Nice ?

 

Thought I better post something "non 80s" for @furtherpale (seeing he is anti 80s) ?

That’s an all analogue chain on those, but a mix of mono and “stereo” (ie swung left or right) - but if you have a mono switch, it’s 80% as good as ‘mono masters’ for 1/4 the price!!!

Hi All,

 

Van Der Graaf Generator, The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other, could have placed in the "Weird, Avante Garde & "Out There" Spinning" area.

Funny you mention MONO - 

I have been given a few records by someone from my work (was his father in laws) and I am sorting through them now and cleaning them up to see what may interest me and what to donate. 

But one of them is a MONO record from 1968.

Do I need a special Stylus to play this?

Will it ruin my Ortofon Bronze MM if I do?

 

I don't think my Amp has a mono switch (Marantz NR1200)

 

This is the album -

seems it might be quite valuable.....

it appears in mint condition - not one scratch or scuff.

You won’t break anything - it will just sound a lot better with a mono switch, and even better again with a mono cartridge.

OK thank you - wanted to check - not come across an oldie like this before - being mostly the 80s/90s gal I am ?

After being assured by @furtherpale it is safe to drop my needle on a Mono Record without wrecking my stylus I did...........(holding my breath to see if there would be explosions.............LOL)

 

This has come into my possession - a work mate brought in about a dozen records that was his Father in Laws he was going to drop off to charity - I asked if I could look through them first, and clean them up and maybe donate what is not of interest. Most records are Welsh Folk/Jazz & some James Last (they will be donated) but I kept a George Benson (not something I would buy but was almost NM and I enjoyed it) but this one was interesting................I could see it was "something special" - recognising Decca Label and the London Record shop label on the front made me smile too...............

It is almost MINT !! (plays flawlessly)

It was dirty and needed some love - but not one scratch or scuff - and it plays like a velvet dream and so beautiful !!!!!!

And a look on Discogs also says quite valuable - $285 pounds for a Minty one.

 

Anyway, shall stay in my collection because it is historical to me and it means his FIL will smile from heaven ?

Afternoon Folks.

 

A quick spin before heading back to the kitchen for dinner service...

 

Bob Marley and The Wailers  'Live; Boston Music Hall 1978'  Musicbank. 2017 KB Imports, UK.

Yes... from The Reject Shop, but not a bad slab o' vinyl.

 

G'day @furtherpale  In the 80's especially, I would never listen to Roxy Music or a host of other popular artists, however, they sure did worm their way into my psyche.  Parties, FM airwaves, and of course a plethora of  old compilation albums which graced many Aussie collections.

 

It's a great sounding record, and a soothing listen.

 

Re; the Sabbath reissue - I will get onto it tonight my man.

 

 

Is anyone else have issues with text jumping around as you type???

Has your Marantz amp got a mono switch?

Hi All,

What fantastic looking vinyl!  Hard to spot the tracks I imagine

Not really when seen 'in the flesh'  there is a fairly distinct gap between the respective tracks.

 

Currently on another reissue by Nick drake, Five Leaves Left, a boxed LP with bits and pieces of copies of tickets to shows, billboards, hand written notes of the songs etc, in a box that has a well worn lookinging LP cover as the frontcover.

Awwwwwwww how nice to trigger off a lovely memory for you - the best thing about music are the triggers (well the good triggers in life) - I am surprised I really liked the musical part (not the two vocal tracks though) - but I did enjoy the rest of it as it sounded incredible ..................enjoy your dinner - hope it is better than mine will be - I am having boring chicken sausages (arrrghhhhhhhh buy too many records and have to eat Sangers - hahahahahaha)
