Then if it looks acceptable I move on to playing it in the shop. I have been burned too many times by some invisible defect. I also check discogs to see if the price is in line.

Boinks posted:I just walked into my Goodwill and there was an Original Master Recording Dark Side Of The Moon just sitting in front inside of the first record crate. Well, it didn't clean up like I hoped. It's pretty crackly throughout, but still enjoyable. I get to hear what the MFSL version sounds like for only a buck

70s prog rock is most authentic with crackles and noise hell, most of the Gabriel era genesis albums have such a wild tape noise floor that it sounds like they recording his vocals with a box fan running in the booth all part of the charm

I did use a vacuum but still have to try to let the solution soak a bit and see if it gets more dust out. I might take you up on that though cause I'm curious about the ultra sonic cleaner.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:70s prog rock is most authentic with crackles and noise The recording level is so low on the Peace sections of In the Wake of Poseidon that I hear more crackle that lyrics at the start. I was reading about the Birotron and it suggested that one of the Mellotron's faults were tape limitations and those created extra noise on recordings. Dunno how true that was. The Birotron had longer tapes - it used 8-tracks - and was gonig to be much better in that regard. Oops. Also read that Steve Howe pranked Rick Wakeman by taking out his Birotron tapes and put random albums in the 8-track slots instead.

It's like night and day after a 2nd cleaning. The stuff must have really been stuck in there. What would happen if I snorted this??

Excited as hell for this double lp of stop making sense. Between that and the full koyaanisqatsi getting released those are like... my big wants all taken care of. And a friend got us both tickets for the IMAX remaster and I am excited as hell. Maybe, god willing, enough time has passed and enough money might be made that they put aside their differences and some magic may happen. Pipe dreams but you never know

If anyone was waiting for a copy that wasn't a gajillion dollar box set:  EDIT: Oh nice, Rubellan Remasters are reissuing Suburban Lawns' Baby EP early next year. It's got a couple clunkers, but the title track loving rips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kDqkOTvJzg caligulamprey fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Sep 24, 2023 |
