Vinyl Collections

This is the waveform from a square dance cassette I transferred for someone a few weeks ago:

Unzoomed, it's just solid blue blocks. I think they just recorded the guy's voice too high on top of music that was also too high.

No idea who he is, but I liked the cover. The back is equally goofy.
 
Queen are the best band in the universe.

The only band left I want to see on stage that I never will... (hope it's gramaticaly correct, lol)
Well I saw Brian May (opening for Guns n' roses (!) in the 90's) but it's not the same.
And don't tell me about Queen + anyone (although George Michael did a great job during the 1992 FM tribute concert.)

Not to be confused with, y'know, the OTHER Robert Johnson. ;)
 
I just bought an Ion Profile LP: http://www.ionaudio.com/profilelp

Ion_Profile-LP_angle_912.jpg


There's a guy on eBay, also from Ontario, selling them for $79.00 CAN with free shipping to anywhere in North America. That's a nice deal! I looked up some reviews and apparently, the sound quality is very good. It also has a built-in pre-amp and RCA outputs. :)

Maybe some of you would also like to check it out if you're in the market. He has 9 more of them available, apparently.

recently got a nicer version of empire strikes back soundtrack and empire strikes back story on wax.
Otherwise I havent bought any vinyl in a while (odd considering I work in a record store)
a few months back I got pristine copies of Indy 3, Terminator and Robocop soundtracks.
I think the last "music" record I bought was a Helmet single from betty a few months ago.
 
I'm moving house and just bought one of these:

Going back shortly for 6 more. You can get them from Staples in the UK.

I had been storing all my Vinyl in a cupboard upstairs and three of the LP's that were leaning against the outside wall were damaged by mould from damp.

Need to replace:

They got a TON more albums at Salvation Army int he past couple of days. I went today and got 36 albums for $9! :smile: Among them were:

Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom Prison
The Beatles - 1962-1966
Stevie Wonder - Stevie Wonder's Original Musiquarium I
Billy Idol - Vital Idol
Huey Lewis and The News - Sports (in better shape than my other copy)
Gary Wright - The Dream Weaver (I thought that was Garth Marenghi :wink: )
The Clash - Combat Rock
Sweet - Desolation Boulevard
A Flock of Seagulls - [self-titled]
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced
Bob & Doug McKenzie - Great White North (second copy)
David Lee Roth - Skyscraper
Django Reinhardt - Best Of, Vol. 2
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Confrontation (in great shape!)
The Doobie Brothers - Minute by Minute
Nazareth - Greatest Hits

I think a lot of them were used at a radio station, as they have small numbered stickers on them. At least one has a D.J. stamp on it, too.
 
I have some that I got from my dad, and from used record stores.

LP's
Dire Straits - Dire Straits
Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent
AC/DC - Let There Be Rock
The Who - Face Dances
A Flock of Seagulls - A Flock of Seagulls
J Geils Band - Freeze Frame
Jethro Tull - Broadsword and the Beast
Eugene Ormandy - Handel's Messiah
Leonard Bernstein - Greatest Hits Vol 2
Leonard Bernstein - Rite Of Spring
Leonard Bernstein - Rhapsody in Blue

Single's
Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love/Get Up
The Monkees - I'm a Believer/I'm Not Your Stepping Stone
ZZ Top - Sleeping Bag/Party On The Patio
Bryan Adams - Summer of '69/Kids Wanna Rock/The Best Was Yet to Come
 
Great Bernstein finds. The pacing of his Rhapsody in Blue is kinda wonky at times (then again, it might be intentional), but the piano playing is generally superb. The Rites of Spring version is amazing.

And that Monkees single is quite possibly the greatest double of the 60s - which is saying something. Two sides of the same coin. Pop bubblegum and insane riffs. Both perfection. If people think mono in general sucks, make them listen to that one.

My dad always had the Lenny Greatest Hits vinyl, but I didn't appreciate it until I heard Leonard conduct Beethoven's 9th. I had to just get as much Bernstein related works as possible. Most of them are on CD, but I cherish the vinyl.

The Monkees are very overlooked. People forget how good they were, when they weren't forced into the role of an american Beatles, and they could be themselves. Even when they were manufactured, it was still a very tight band with great riffs.
 
They were indeed. What's so cool - and disconcerting to the rock authenticity crowd (of which I know a lot of people) - is that "More of the Monkees" (manufactured; songs written for them and played by others) and "Headquarters" (authentic; played and mostly written by the band) were released only four months apart, and they sound really, really similar. I like that, and point to it as evidence that using manufactured as a derogatory term doesn't really work. Quality is in the end product.

Is the Rhapsody in Blue album you bought the one with An American in Paris as the "b-side"? That's the one I have - in gloriously boomy and weirdly recorded stereo.

His version is very unique. Bernstein conducts it, like he wrote it. Lenny made that his.
If this one is the one you are talking about, then yes.

Just look at how cool that guy was. He was the most intelligent man in music, but he was so friggin cool.
