November 21, 200916 yr Yes. Just last week I was listening to the Beatles on vinyl, and Peter Paul & Mary..:cool: What have you been spinning off at 45 speed?
November 21, 200916 yr Author Wow, The Beatles on vinyl! (Make sure you vote in the poll!) Last album I bought on vinyl was VLVODAAHF but I've bought a couple of 12inches since
November 21, 200916 yr :stunned:Modern stuff is still offered in vinyl?? VLVODAAHF?! That's a shock to me! Glad you can get it that way, though - it does still offer great high-fidelity, perhaps unequaled to anything digital commonly on the market.. Isn't that funny too - the older vinyl is superior in sound quality (without scratches, of course) to digital recordings. It's noticeable too! Does it have a more higher frequency tone to it (where the mid and upper ranges are louder or more pronounced than the bass)?
November 21, 200916 yr Author I bought VLVODAAHF on vinyl mainly because I thought the cover deserved to be bigger... and the little scratchy noise at the beginning is beautiful (makes me wishe CoL was the first track!)
November 21, 200916 yr I bought VLVODAAHF on vinyl mainly because I thought the cover deserved to be bigger... and the little scratchy noise at the beginning is beautiful (makes me wishe CoL was the first track!) :laugh3:Yes, for the album art! Makes perfect sense now. And there is something to that - it's 'real' somehow with those scratches - maybe because there's a background sound to it, and that makes it seem like a 'special event' thing? But does it have more of a high range sound to it??
November 21, 200916 yr hells to the yeah. Well mostly my dad's classical records, and some of his blues ones too.
November 21, 200916 yr Author hells to the yeah. Well mostly my dad's classical records, and some of his blues ones too. The blues just have to be heard on vinyl... the crackles are part of the soundtrack!
November 21, 200916 yr i have quite a few vinyl's: Radiohead: All Albums Nude Single Thom Yorke: Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses (Single) All for the Best (Single) Animal Collective: Merriweather Post Pavillion MGMT: Oracular Spectacular Coldplay: Violet Hill/A Spell a Rebel Yell that's it so far... I hope to collect more. I would play them more often, but I don't have my own turntable, and the one that's in the house is in my livingroom, and my parents are always home so i don't get a chance to listen to music :(
November 21, 200916 yr Will definitely look for the MGMT on vinyl... love that album! :D yeah definitely... still have yet to listen to it on vinyl though
November 21, 200916 yr The blues just have to be heard on vinyl... the crackles are part of the soundtrack! yes, yes yes yes yes. Adds a lot of feeling.
November 21, 200916 yr I own Parachutes and Violet Hill/A Spell A Rebel Yell on vinyl. As well as 3 U2 singles from Rattle And Hum with their awesome covers <3
November 21, 200916 yr Author I so want a turntable. One day when I have money. We have one anyway on a really old hi-fi, but I'm thinking about get one of those turntables with a usb connection. Would be great to put some of my really old stuff on to my Ipod
November 21, 200916 yr Author Is that something that used to be played on a gramophone?:confused: So you checked the "What the hell is vinyl" box then :P
November 23, 200916 yr I have a ton of vinyls from my parents, and even grandparents. But I don't have a record player.
November 23, 200916 yr i do!:D i have some U2 vinyls (Boy, October, Under A Blood Red Sky, Rattle and Hum, The Joshua Tree and Desire single) and last Christmas i asked my parents as present a record player:smug:
November 23, 200916 yr I listen to a lot of vinyl. I own relatively loads of records (including a few soundtracks!), and give each fair due on my turntable. I wouldn't let them gather dust of my own accord, but my current setup is FUBAR at the moment. :(
