Vinyl LP's & 45's

Excellent Christmas haul. Thanks Santa. You have exceptional taste…

The classic 1975 Strata East label release Saturday Night Special by The Lyman Woodard Organization and a beautiful double set of 13th Floor Elevators 1967 classic Easter Everywhere with a stereo and mono version. The mono is the star here. Very muscular.

Really?? What track did you put fourth? Musta been a good round.

The album opener Slip Inside This House is a certified banger.

I barely remember that comp happened, let alone who didn’t vote for whatever song I chose :joy:

Great track and I reckon Primal Scream’s cover could be even better

My wife said to make a list for the boys to buy me a Xmas present. I put down three albums, expecting them to choose one.

I ended up with all three, which is why we are broke, but also awesome to have a wife that’s so easily confused by these things

And the winners were?

I also requested some vinyl but had to pick my own. RHCP’s - BSSM and Jamiroqui - A Funk Odyssey were my choices.

funk odyssey is a great listen

has anyone got rhcp’s californication? it was one of my fav albums as a younger lad despite being overproduced to sht, and as such i suspect it would sound garbage on a turntable, so i’ve resisted getting it

The original vinyl and CD were mastered hot as buggery - they are regularly held up as one of the main victims of the loudness wars (no dynamic range at all, lots of digital distortion etc. etc.)

I believe there have been subsequent re-pressings (e.g. 2012 vinyl remaster) that sound far, far better.

I have a 2019 release and it is fine, but my ability to discriminate good music in the DJ thread was frequently questioned given my love of country music.

Notoriously bad reputation for having no dynamics and sounding like it’s mono. I’ve never seen any recommendation for it.

Mum bought this for me for Christmas, have only just today had the chance to play it. It’s wonderful.

Two sorts of vinyl for LMW (who wants me to tell you she’s 25 and not actually that L anymore).

The movie was pretty good. Impressive soundtrack if you are into the style of music.

That’s awesome.

Agree, not usually my type of tunes but it’s very good. Even Rick Beato rates it
