I know this will get fewer posts, but I thought we should have a topic post
for the small collective of vinyl geeks out there.(including me!) So, just post
which 33 1/3 you're listening to, right here!
I'm listening to the LP of Tarkus, by ELP.

Sadly all that's on my turntable at the moment is dust - it's up in my loft.

I gave my turntable to my dad some years ago so he could listen to his Herb Alpert and Frank Sinatra stuff. My record collection, which was fairly significant mix of progressive, fusion, jazz and rock; got caught in Hurricane Floyd back in the 90's. Every single cover and insert was soaked. I tried to salvage what I could, but gave up. It was too far gone. Boxes, upon boxes, upon boxes, of albums had to be dumped. To this day I still can't find Jimi's War Heroes on CD. I'm sure there are others I never found also. Maybe they just slipped away from my memory as time and interests changed.

All this though, is a long winded way to say that vinyl was cool! I grew up with vinyl. I remember some of my first album purchases at 9 and 10 years old costing $1.99 at Disc-O-Mat Records or Korvettes or Harmony Records. Tony Williams album Believe It was a mind-blower. The album has Tony on the cover holding a pair of very thick drum sticks and the insert was a profile shot of Tony at the Gretsch drums amidst a smoke filled background. Man I stared at that album and insert incessantly. I listened over and over again to that album and never grew tired of it. In later years, when it became fashionable to put out gatefolds - albums that opened up - it was sort of like achieving Nirvana. Especially if it was a live album with concert shots or verbiage of gratitude that extended from family, friends and co-workers, right on to the companies they endorsed.

Anyway, I'm 46 years old now and the cd purchase for me has never been close to the joy I experienced in opening an album and carefully placing that vinyl on the turntable and sitting down to listen. You were somhow transported away. Maybe because of the stationary place the turn table had to be used in. Nowadays with digital music and cd's you can just move through life and the listening experience becomes background to everything else you have going on at the moment. Like maybe driving your car?

 I don't know, but the fact that you needed electricity and you couldn't jolt the turntable, produced a time and space that was somehow wholesome. You actually devoted some time to sitting down with friends and listening. Sometimes we even prepared our minds beforehand to really enhance the listening experience. And sometimes, to albums like Pink Floyd's Animals...it was mandatory!

 Nonetheless, it kept us off the streets and we communicated and grew in our listening tastes, likes and dislikes. So, long story ending...Thank God I was around for vinyl. For those of you that missed it, I feel a bit of sadness for you. But, relax, I'm certain the cd experience means even that much more to you. So maybe, round and round, as it goes, we all get our turn.

Thanks for reading.

I spent £4300 on a turntable/arm/cartridge in 1998 and I can't listen to CDs unless the music isn't on vinyl. I don't feel the need to replace my 800 records wirh CDs and I can't afford it anyway.

Latest listen - Muse - Absolution. Very good but not a masterpiece.

You really need their debut "Electronic Meditation" from 1970, organ/guitar driven psych/kraut, reminiscent of Floyds "A Saucerful of Secrets". That's way better than their later new-age stuff. I pretty much like Phaedra, but their post-Phaedra material really isn't that appealing (perhaps except for Force Majeure).

Don't you grieve, Post Atem TD, the virgin issues, aren't that difficult to get hold of, in Denmark they usually cost around 7-10$, and there's plenty of them. If we are talking about original German pressings of their first couple of records on the German Ohr label, then it get's interesting!

I do have "Electronic Meditation", albeit not on vinyl, only on cd. Interesting album it is, I won't say I like it more than their new age stuph though...

Glad that you say "only on CD" CD is SUCH an inferior format, I never buy CDs unless absolutely nescesarry.

Electronic Mediation has recenlty been reissued on 180g quality vinyl, you can get it new for 13€ https://www.freakemporium.com/site/release/TACD079/releasepage.html - Here , I strongly advise you to get your CD replaced. The original Ohr pressing has the value of (according to "Cosmic Price Guide to original Krautrock records 2006, 2nd ed.") 140€!

Now playing:

First Pressing on black/white virgin label, just found it today, FANTASTIC music.

Really?! I have an original copy of Electronic Meditations on vinyl - I'll have to check and see if it is an Ohr pressing.

Currently have close to 1000 progressive rock LP's, many of them imports (European and Japanese)

Still play them too!

Lucky you, I've been collecting for 2 years and nearing 300 pieces of vinyl.    

