I listened to that Brian Wilson a few times...I love Wilson, but to me, everything about it is mediocre. The melodies, the arrangements, the harmonies, etc. were all just OK to me.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ I don't know about your neck of the woods, but around here it is neigh impossible to find original Kinks LPs. I was thrilled to settle for a beat-up copy of Kinks Kronicles a few weeks ago.
Haven't posted in awhile but that doesn't mean I haven't been buying a ton of vinyl

That's a video called Bob Dylan Wants you to Embrace Mono
believe it was made to promote the new Dylan boxset in Mono coming out. I want to get it on vinyl really bad. it's almost 50% off the regular price if you pre-order on Amazon now
Bob Dylan The Mono Vinyl Box Set on Limited Edition 9 x 180g Vinyl LP
Cut from the Original Analog Mono Masters by George Marino at Sterling Sound: This is the ULTIMATE AUDIOPHILE Dylan LP Box Set
Each Disc Comes With Individual Jacket Replete with Original Artwork and Inserts
Includes Deluxe Booklet, Limited Edition 18" x 24" Poster, Rare Photos and Greil Marcus Essay
Bob Dylan’s first eight groundbreaking albums are returning for the first time ever in a limited edition box set of newly re-mastered mono versions on fully analog 180-gram vinyl. Also Available: CD Box Set
The Original Mono Recordings are comprised of these albums painstakingly reproduced from their first generation monaural mixes as the artist intended them to be heard: One channel of powerful sound, both direct and immediate. While stereo recordings had been available as early as the mid-1950s, mono was still the predominant, and often preferred, mode of recording and mixing by the top artists of the 1960s. As a result, artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan devoted their attention to the mono mixes, leaving the stereo mixing process to studio engineers.
As is fitting for a box of this magnitude, The Original Mono Recordings are accompanied by a deluxe booklet, featuring vintage photographs of Bob Dylan and an expansive essay from renowned author and critic, and longtime Dylan aficionado, Greil Marcus. Each disc in the set comes in its own individual jacket which faithfully replicates the original album artwork, complete with labels and stickers that were found on the original 1960s releases.
Cut from the original analog mono masters by the legendary George Marino at Sterling Sound, we guarantee this is the best you will ever hear Dylan sound. This set is simply unprecedented, some of the most important and timeless music ever made, now in jaw-dropping sound that rivals what was heard in the studio control room.

That set looks pretty sweet. If I didn't already have all those (albiet in stereo) I'd be all over that. I still keep an eye out for Dylan monos (any good mono releases really), but I don't need them THAT bad.
and Gus, you really couldn't pick a better time in the last 20 years to start collecting vinyl. The selection of new releases and quality reissues right now couldn't be better.

my record player has been collecting dust for sometime now. i love the sound but i guess the hassle of changing records is what gets to me. its so much easier to just DL things, throw them in itunes and press play. then i can listen to album after album without lifting a finger, as opposed to half an album then having to flip it over.

I'm exactly the opposite. If I'm listening at home, I tend to tune out the man Mp3 playlist after awhile because I know it's not going to stop. But an album side for me is just the perfect morsel of music to consume without losing focus. With vinyl I'm a much more active listener.

haha come one dude. i thought I was lazy. It's really not that much of a hassle to flip a record. it's like a 10 second annoyance lol.

Exactly why I listen to it.
Agreed. Physically putting the record on puts the jacket in my hands which usually leads me to grabbing the lyrics (or reading them off the inside jacket) while listening. Putting on an MP3 list on shuffle makes it easier to ignore what i'm listening to.

Just bought Bowie's entire discography up to Never Let Me Down, all original pressings, for $100 flat from my boss. He used to be an avid record collector back in the day and now he more or less doesn't like music anymore, so he offered to sell them to me.
Post by A$AP Rosko on Oct 20, 2010 18:45:28 GMT -5
Yeah, it is. He and I are really close. Working in record stores for 35+ years (almost 40), he just got burnt out of music in general at some point about 5 or 10 years ago. He was just going to give me the whole set of Bowie records, but I made him take some money from me. He also sold me the entire Talking Heads discography.
^Replacing the cartridge/needle is definitely a headache since it's specific to your record player.
Snagged a bootleg copy of Smile (the Beach Boys one, not the re-recorded Brian Wilson one) on vinyl at Harvest Records this past weekend for $14.99. Zapp Brannigan was there to attest.
Every record player requires a specific cartridge/needle as far as I know. There are universal cartridges that fit several different record players/brands, though.
