KRSDarwin 2,419 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Inspired by the Vinyl/Records Currently Spinning thread, the great looking coloured vinyl on other threads and the conversation on the sonic quality of coloured vinyl, how about posts of coloured vinyl (and for this purpose black is not a colour)? I will kick it off with the great album and stunning blue of: The Blues Brothers Very good sq on this album 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The proof that Kevin Gray and occasionally Joe Reagoso know what their doing is in the pudding: Meatloaf's 'Bat Out of Hell' for example, is the best that title has ever sounded on vinyl, and quite possibly on any format.

Kevin Gray is top shelf for me but the difficulty is finding out if he actually did any particular Friday release or if they like to wave his name around because he did a few for them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes exactly. Regardless, those Blues Bros and Meatloaf titles are gold. 👍 Oh, and when you're back on your feet mate and ready to spin vinyl, please hit me up? I've got plenty of free wax for you. 🌈 Edited January 26, 2020 by candyflip Link to post Share on other sites

candyflip 3,901 Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Very under-rated album, and now, a very under-rated band who's output seems to no longer be cool. A pity, as there are some really good songs here and I enjoy this one often. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I actually went to see a band that were supporting Birds of Tokyo a long time ago and was kinda annoyed I had to pay for Birds of Tokyo too. I knew of Birds but seeing them live really won me over. Their Broken Strings album is amazing 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Janjuc 41,456 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Hi All, Earlier today played Dream Theater, Once In A Live Time, no problems with it, quiet, haven't had any problems with any of the coloured LPs I have purchased, bar one which was warped, so returned it, but that happens with any colour, including the light absorbent coloured LPs.

But may I ask what the red sticky looking item is on the right side of the TT? Cheers The "red sticky item" is stylus cleaner. I read in the "Vinyl and Turntables" section about 2 years ago that they are made of the same stuff as the stylus gel cleaner you dab your stylus into to get any gunk off. Can be purchased off eBay for about $5 for 5 and you just place on your platter and gently drop the stylus onto it. Link to thread here: JJ 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

candyflip 3,901 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Such a terrific album, let down by a very average and seemingly careless mastering. This band and this record, deserve so much better. A real shame. 🙁 1 Link to post Share on other sites
