Crate Diggers (What are you listening to now vinyl edition)

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who has an assortment of allen keys sitting next to the table

 

Yeah, my Kid A is Capitol as well because I didn't want to deal with the headache of finding a first press Parlophone copy. From what I've read, OKC shows the biggest difference of all their titles, but in general the UK/EU pressings sound better and are also better pressed. It's probably worth keeping in mind that there's no way a lot of people have heard both pressings for all of Radiohead's albums on good setups, and there's a lot of contradictory information out there.

 

I have both pressings of Kid A (well, I have original UK, second run UK and US Capitol from 2008) and the original UK one is *far superior* to the US Capitol from 2008. My second run UK pressing is still unopened as I was hoping to hear some more info on it before I opened it.

 

AFAIK only the first pressing is unique to the EU, all other pressings are the same as Capitol.

 

Congrats, you're a big boy now!

 

Nightmares on Wax - Carboot Soul. Smooooooooothhhhhhh.....

 

the one important thing that is holding me on the whole vinyl thingy is that I'm pretty sure most of the music I listen to (new "commercial" indian music by AR-Rahman for example) cannot be found on vinyl.... :'(

 

Ben Webster - At the Renaissance (Analogue Productions 33rpm). Long out of print! But grab it if you ever see it.

 

Hooboy.... I got WAXED!



New reissue on yellow vinyl! Though, need to return this, there''s some manufacturing defect at the beginning of track 1 on both sides.... It's ORG Music licensed, but produced in Czech Republic...



looks to be a 1st pressing of this Bernard Herrmann gem



1st pressing of Smiles in perfect condition!


UK 1st pressing, looked clean, but some serious pops and snaps

Gorgeous, quiet as digital


AND found an early pressing of Skylarking... boy, these ORG Music pressings are excellent.

 

Wow! Talk about hauling over the record shop back to your place! Every Adam I know now has vinyl "issues". LOL!

 

And it's ALL YOUR FAULT!

 

You know you're in trouble when you have to originate new entries in Discogs!

 

RATATAT's LP3. So ridiculously good, this can't be real life. I feel almost guilty listening to this.

 

What a haul. If that is a first pressing for the Bernard Hermann, you are one lucky dude. Just curious, how can you tell its a first pressing for Phase 4? Does it follow the Decca methodology, I just don't know.

And a six Eye Miles Smiles First Pressing, wowzers. Us old farts have too much to like.

And now I have to find 'Stoneflower' too. Argggh! My wallet is bleeding this month.....

 

After further inspections, it's not the Decca, but it's the first UK London pressing, same year. I don't know what the difference is but it is a Phase 4, I assume it's the same. Anyone know?

Is there a six eye of this? This is the first pressing according to Discogs:

This is the one I got.

 

You are right, my mind slipped on when Miles Smiles came out, and the Columbia labelography at the time. You have the first mother stampers too?

 

Ugh so this is what I have to look forward to once I get my setup running..

 

Once you've had your first virgin (vinyl), you keep chasin' it, chasin' it, chasin' it....

 

Digital tickles your ears, vinyl feeds your soul. It really is addictive, if time consuming.

And if anything this is the easiest way to seventy one virgins.
