Bought Elvis Costellos' First ten years on CD, as a result just bought three vinyls :-

My Aim is True
This years Model
Armed Forces

Still waiting for My Aim is True, but the other two are in great condition, also bought After the Goldrush and Harvest. The copy of Harvest looks absolutely mint but plays a bit crackly? will need to clean it before trying again.

Tapestry 180g reissue - surprisingly excellent SQ as is often the case with this 'unofficial' label. A nicely replicated gatefold sleeve.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51TWycPQSTL._SY355_.jpg

These Sundazed Mono reissues cut by Kevin Gray and pressed at QRP are superb. Also have Mellow Yellow and Hurdy Gurdy Man.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5119Ho4HNtL._SX355_.jpg

Excellent pressing from Optimal but in house mastering from unstated source. Sounds a bit recessed but quite vivid sounding in parts (don't have an original to compare). Cut at lower level than ideal with wider than necessary deadwax.

10-07-2013, 07:45

I sent my Topographics back as i should have done all my re issues :rolleyes: but your right with the unofficial releases they are good.

Audioman

10-07-2013, 08:25

Trouble is too much hassle with ebay overgrading on used vinyl these days. Especially with Topographic having lots of quiet bits and the optimistic asking prices. I'm sure this Optimal/Rhino is better than the Friday Music version judging from comments elsewhere. I also got it for only £13 Amazon pre-order. :) However I was expecting a Chris Bellman cut like the Rhino Close To the Edge. :(

Rare Bird

10-07-2013, 13:28

To be honest Paul i think ive got myself into control with my obsessions, it no longer bothers me about battered packets or crackles on used records, i am totally & utterly unhappy with new releases un im wasting no more money on em'.. They are history, im gradually replacing them with used vinyl..

However i recieved a used copy of Sabbaths 'Bloody Sabbath' this morning it was scruffy & crackled like mad, ive been down & had it cleaned proffesionally twice over, virtually dead silent.. :thumbsup:

Audioman

10-07-2013, 13:41

Sometimes records clean up nicely and frankly I don't play used vinyl until it's been through my Okki Nokki, but truth is recently (last 2/3 years) more records are 'not as described'. At one time you would get 90% of vinyl in top condition with no more than slight cover imperfections as long as you avoided VG and below. I have quite a number of reissues that are better than originals. Usually have to also get the original just to prove it. That Rhino Close To The Edge mastered by CB is up there so it perplexes me why Grundman mastering wasn't used for Topographic Oceans. Most EU Rhino titles have been mastered by Kevin Gray or Chris Bellman up till now.

Rare Bird

I don't like all that Folk stuuf, does'nt do anything for me...

A late Re-Issue of Locomotive 'We Are Eerything You See' on Zap! Records, it was a chance but sounds good, i could never afford an original 1st issue these days on Parlophone.
Ben 's/t' i couldnt resist this as i could never afford an original Swirley these days, ive had this issue before & sounds just as good to me, sleeve construction/finish is very good..
Very lucky scoring a NM Coley 'Goodbye Brains' on private pressing :thumbsup:

Are you a Sun Ra fan? I love how 'far out' some of his stuff is. On (brand new) vinyl, I've recently bought 'Strange Celestial Road' and
'Rocket Ship Rock', with Yochanan, which are ace! :)

I've also bought tons of other stuff recently (too many albums to list), although I might list the classical music (in the classical section) if I get time later.

A1/B1 pressing in great condition after a thorough clean. Not cheap.

BTW the MOV Brutal Youth sounds little different from CD (apparently it's a 16/44.1 master) and No Frontiers has gone back due to a converging groove causing stylus to stick.

The Nick Drake Five Leaves Left box arrived earlier in week and was pressed with misprinted labels possibly due to a late recut and rushed repress and repackaging.

Ive stopped buying new vinyl now, totally dissapointed with it..

Last two used LP's i bought was a mint early Italian pressing on Harvest of Pink Floyd 'Atom Heart Mother' {Sounds great} alser a loverly 1st issue of Pink Floyd 'Relics' {Starline Records}..

Those are two titles for which I went through several used copies before finding a decent one (a few years ago). In any case never been a decent reissue of either since the now ultra expensive Mo-Fi AHM which I regrettably failed to purchase at the time. The Zombies mono sounds good in spite of a 24 bit file source and reproduces a thick card and flipback sleeve with lined inner. However getting more one off pressing faults after a pretty good run with new vinyl - replacement for Suzanne Vega ordered. Got a replacement Caravan IICDIA0AIDIAOY due to slight warp and replacement was horribly crackly and covered with scratches! This would have equaled original if they hadn't used too low a cutting level.

How is this one, Paul? I was looking at it in the weekend.

The Suzanne Vega sounds great and is back to the musical standard of the early albums. Have had to get a replacement due to an audible pressing mark.

