Nice pickup!

I received the new live Porcupine Tree album a week or so back. (Thanks to someone in this thread for convincing me to buy it! WinkEmbarrassed) I also sniped a fairly cheap OG copy of Magma Attahk!!!!!! Only 10$ on discogs and in fairly good condition.
My PT~ Live showed up yesterday in the mailbox....finally.

^Yes it is. I thought I'd try one and see what it sounds like.
It's a 200g 2020 release with Alt mixes by S. Wilson / David Singleton & Alex Mundy.


I haven't found much other info on it so far.

Excellent........I have almost all the KC reissues from 2010-2014, all reissues with new masters approved by RFripp. I think they all sound great!

Last vinylographers question of the year.

What, if anything, do you do to address possible static concerns with your LP's before playing them?

Well it's that time of year, sometimes very cold with low humidity and then heater running that could dry out the air, especially if you are one who runs a fireplace.
I do have a Zerostat anti-static gun that works really well. The mat I have also does not hold static so that helps a lot, that's one thing is if you are using a felt type mat you might want to change it to something different. Cork mats work really well with static control........

Christmas present from my daughter......I've heard an OG of this one as well the BN75 series, this new 2023 version is sonically superior. Kevin Gray hit another homerun.

The brush (record cleaner), I use to remove possible dust from every record I play, has anti-static effect as well.

You speak the truth.....Sounds awesome!! I think of the ones I have Anesthetize sounds the best, Coma Divine and C/C are pretty close and I think Coma sounds amazing. Octane Twisted has the lowest sound quality to me...

A little off topic, but out of interest I thought I'd post.
As I continue my Media Collection administration I've been checking on actual value of my CD's. I put a placeholder of $13 on each one until I ascertained a more realistic value. I'm working on Keith Emerson's solo stuff right now and have been pleasantly surprised so far as they show a value of around $60 each for some titles. But this one really surprised me.

So who says CD's don't have resell value??
  • Last Sold: 24 Sep 23
  • Lowest: CA$67.00
  • Median: CA$125.96
  • Highest: CA$184.92

Not me. I've made over 2K in the last year selling CD's on Discogs. But you have to have the offbeat discs. Can't do it selling Aerosmith, or Taylor Swift. Box sets sell well.

Here's yet another question for the vinylographers out there.
What albums have cool platter labels. Whether by colour, graphic or image which ones would make great wall art?
(there's means to this madness)

I like for instance Charisma's Small Mad Hatter label like on The Lamb UK OG:
