Well there has been quite a bit of controversy on the net about the recent re-mastered Pink Floyd albums that have been released over the last 3 years. I did some investigation and discovered what I think is correct and some interesting facts. "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" was originally recorded on a mix of analogue and digital by the band and then transferred to full digital for final mastering before being committed to CD or Vinyl. A similar process occurred with "The Division Bell". It appears that not much care at the time was taken with producing the vinyl versions of either albums, remember it was the age of the CD back then. From what I can find out subsequently nearly all Pink Floyds albums have been re-mastered at The Mastering Lab, chosen to get the best from the original masters with a view to getting a better vinyl result. Some cynics would say it's all a marketing ploy, well maybe but however the proof is in the pudding.
So I took the plunge and purchased both the above and I found both to be very good IMO. They certainly have all the dynamics and vibrancy you would expect, and they are very enjoyable. As I picked them up online at 50% discount I think they are a bargain buy,
Pink Floyd – The Division Bell

Not bad this (12.5p from charity shop) but I think I’ve concluded that once you’ve heard one of their albums you’ve heard them all

(I can hardly take the mick, I actually have at least two of their albums... :sofa: :D )
This particular charity shop usually sells 4 CDs for a pound but on the day I bought this one they had a shop wide half price sale so 8 for a poundQuote:

These are some of the tapes bought second hand😋 All of them recorded by other people. I’m keeping them in our summer Appartment on the seaside. Can’t find the strength to throw them away. Otherwise Roxette is not my first choice exactly🙄Quote:

Seeing your Nakamichi BX-1 reminded me of the BX-2 and BX 125 (both of which I still have somewhere), used to record cassettes for use in the car. I no longer use cassette as a prime source medium, though I must have recorded some 200 90minute tapes over the years. Still, seeing your BX-1 brought back happy memories of the time when I discovered that high quality cassette recorders (ones that followed precisely Philips's specification) could make as good a recording as open spool reel-to reel recorders at 7.5ips, but with much greater convenience.Quote:

Like me - maybe it's time to pass them on to someone else who can make better use of them.Quote:

Rick Astley - The best
https://i.imgur.com/TUByNuI.jpg
Judging by the printing, it looks like you've got a snide copy, Ivo. So you're probably not hearing Rick at his dynamic best.
Handy tip - if you buy Kylie Minogue on 45rpm vinyl, you effectively get 2 for 1: play at 33rpm and it becomes Rick Astley. :)
Well someone took the trouble to hold on to the cassette, so It Must Have Been Love. Really like the Nakamichi deck though, it certainly does Look Sharp :)Quote:

Otherwise if speaking about sea we are using the salt waters of Greece, with our kayaks.
