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.

MCIS is a very unfortunate screw up, but the rest are good.
 
90s vinyl is just one of those things that you better hope it gets reissued or you're in for a gigantic hole in your wallet.
 
I'm super excited for the Blind Melon reissue coming out for RSD tomorrow. Never thought I'd own a copy.

I own the Siamese Dream reissue, and they did a really good job at the remaster, at least for my non-trained ears. I plan on getting all the reissues, since the original pressings are impossible to find where i live. I saw one Mellon Collie that was going for almost $700.

Didn't knew about the Blind Melon reissue, i totally need to get this!

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.

Ours is 10am and I'll be there at 8:30. They say that'll be enough time, and they are a fairly large store, so I don't see 3 copies of anything happening.
 
I will be upset if I don't get what I want though.