Hi Paul
New vinyl has become a total nightmare for me, it's unbelievable the crap i have to endure sorting faulty, scratch, damaged issues out. Just too much time & energy involved, it's just not gonna happen anymore.

Andre.

It's always been the same - luck of the draw I suppose. At least I don't have to do several miles round trip to a record shop these days. Amazon will even collect returns if you want but that means being at home all day. I do wonder how much returned vinyl they have to deal with as I'm sure a lot of people don't listen to it and use the download card that comes with many titles. I even got to the stage with one title (in limited supply) where Diverse Vinyl politely suggested they weren't prepared to send a second replacement. For 'mainstream' titles I normally stick to Amazon for free returns drop off and there is a store locally that does it. Agree it is wasting a lot of time though.

Paul.

Been hunting one down for ages but only coming across the MOV digital versions which seem to abound over here or one of the Polydor/Reprise re-releases.

I have all the Hendrix Experience LP's in both stereo & Mono on the MOV label, ok but will be replaced with original as & when i can locate them in the condition required..I think buying new vinyl was probably the worse move for me but i suppose it's better than nothing for the time being..

Try the RTI pressed all analogue versions (QRP for the Mono). They are brighter (read more detailed) than ''original' Track or Polydor but the EL beats my 1973 Polydor pressing. In fact original 60's pressings are just too damn expensive in anything like acceptable condition. For mono ABAL I would recommend the Classic Records 200g version (with repro Track labels).

Hi Paul

Sorry not a single new LP will ever enter this house again.. My records dont have to be first issues early 70's re-issues will be just fine as long as they are 100% analogue, absolutly no 1980's re-issues either.. You can get lucky, just stumbled on a mint 1970's re-issue of Floyds 'Ummagumma' for just under a tenner.

Those RTI Hendrix are nice pressings and will save you ££££s. Paid £20 for the first Polydor reissue of Electric Ladyland about 10 years ago but even that goes for several times as much now. Early Ummagumma pressings sound terrific BTW. A very underrated Floyd album! I avoid 80's reissues like the plague - upgraded any I had to 70's pressings years ago.

By all accounts the Sony Legacy Family authorised version (which is taken from the analogue tapes) is the best version of the newer 180g pressings. It is meant to stand head and shoulders above the MOV digital remaster. Not sure if the SL pressings are available in anything other than the Electric Ladyland LP though. The 1st edition pressings are insanely expensive now (£200 for a mint example isn't unheard of).

Diverse only have EL in stock but since listed assume the other titles are still in the catalogue. Give them a ring to find out. The genuine original EL pressing was fetching £200 years ago ( blue print inside cover/inverted matrix nos).

I've been rather pleased with the "new" new vinyl I've bought lately. Noteworthy have been:

James Blake - several items (Universal)
Diana Krall - Glad Rag Doll & Quiet Nights (Verve / Universal)
Les McCann & Eddie Harris- Swiss Movement (Atlantic / Rhino)
Lalo Schifrin - Bullitt soundtrack (Warner)
Jimmy Smith - The Cat (Verve / Back to Black)
Karajan / Philharmonia - Bizet L'Arlesienne and Carmen (Hi-Q Records)
Pink Floyd - DSOTM & The Wall (my first time with The Wall - EMI)

That is not to say that they are all perfectly silent - there's a couple I think would benefit from a spin on an Okki Nokki or similar - but sound on all has, basically, been excellent.

EDIT: Add Lady Gaga - Artpop and Daft Punk to that list...

Deep Purple "Made in Japan" mint 1st pressing. Brill.

When the Japaneses pressing first came out the quality was not has good as the German pressing the tonal balance was off, The Yanks pressing sounded slightly distorted and the UK was OK.
Deep Purple and Pink Floyd both had this problem on over seas pressings. But for the worse I ever heard on any pressings was a OMD LP I even wrote to them with no reply. When I bought it on CD is was far far better.

On my last tour of the SW I found a shop called "UPBEAT" run by Keith Shepard, e-mail Kbude@btinternet.com in Bude I bought a whole stack of vinyl and a good price all new.

PM me if you want tele phone number .

Funny you should mention this Colin because i have a UK original issue & a German issue, the German, although thinner vinyl sounds better to me!

Colin Wonfor

03-05-2014, 13:11

I wonder if it was the mix or the cutting tool, could not find any reference to what was used.
I had also a Swedish version it was not as good as the German but better than the USA version by a long way.
So I try to buy German pressing when possible so if you are going this month to the Munich High End try and pick a few up.

This got dumped through my door today.

Only listened to first 4 sides of the first recorded concert.

Initial feelings are that this pressing is slightly harsher and maybe a little compressed. Drum work and vocals are fantastically clear, Richie Blackmore's guitar work sounds superb. So far, so good. I'm loving it!
