Vinyl - Progressive Rock Music Forum

A couple of recent vinyl acquisitions, here's a case in which the CD reissue sleeve is more fetching than the original vinyl:

Sheila Chandra - "Quiet"

But in this case, the original vinyl sleeve is cooler looking to me than the CD reissue.

Sheila Chandra - "The Struggle"

Great pressing plant, great website too...Filled with lots of info on the format we so love.

Played my copy of 'Selling England by the Pound' that I bought last month yesterday and the needle gets stuck between 'Dancing With the Moonlit Knight' and 'I Know What I Like'. It's pretty annoying but at least it's not in the middle of a song Ermm

The stylus must like playing Dancing With the Moonlit Knight........ LOL

It's exactly on the darkest part that separates the two tracks (does this have a name?) so I think it doesn't like 'I Know What I Like' LOL

I'm not a big fan of that track either Tongue

Yes....."the darkest part that separates the two tracks "

The "Inter-groove"

There, I coined a new term.

Spreading the vinyl fever to your family? Tongue

One of my first CD's was the third from My Chemical Romance, I used to play it a lot but I don't remember the last time I did. I should spin it again Smile

I also used to listen around that time to Fall Out Boy, before they became Sell Out Boy LOL

^^ That's basically what I did. Wink

^ Not yet....my original copy is in VG+ condition.....so I am thinking hard about it.

From the mid 80s to early 90s, it was my practice to sell my vinyl if/when I bought the title on CD. At the time, I figured I was trading up, and that the vinyl was obsolete. Plus (especially), that was a time in my life where I didn't really have any income to speak of, so selling LPs was a good way to get CD money. "All the World's a Stage" was one such casualty of this regrettable policy of mine. I only have a few Rush vinyls left - Permanent Waves, A Farewell to Kings, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure. And this is hard for me to believe, but I have actually never owned 2112, Fly By Night, Hemispheres, or the 1st album in any physical format! Apart from cassette copies of friends' albums. Of those four, I could see myself getting 2112 and Fly By Night on vinyl and really digging it. I'm not as hot on the other two albums (those I can settle for on CD someday).

Well I have all Rush albums they issued on vinyl, everything from the 70s and 80s. I also have duplicate on CD, as well as all the 70's catalog on cassette. The biggest part of my collection is Rush, for very good reasons.

I never sold anything, I did loose Moving Pictures in a house move along with other vinyl, so am really anticipating this release in a few months. This is one of the hardest Rush albums to find used, in decent condition, all copies are played to death!

I used to play ATWAS weekly as a teen, 2112 in its entirety was crazy.....I always loved how Geddy introduced the song..."We'd like to play side 1 of our latest album...2112!"

We have all seen bands come and go......This one will hurt when the time comes. I am just glad that I have seen them numerous times in various cities since about '78.

Honestly, there are not many bands that have gotten better as time went on.......Especially as a live show, it truly does not get any better than a Rush show, they have set the bar for prog bands to follow, currently I don't know anyone who could pull it off like they can.

The common denominator is cohesion and loving to play together.
