Hi mate, they are two totally different albums with the Shelby Lynne album on AP a big improvement over the Lost Highway version IMHO and I like her treatment of the Dusty songs even more than the originals now. Elvis "24 Karat Hits" is a 3LP 180g set with a mix of mono and stereo recording circa the '50s to the mid '60s and AP have done a sensational job of remastering from the original master tapes and I've never heard these songs sound so good.

Cheers,

Keith

Copy that!

[DoggieHowser]

A friend said the old DCC version sounds better than the AP BUT where are you going to find the DCC version now?

It's all subjective DH, but it still sounds pretty good to me on vinyl and I do have it digitally as well, but much prefer the vinyl..............better control of the bass on vinyl. Vinyl and CD are the only formats I've heard it and I've never heard a DCC recording anyway, but I did do my best back in the '70s and '80s with tape and some of it still sounds pretty good today.

Cheers,

Keith

[DoggieHowser]

The DCC is also an LP pressing. But it's selling for insane prices now. Some say the AP version sounds better for stereo

Hi folks, we just had delivered five copies of Jennifer Warnes "The Well" 3LP 45 rpm individually numbered limited edition box sets and we have one copy only now left for sale. Our price for this fabulous album for StereoNET members only is $99.00 plus postage. If you combine one other album from the store with your purchase, we'll send both postage free in Australia. This one album at this price is available only to the first StereoNET member here by PM to me.

I will update this thread when the album is sold.

Cheers,

Keith

[cheekyboy]

Jennifer Warnes "The Well" is sold thanks folks and she's off to a WA member.......well done, it's an extremely good album.

Cheers,

Gday Keith,
Having a bit of trouble with your website mate.
Shopping cart icon indicates 4 items in cart but "View basket" page states "Your shopping cart is currently empty." So I cant buy them.

I have logged in and out a couple of times a results the same each time. Not sure if anyone else is having the same issue.

Cheers
Paul

[Rural Rat]

Sorted it out Keith.
With Firefox I am still having the same trouble. 4 items in cart appears to be locked in for some reason.
Went through Safari and all worked fine. Might get my Technogeek other half to check it out at some time.
Cheers
Paul

[cheekyboy]

Thanks mate, glad you got it sorted...............the different browsers I'm learning quickly can throw up lots of different results.

Cheers,

Keith

[Rural Rat]

I have used Firefox to order before. Obviously a gremlin snuck in somewhere . I will try it again in a couple of days.

[Viognier]

Just got my second shipment from Keith. Again perfectly packaged and everything arrived safely, including 3 box sets and a number of albums. I have used Acoustic Sounds in the states for a number of purchases in the past. I was just about to pull the trigger with them again and thought why not contact our sponsor and see if he could supply the same albums. Not only did Keith supply everything I was after but at very reasonable prices. Not only did I save money using Keith but received my items much faster than I usually do from Acoustic Sounds.

So if you are thinking of getting something from overseas, I'd recommend contacting Keith first. He may not have them on his web site, but he will more than likely source them for you and at a good price.

[cheekyboy]

Thanks for the positive feedback, Mark, always trying to please mate and I would encourage anyone buying from overseas to give us a try first before you commit to that order.

And for everyone out there looking to bag a bargain on some new vinyl during the EOFY sale..................jump in this afternoon and this evening as it all finishes at midnight tonight!!

Cheers,

Keith

[cheekyboy]

Thank you to everyone that took advantage of our recent EOFY sale and I hope you all enjoy your new albums.................they always sound better when you've managed to get a great bargain price too!

We are still of course going to continue to look after our fellow StereoNET members by offering an ongoing automatic discount, which requires you to simply enter the special code SNA712 at the checkout stage of your transaction.

Make sure you check out our blog section while you're in store, as I'm trying to keep it updated on a regular basis and I'd appreciate any feedback you might have.

Cheers,

Keith

[houdinifangs]

So quick!
Made an order Thursday morning, on my door before lunch the next day. Crazy good.
I'd like to add that I really appreciate the payment option for a money transfer. I hate using my CC so this really will steer me away from other sites.

[cheekyboy]

Hello folks, I'll be placing orders in the middle of this coming week with distributors in Europe and North America, so if there is any new vinyl you're after in particular and we don't currently have it in store, now would be a good time to let me know and for you to pick up your new vinyl at a great price. We should have everything being ordered this week, shipped and delivered by the middle of the following week. Send me or Dale a PM here or email Dale at dale@vinyleye.com.au and we'll give you availability and pricing straight away.

Cheers,

Keith

That goes without saying Bohdi, but the main reason I posted that was to let people know before I place the orders this week, so if they want something special, I can place in that order.

Here's a few albums currently in high rotation at casa Vinyl Eye and that I can highly recommend to you.

Marc Cohn's self titled album from Mobile Fidelity - Original Master Recording. Great songs and fabulous SQ.



