RussTCB Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Russ gets to go record shopping in Vegas The last two times I was in Vegas, I didn't have any luck finding anything. There's one record store that's in the ghetto that I keep meaning to get to though. I'm gonna try to hit it soon after I land on Wednesday.

The first one I'm in is on Paradise up near Sahara so I'm gonna try to get there on the first day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Core just got here :headbang: Nice. I think you'll dig the sound.I didn't make it by Record City yet, but I called and they said they were closing at 2pm because of the holiday. I'll see if I can work it in some time between tomorrow and Sunday maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Forgot to mention - I also picked up original pressings of The Impression That I Get & The Rascal King 7"s at the third Bosstones gig for $10 each. Seen the latter go for upwards of $80 in recent months! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I just got done listening to Purple Rain. I'm not a huge Prince fan, but that album is great. Vinyl is the only way IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussTCB Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 OriginalFor the record, I've listened to both quite a bit and there's no real difference IMO. If anyone sees an original in great shape, I'd say just grab that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Ya I went on a binge about 2 years ago, raded all my local "used" music stores for vinyl. Thats where I found PR, among many others. It still sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Was just gifted The Beatles (white album). Definitely a cool album but I put Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road ahead of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron MikeyJ Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Just got my Illusions, just finished 2, getting ready for 1. They do sound great. It's like hearing it for the first time all over again, except I know all the songs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 So after looking through my vinyls something occured to me, gnr are not that far behind zeppelin when it comes to total out put. Because (by vinyl standards) both Illusions and CD are all double albums. Short double albums (Physical Graffiti run time est. 82 mins, while Illusion 1 76min, Illusion 2 75 mins, and CD 71 mins). But when you add up both bands discography, gnr is only about 40 mins behind Zeppelin. (but they did do a covers album, so its about 90 mins minus TSI). My point in bringing this up? If they would have released that 96' album (which is another story) or whenever Axl gets around to a new album, he will have equaled zeppelin in total minutes. Perhaps even exceed. But like I said, TSI is a covers album, and I didn't include Coda. Because IMO it's not a real Zeppelin album, just another Posthmus album. Not quite the same.

Finally made it to Record City. They had some ok stuff but nothing special. They had a lot of Floyd but all of it seemed to be bootlegged versions of old LPs so I passed. They had The Final Cut, Piper, WYWH and Obscured By Clouds but they were all on colored vinyl (not pink) which I know is bootleg. On top of that, they wouldn't let me listened to any of them even though the were unsealed. Even though I'm not a big Syd fan, I wanted to grab Piper but ultimately passed on it due to the over all sketchy nature of the interaction.

wfuckinga Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 interesting. most record stores should let you have a listen, especially if it's not a factory sealed copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I need to get more Floyd on vinyl, the only one I have the Darkside 180 gram reissue from a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really want to get the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfuckinga Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 All I need from Floyd is DSOTM. I don't care for any of their other albums, just a few songs off of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudsonsaul Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hi folks, got a question regarding vinyl & players.How much damage does playing vinyl do to the record itself?....and is this compounded by the cheaper & crappier the player that is spinning the record? (eg. a top of the line player, won't fuck up the vinyl as much).,,,,or is it down to the needle?Reason I ask is I have some really old vinyl, some quite rare, that I still listen too. However, I'm conscious that I might be slowly degrading them (and keep meaning to digitally back up the rarer ones).Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
