Vinyl

Seems like a lot of people have a negative feeling towards it. I always loved the epic opening to Crazy everytime I listened to it, and of course Waiting So Long is just sublime. Never got into the big hits like It's Raining Again but what do I know? Currently I'm going through Relayer and let me just say that it's a breeze to just sit back and let my computer convert it without any of my physical input when it's playing Gates. And that's accompanied with the music as well.

Recently treated myself with a few vinyls for my birthday the other day:

Looking forward to some interesting releases, like he says, stuff that may have never been released on vinyl or very limited runs. Maybe IR will look into prog rock albums from the 90's that only got CD released, or stuff from the 70's that was never reissued.

^ I went to the store yesterday and asked about the order and I'm glad I did: there was some confusion with the ordering process because two employees handled it. I'm waiting for a confirmation, I hope they won't forget about it too

Seriously, how can someone read this Hawkwind CD booklet?

Not that CNN is all that, but nice article preparing for Vinyl Record Day, the unofficial holiday which I think is loosely based on Edison's creation of the phonograph. I am sure there will be more articles in the next 24 hours.......Spin some vinyl on Aug 12, 2015!

I've done some comparisons of vinyl rips from the same rig (excellent, but not mine) of the Rush reissues and the original issues. I have to say that the reissues have come out on top every single time, from Rush to Hemispheres, even as good as the originals sound. So clean, rich, no smiley-face boosting like on so many reissues. The most dramatic differences IMO are A Farewell to Kings and Caress of Steel.
