Listening back to this in bits to get a full review in my sound system at home. Just increable. Proper slam on the drums on this pressing.
Great pressing. Dynamic rich sound on a flat white vinyl. I met Jez and Andy recently and got it signed so dead happy either way but the vinyl being a good one just adds to the awesomeness of this release . Surface noise is there but quiet.
So I know my #vinyl lovers are strong here. So I need to know. What’s the best & fastest way of moving a large amount of vinyl. All high quality. A large amount still sealed. #Rock, #hiphop, 50s and 60s lounge, and what looks like a pretty legendary #Beatles collection. It’s basically a school/rent money party, and the right price is invited. Maybe our first #mastodon#musicparty?

Another album that brings me back to the beginning of college. I grew up on classic rock and jazz (which I still love) so it wasn’t until my first year in the dorms that my music world quickly expanded. This is another album in that list that I discovered “late” (like 2005 late!).
@Champagne@vinylrecords Yes! It’s a carbon fiber brush with a connection to the ground post - I can’t tell you definitively if it helps or not but it was cheap and couldn’t hurt…now that we’re going into winter the weather is dry so there’s a lot more static. I’ll have to play some with and some without and see how much of a difference it makes.
@andrew@vinylrecords definitely recommend picking up OKNOTOK if you see it; the extra tracks are utterly marvellous, and the remaster is shockingly clear as someone who’s been listening since about a week before release.
@kompaktkiste@jazz@vinylrecords They do such a good job on those (and the BN Classics). Great titles at a reasonable price. The Classics are cheaper but I like the gatefold on the Tone Poets. Great series.
@historyofpunkrock Interesting 'white label' semi-bootleg release of Shane MacGowan's pre-#Pogues band The Nips from 1980. Plain white cardboard cover with a stuck-on b&w insert, in typical #bootleg style. Features the legendary 'King of the Bop' on side one - perhaps the first really cracking song that Shane ever wrote. A cross between #punk and #rockabilly.
I bought this in 'Rock On' in London's Camden Town. Three quid and seventy-five pence, at the time. @vinylrecords

@carloshr@vinylrecords vengo a decir que está bien bueno este álbum de #TheRollingStones. Tal como leí, es el sonido de la banda modernizado. Suena bien, es entretenido, variado, pero también tiene puntos bajos. No es el mejor disco de los Stones, pero aprueba con creces.
Mis favoritas: «Tell Me Straight», con #KeithRichards en la voz y «Sweet Sounds of Heaven» con el gran acompañamiento de #LadyGaga. La mejor canción del disco, sin duda.
Green Day - Dookie. I saw the new cash grab Boxsets out recently and found out they weren't cut by the same guy that did this one and the reviews this got were amazing.
Absolutely covered in paper dust so the paper sleeve has gone in the bin and replaced by nice Spincare sleeve.
on now:
Sun Ra - Space is the Place,
the 2023 Verve By Request Third Man Pressing.
my first third man where quality control might have failed. some paper sticking in the vinyl between the run-outs. one minor tick, yet, ermm, not cool, for a €30+ product.
⚫ meh.

^replacing the paper sleeves is a no-brainer of course.
some are worse than others, almost abrasive & scratching hairlines on the vinyl.
i can understand if some mid nineties detroit techno release had them.
however a company putting vinyl-damaging cheap-ass sleeves into premium-priced jazz releases which entitle themselves "audiophile" is nothing less than a massive spit into paying collectors' faces.
yes, Verve / Third Man Records, i'm talking about you.
