    A day early!

    A classic of audio engineering... AA-1086 Bernie G 1977. Some dispute whether this is as good as the AB, but for 5 bucks, what the hell..

    image

    1978 original press. Perhaps a little redundant if you have the other records, but every song on here is awesome. Like listening to a Tom Petty greatest hits.

    I am definitely getting that but might wait to out it on a Christmas list for family. Records are a great gift and easy. I think the Stones do awesome blues. I'm really hoping this comes out great.

    Happy Birthday. I am definitely going out today and getting Animals... I think I am going to wait and read some review of the RS, I understand the music is great, but not sure about the vinyl yet.

    I listened last night, if you are interested. Here are my impressions
    1. The packaging is a bit plain. It's a gatefold but nothing special like Dark side, Wish, The Wall. But it's fine.
    2. Vinyl is very heavy. Nice center label
    3. Vinyl is flat and quiet. It's nice.
    4. You know how Animals always sounded like there was a veil over the music? Just a bit muffled... it didn't have the clarity of the other 70's records by PF? Well it's still kind of there. In particular Dogs has that sound. It's clean and clear but still not as crisp. I've always wondered if that was intentional or a recording issue.
    Side B was a little bit stronger, but again I think that's how the CD has always been too. But it's strong and sounded very good. I was personally a little disassociated with the album on side A but really absorbed side B.

    So no complaints at all. No problems with no fill, off center pressing, etc. I'm pleased with it.

    Thanks for the review. Getting mine tonight, will let you know what I think. Hopefully mine's QC will be as good as yours.

    Good to hear. Excited to pick this up after work. It may be my favorite Floyd album. I picked up the reissue of Meddle a few weeks back and to my ears it sounds great. Nice packaging job and is maybe the flattest piece of vinyl I own They've done a nice job with these reissues, my opinion.

    Meddle is fantastic! Echoes sounds really beautiful. I'm very happy with it. Generally very happy with the Floyd reissues.

    Yea, I have picked them all up except DSOTM. I have the 30th anniversary, so I didn't feel the need to double dip with that one.

    Is this the one you have? https://www.discogs.com/Pink-Floyd-The-Dark-Side-Of-The-Moon-30th-Anniversary/release/4288776

    There are certain albums where I'll end up buying multiple to find the best version. This is one of them. And this version appears to be highly regarded.

    So what's the word on this album? Is it pre Black Metallica or post Black?

    Full disclosure, I'm an early Metallica adopter who hated Black album and quit listening to them after that. I was fortunate enough to see them in 86, when I was 13, open for Ozzy while Cliff was still alive. But I was just so annoyed with the Black album in 91. But then Nirvana, PJ, and the rest hit so I didn't need metal anymore. It was the only going in the late 80's when hair bands ruled the earth.

    AAA mastering which is what I want. But some criticism on surface noise. How is your copy? Is it noisy?

    Mine is perfect, but I have read about that also.

    Mixed bag. I think a few of the songs are great. Spit Out The Bone may be the best song they've written since Justice. The album as a whole may be the best since Black or Load. But based on your (and many others') opinion of Black, I know that isn't a strong endorsement.

    I have this version as well. No surface noise It's quite excellent.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I have this pressing too, not a 100% happy with it, looking to get it replaced. The packaging is amazing, but a couple of tracks have the annoying surface noise a few on Discogs mentioned. I'm starting to pick up original pressings these days of older albums as I find generally these sound the best. I recently got originals of Nevermind, Purple, Dirty by Sonic Youth and Pink Flag by Wire and they all sound top notch..

    Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder "Eddie Sings The Doors and Other Greats" - Found this boot in a record store in Milwaukee while on vacation a few weeks ago. Had to pick it up! Considering all the songs were recorded at different points throughout the last 25 years, it sounds pretty darn good. Not perfect, but I never expect perfect from a bootleg. Cool addition to the collection (even if the sleeve did get banged up in my carryon on the flight back home)

    Wow that is a fresh boot. Has the Philly show on it. Who booted that thing? Is there a label?

    "Fresh" is exactly what I thought when I saw it. Literally no other information on it. This is what the label looks like on both sides:

    Guess that's how you avoid paying royalties or being sued...

    There is a Discogs entry for it. Looks like it was pressed in the UK.
