Wooderson Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Pretty glad I didnt spend €90 on a decent copy of Relationship of Command before Christmas. http://www.factmag.com/2013/01/28/at-the-drive-in-to-reissue-relationship-of-command-and-acrobatic-tenement/ Will be interesting to see which of these pressings turns out best.

Wooderson Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 What are on people's wish lists? Decent copy of Super Furry's "Songbook" on wax has always been on my hitlist. Love the pop-up book sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) I've just got Funkadelic - Uncle Jam Wants You from EBay. Very pleased Nice! Enjoy the bass. Listened to Babylon by Bus by Bob Marley at the weekend. Loud. Sounds so so good. Like they're in the room. Bass is incredible!

Alcatraz Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 On the VInyl to MP3 front, I have a USB turntable but what a ballache. Did a lot of record shopping in America this year and all but one of the new releases I bough had a code to download the MP3's as well. Very useful. Birmingham is blessed with the incredible Diskery. The back rooms and attic are cool places to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 one of the new releases I bough had a code to download the MP3's as well. Very useful. are the MP3s decent quality? Or are they something like 192bps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 are the MP3s decent quality? Or are they something like 192bps? They are usually nearly always 320kbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcatraz Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 They are usually nearly always 320kbps Yup, always the best quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yup, always the best qualityI bet ya they're standard 320 tho, and not the best-quality 320. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Yup, always the best quality Why the record companies haven't been screaming that from the rooftops is beyond me. Was listening to Astral Weeks last night. First time I've heard it on vinyl. Wow. Neil - Doesn't really matter if its standard 320 or not. Still sounds like utter shit in comparison. But a lot of companies offer HQ AAC. Sony leading the way on that. Edited February 1, 2013 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Jokers Attack Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Vinyl is my preferred format. Still buy CDs but get vinyls a fair bit. Recent purchases.. Maggot Brain - Funkadelic World Music - Goat Journal For Plague Lovers - Manics (£6 off amazon) Wonderful Glorious - Eels (out on Monday) So many on my wishlist that seems to be never ending.

When Jokers Attack Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 and the Villagers new album Loving that album at the moment Just got the new Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Only £12.79 from amazon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdoujaparov Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 I bought that when it came out. I think it came with a t-shirt (or it might have been a promo thing).. Vic Maile produced it, and had a hand in some of the best live recordings ever. Engineer on Live At Leeds... engineer for the 1970 Isle Of Wight mobile recordings, Motorhead, Eddie & The Hot Rods... oh and The Inmates. Also a tape op on early Who & Kinks recordings, so quite clearly learnt his chops with the best. Always got an amazing sound... studio recordings were pretty much live... lovely guy, great producer Can't say I remember what the vinyl sounds like. I still have it, but haven't played it (the vinyl album)for a while it's a great album...worth digging out for a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy_miller Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 The other Vinyl thread appears to be broken (I keep getting a database error when I click on it). Anyway, I am in the market for a good cheap turntable, and I think one was recommended in the other thread. Does anyone know which one it was?

abdoujaparov Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Personally, I'd go for a Pro-Ject Essential (around 150-170 quid), or if you're a bit more flush a Pro-Ject Debut (about 240 quid) You cant beat Pro-Ject turntables for the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy_miller Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah I was looking at those ones. What about a pre-amp? I don't think my hifi has a phono input (I will have to check when I get home later). Is the bog standard Cambridge audio one OK, or should I get a project one as well?

The Nal Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I got the Project Essential Turntable and this pre amp and can happily report relentless awesomeness in my house these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdoujaparov Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 The Cambridge Audio phono stage (Azur 640P) would be great with the Pro-Ject deck. With the greatest of respect to the Nal, I wouldn't touch a 15 quid, battery powered phono stage with a 10 foot stick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
