My band wrote and recorded an album at the beginning of and early stages of the pandemic. Then we went through all the work of self producing and releasing it. The vinyl showed up today, 3 months earl

Went to Seattle last weekend for my pilgrimage to the mother ship. Went to Easy Street Records in West Seattle. Known for the Mother Love Bone mural painted by Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament

Found this little jewel at my local Thrift store for 75 bucks. Rosewood plinth, two tone arms and a Stanton 981HZS cartridge. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Anyone grab the UHQR Are You Experienced?

I did even though I have a nice OG tricolor Reprise.

Should be great.

When did you order it? I just checked my account and it says it’s on back order. Hopefully that’s just a quirk on the site until it ships and it’s not really already gone.

Well, I thought I ordered Thursday, but I fucked up and never hit the final ‘place order’ button, so I reordered Friday afternoon.

I have read that it will show backordered, then change to on hold or in process, then finally will ship. But it’s supposed to be normal.

Eric Johnson put a bunch of signed stuff on his web store recently. Among them are some double LPs like these two classics. I've never picked up Ah Via Musicom on vinyl (3 digital versions of it, obv.) so him offering autographed copies of the LE gold vinyl version was like he was speaking to my heart.

The 45rpm Pallas pressing of Rumours has finally been repressed. This one was mastered by Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman and is absolutely incredible. Was going for nearly $200 just last month before it was repressed.

Get it while it’s hot! Free shipping from AS, too.

The super deluxe of the most anachronistic album ever created came in. Have we already been over how much I dig overwrought productions like this? Pretty excited to check out the OG concert.

Not sure I'd give it most anachronistic ever but yeah I'd imagine most of us fuck with moving pictures. Really glad I was able to see them before Peart kicked it.

That album has no business existing in 1981. Humans just haven't progressed far enough by then. It makes no sense.

I'm listening in my car right now. It's never sounded better. And I'm not trying to take away from the record and I don't disagree with you. I just feel that way about quite a few records and for me it's a tough competition.

I mean - MP for me isn't anachronistic it's just a sick band hitting their peak and blowing some doors off the hinges. Like - I don't put it over the wall and that was a year before. 

But we're focusing on the wrong shit man... Holy fuck how good is this remaster?

Although maybe it's the same remaster as 2011?

(Pretty sure it is - kicks ass either way)

I'll just tack on to this post since it seems like you'll catch up later - in terms of most anachronistic or ahead of their time records - I'd probably submit another PF album - Dark Side of the Moon - from 73. I think in general that's a pretty fucking difficult one to top. Maybe that's a cop out answer but if so it's a cop out for a reason. I'm not sure anyone realized they could make music like that until that record became popular. 

I'm also going to throw in that Thriller was just a year later in 82. 

Reggatta de Blanc - 79

Heroes - 77

Not trying to prove you wrong or be a dick - you just got me thinking and I'm throwing more examples like Moving Pictures out there that are totally timeless.

We're gonna be all over the place this weekend.

(When I was younger I didn't really appreciate this version of Layla - OG Layla is the goat rock song and this was neutered too much for me. Now that I'm older and more lame, I've come to appreciate this take.)

I have the super deluxe of the Black Album, and it's a stellar presentation. This one of Ride the Lightning looks similar. Now if your boy can just find an SD Puppets for less than the cost of a late model Toyota...f5ed7837db9d73b07b59262ca21f45ac.jpg

My vintage Dual turntable saga continues.  Finally got it back from service and the tone arm was binding.  Got a refund after having them dicking with it for a year and sent it to Bill Neumann in Iowa.  Complete teardown service.  Should have it back in a month.  I've missed vinyl.

Picked up the Daft Punk Iron: Legacy soundtrack and the 30th Anniversary box set of Nirvana's Nevermind. Looking forward to giving both a spin tonight

 

Yeah, Nirvana Nevermind Super Deluxe hit this past week. Bout to crank it. Pretty stoked for this one. Especially looking forward to the ephemera.

And my copy of Art Pepper arrived (ordered because of this thread!). As much as I'm a fan of 50s/60s jazz, it surprises me how Art Pepper has managed to sit in my blindspot for so long. This ends now.

The replacement for my jacked up copy of the Pallas Rumours showed up as well.

And, after forgetting I ordered from the band's website an eternity ago, some rather hard to find Kitten records arrived too. About to be busy and loud at the Boom household.

Crossposted from the HI-FI thread.

 

Final update on the Beautiful Monster.  After almost a year and a half of dealing with service/repair of the whole setup, I finally had to send my turntable to a Dual specialist in Iowa.  Full tear down rebuild with new tone arm bearings, which had failed.  It lives!

Hell yes! That’s great, I’m glad you finally got everything fixed.


I also finally decided to replace the speaker relay on my Marantz 2245. I can solder, though I’m not the best at it. It would’ve been easier if I had more wire to work with (so I ended up using the same wire ends), but I got the job done. No more right channel dropping or weak signal. Almost like having a new damn receiver! That shit had been bothering me for years.

Nice!  I'm not all that good at soldering and don't want to be anywhere near those big ass capacitors in that McInotsh amp.  The guys who serviced it were ultimately good, but I had to take it back for stuff they missed and, ultimately, got my money back on the turntable service so I could send it off to get it fixed properly.  The guy who fixed it basically said, I'm sure those McIntosh guys meant well, but they're electricians, and this thing is largely a mechanical beast.

Yeah, those old Duals were something else.

I rehabbed a 1219 once and it was really cool to see how that thing worked underneath. Like some kinda mini-Rube Goldberg. Luckily all that one needed was a cleaning, relube, and a new steuerpimpel (what a word).

Yeah.  Part of my saga, ebay steurpimpels suck, and won't stay in place.  I ordered one from Dual in Germany, but the guy I used either makes his own or has stock and it's included in the price.  Been a while since I've seen this table make nice, abrupt yet precise, oh, let's just say it, German movements.  It's been a long while coming.

A few recent grabs to keep it going:

ZZ Top Wordwide Texas Tour promo. I usually don’t get stuff like this, but it was apparently done from the actual master tapes and it sounds like it. Since they’re tracks from their best era, even better.

A few Japanese pressings. Japanese mastering choices can be hit or miss, but anything with PJ or SMJ in the catalog number for Jazz (Prestige and Riverside titles, mostly) is really excellent, IMO. Here are a few with an Atlantic Coltrane which is also done well.

I have a few Japanese Zeppelin pressings, and I can say that these very first issues with MT catalog numbers and Blue/Green Atlantic labels are actually pretty great sounding. They existed for Zep I-III, though I only own copies of II and III. I have 3 RL Zeppelin IIs, and this is just behind those, probably comparable to a George Piros cut from ‘77. The later Warner Pioneer issues got progressively worse.

went to the most overpriced record store i've ever seen in nola a couple weeks ago, peaches records. started browsing through the new releases and didn't find anything under $60. figured i would check out the used section...best of the doobie brothers $50, wtf? talked to some folks working at other record stores around town and the consensus seems to be that it's a drug front because ain't nobody payin those prices.
