Got the recent Tool album for a great price, still sealed. This is the 3-LP version, not the original 5-LP 1-sided version set.

Good, that's almost 400g plastic less. Thumbs Up

And a couple more LPs for David:

Yes - Fragile (Atlantic, 1979 NL)

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (Chrysalis, 1982 US)

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

A new vinyl ordered to David:

Happy the Man's debut, Arista 1977 US, NM/NM Tongue

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

A friend gifted me Rick Astley's "Whenever You Need Somebody" as a joke gift. It's a type a great record. I'll probably end up getting a copy of Red's 50th anniversary edition eventually. Great album.

I had decided to stop buying LP's but then this offer appeared...so, off the wagon I go.

Got this lot for $100 CND cash (<$5ea.)
The two Byrds LP's are still sealed and most others appear VG+ or better.
But listening will tell.

Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Once again, NOT vinyl LP's, but CD's. Something I actually rarely buy. But for some reason I've done it twice in the last week or two.
One another note I DO have a pile of new (used) LP's on their way. So stand by.

In the mean time...

Extremely happy to have this seminal recording by Sonny Rollins from BlueNote Records as a TonePoet version. The first ever live recording at the Village Vanguard in NYC in 1957 as well Sonny's first live record.

The interesting bit on this recording is Rudy Van Gelder recorded at 7.5ips due to this being a live session, he did not bring his traditional studio deck that could record at 15ips, physically not possible. He then went back to his studio and transferred the session to 15ips tape and this is what was always used to create the original LP release and subsequent CDs and other LP issues. Until this one, which is cut from the original 7.5ips master tapes, the only time these were played before was the original transfer.

Comparing to a CD version I have, this version has so much presence and additional detail/resolution the soundstage is so real its kinda spooky. Kevin Gray cut the lacquers, all analog no EQ or compression added to Rudy's original recording. The included booklet is great too with tons of info, photos and an interview of Sonny Rollins by Don Was from last year.

^ The deluxe release of Pictures is one of the best ever. Love that live version of Knife Edge but the whole of that Lyceum gig was ELP at their best.

Couple adds to the collection today....Shopping at Hi-Voltage in Tacoma. Opeth is new 20th Anniversary release. The others are OG in NM condition.......

I have the new 20th Anniversary Opeth record. Sounds quite amazing! Clap

I've spun it several times, your correct it sounds amazing. The lacquer cutter is Jasper who has cut some other recent prog releases, he cut PT-C/C Live which is pretty darn nice sounding for a live recording.
