Catch of the Day: Vinyl You've Recently Bought

 

[Hiten]

Thanks George. Good Thread to start in Hifivision. Or are you referring it to point that only old people listen to vinyl ?
Anyway two Vinyl recently bought are...

1) Marvin Gaye - What's Going on
2) Issac Hayes - Hot buttered soul
But will have to wait to listen to them as they are with a friend who will be bringing them next week.
regards

2.) Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon
3.) Olivia Newton John - Making a good thing better
4.) Original Sound Track - Grease

All sound amazing though all are Indian Pressings

Hiten, both the vinyls are great and a part of soul and r&B music history!
If you dont like them (a 1% chance!) pass them on to me!

 

[Hiten]

Manav, will definitely keep you in mind if I don't like them.
A question for you and everyone. I have few vinyls which don't have record labels only side A and Side B stamped on them. Are they first test pressings ? Any info on this ?

Sorry George for being a little off topic.

Thanks.

hello earthling. your planet is indeed strange. it listens to music on round shiny discs but there's no music on them. we came, we listened, we went back to planet VI.

Berlin Philharmonic / Herbert Von Karajan / Richard Strauss - Also Sprach Zarathustra
VIenna Philharmonic / Herbert Von Karajan / Vivaldi - The Four Seasons

All I can say is Wow! These are superb albums. Two great orchestras, two great compositions, and one of the best conductors of all times!

Do you know Von Karajan used to lose his temper very often and always carried multiple batons as he used to break them on players' head very often?

Cheers

Are the sandboxes for isolation? When will it be ready?

 

[stevieboy]

well knowing just how lazy i am probably never

but planning to force myself to take measurements and put in the order by this weekend. vinyl was sounding quite dead when sachi came over then i placed the turntable on the acrylic cover of the garrard much better. can hear notes clearly fading away and the overall sound is lighter on its feet and more alive. there's still vibration on the acrylic so ought to improve with the sandbox.
