Table is an older Kenwood with an Audio Technica 8008 cart. Great sound.
And that is an awesome copy of Siamese Dream right there. Jealous here.
Why thank you! I got it four years ago or so at a record store. Need to clean it up, just ordered a brush, lots of background noise, though. I have all their vinyls now, the only one missing was MCIS, but I bought the reissue. Made my wallet quite light, though. LOL.
Can't you still buy the original pressing of it?
You can, but the recent reissues aren't bad. Hunting down originals of 90s vinyl can get pretty rough...and you roll the dice on stuff that was really low volume like that.
Well, the reissue of MCIS is complete trash. Wasted money on it. But yeah, you're probably right. It actually sounds really good, the mids on that album come through with plenty of ferocity.
Having both a reissued Siamese Dream and an original, I prefer the original as I find it a bit more raw and in your face and blood pumping. They cleaned up all the low end grungey distortion stuff and in doing so it seems to have lost some of that drive. I noticed it instantly.
I also have an original Blind Melon and I'm VERY happy to hear it's being reissued. The original was pressed at Masterdisk. BM is a top five band for me.
I saw that. And I see a Mad Season reissue! I just got their CD/DVD reiusse today and couldn't be happier to see it come out on vinyl to match my originals of them, too.
So, I called a local record shop. They're gonna open two hours early, but people still line up two hours before that! At 7 am! And he only got three copies of Blind Melon! Crap! And it's an RSD exclusive, so I only get this one chance. The Mad Season isn't an exclusive, so at least I got that going for me.
Speaking of Record Store Day I just tried to run down to my local store to check it out, and ask them what they had in stock for tomorrow, but they closed early due to the fact they are opening early(9am) tomorrow. Ill be lining up around 730-745. Though they did just post a list of all releases they have on their facebook which is super awesome. They have everything i want
- All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals
- Between the Buried and Me - Parallax 1&2
- Between the Buried and Me - The Anatomy Of
- Dio/Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver
- Lamb of God - New American Gospel
- Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory
- White Stripes - Elephant
They didnt get the Katatonia 7" for Buildings in though :/
Don't think we're getting the Lamb of God release. Pissed. You should get me one.
Ill see what i can do for you. Ive been the first in line both the last two years, so i assume that trend will continue. Though they may only let me take one Or may only have one even
