Now that my LP12 is only awaiting its new cartridge, I'll soon be able to hear my stash of newly acquired vinyl (both s/h and new) and I plan to basically avoid the purchase of new cds unless no vinyl can be found.
However, I find from time to time that it's tricky to keep on top of who is releasing stuff on vinyl - both in a new release and a re-release sense. I wondered if it might be worthwhile to have a topic in which people can add details of any new vinyl releases they've acquired, what you think of it, and where the rest of us can get it. Maybe this concerted effort will open up new avenues of musical pleasures for the rest of us...
I'd start, but until I get my upgraded-and-breathed-upon deck I won't be able to comment on how good the music and/or pressings are/is.
So long as we keep all hifi talk clear of this topic, I'll add some of the newly acquired vinyl (new or re-release, but crucially unplayed) that I can think of, and where it came from:
DSOTM 30th Anniversary =- replaces my 1997 box-set 180g version, which got warped when I left it in the sun. Must look for a first pressing sometime. Amazon.co.uk
The Old Kit Bag =- Richard Thompson's latest. On order at Amazon.co.uk. If it's anything like the Bong Load pressing of Mock Tudor then it's worth paying the extra, even if I already have the CD.
Wicker Man (OST) =- A simply vinyl purchase, 'cause I always loved the music in the film but I've never seen an original vinyl copy. 180g audiophool, but I got it in the sale.
Safe as Milk =- Again, a SV copy, but one of their 125 series, 'cause it was cheap.
Is a woman/Nixon =- both on order, try www.cdzone.co.uk - despite the name, there seems to be a fair bit of vinyl floating around.
That'll do for now. I've also recently acquired a lot of DG pressings in what appears to be mint- condition, and a few 60s Deccas. Also 8:30 by Weather Report, a couple of Miles' LPs (early pressings, not mono sadly) and some other stuff. Also an accidental copy of the "Forbidden Planet" soundtrack, sent in error but told to have as a freebie (SV).
