What in Analogue Have You Bought Today?

[rsa17]

Just bought a fully automatic Apan turntable today, and it came with 5 albums. 3 x Stevie Ray Vaughan, 1 x modern Toto double album, and a sealed copy of Rage Against the Machine album. Going to move the RATM and Toto albums on if you know anybody that would be interested?

from Amazon.au - no idea of the release or reviews on pressing etc...

 

 

Warner Music, Release Date ‏  2024

Just now from Rarewaves, via Ebay (cheaper than the Rarewaves website sale price + postage):

 

Deep Purple "The Now What?! Live Tapes" 2013 German (Optimal) pressing.....with the great Steve Morse.....a nice line up of Purple hits plus some new ones co-written with Morse that have his definite (Dregs) flavour, which I love.

Interesting find at a garage sale on the weekend.

A Jazz direct to disk recording purely made as a sample copy for manufacturers to show off their different products.

Just arrived from a Discogs seller, 

Peter Gabriel - New Blood. 

My digital copy sounded so good , I just had to get it on vinyl.

Not disappointed either, worth the expense!

Great set-up Clive. Next level.

Daniel Carter, Tobias Wilner, Djibril Toure, Federico Ughi – New York United Volume 2

+ the 2022 reissue of

Thievery Corporation – Sounds From The Thievery Hi-Fi  -  this sounds a whole lot better than the Saudade reissue.  Lovely dynamics with xclent bass.

Picked up a 1978 copy of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds from Rocking Horse Records. Sounds terrific. Great soundstage and Richard Burton is perfectly cast as the sombre journalist.

Great album!  

 

If you love it and want a better-sounding copy ... there is a Japanese pressing around (I have a copy).

Great album. Being 1978, it's pre-digital. Pure Analogue, good find.

A late arrival tonight. 

Nicolas Jaar – Cenizas

 

[stevoz]

Popped into my local Vintage Bazaar this afternoon and found a "3 for $6" crate.....why they are so cheap when there is LP's in other crates from $10 each up to $45 each that are in no better condition, I have no idea.....so I grabbed these three....and all appear NM.

 

Janis Ian "Between The Lines" Oz 1st pressing.....the album with 'At Seventeen' on it.

 

 

Michael Franks "One Bad Habit" Oz 1st pressing.

 

 

Wa Wa Nee "Stimulation" 12" 45 rpm EP.....this is mastered by DB.....bonus! 80's Aussie synth pop!

 

 

Lastly, this was $5, Howard Jones "No One Is To Blame" 12" 45rpm single. I believe this is a Tony Taurins cut, due to the triangle preceding the first two letters MX in the run out etching. Should sound good....pity it's a fairly boring ballad as I've since discovered.

I bought that on release in 1978, you're right it sounds fabulous.

We had some great mastering engineers back in the day. Don Bartley, Tony Taurins, Alan Parson and Steve Smart to name just a few.

It's Allan with 2 l's.....helps discern him from the 'Project' legend.

 

Australia certainly had and still has some mastering engineers who are up there with the best in the world.

 

DB and SS are still going.

Mrs Godot just got home from the post office with Sarah Blasko’s “I just need to conquer this mountain”. Very excited, it has been a long time since “Depth of Field”. Also excited for the live gig in Castlemaine in December.
