What was the last vinyl you bought?

Had to get this one...on black and white vinyl.

Another disappointing encounter with Discogs. Where 'near mint' means full of finger prints and scratches. 

On Discogs Mint = Good

Near Mint = Fair

True Story...

Some guys were cutting down some trees on my driveway and the postman couldn't get up the driveway while trying to deliver this vinyl to me.  I have to go to the post office today to get it.

I was so pissed, wanting so badly to listen to the vinyl, walking around the house sulking and whining...

Wife says: "First world problem."

Both MM 45s.

A slow number like 'I should care' should benefit from the sound of 45RPM vinyl.

Bah! I walked past a record shop, turned back, went in, and spent too much money!

So:

"On 140g  vinyl", boasts the sticker on the cover...

Honestly had never heard any old Pink Floyd...so I listened to these on Spotify.  They were ok, but then I listened to the Album "More" and The Nile Song blew me away...I may get this vinyl if I can find it.

Thanks to Kevin for making me buy this.

Hi Kevin. How does this re issue sound? I have an original in mono but would love a stereo version but an original is very expensive.

Thanks Prem.

Prem, I'm listening to it now. It's a bit difficult because I don't have any original vinyl to compare it to, just a '74 UK press, a '76 Japanese, and the tragic 1997 mono digital remaster (plus various CDs, from 1988 to 2011).

There are many positives - I'm hearing a lot of things I've never heard before as the new mastering has revealed a lot more detail. There is a lot of clarity and transparency, and the presentation is quite "forward". The vinyl is thick, flat and silent. If there is a fault, it might be that there's a slight loss of dynamics, which is especially noticeable on a track like "Astronomy Domine". This isn't the same problem that best the MFSL reissues of DSOTM, AHM, The Wall and Meddle (these were a bit soft, and quite boring), but it's a different way of presenting the music. The Floy's music being what it is (ie slow, detailed, atmospheric), this presentation will suit some tracks more than others.

But on the whole, job well done so far (I've only listened to More)

Mudcrutch 2. Some great tracks on it (not all) and some sound better than others. Not quite up to the usual high mastering/recording standards.
