I'd love for them to repress it, but I'm also happy with my OP for now Yea, it's odd that they re-pressed B-Side Ourselves a year or two ago, and the S/T album a few years ago, but they never did Slave To The Grind. It is indeed a kick ass record tho, I'm excited to play it when it gets here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have them all as it is (including subhuman) but would buy something like that in a heartbeat still. Though tensions in the group will probably always prevent anything like that from happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear an official release of something like Wembley '91, Rio '92 or Budokan '92. Anything from the Slave To The Grind tour would be awesome. And I'd buy that box too... only ever seen Subhuman on discogs/ebay for crazy $$$. The 'Subhuman Beings On Tour' EP would be cool to have on vinyl, too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) For anyone interested, Ion Records released limited copies of "Bucketheadland 2" on black and colored vinyl. That's the same label that released "Population Override" a few years ago.

I wanna pick that up but the cheapest I've seen it so far is about $45 CDN and there's only a few songs I like on there... I really want OMG on vinyl tho...

Just had to have it, which I know is unreasonable lol. In any case, it does sound better than the digital version IMO. Not a ton better, but better for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took some messing around with EQ's on the CD/digital version for the drums not to sound completely buried... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 The turntable portion of my Locked & Loaded Bundle arrived yesterday. It's pretty much what I thought it was; a Pro Ject Essential III. I like the sound of my current deck (AT-LP240) so I think I'm going to stick with that. I believe I'm going to gift the GN'R Pro Ject to a buddy who needs an upgrade. Besides that, I got some awesome news yesterday. A buddy of mine sent me this pic: Amused To Death is one of my favorite albums of all time. I have an OP and I also have the 2 LP 200g edition Analogue Productions released a couple of years back. I will buy this too. This is going to be about $125 and I absolutely just do not care. I have to have this! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willis1988 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I got some great stuff for Christmas! AC/DC - High Voltage and Fly on the Wall Alter Bridge - Blackbird Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic Queen - Greatest Hits I and II Chris Stapleton - Traveller Wolfmother - Cosmic Egg Marillion - Clutching at Straws remastered, which sounds absolutely amazing! One of the most underrated bands and albums of the 1980s! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) got the George Harrison Vinyl Collction for Xmas. What a beautiful box set. It contains all twelve solo studio albums, live in Japan and two picture disc singles. The box set has a lenticular image of George on the front that changes from a young George to an older George. It's super cool. Edited December 25, 2018 by Stiff Competition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) I received a turntable for Christmas and I'm listening to Appetite on it right now. It sounds amazing on vinyl.

RussTCB Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 I gave my friend the GNR turntable yesterday. Set it up for him and it sounds really good. @Stiff Competition I was very surprised when I opened the box to find that it's the acrylic platter included.

It's just that @Stiff Competitionand I know turntables very well. We're both very well versed in the Pro Ject line up. We were both surprised (and happy!) that the acrylic platter was included with a Essential III because it usually isn't 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
