Buy the way, the position of the controls on the SL-D3 implies that the dust cover should be down while playing a record  .. but that's only Matsush*ta's opinion.

 How do you know you won't last 35 more years? I'm planning pretty hard to be around by then, my grand parents died way down in their 90s so I expect I can last another 55 years as well.And opinions differ, but I'm pretty happy with the dust cover up or down - either way.

Found a little gem in the attic this morning. Someone mentioned it earlier this week on Facebook and I remembered I had the LP once - turns out I still have it.

I have a question for members in countries other than the US.
Are US pressings of classic prog LPs more common or less common at your local record stores?

Fremer can be annoying sometimes, but he certainly has a ton of history with regard to analog gear and vinyl. He is the one who back in the early 80's fought the "vinyl is dead" movement, he is right....We all saved it and made it the future back then.
He reviews some albums here and talks vinyl for 2015......I certainly like reading his stuff more than hearing him talk, I still respect him. |

To be very honest, I only have a few CDs that have a full, big analog sound, it's a difficult thing to find on CD....I have maybe 200-300 CDs, I rarely play them anymore and much of them are just thin and clinical sounding. The only benefit is there is no surface noise in quiet passages, that's it. The Division Bell 20yr anniversary vinyl issue is cut from the original analog masters, released by Parlaphone records but not sure who pressed it, there are no liner notes, not even sure who mastered it. It has a mix that simply creates a wonderful analog magic, it makes certain parts of your brain click differently than when I play the CD. When I play TER right after the mix seems to be very comparable, not sure but I will guess TER was mastered to a 24bit file, which is perfectly fine, the mix has a wonderful analog feel/sound to it, I don't have this on CD so cannot compare.

My original copy, pressed in Germany not sure by who, issued by Island Records. It's old and well played but still displays wonderful soundscapes and a low-end to die for, a big sound for sure.

Thanks for your response. I've been trying to research the value of some of my 70s prog albums.
I've seen a lot of UK pressings listed but seldom see any US pressings for the same LP. I've noticed that King Crimson and Gentle Giant LPs have very high prices but I never find prices on the US versions.

Like anything else it depends.....Just because it was pressed in UK, Germany, Italy, Japan does not mean it has more value than the US counterpart pressing. What I find is the sound quality of those overseas pressing are better, the mastering overseas was/is pretty good. That has no $$ value, what has value is if the pressing was limited runs or something quirky or special about it. Always check discogs for a range of prices, make sure you match all the spine codes, deadwax, UPC and such info.

You'll get them, don't worry. Biggest dream is that David still got his balls on Diamond Dog, but that's a very small chance.

I dragged home no less that ten beat-up, 50+ year old records yesterday. One of the records, titled Hi-Fi Sampler, has a picture that rather vividly illustrates how the 1950s-1960s families went about methodically destroying their records: "Here, Doris, grab this one with your greasy fingers and rub it .. attagirl! Now, Chuck, let's get a couple of them piled on the floor, without jackets. That's my boy".  |

Thanks. I just started doing research because I'm considering selling off a lot of my collection. My grown children are not interested in inheriting them regardless of whether they are worth anything or not. I'm not sure where to or how best to sell them. Eighty per cent of them are from the seventies and are in excellent to near mint condition.
