What was the last vinyl you bought?

180g double lp, with free cd included

A lucky find. Brand new unplayed.  At the same time the piano concertos (Haebler) and the string chamber music.  All 2nd hand but as new condition.  Totally silent surfaces after decades in storage.  Didn't even bother with the Okki Nokki.

Not new but NM. Plays great. 

If anyone else has this album can you tell me if the mix balance is very much to the left?

Yes, I'd say there is a definite left bias to the mix. The drum machine hi-hat is channeled right on most tracks, but the vocals and guitar leads are left of center. Besides playing all the instruments, Winwood is credited on Wikipedia for the engineering, mixing, and production. Maybe it sounded balanced to him? Mine is a US pressing by Columbia Records on the Island label.

It's been a while since I bought records with a Parental Advisory sticker on.

Treated myself to this on Analogue Productions vinyl...

Pink Floyd - The Wall original pressing. God knows if it's a first, second or other pressing but it's in good nick.

jethro Tull - Aqualung original pressing

Spirit - Clear Spirit original pressing.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was worried my kit was in some way at fault! Strange how some tracks are mixed so differently on the same album.  Perhaps a knowledgeable forum member can provide some illumination? 

Bowie at the Beeb, 4LP box set. Contains a few extra tracks to the CD issue of 15 years ago.

Let us know how it is.

I've been collecting all the Bowie lately but balk at tracking down every live performance or outtake unless they are something special. 

Thanks.

Jay, I know the set very well (had it for years on CD - the limited edtion version with the 2000 BBC gig: https://www.discogs.com/David-...Beeb/release/5861024).

I love it, but I am a big Bowie freak so enjoy most of his work (aside from the 80s period).

The (two) previously unreleased tracks on this new vinyl set are good but not essential, unless you are a completist like me.

Rolling Stones. Rewind (1971-1984)

I felt obliged to grab this after all of ewemon's recent posts of The Four Tops. Motown label vinyl has a distinct vintage sound so I'm looking forward to cleaning this one and giving it a spin.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll have to pick it up. How's the sound on vinyl?

I've found the Music on Vinyl reissues of Earthling and Outside to be big improvements sonically over the respective CDs.

A lot of the sound isn't great (due to source material) but perfectly acceptable, and occasionally very good. Vinyl very nice and quiet.

A real bargain from a well known auction site. Very nice copy of the UK version of the brilliant "Fancy" album, with a different song order and two additional tracks. Much better SQ than my 1970 US Capitol "Fancy" LP.

Contains a great version of Laura Nyro's "Wedding Bell Blues".
