What was the last vinyl you bought?
Posted by: apye! on 18 January 2011
Arrived today in the post:
A whole batch (not boxed surprisingly) of remastered vinyl by Diana Krall released this month. Excellent SQ and so far very good silent pressings which was not quite the case with the lead re-issue of the series "Steppin Out" released in May. Arguably the best improvement from the original issues is "The Girl in the Other Room"
Legacy reissue.
Rolling Stones - Beggar's Banquet
A personal reward from Barnes and Noble after making it to the gym on a day off.

I had a hankering for the title tune Générique.
I can't find who pressed this reissue but there is a DMM sticker on the back. At least It is flat and quiet, but I know it's missing a lot of instrumental colours. That said, this is a tune put me in a terrible melancholia.
Looking at the line up, I didn't realise Pierre Michelot was on the bass. ( a terrific French bass player who was on Dextor Gordon's 'Our Man in Paris' )
If you have the Jazz Wax reissue (JWR4503), that one was pressed by GZ Digital Media, the biggest producer of vinyl in the world. I have that copy, but also the speakers corner "Complete original recordings". Both are very enjoyable, but the latter is superior by far.
MOFI copy of Bills Withers Live at Carnegie Hall - been on my wish list for a long time, but at c£50 was normally passed for something else, but good price on Amazon the yesterday, and it arrived today which for free delivery was pretty impressive. Probably be weekend before get to listen to it though.
My monthly cratedigging visit in Brighton yielded a few tasty bargains. First of all, this 12" single on Mute Records:
Live double album, recorded in 1976, on UK first pressing:
Torch queen's 1970 compilation, on UK first press:
US A&M first press:
Another US first press - just 99p! Looks a bit dirty but a blast in the RCM should solve that.
UK first press:
UK first press from 1976, on MCA:
German Stax first press:
Early Mercury pressing
Still sealed
Pre-ordered Atom Heart Mother and Obscured by Clouds...they are due on Sept. 23. Not a fan of Meddle.

Not even "Echoes"?
More early pressings from my trip to Madison, Wisconsin. Several wonderful record shops there, though they have no Naim dealer.

Especially not echoes...some good stuff in it, but also a lot of bad sounds and weird horror movie crap.
Sounds like a Blue Whale shagging a Dolphin in the arse in some places.
Just too many good songs in here, couldn't resist. Been back into vinyl for over a year now and I am getting good a predicting what types of music will sound good on my system in vinyl...Tom Petty will sound like the BOMB on my system in vinyl.

Me too! On the pre-order. I already have Meddle and like it.
These will be Martha's fascinating historical performances.
