hhv and vinyl-digital are both german record shops that sell bootlegs; they don't sell bootlegs exclusively but the fact that they're pretty much the only places that you can order this pressing from (or at least the first to stock it) and the fact that the catalog number, etc. are identical to the 2012 press are pretty damning evidence. that said german bootlegs are of generally high quality and i bought the poo poo out of this

Hmmm, so they must still be using the XL plates with the missing samples then. Was wondering which version of the album they'd be using. We'll never get a complete version of this record!

I didn't even see the thing about the remastering. Wonder how that'll pan out.

I have a friend who's a huge This Heat fan who hadn't heard the Camberwell Now material. Bugs me that they slipped through the cracks almost entirely.

The Ghost Trade is an album I'll throw on whenever I'm in the mood for Some Motherfuckin' Drums:

Just missing one 7" to complete the discography. Saw Queer Salutations on sale for like $100 a month ago and balked at the price. Saw it again a couple weeks ago and bought it for $35. Gotta love discogs.com sometimes.

people who already have a copy have said that it's an unmolested version of frontier psychiatrist, at least, which means it may very well be pressed from lossless digital like most other german boots. in any case my copy will be delivered by friday and i'll post a trip report when i have time

I picked up the Houdini reissue and it was plenty clean and clear on the audio front. There's good space in the recording and those heavy songs feel like they have some good weight to them. I'm pretty satisfied with the Houdini release at least. Stoner Witch is on the list for the next pickup.

I was planning on only getting a select few from albums I've loved for many years, but I saw this randomly and decided to get it:



The album is pretty snazzy!

So did I back in the 90s. I got a neat 8-disc set of "One Hit Wonders" from Europe. It had songs on it I hadn't heard in 20-30 years.

Yeah, the map art is part of what convinced me to get that album. The only one I don't care about in that series is Super Castlevania IV but I might as well get the entire set, right?

Also, I'd give an internal organ or two to get goat's unchosen paths (Dracula's Curse done in a hard rock style) on vinyl. But it's a fan-made release so that'll happen about never.

It's a reprint approved by Lynch and Badalamenti, and Mondo said there is no super special colored edition for this one, so everyone gets the same thing.

I absolutely love them. Just been playing a few hot stamper / TAS / MFSL bullshit records I have for fun and can't get enough of them. What's crazy was I was actually setting up a road trip this weekend to drive like 2 hours to demo/buy a pair of Klipsch Belles but then the La Scalas popped up on CL for like less than half the price and 15 minutes away. It'd been nice to have Belles but I ain't mad.

Original AA crossovers, so I'll probably need to rebuild them to change the caps but no big rush.

Any info on this? The closest thing I can find to a current release (beyond a picture disc pressed a couple years ago) is https://www.musicdirect.com/store/megadeth-rust-in-peace-limited-edition-180g-vinyl-lp which states it's a remaster of the original mix, which is horseshit, because he rerecorded half the record the last time he went to remix it because the master tapes were missing.

That's so awesome, I'm jealous. If at some point I move into a singe family home and have some more space for some big rear end speakers, I'd like to try out the Klipschorn/La Scala/Belles. My current mains are some Klipsch KLF-20's and they've treated me very well over a period of about 15 years.

The stereo master tapes weren't missing; it was some of the multi-track tapes. All the 2004 Megadeth reissue CDs were new mixdowns from the multi-track tapes. I can confirm the Capitol Vault 180g Rust in Peace is the original 1990 mix. I've read the newer picture disc is sourced from the 2004 remixed, re-recorded abomination, though.

Motor noise and vibration are the most common side effects for DD you'll see mentioned. As to how much this actually factors into your enjoyment depends on how much audiophile kool aid you've drank. I think every turntable I've ever owned had been DD and it's not something I've ever worried about.
