I only have Tusk, and that's only because my parents bought it when it came out. I'll probably pick up Fleetwood Mac when it comes out, so long as it's not exceedingly expensive. Plus, all of the thrift stores around here have been picked clean of the good stuff, so it's not like the other two are just floating around there. I can't wait for garage sale season. That's when I'll get the really good older stuff. Though I did just pick up The Stranger and Born to Run for pretty cheap over the past few days.

There's lots of good stuff like Bare Trees and [/b]Penguin[/b]. I love Christine McVie's work. She's far superior to Nicks in nearly every way. Oh trust me. I absolutely love the song "Sentimental Lady," which has a great opening line: "You are here and warm, but I could look away and you'd be gone." It's a brilliant love-song line in the same vein as "I may not always love you." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvCUJgnVg3o

CPL593H posted:Well for starters I loving hate Fleetwood Mac. But aside from that, releasing nothing but a bunch of Baby Boomer wank is a total loving waste because they could use the occasion to put out some cool and unique releases. Or better yet, just put them out anyway without it being an occasion. Everything about RSD just reeks of cash grab. If they really gave a poo poo about a niche market they would have been working with independent stores all along and not just in the last few years when vinyl records became fashionable again. I can guarantee you that once the novelty wears off and the bandwagon hoppers stop caring Record Store Day will be history. I went last year for the first time in a few years and, never again. Terrible crowds, horribly over priced poo poo, fake hype that makes every release cost $100 on ebay for like 5 days until the dust settles...and to top it all off most of the poo poo isn't even that exciting. Blech. No thanks, RSD. All I wanted was those Tron discs and they were gone in like 2 seconds. They were also horribly over priced. I think I just ended up buying that hosed Up album that I listened to once.

Why did you edit that out? I thought it was pretty spot on. It's annoying trying to find something rare (especially on RSD when you have to wake up at 5 am on a weekend) and realizing it's just a marketing ploy.

I remember the year everyone was losing their poo poo over the Flaming Lips Dark Side of the Moon. It was selling out everywhere and by early afternoon there were already copies on ebay for 50+ dollars. I went onto the Flaming Lips website and got it for regular retail price. Also I regularly see Record Store Day poo poo from the last three years still in stores. That pretty much sums up Record Store Day.

So I spent the last few days listening to a ton of records (from John Fahey to Neu! to Sun Ra to OMD to Alex Chilton to Wire to etc.) while setting up my new apartment and I started wondering if there's a way to actually tell if new releases and reissues are "AAA," to borrow from the old CD classification. I'm comfortable listening to a lot of formats, but I don't really see much point in buying Pro Tools records on vinyl aside from awesome packaging. Records that were recorded on tape, mixed to tape, and then cut to vinyl tend to just sound totally amazing. There are a few modern people working this way - Phil Elverum of Mount Eerie and the label PW Elverum & Sun springs to mind - and their records sound amazing, but then if I throw on a "Pro Tools" record on vinyl it doesn't even begin to compare. Aside from stunt labeling ("Analog recording made from a different vinyl master!"), is this info being logged or made available anywhere?

This is an outrageous claim that I don't think you could ever back up. A "Pro Tools" record recorded at 96k 24-bit (or higher) sounds great, and you would never in a million years be able to tell the difference. Recording to tape is great if you know what you're doing, but using vintage gear in conjunction with Pro Tools can get the same effect. Saying that a "Pro Tools" record "doesn't begin to compare" to an album recorded to tape original is just completely outrageous. Tons of albums are recorded digitally and mastered to tape, or mixed on vintage outboard gear and bounced back into PT, etc. I'm a huge vinyl nerd, and a snob about a lot of audio poo poo, but I would never in a million years claim that "Pro Tools records" sound worse than something recorded to tape. Do you have many White Stripes albums? Without looking it up, can you tell me which ones sound good to you and which ones sound bad?

And by that I mean, when I listen to my copy of White Blood Cells, the Pro Tools noise is so deafeningly loud that I can't make out the vocals over all the digital artifacts The first three albums were recorded to tape, but I guess analog mastering for the vinyl record was too expensive for them at the time so it was transfered to digital. The recent reissues were made to correct this because it was always Jack White's intention to have those released as all analog. The previous issues weren't completely terrible(before getting the new versions I got the V2 reissues which I'm assuming is what most people had),but the Third Man reissues blow them out of the water. I'm not about to say that all digitally mastered records are crap but I can say that a lot the best stuff I've heard is all analog. But to your credit, the Doors reissue box sounds great and they had to transfer the original tapes to digital because they were afraid to handle them too much. I think it honestly depends less on the analog/digital source and more on how much the people doing it gave a poo poo and if they used original source recordings.

Yup, this is it right here. A dumbass on a reel to reel can make tape sound like poo poo, and Eddie Kramer is using Burl A/D's because they sound amazing. It has NOTHING to do with the source or the format. It's great to love vinyl, but if you think it sounds lovely if music ever touched the digital realm, you're out of your mind. Just to put this in perspective, please realize that 192k (which is what a lot of studios record at) is WAY out of the realm of human hearing. You could make dozens and dozens of edits, bounce it down, etc and it would still be at a sample rate beyond what a human can hear. If you record to tape and then bounce to Pro Tools, which is again, what a lot of studio do, there is absolutely NO WAY a human could ever even know that it was digital or analog at that sample rate. So in summary, please tell me what "Pro Tools" albums sound like poo poo to you. I'm dying to know. And on a total side note, I think I'm finally starting to DJ with Serato. I've been a vinyl collector since I was a little kid, I've always prided myself on DJing with only vinyl, but I'm finally understanding the benefits of DJing with a digital setup. Today I carried home a Serato setup in one arm, and 2 packages of records in the mail in the other. I'm finally selling out!

The Mars Volta - Noctourniquet is available for pre-order. Double vinyl - one blue, one orange, 3D inner sleeves (with 3D glasses), and poster. No digital download though, kind of odd. Link: http://hellomerch.com/sh/index.php?...uemart&Itemid=2 Hopefully this doesn't arrive warped. I have had back luck recently. Portugal. The Man's Satanic Satanist arrived with a slight warp from Amazon, exchanged it, and got another warped one. Ben Harper - Welcome to the Cruel Word and The Allman Brother's Band - Live at the Fillmore East that I ordered from Best Buy last week came warped, too.

Speaking of the Drive OST is Mondo planning only to release the Tyler Stout cover pressing or does anyone think there will be another 'normal' release that looks like the Invada release. I frankly don't care for Tyler Stout and I don't want to fight to get a copy of that version but I'd also prefer not to import the record if I can avoid it. Also anyone have a clue when the SYMMETRY vinyl US release might be? I keep checking the site hoping to snag it, and again not have to import it. I just bought the MIKE 004 & PARTY BROS debut 12" bundle. I might just go ahead and preorder the British release since IDIB stuff pretty much always sells out rather quickly.

Mondo is a pretty terrible company. All they sell is a bunch of over priced hipster novelty bullshit. I'm really suprised that Drive isn't getting a regular domestic release on vinyl due to the popularity of the film and how well liked the music was. When any of that poo poo sells out, it's not even to people who want whatever the item is. It's to dipshits on ebay who sell it for at least triple what they paid. Mondo can shove their Drive soundtrack record up their rear end. Honestly, with the way they market things it's probably going to be one of those records that looks really neat and sounds like total poo poo. As much as I hate paying for international shipping, I'll gladly buy the European pressing just so I can avoid participating in that other circlejerk.