Willie Nelson's "Red Headed Stranger" a must have if you're a Willie fan - a terrific recording on the audiophile Impex label.


Jennifer Warnes "The Hunter" on Cisco label is a stunning recording and compliments her "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "The Well" in your collection.............very good album this indeed.



Cheers,

Keith

+1 for the MFSL of Marc Cohn, If you get a chance the MFSL of Patricia Barber Verse 45rpm is well worth a listen.

Cheers

I had the fortune of chatting to Keith and Dale today - great communication and service indeed. Down to earth too!
No, I'm not a shill for their business.... Keith actually referred me to check out SNA, which is what brought me here.
Looking forward to learning heaps and growing my collection as I slowly replace my CD's..... Or not so slowly much to my missus' and wallet's grief

Hey Keith & Dale, my package arrived last week, all in perfect order. Ta! Just wondering if John Coltrane's Impulse recordings are easily available on re-issue, or any 60's Impulse for that matter? Maybe dub or reggae classics?

[cheekyboy]

Hi folks, just to let everyone know that we now have limited numbers of Jennifer Warnes "The Well" back in stock for only $99.00 for this sensational album. You can apply your StereoNET member's discount code at the checkout for an even better deal.

[wolster]

I would like to add my thanks to the guys at Vinyl Eye.
It is just terrific to have someone to not only deal with locally but to chat to re special orders etc.
My first order arrived today, very well packed. Has me thinking about getting away early and cranking up the system

[cheekyboy]

Glad they arrived safe and sound, Wally. Let us know how they sound too and thanks for the kind words................mustn't forget the girls here either, because it just wouldn't happen if it wasn't for Dale's efforts.

Cheers,

Keith

Hi Dave, shame you had to work, but really you may as well be there if it is so wet and miserable in Perth today. Glad the albums arrived okay and let us know how they sound when you get a chance to have a listen.

All the albums sound great. Pick of the bunch is Norah Jones - Come away with me, excellent recording.
The only down side was ....Little broken hearts, had a bit of a rough journey at some stage. Both records a bit warped (still playable), but a run through the Vinyl Flat and all is good.

But the big bonus of the day was i sat down and did my tax, and will be getting a return this year

Looks like i'll have to sit down and do myself up a shopping list, and will be in touch when i get my return.

Cheers
Dave

Hi folks, just to let you know that the SNA discount code has changed and you can access your new code for August here. Take a look at the site while you're there and I hope you all take advantage of the discount code when you buy your new vinyl.

Cheers,

Keith

[Grumpy]

Thanks Keith and Dale. I have a couple of albums I'd like, but I can't find them. - Can you or will you order on requests if it's not too much trouble or cost ?

[cheekyboy]

Hi Grumps, I'm trying hard mate to get across to everyone here on StereoNET, that if we don't have the album you want in the store or showing but out of stock, all it takes is a PM to Dale or myself and we'll come back to you quickly with availability and pricing. So, yes mate, let me know what you're after and if it is on new vinyl and provided it isn't out of print, I'm confident that I'll be able to source it for you.

Cheers,

Keith

[Grumpy]

Thanks Keith, I remember you mentioning this before. I need reminding all the time about every bloody thing lately.
I'll be in touch when i can make my bloody ever changing mind up on what I want first

[cheekyboy]

No worries mate, how does the Big 'O' sound on the Garrard?

Cheers,

Keith

[Grumpy]

Very clean detailed and revealing. The bass is how it should be, tight deep and clean. I know a lot of the songs so well that i am finding it quite amazing to find little things I have not noticed before with the recordings in 50 years of listening. eg. You can hear the difference in his voice in one song when he, I think, takes a step back from the mic. never heard it or noticed it before.
Haven't had a real close listen to the whole 2 albums yet but a stand-out that I have noticed - and I did a comparison with an original pressing, is the back-up singers are more noticeable - up front of the left speaker and as loud as Roy in the centre.. I'm not sure if I like it like that as I'm so use to not hearing everything as clear on the old albums and old TT's. Happy? you betcha.
Like I said I have been a fan since his beginnings and his music is very close to my whole family. I made a cassette tape up of his hits for my dying Father to listen to -not sure if he could hear it, but it was his favourite artist And In Dreams was the song we chose to played at his funeral.
Yes! The Big O is hard to beat and this new pressing is the best there is that I've heard, ever..

[robcapp]

I can confirm that Keith can source albums on your want list.
In no time at all he filled 8 of the 7 I requested!
One of those sourced was quite limited and made my week!!

[cheekyboy]

Hi vinyl lovers, just a note to let you know that we have plenty of new arrivals in the store, so check it out if you haven't been in for a look in a while.

Also, we've just put up some special discounted albums from the likes of Keane, Billy Joel, Rickie Lee Jones, Johnny Cash, Dr John, TV on the Radio, The Prodigy and Robert Plant/Alison Krauss with a few more to be added soon. Use your StereoNET discount code and get an even better deal.
