Vinyl I am listening to...

[ANILKUMAR]

Hi Anilkumar,

Dont compare was not a part of the the How to Name it LP, it was later added in the CD version, however I think the track was added as a bonus track in one of Ramarajan's film LP. However the recording was top notch, the sleeve mentions Emmy as the sound engineer, recorded at Prasad - the Temple where IR made all his albums.

The other two LPs of MSV and TK Ramamurthy has also been recorded very well in Stereo. Unforunately MSV did not record his film albums in Stereo until the film Pokiri Raja- which I believe is his first Stereo Recording in Tamil.

Paul Mauriat had invited IR to a Concert in Hongkong, and also had him introduced to the audience. I remember vaguely reading somewhere that in the flight to HK the Pilot invited IR to the Cockpit and had him there when it landed.

Dear Murali Sir,

Thanks for taking the IR story forward.
Yes. " Don't compare" is in CD only. I got the Track list copy pasted

Regards,
Anil.

Porcupine Tree - Fear of a Blank Planet

One of my favorite groups... have all of their albums.

Interesting to hear them on vinyl... don't typically associate vinyl with progressive rock or metal acts.

Well everyone has their own interest The bulk of my collection on vinyl is metal and progressive music. Do you own all Porcupine Tree albums on vinyl?

Having Porcupine tree !! Thou Art Lucky!!

Fear of a Blank Planet is not the rarest PT album today. It is still available on vinyl at online stores if you're interested :

The new Steven Wilson album is great, and can be bought on vinyl at Flipkart too if interested. The only PT album I own on vinyl is The Incident. Not a huge fan, but nice to have some of their stuff in my collection. Their show in Mumbai a few years ago was insanely good!

Recently been spinning the following recent acquisitions:
1) Shpongle - Museums of Consciousness (got one of the coolest album covers)
2) Paul Simon - So Beautiful or So what
3) Bill Callahan - Dream River
4) Mazzy Star - Seasons of You
5) Kitchens of Distinction - Folly
6) Manic Street Preachers - Rewind the Film
7) NIN - Hesitation Marks
8) Stone Temple Pilots- Purple (on purple colour vinyl)
9)Superchunk - I Hate Music (deluxe limited edition)
19) Butthole Surfers - Hairway To Steven (original EU press)

Plenty more on the way! Running out of storage space very quickly, and loving every minute of it!

Man you are lucky!! I remember how much i regretted when they finished their show at Mood Indigo..and I realised I'd missed it.. I had my final exams back then It was 2009 if i remember correctly! He needs to come back here!!

Btw i got The Raven that Refused to sing on my birthday early this year as a gift. My friends pre-ordered it since it was scheduled to release on my birthday and luckily enough..Burningshed made sure that i received it on that day itself! Best gift ever

 

[Selvin]

Yesterday listen was "Dancing on the ceeling" by Lionel Richie.. Bulgarian pressing.. Stunning sound quality... Nice to hear the track 'Say you.. say me'
Sourced as an unused from a scrap seller for Rs.10 in 2009 along with few other records.

Yeah I remember that Mood Indigo show was really special. I had actually never heard any of PT's music before the gig, but my friend was a big fan and wanted me to come along. I remember the sound was some of the best live sound I had heard, and i've been to 100's of concerts around the world. It was really jaw droppingly good. Since then I have been listening to their stuff. Incident is also pretty good, but Raven is some of the best stuff i've heard from SW. Sounds great on vinyl too.

Nope, I don't even have a vinyl rig/setup. I meant CDs.

@Anil: one of my favorite album. But unfortunately all my Indian pressing Paul Mauriat records either on Phillips or Fontana labels are having lots of surface noise even in fresh condition. What's your experience? What pressings do you have?
