What was the last vinyl you bought?

A one-LP/4-CD deluxe 40th Anniversary edition, with extra tracks, demos and a famous BBC Live in Concert show alongside the original album.

Hot Snakes  Jericho Sirens

Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head.

Yes, I know, millions of CDs sold, available widely for under a quid, so why bother spending twenty times as much on the LP?  Well, of its time it's a favourite album of mine, and at the time of its release there were songs that really resonated.  And of course, the title track is perhaps Coldplay's best. Oh, and while I bought the CD at release, I'd not bought the vinyl.  Recently during a discussion about this album I'd been tipped off that the original 2002 Sterling cut vinyl release was the one to get. So when an immaculate copy of the original cut came up for sale, I jumped.  And I'm glad I did.  It's weird, but it does sound quite different to the CD. It really was like listening to the whole album anew, which was rather lovely.  It somehow comes across as less compressed.  It breathes better and there appears to be a level of inner detail that really allows to get inside the music like never before.  

2 x LP

Arrived this morning from Amazon uk : )

Debs

Any good Debs?  

I ordered it on a whim a while ago (I mean, who can resist an LP cover with a Garrard 401 and SME 3009 in it??) but it has still not arrived. 

Don't know yet It's still in the wrapper by the RCM. But a couple of very good reviews on Amazon so i'm hopeful : )

Bought from the concert in Glasgow on Saturday night; not the greatest sounding LP I own but it's signed and keeps up the collection of albums covering every gig I've ever been to!  The gig, in case anyone is going soon, was fab and included a fair amount of Porcupine Tree stuff; as it would seem they are unlikely to tour again any time soon, it may prove to have been my only chance to hear the songs live.

Martin Freeman and Eddie Piller Present Jazz on The Corner, gatefold double vinyl LP.

A nice selection of jazz tracks for Hoxton Hipsters, mostly from the '60s, although also featuring a few more recent ones, including a closer from Kamasi Washington's The Epic.  As mentioned earlier, the Garrard 401/SME 3009 on the cover was the initial draw.  Pressed flat and (hurrah!!) not pressed off-centre, but please, please, could we at least have poly-lined sleeves, Mr Piller??  Still, for two slabs of Jazz vinyl for under a tenner it's a little churlish to complain.  Nice...

There’s a thin line between those yellow trousers and the Boxwell Heath Archery Club.

Laurent De Wilde ‘New Monk Trio’. Expensive but a nice recording and a humane, warm touch - in that sense, like another modern Monk interpreter, EST. 

Four LPs, three CDs, a DVD and even some hi-res files. I'll be playing the vinyl first...

Styx: Paradise Theatre

To complete the collection, really...

Change of direction for me: Roy Harper ‘Stormcock’. Clean and simple in some ways - the zenith of craftsmanship. 

Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel 3

Excellent 180 gram vinyl. Recorded straight to tape at the same concert as the renowned digital download;

''Carmen Sings the Blues'' which was recorded to multi-track DXD.

I won't say the vinyl is better or worse than the DXD file,  it is different it's analog , and an analog recording process.

 

 

Great album, but I don't understand that they did not use the same title as the hi-res download;" Carmen Sings the Blues''.

It is all about the Blues and has very little to do with Belafonte.

Probably because they see it as a different album and want to distance them self from the DXD recording. It is has been recorded with an analog signal chain straight to tape while the hi-res download has been recorded via the computer.

Nagra used the tape in Munich;

as well as;

Most recently bought Lab Experiments Vol. 1 : Mixin' by Cookin' On 3 Burners. Can't figure out how to get a picture on here otherwise I'd post a copy of the album cover. Still waiting for it to arrive so listening to flac download.

Bit of a mixture of Funk, Soul, Jazz and Boogaloo. Love it!

Relics was the first album I bought back in 1976, because I’d been enjoying the Pink Floyd story on Capital Radio and because it was cheap. I had a belt drive Gerrard sp25 with a ceramic cartridge and built in amp to play it on at the time. I wore that album out and gave it away in the end but the urge to revisit it arose recently and it just happens there is a remaster coming out in May so I’ve preordered it. £21 compared to the £1.40 I paid in 76.

Sussed it!

Another one bought the same day - love this too

What recording of them is it... sorry the box picture doesn't really give much of a clue unless you already know!

There is a pentagram on the image which indicates the Berliner Philharmoniker.
