By the way, I read your Doors review: even though I agree with some points, I never compared their music with fully psychedelic stuff (or Prog, to me it's clever classic rock), after all they are in Proto-Prog here Welcome to this warm thread

^ Based on the SQ and pressing of debut, I might get Don't Look Back...FridayMusic also redid that one from original analog tapes.

Crazy good sound quality, the drums and cymbals are so alive and clean. This pressing is dead quiet.....The familiar soundscapes by Tom Scholz from his guitar are stunning...simply rival my CD version by leaps and bounds. My original copy now put away for safe keeping.   "No Computers, No Synthesizers"....love it.

That must be awesome. Did you play 'Foreplay/Long Time' at full volume?

^ Instead of shopping for more vinyl, I decided to play the "Guess what is in that crate" game. And lo and behold, out came Bell Orchestre from the neighborly Canada .. must move this one into the "Stuff that I listen to" crate

Wow, that's a cool cover, how's the music like?

Another one of my recent purchases, Radio-Activity from Kraftwerk. The LP is not in very good condition, but I didn't mind since it's not one of their best albums. I really love all those Mellotron layers throughout the album and the very innovative use of electronic effects (like they always did) that seem to freely move around my head. There are some uninspired moments as well, especially when they start with vocal effects, but it was ok because my mind was already elsewhere

^ unless you already know: if you intend to play beat-up, or unknown quality records it may make sense to invest into a throw-away cartridge/needle. I always play my flea market loot first time with an AT92E (which sells for $20-something). 

^^The vinyl is in better condition than the cover thankfuly, it's easily listenable. Well, my actual cartridge costed 15€. Better compatible cartridges cost 100, but I don't think the result will be much better, so I'm saving that money for a better TT

Great music, it sure seems like Jaga Jazzist
