    I get chills when I play it.

    Good night, all.

    What is that, Xmas single?

    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!)*

    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. :lol:

    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.

    in my opinion.....

    my best sounding vinyls:

    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?

    Yeah it does, it's my fave from Portishead too, so good. Do you have any records you rate or hate for their sound quality?

    Tbh I don't actually spin my vinyl enough to have an opinion on this. :o 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.
