Hell to the yes, that LP is a monster! Very strong release from these guys, so what's up with the crappy Rated R?? Self-titled is my personal fave by them, really like how they just lock in a groove on songs like 'Walking on the Sidewalks' and Mexicola and bang it out. I like that album so much my quote at the bottom of my posts is from it!
"Wasting Light" might be the best sounding piece of wax I own
Really? The Foo's last release right... Do you have alot of vinyl? A surprising choice but I'm sure it sounds good as it was recorded in Analog on that old Sound City mixing desk so i've read.
Nice one Dewie, thats a great heads up on quite a few records.
Wilco I have to agree, I have 2 of theirs and they sound fantastic.
Pink Floyd I don't have any yet, the 30th Anniversary version does it have the original artwork or is it the one that's different to the usual?
Led Zep, hell yeah, those old records still sound awesome if looked after well.
Radiohead, is Amnesiac a quality recording like Kid A? I just picked this up today...
I think the DSOTM 30th has the original artwork and goodies. If you find a new copy of it it has flyer(?) as part of the packaging that clearly marks it as the 30th anniversary on the outside. It's not the most recent reissue, which I've heard mixed reviews of, but a standalone from, I guess 10 years ago.
I have Amnesiac, but I'm not as familiar with it. 9x outta 10 I reach for Kid A when I want that particular Radiohead sound. I think the rest of their albums from this century sound really good on vinyl, but Pablo, Bends, and OK Comp, while solid, don't blow me away.
Yep Radiohead did pretty damn well here, Amnesiac sounds fucking amazing. I keep returning to the track Dollars and Cents...wow!
This is one of my favorite pieces of wax, and my fave album by Nirvana, even above Nevermind. I had it on tape when I was younger, then CD and always played it, never tiring of hearing it, so it was a give-in that I'd get in once I started with the vinyl. Glad I did, this blew my mind, fucking hell! They got they whole live in the studio sound down perfectly on this, Dave's drum's are immense! Everything about it sounds great, such a full on assault of the ears, love it.
If you want to hear something that sounds really good that was recorded fairly recently (the last 2 or 3 years) then you can't go wrong with this, Skying by The Horrors. They are quite a young band but they love vinyl and collect alot themselves, so they made sure the vinyl version of this release would be of high quality. Recommended.
John Lennon's Imagine Is Shite. So is most of Cheech and Chong.
Don't buy Patrick Stump. I can't sell what I never opened, anywhere.
I have Two Same but different issues of El Camino "Black KEYS" and they included a Cd both times.
Jack Johnson gives free itunes with vinyl purchase. I bought Flight of the Conchords vinyl until the sold out.
My biggest awesome! was Bleed American By Jimmy Eat World. I know it's un PJ of me, but I've chased it for over 9 years. I like looking at my Tool Vinyls but I still don't see a reason to play them just yet.
Oh wow ok, you only LOOK at your Tool LP's?? Isn't a good enough reason to listen to them-that there are a whole bunch of great tunes on those records... Hmmm.
I don't trust my needle around certain records... I need to go shopping.

These three records form a great Chicago Blues collection and if your patient, each can still be found on original vinyl for a reasonable price. The music and the sound are first rate!
*(By the way, reesdog, in your photos, I noticed the quality clear sleeves over your record covers. Well done!)*
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
I think so... It's so old and worn out, and I can't remember if it was from the club or not.
I still try to play it backwards on the B side from time to time.

Thanks Brian, those sleeves are very cheap, about 50 Cents NZ each. You know, buying vinyl isn't the cheapest interest so I don't mind paying a little more for sleeves that I know will make those records last for years if protected well. Too easy.
By the way, the 3 photo's you posted didn't upload, try this site for uploading, works for me... http://tinypic.com/
Tom Petty--Wildflowers
George Harrison--All Things Must Pass (1st UK pressing)
Radiohead--Hail To The Thief
White Stripes--Icky Thump, Under Great White Northern Lights
Wilco--Sky Blue Sky
Pearl Jam--No Code, Yield, Binaural
Led Zep---they all sound awesome
M. Ward--Post War
Elliott Smith--Figure 8
Brandi Carlile--Live From Benny Hall
My Morning Jacket--At Dawn
Queens Of The Stone Age--Self Titled
Nice list, do you think Hail to the Thief is the best sounding of all the Radiohead on vinyl?
Any records that you think sound crap and should avoid?

Hey where do you get the plastic sleeve things from? I need to get some extra ones. I just take them off crappier vinyl for decent new vinyl but I'm going to run out of crappy stuff one day so it'd be good to just pick some up.

Hey, I just buy them at Real Groovey, they sell the outer sleeves in bundles of 10, 20 or 50 and a whole lot of different ones for the inner sleeves, pretty good prices too, cheap I would say. You can buy them online too, Trademe has them...
^^^^ Ah cool. I've never noticed them at Real Groovy. I'll check them out, hmmmm except probably safer & cheaper to order online vs going into the store eh?

Some really nice choices there, I've always wanted that Sea Change on vinyl, but its not cheap. Worth getting you think?
^^^^ PNYC is a fucken great album & I imagine it would sound FAB on vinyl!
Yeah it does, it's my fave from Portishead too, so good. Do you have any recors you rate or hate for their sound quality?
Tbh I don't actually spin my vinyl enough to have an opinion on this. I gotta say though the Ten, Vs & Vitalogy I got recently definitely had the WOW vinyl factor where the Backspacer didn't but that's probably old news to vinyl aficionados around here.

Haha! That can't be so, it's in "Living Stereo".....
Tell your bro RCA LPS don't fair well with nickles stacked on the stylus!

Local vinyl traders won't even give me a dollar and It's Mint! Unopened
I get chills when I play it.
Good night, all.
