Wasn't the decca Snow Goose label appalling???
Charisma always the best for me and the early virgin and vertigo.
Great post BTW ------------- ...As I venture through the slipstream, between the viaducts in your dreams...[/COLOR] |

Said it before, if analog, mechanical discs were still the major format nowadays, I really hope we would have found a much better plastic than "vinyl" (strictly vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer) by now - I'm ready to go with some patents. Vinyl scratches too easily, suffers styllus wear, warps at the wrong temperature or if stored wrongly (called by polymer scientists "creep"), too easy to press up wrongly (and the record companies were recycling vinyl long before most other plastics got recycled, but alas a lot of that vinyl was contaminated), holes punched non-centrally, abrasive wear from paper or card sleeves, additive transfer from polymer sleeves, etc. . Of course to hear vinyl without clicks, pops, and other surface noise you need an expensive turntable/arm/styllus combination, and above average pressing of an LP with no more than 15 minutes aside, to have a full audible frequency range pressed mechanically into the disc. ------------- The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

| tube amps and vinyl made the warmest, most realistic sound though. wood floors, feather stuffed couches, bricked walls with roll out windows and linen draperies, it just seems that it all went together so well in retrospect. |

Not a very good photo, but nevermind. My vinyl copy of Queen's A Day at the Races has this nice-looking label on side two: EDIT: Here are two more fine lables in my vinyl collection. They look weird because they're shot at an angle, it was the only way I could avoid flash reflections on the labels. Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak:  Harmonium's self-titled debut (the text got a little weird in this pic as I accidentally moved my hand a bit when I shot it). I like the simplicity of this one:  |

Missed a really good one. the Strange and beautiful music label. I think its a division of ascap but for the life of me I can't remember what albums are on it. Im going through some now but can't find any :( Btw, what's so interesting or good about those phillips and atlantic record labels? They are pretty mundane and humdrum if ya ask me. ------------- This space intentionally left blank |
