RB's recommend me a great vinyl thread!

[Rumckle]

The Beatles. Any of their albums.

My sister has Sgt Peppers on vinyl, I wish she had a record player though

[AFK]

ITT, we discover the historic pd.com ambivalence/distaste for the Beatles.

[LMNO]

DO IT!

bonus points if it can be acquired for less than £1 from somewhere like amazon/ebay (uk sites).  I'll keep an eye out in local stores obviously, but this little town ain't great for places that sell vinyl, and I've already bought everything remotely interesting from oxfam.

p.s. vinyl crackle is the most awesome sound ever

"Sticky Fingers" by the Rolling Stones
"The Clown", Charles Mingus
"13 Songs", Fugazi
"Spiderland", Slint
"Sun Sessions" - ANY OF THEM.

[Roaring Biscuit!]

"Sticky Fingers" by the Rolling Stones

price ranges between £35-£200

"The Clown", Charles Mingus

done!

"13 Songs", Fugazi

Apparently I'd have to buy this as its two component albums to have it on vinyl, might save for it tho, damned non-compressed analogue audio formats!

"Spiderland", Slint

done!

"Sun Sessions"

Also a bit pricey, sorry mr. presley.


No bonus points, nut thanks for the suggestions!

my roommate has a growing vinyl collection, and also impeccable taste

Just last night, he returned from a road trip having spent like $120 on vinyl... Last night he treated us to a spin with Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. This album was MADE for vinyl. Have you heard any of their stuff? They rock an olschool motown sound, and they do it really well. It feels VINTAGE, and that sounds AWESOME coming off a record player.

If you have a chance, try to see them live.  One of the top 10 shows I've seen.

Ultrasound. "Everything Picture". Picked it up in a bargain bin for £4. One of the best buys I've ever found. And no, I'd never heard of them before either. Here's a taster on you tube.

awesome!  thanks guys!  I'll keep an eye out for them

I'd never heard of them before either.

That's half the fun!  I'm pretty much using the novelty of having a turntable to explore music that's (hopefully) completely new to me.  'Cause as great as things like Spotify and last.fm are, I pretty much still listen to stuff I already know (at least in some capacity).  So yeh, this is way more fun

"Bill Evans, Live: Sunday at the Village Vangard"

Yeah, it's jazz. Jazz sounds best on vinyl.

"Bill Evans, Live: Sunday at the Village Vangard"

Yeah, it's jazz. Jazz sounds best on vinyl.

Oh, for Vinyl Jazz, my choice would have to be Gong's "You".

Bill Evans....great choice.

I think everyone should have Deep Purple 'IN ROCK' on vinyl.

[Adios]

Steppenwolf.

[BadBeast]

Steppenwolf.

I used to have their first Album. The one with this on it.

What's a vinyl? I know it's a clothing material.

Otherwise, I'm completely left out of this thread.

A heavy black plastic disc, 12 inches in diameter with a single groove going round and round, in which MP3 Tracks used to be mahgickly stored. With the correct equipment, involving a small diamond, and a delicate armature arrangement, the MP3s could be coaxed out of the groove, by means of the electrical resistance in the tip of the diamond when pressure is applied as it rests in teh rotating mahgick groove. Bit like a record deck does.
