Is that Ga Ga Ga Ga? I've been trying to get hold of that album for quite a while - wicked stuff from what I've heard.

Recently I got DJ Shadow's Endtroducing on vinyl, but the second LP was missing... 🙁

Yeah even the mighty Metallica is doing another batch of reisue stuff on vinyl.

Kill'em'all and Ride the lightning is out, Puppets and Justice is planned for july/august.

45 rpm 180 gram double disc's and the other version is single disc.

Get you copies now!

In early May, I bought a new vinyl LP which was my first "new" LP for over a year, although there is such a massive supply of used LP's that its a great time to get your back catalogue topped up via ebay etc.

Its by UK singer Chris Wood called Tresspaser - the special edition vinyl version comes in a triple gatefold sleeve, with his previous album also included.  Its sounds incredibly good on my Bgram 7000. 

Its just nice" to own items like this - somehow they have more substance than a download or evena CD.  However, you can get the Cd version in Fopp for a tenner  - highly recommended.  His song "The Cottagers Reply" about a Cotwold old timer refusing to sell his house to a London couple is a classic.  Looking forward to hearin him in the summer as a part of the folky "supergroup" The Imagined Village.

On a related note, I just dug out my Stone Roses first album, which as mentioned above, is a version pressed on 180gm viny, on two 45rpm disc, instead of one 33rpm.  Brilliant.

I can recommend all vinyl lovers to check out

That's interesting.

It's totally true about the mastering.

Generally you will do a master for vinyl and a master for digital. 

I'm a musician by profession and I find  that a lot of people really overdo the compression these days, trying to squeeze that "Excitement" factor into the recording. They try to make it sound really "Hot", but the end end result is just ear fry.

A few albums that I've bought recently on Vinyl have sounded a lot more listenable on vinyl than on digital (You get a free copy on mp3 with most vinyl albums now, due to this I've ditched CD's completely).

In the past month or so I've bought the new albums by "Times New Viking" & "the Teenagers", and just got the Vinyl copy of the new Radiohead album (having got the mp3 release when it came out).

The only one where the digital companion is comparable in quality to the vinyl version (what a surprise) is the Radiohead album.

The other two sound insanely harsh on digital and actually pretty perfect on vinyl. I guess just because of the nature of vinyl it warms things up and smooths the edges off. Anyway, my 2 cents.

Thanks

(P.S I just got the heavy vinyl re-issue of Wire's "Chairs Missing" yesterday! It sounds awesome! Next up is the new Spiritualized album and the re-issue triple blue vinyl edition of Dennis Wilson's "Pacific Ocean Blue" CANNOT WAIT)
