Vinyl - Progressive Rock Music Forum

In today's mail, all from Sundazed Music...

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home (2001 black vinyl Mono reissue)

John Mayall with Eric Clapton - Blues Breakers (2011 black vinyl Mono reissue)

(This is also posted in the `Recent Purchases' thread, sorry!

)

Kraan's `Live' from 1975 (although recorded in '74), a very welcome surprise today at a local record fair.

This one finally arrived yesterday. It took a long time to get here.

Ruby The Hatchet - Planetary Space Child (2017)

co-incidentally, after an 8 year hiatus between albums...Living Colour's new album Shade has arrived in the post today. It's released standard as a blue and purple swirl vinyl...see here:

I just pre-ordered this bad boy! Should get here in early November, although I think the album actually releases on October 20th. And I'm sure I'm in the minority with this, but I hope this album is more in the vain of Rites At Dawn than their earlier albums. I'm sure I'll enjoy it either way, though.

When they said in the nineties, vinyl is going to disappear, I didn´t believe, I kept on buying all the records in vinyl that came in vinyl. And almost all outside Finland albums was released as vinyls too. Now I am really happy I did that.

Some christmas vinyls I have ordered:

YUP: Homo sapiens

Magma: Emehntehtt-Re

13th Floor Elevators: the Psychedelic sounds of...

John Coltrane: a Love Supreme

Sweet: Strung Up

Link Wray: Jack the Ripper

Nico: the Marble Index

Yup. Vinyl should not die! Vinyl offers a great alternative in audio quality compared to the CD of the last 20 yrs.
The CD of today has been b*****dized into this whole other medium where high compression rates with excessive digital processing reign glaringly as the main characteristics of today's CD pressings.
Gone are the days where the CD was treated with respect and had loads of dynamic range.
Vinyl has a DB range from 0-60 so it makes it more difficult to heavily compress or make a piece of music excessively loud causing your ears to bleed.

My advice. Keep buying vinyl to listen to today's music. Buy CD's pressed originally from the 80's to mid 90's and you are laughing. :)

Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Picked up a used reissue vinyl of Space Shanty ($20) the other day and an If (6)album ($5)....at a local vinyl shop run by this kid who is into garage bands from the 60's.

Also bought some early jazz vinyl , Adderley, McCann, etc..$2 each.. at a local antiques mall....and found a copy of Citadel by Starcastle for $2. ;)

A guy there has a nice collection of classic rock stuff to sell but never really has any old prog...man it's getting really hard to find old and obscure prog on vinyl.

One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.
