Thanks Tim, I don't often delve into the spare room CD's; it's just a mission :)Quote:

That first album is one of those where you forget how good it is.Quote:

Has there ever been a cover sticker that tells it more like what it should be ?
OK chaps.
So, over the past couple of years I have mainly been filling holes in / replacing worn copies of records in my collection, as opposed to buying new releases.
I have completed the majority of the easier purchases of records that matter to me and am now starting on the more difficult ones. First up in this category is Sabbath - Paranoid. My original copy was a fairly decent first pressing, but that is now pretty well unlistenable and has been for the last 10 years or so.
I don’t expect to find anything similar at a reasonable price, so my question to folk more learned than I is, what vinyl pressing, at a reasonable budget (< £50), would you recommend ?
Thanks for your help.
Mike
Oh dear Mike, you seem to be going down a rabbit hole there, and maybe taking some of us with you ;) I never gave it any thought before, but I do now.
Couple of links here which might interest you if you haven't come across them already:

Having read further into this, it would appear that the above mentioned 2016 Rhino pressing (which I very nearly bought this morning) should not be confused with the later and superior Rhino Hi Fidelity AAA pressing cut by Kevin Gray (which of course is going to cost a lot more).
Right, after all that I need a lie down...
I think you’ll like her - a mix of different styles - try and pick this one up first (you can get it for peanuts on CD - £3.48 delivered on your favourite Music Magpie on eBay) - it’s her third album, but her most “successful” if you count #55 on the UK albums chart as successful!Quote:

They weren't the first to come with that suggestion - this is one I had 50-odd years ago, and yes I did play it loud :)Quote:

It's on the Blue Note label, so can't be bad.
Top album - some say 'Blow By Blow' is better but I don't know about that.Quote:

Yes, it's a favourite of mine too, mate. Would love the cover as a poster:)Quote:

Yes, you might be right: they drive on the wrong side of the road in the US!Quote:
