Got Gojira's new album on gold vinyl in the mail a couple weeks ago too, and the 'Oh Lord' 7" by Foxy Shazam. So it's been a good month or so Obscured By Clouds is SUCH a great listen on LP!

Now all I'm really looking for is Meddle, as far as Pink Floyd records. The same record store had a re-issue of Piper At The Gates... that I had my eye on, but I already have the 3CD version so I'm in no hurry to grab it.

classicrawker Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) So I finally pulled the trigger and received my copy of the Deep Purple "Made in Japan" Limited Edition Super Deluxe 9LP Boxed Set today........it has all three complete 1972 Japanese shows which were recorded for the legendary 2 LP live album back in 1972..........got it from a record shop in Slovenia for a decent price including shipping as this set is now OOP and hard to find at a decent price. http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/news/deep-purple-made-in-japan-reissue-boxes-formats-explained/ I have the 4 CD version which I love so look forward to hearing the shows complete on vinyl and compare them to the U.S., British, and Japanese first pressings of the original album I own............. Edit: so I checked out the first LP and it is perfectly flat and sounds fantastic. will be checking out the rest of the first show, 2 LP's, tonight............... Also bought a vintage Discwasher record care kit off ebay mainly for the Zerostat gun but the kit is complete and looks basically unused. Was excited to see the test neon bulb was included which confirmed the Zerostat gun was working..........

In LP news; I picked up Tesla-Psychotic Supper the other day. It's one of those 90s albums that never got pressed on vinyl, so I was never expecting it to ever get pressed. I had no idea it was coming, walked into a record store on Friday and nearly shit myself. My next worry was that it would be a budget pressing and sound exactly like that. As soon as I dropped the needle, I was shocked at how good it sounded. Not only did someone press this out of nowhere, but they actually cared to do a great job with it! Score! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicrawker Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Just picked up Aerosmith "Live at Paul's Maul, Boston March 20th, 1973 180 gram vinyl import............I believe this is the earliest known pro recorded Aerosmith concert in circulation with songs from there first album...this is the famous WBCN (RIP) radio broadcast which has been in collectors circles forever. It evidently is a gray market release as Radio shows seem to fall into a loop hole in the EU copyright law. I have this on CD and the quality is excellent so I expect this will sound pretty good ...the back cover claims it was sourced from the WBCN master analog reel but who knows how true this is..........

classicrawker Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) So after much research I finally sprang for a Record Cleaning Machine which arrived today....I was considering a VPI, which based on reviews is great machine, but it was more than twice what I paid for the Record Doctor which is basically a Nitty Gritty machine without the platter turning motor so you spin the record by hand to spread the fluid. Considering how many records I would clean at a time I can live without the platter motor I think. http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RDV&gclid=CO7N5_G8t84CFdBZhgod-qsMsQ Looking forward to giving it spin this weekend to see how it does. I might even do a 2 step cleaning using my spin clean for the first step or for a distilled water rinse......... Someday I would love to get an Audio Desk which uses Ultrasonic cleaning but that is way out of my league financially right now http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=ASVCP Edited August 10, 2016 by classicrawker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard really good things about the Record Doctor too. I would LOVE to get the Audio Desk too eventually but I'm in the same boat you are. There's just NO way to justify that purchase at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would be a pretty major investment If this guy wins this auction he is getting a bargain if it is in good working order http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Desk-LP-Vinyl-Record-Cleaning-Machine-Original-3995-Gene-Rubin-Audio-/361674300995?hash=item543577de43:g:Jf4AAOSwnQhXomzO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you heard anything about the stylus cleaner I posted above? I googled around and found some thoughts, but not much. It's $150, so it's not that big of a gamble, but I'm seriously thinking about doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classicrawker Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Just got these in the mail today Original British Vertigo pressing from a seller in Great Britain which looks mint.....really love old 70's Quo This is a sealed reissue which was mastered from the original analog tapes by Friday Music I have originals buried with my other LP's I bought in the 70's but I am sure they are a little beat up so looking forward to listening to clean copies Edited August 19, 2016 by classicrawker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
