No Code Vinyl

I wasn't sure which section to post this in, so I'm going with WM...C because it almost seems logical.

I recently obtained (today!) a vinyl (yup, a record!) copy of "No Code", which has always been my #2 favorite PJ release. I'll be damned if the words and music aren't hitting me harder than they ever have before. I've just played "Off He Goes" like 8 times in a row! I won't even go into "Who You Are" and other songs that I'm getting a huge rush off of while playing this lp.

I'm going to drink and spin this disc all evening. :D

    I wonder what it is about "Off He Goes" that just sounds so good. I may have to invest in vinyl.

    I just won a No Code vinyl on Ebay yesterday. I can't wait for it to get here. Now all I need is a Binaural and LO2L...I might just have to shell out some bucks for those.

    no code is awesome on vinyl
    If a man speaks in a forest and there is no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

    I put it on on the weekend and ended up listening to it over and over again. I love having the vinyl and it seriously is one of the craziest looking records ever.

    I finally just got my own copy, sealed and all. I don't get that.
    As soon as I got it, I ripped it off, and will play it to death.

    No Code is one of the best vinyls from PJ.....

    i have been on a massive vinyl buying spree.
    NO CODE is the only album i don't have on vinyl. (anyone want to help me haha)

    just got my copy of Into The Wild with the bonus seven inch and book the other day.

    Lost Dogs on vinyl is amazing.

    i love it

    spin spin...spin the black circle!
    Things were different then. All is different now.
    I tried to explain. Oh, somehow.

    I had actually opened mine when I bought it at Rhino Records in '98- I wanted to see the artwork in full force ;)

    Never played it though...

    Agreed, especially for Present Tense.

    I love how it almost turns into a new song after the second chorus, then winds down with that great outro.

    That's the genius behind the song- one of the most intense & emotionally charged Pearl Jam songs that I have ever encountered in my 17 years of being a fan...

    besides the boots, i don't even listen to my CD's anymore. When it comes to PJ, I go out of my way to spin the black circle. Nothing beats it.

    You guys are pushing me to buy a vinyl player. I get paid around £600 at the end of this month (im only 18, gimmie a break) so i'll probably buy one and a set of speakers for £60, and maybe i'll start with No Code since your all saying its awsome on vinyl (not my favourite of their albums but awsome none-the-less) for around £15 off ebay. My dad has a vinyl player and loads of vinyls like Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Tangerine Dream. Might have to steal a few.
    S'cuse the shit name!

    Use your £600 to purchase this ;)

    Is the sound quality much better on vinyl than it is on CD?
    I have heard vinyls give a fuller richer more bassy/groovy sound?

    Excuse my ignorane as I grew up in the cd era!
