    Vinyl Me Please Essentials

    I’d like to think there are some with plans in motion to spin up new pressing plants. Even with prices increasing, I don’t see demand dropping off for some time. Although maybe this changes when we see live concerts retune in force. A couple of pressing plants have opened up in Australia in...

    Vinyl Me Please Essentials

    Based on the state of the industry laid out here, I think you could be right. Add in storms in Texas, and the cost of cardboard going up… https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/music/2021/09/its-unmanageable-how-the-vinyl-industry-reached-breaking-point

    Music in French?

    I’m not overly familiar with French music, but this has been on my want list for a long long time…loved the movie and a great soundtrack. It’s never been reissued and not available to stream anywhere, so make do with a made up playlist...

    Vinyl Me Please Classics

    All this Lee Morgan talk, and Bill Withers +’Justments only just landed here today (can safely put that down to the recent massive delays by AustPost). After a quick spin clean this afternoon, it sounds sensational…this will easily slot in to the weeknight rotation.

    Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

    Started the night with some Three Degrees to get in the PIR mood, and then moved on to StVincents Daddy’s Home (arrived today after selecting in swaps last month). After streaming the album earlier I was hesitant about picking this up. Didn’t grab me like I was expecting. But jumped in after...

    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    We ran our TV through a Naim Atom all-in-one for a while, was a clear sound upgrade from our previous no name AV amp. But if you want to stick with Cambridge, they also have their EVO range. Along with the DAC you get plenty of other capabilities, but it all depends on how far you want to go.

    Vinyl Me Please Essentials

    I’ve been watching this thread for more than a few days now. My first copy arrived today. I can already see both albums are warped, they’ve gone through the spin clean, and we’ll give them a spin shortly. Not holding my breath …

    Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

    My copy of Yusef Lateef’s Before Dawn finally arrived last week. With a backlog of rsd and other purchases to work through, tonight is my first chance to play it. And it sounds oh so good. It’s a nice flat pressing with some toe tapping playing the whole way through.

    Vinyl Me Please Anthology

    I had some sibilance rather than any surface noise on my first issue. 2nd press is just about spot on. What sort of surface noise are you getting? I’ll listen a little closer next time round. I haven’t listened with headphones either which can be a little more sensitive.

    What's Spinning

    Finally picked this up the other week and very happy I did. The book style cover beats the traditional multi panel foldout used elsewhere, hands down. Just feels much sturdier, and everything’s easier to access. As for the music, great live vibe and albums 3 and 4 rock, especially (Anesthesia) -...

    Vinyl Me Please Anthology

    21 days door to door and my replacement copy of The Piano has arrived. So far so good with side one hitting all the right notes. No sibilance to complain of and a more enjoyable listen.
