Help! I keep buying vinyl!!!

[nobody]

Now I'm jealous of those Percy Sledge and Wilson Pickett records.

I did manage to pick up this nice little bit of soul for just a couple bucks on Saturday though:

Jimmy Ruffin: Ruff 'N Ready


Also, a Best of Little Richard on Specialty Records, and a couple sealed records, King Sunny Ade and Spade Cooley.

This one looked significant, sitting there in the store priced cheap. Sound quality leaves a little to be desired, but I forgive that on these when it happens. The music is usually worth it.

Wonderful noob! I have Rhythm Crazy which is another Emarcy release of his. They tend to not sell for alot because his name is simply not known. Classic hard bop. There is a wonderful 2 disc collection - The Complete Jimmy Cleveland, which I have if you would like to hear it. Great fidelity too.

Yes I have that Little Richard side you are talking about Dave, with the portrait of him on the cover right? Nice one. I will suggest that if you grab any Pickett on Atlantic, try to grab a mono copy. The stereo copies tend to be much noisier with a thinner sound overall.

Are you buying new or used? I can relate. Wait til you hit that used mother load. You'll need that excitement and enthusiasm to get you through end of lease cleaning brisbane 100 LP's...

Hello I think you will not get annoyed and answer this simple question. Which song or music album you learn to hear while cleaning your home?

[poppachubby]

Got a copy of Altotude, excellent condition. King Records - US pressing.

[poppachubby]

Greatest Hits - US pressing

[poppachubby]

Oh that's easy, I usually learn "Your Mother Is A Dirtpig" from tha album "Bend Your Big Fat Momma Over". Oh of course, how silly of me! This is from the group "Frank And The Your Mother Fellates Me During My Bowel Movements".

Hey simple question... why would I get annoyed?!?!

[poppachubby]

Let's Play - Imperial Records, Canadian Pressing

This is from Movement No. 2, right?

Wow, what a list. You are really in a reggae rut huh? Don't feel bad I have been in a jazz rut now for over a year now. I am drooling at the thought of all those great sides appearing at my blog. I don't have a huge following, this is because I don't want one, but the people who do come would be bowing at your feet.

Give it some thought Davey, it would also double as good motivation to listen to your stuff. Try to drop just one of those amazing albums per week.

I have a couple new sides, but I'm particularily thrilled about the Thad Jones. If you can believe it, I found this live album sealed for $5 at a local antique market. Opening it was like being privvy to some sort of time capsule...

... firstly, the mail card dropped out. Then I dug inside to find the booklet. Artists House was a flash in the pan as far as labels go, but they left a great legacy. The booklet is awesome. Highlights for me would be a complete list of the recording equipment/configuration used for the session, and a complete (current in 1977) discography for both Lewis and Jones. Being a Thad Jones fan, I was really excited about the disco list as it appears to be the most thorough I have ever seen.

The album has a high quality inner sleeve - paper with a wax interior. Of course the vinyl itself is pressed wonderfully. Really black and dead quiet with that real hifi sound. Such a treat isn't it???

Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Quartet (aka Live At The Airliner Lounge)
Terry Gibbs And His Exciting Big Band - Launching A New Band

Don't worry, totally planning on going through some of those. Just been busy at work and putting in some extra hours and have had a couple birthdays (mine and others) and a ton of stuff going on keeping me from it. First one I'll probably talk about may be interesting to you... A really good reissue of a roots/dub record made by Jamaicans relocated to the great white north.

Jealous of nobody's records, but here's a new one for me...

Been looking for some Emily Remler LPs for at least a year - never saw one in person until today.

[mjtab]

It's like a sickness! Ever since I bought I turntable I am like a junkie! I am trying not to replicate my entire CD Collection but some are just too good to pass up.

To me vinyl sounds better and is more involving than cds, so it is worth having duplicates of your cd collection. Buying music is better than always buying gear. Plus some good music just isn't available on cd.
Keep it up!

Tonight, a battle was fought between a Shure M97xe, Technics headshell and a mirrored protractor. After 35 minutes, it was a fight worth fighting. 99.99% perfect alignment...so worth it!

Nice sounding LP for sure i also have this and love the way it sounds

[hifitommy]

i am lost on that one bob, was it the mirror? well, anyway, even though i have MORE than enough LPs (~6k) i still am acquiring. just when i tell myself i shouldn't and won't, i buy a couple more that i just feel i must have, either for the price or i just don't have that one (or more) and they are in VG condition.

[Jack in Wilmington]

Just picked this up as it is one of my all time favorites. Bought "Aqualung" for $29.95 and now it's going for $200. Hopefully I'll get as lucky with this.

[bob r]

Nice Lp for sure

[bob r]

Any one have any DBX Lp's

[02audionoob]

[02audionoob]

I have discovered that a local store that specializes in new and 2nd-hand electronics also has a decent vinyl selection.

[blackraven]

I just bought this awesome sounding MoFi Steve Miller LP-
