Vinyl

I have 3 boxes of vinyl from a retired Army sgt he gave me, he loved what I call American easy listening pop music. 99% I would never listen to, but do I plan to throw them away?? NEVER....somebody likes this music and would love to hear it spin again.
One day I will be able to do that for someone and make them smile...maybe go to a nursing home and set up my system and spin them some vinyl.
In the boxes are things like soundtracks...Sound of Music, Westside Story and many others like that.

I remember seeing something on the box, when CD's started taking over (must've been around 1990) where there was a bulldozer just dumping tons of LP's into this massive crusher. I couldn't believe my eyes.....

Jack White-Lazaretto

Side 1 = Plays from inside out. In the deadwax area there is a hologram of two angels that look like floating when the light hits it just right. Outer groove is a locked groove, obviously, of just noise music.

Side 2 = First song is a dbl groove for about the first 2 min. One track is the acoustic start, second groove is normal full band start. Both grooves lead into the remainder of the song, this is very cool. Side 2 is also a matte finish to look like 78 shellac record.
Both labels have hidden grooves playable, one at 45rpm the other at 78rpm. I believe this is the first album to have all 3 speeds on one LP.

I think that's it....watch the youtube I posted several pages back...

That is very cool...maybe the store selection will continue to grow for you. I bet there is a lot of interesting old LP's floating around your part of the world. Probably not in my country (for a lot of reasons), but I imagine that a trip to France, Italy, Germany or the UK might be great for vinyl shopping

That would be incredibly interesting for someone like me....I am starting to read where in much smaller countries vinyl is just going away, sent to the rubbish pile. And we are talking about music that was never converted to digital so the music will just vanish, never to be heard again by anyone.

^ The joys of recording in 1970....I love that part of analog recordings, the noises that get picked up in the studio.

Just adds to the pleasure of these LP's

Out-Bloody-Rageous is my fav pc by the Softs...

^ I agree....it is a good find for sure. The sound quality is pretty good considering its 1970.
Its in VG+ condition

Hit a record store yesterday, only had about 30 minutes but found a few goodies!!

Been looking for this one for awhile, tough find at stores, I got lucky!! Man the pleasure of flipping thru the bin and finding this one was like Christmas as a 5yr old



Love the BIG inside gatefold picture of the band, you can just sense the structured noodling these guys were doing in the studio!



These next two were just icing on the cake. Never had these on vinyl LP and I know they have been reissued, but I wanted to hear how good the quality is on these original issues.

I'm not a fan of his music, but I heard that the latest 'JACK WHITE' vinyl pressing is the highest selling vinyl in 20 years! Is this true? ;)

It's on the article: 23 years.
I'm not a fan too, but the other I turned on the radio and it was playing his last single and I though it was quite good: the violin solo at the end reminded me of Mahavishnu Orchestra