Well, according to this book

the mint value of "Electronic Meditation" should be 140€, but I've personally never really seen it for sale, but I've done a quick research on my own:   

http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=electronic+meditation&thumbs - http://www.popsike.com/php/quicksearch.php?searchtext=electr onic+meditation&thumbs =

(Only the second is a first pressing!)

There you see what it's been sold for on online auctions, a m- goes for around 72€, but it's just one case (which also tells about it's rarity), I'm sure under the right circomstances the record could be sold for much more if it's in perfect condition, a vg+, which is a very normal condition for a 30+ year old record taken normally good care of, cuts the value in half!   

The catalouge nr. of the first pressing must be: "Ohr OMM 56004" and not "Ohr OMM 556004" that's a second pressing! If "Pop-Import" is printed on cover, it's a reissue. And if it includes an Ohr promotion balloon, add 150€ to the value.

Well, hope I hope for you, that you have a first pressing, it's always nice to own rare first pressings.

 

Now playing:

A light layer of dust.  I don't seem to use the thing much these days.  I've transferred my hard-to-find records onto CD, and mostly use it to transfer any new discs I come across.

It's great looking at and handling the large album jackets.  Probably the best combination is listening to a favorite album on CD, while looking at the record jacket from the same album, for full effect.  You just can't get the same effect from CD versions of say, The Lamb, Living in the Past, Stand Up, etc.

Hell Preachers Inc. - Supreme Psychedelic Underground (1968)

Great european psych, played by anonymous musicians under the name "Hell Preachers Inc." Rumour has it that this actually is a early incarnation of Deep Purple and many people seem very sure that it is, but a friend of mine is sure that Blackmore in 1968 played much better guitar than the guy on this album...

I bought this vinyl back when he joined Kansas just because I wanted to see what he sounded like apart from Dixie Dregs.  Not really my kind of music - very 'guitar-god-showing-off' type stuff, but damn, the guy can play!  Lots of sounds here - country, fusion, prog (sort of),...

First pressing of this Kraut classic. It's said to be one of the first "rock" albums in history to include the big moog, which Fricke, according to rumour, sold to Klaus Schulze after some sort of Christian revelation whereafter he wasn't interested in electronic music, and then switched to piano.

Humble Pie - Town and Country (1969)
Original UK pressing on Immediate.
 
Just picked it up today, got it really cheap, a mint copy changes hands for approx. 50-70£, got mine for what is equivalent to 7£, vinyl is great vg++ to ex-, but the cover has seen better days. Great blues-orientated psychedelic hard rock.

Humble Pie - Humble Pie (1970)

Just picked it up today, original UK pressing, listening to it for the first time, Hard/Blues rock with few progressive as well as folk influences, very good actually.       

 
I also have that one. The first track (Live with me?) is wonderful, but the songs with American folk music influences didn't please me that much. Good album still! Smile The artist mentioned in the previous answer was a famous art noveau artists. Does anybody remember his name?

...although obviously not all 3 of them... I've been mostly listening to the Pink Fairies and Gong sides. The above is my old copy that I've since flogged on eBay, and upgraded for a nice, uncreased copy with all the inserts and the plastic bag.

Mmmm.

They knew how to package vinyl in those days.

Atlantis - It's Getting Better (1973) 
German prog-like music with few funk and soul tendencies, and best of all: the AMAZING voice of Inga Rumpf.

      Hey, man!
     
      I just bought a new vinyl: Metamorfosi´s Inferno for a reasonable price of 25 euros!
      A new italian pressing with a gatefol sleeve! What a mighty sounding record on vinyl,
      as good, maybe better than CD version. For about five years I´ve been waiting to get
      these classic  italian prog masterpieces on vinyl!  Hope those often lazy italians  release
      another classic: Museo Rosenbach´s Zarathustra.Clap
    
      Few days earlier I got a real classic rock record also on vinyl (German ri):
      West, Bruce  & Laing´s Why Dontcha. What a mighty record from those mighty men;
      Leslie West and Jack Bruce and Corgy Laing create a gigantic sound, so tence and heavy
      than few bands could match them in those glory days, Hendrix, Colosseum...
      Feel the most passionate blues-rock: "Pleasure", dark and hauntingly beautiful "Pollution Woman"
      There is no single weak song on this masterful record, both West and Bruce and on one track
      Lain sing like men. Surely one of those most underrated classics of all time.Big smile
