved. The idea was that the music itself could be the center of this thread. But I think it's great that you who bought vinyl records also gives us this extra information that is exciting and interesting to other vinyl lovers ... f.ex labels, price, quality and where you bought the album etc! And me who think that the vinyl world is exciting and attractive but have not yet taken the plunge into the world among arms and needles it`s also exciting and fun to read! I guess it's very addictive! ;) It was not long ago I approached the high-end world. Right now I'm about to get a better dac with more analog feel, bigger soundstage, better details, clearer sound bodies, more blacks, 3D, etc to get some closer to the sweet and liquid sound. But later on, it may well be a vinyl player on the shelf when I have some vinyl left over from the time when I was young. Just have to convince my wife that we need one first .. ;) So my last purchase (Roger Waters "Amuzed To Death") was a CD that was ripped to my computer and my musicprogram JRiver (I'm afraid to listen to this amazing album on vinyl when I think I get stuck and will put family finances under hefty pressure!;). I really hope that you continue to share what you buy for music and even commenting in this thread and maybe others, so we can get advice from each other about quality music that embellish life! Thank you all! And I wish you wonderful days with wonderful music! Trainleader / Daniel. |
agree that the Doug McLeod is really good, just got Brand New Eyes. Also Wood Brothers, Ways Not to Lose (CD) Brian Bromberg, Wood II (CD) Gregory Porter, Liquid Spirit (HDtracks) Hans Theessink and Terry Evans, Delta Time (CD) Lorde, Pure Heroine (HDtracks) Phoebe Snow ($2 LP at Half Price Books, pristine and sounds great!) Tedeschi Trucks Band, Everybody's Talking (CD) Trace Bundy, Adapt (CD and bonus DVD shows his astounding technique--fun!) I rip the CDs to FLAC lossless digital files and play them thru my Bryston BDP1 and NAD M51--think they sound better that way. |
First UK press of Floyd's A Nice Pair, which is a two-fer of their first two albums. The matrix numbers on Piper at the Gate are the same as the original pressing, which is now unobtanium. The two-fer, released in the early 70's, is gettable and by comparison, cheap. (Look for the one with the 'Dr.Phang' image on the cover (which was later deleted for legal reasons) as well as comparing matrix numbers. |
Dylan Highway 61 --mofi 45 rpm Springsteen--American Beauty R.E.M.--Unplugged Sam Cooke--Ain't That Good News--ABKO The Zombies--Odessey and Oracle Elton John--Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (40th ann ed)--Yellow vinyl Sharon King and the DapTones--Give The People What They Want used Steve Miller--Fly Like an Eagle--first prssing Diana Ross and the Supremes Greatest Hits Have not put Dylan on the table yet but all of the Dylan mofi 45s have been spectacular. Sam Cooke album sounds great. Elton is also excellent--close to a match on my original first pressing and better than all digital formats and redbooks I have incl mofi gold, sacd, hi rez and 40th anniversary reissue all of which I also have. Incidentally, the 40th ann redbook bests only a few prior digital versions so only purchase if you want the extras. Springsteen sounds like the usual slightly better than hash sound he produces for some time now. But the songs are good. Sharon Jones sounds like analogue Motown coming out of DapKing studios. Zombies sound great. Diana Ross-you all know how those Motown records sound. R.E.M.--not yet on the table. |
I just bought an RCA 1s Al Hirt Music to watch girls by,a Tina Turner 12" 45,and a Sting 12" 45 yesterday.I have the Al Hirt on CD and LP but the first side of the LP has been damaged by previous owner.I compared side 2 which is a 6s I think to the CD and went right on Ebay to buy the mint 1s,LP much better. |
I bought this LP from Todd Garfinkle over at MA Recordings. J. S. Bach Goldberg Variations LP 20th Anniversary Edition Info: http://www.marecordings.com/main/product_info.php?products_id=53 Really good stuff from Ito Ema and MA Recordings. |
Gregory Porter- Liquid Spirit on vinyl pressed in Germany. A great contemporary singer who is both soulful, jazzy and insite-full. Compared to the CD, the vocal is more natural, organic, the bass is deeper and richer, the horns are more brassy. So many contemporary LPs suffer from digital sourcing. In this case, the transfer is very successful. |
