who here buys vinyl?

Stone Birds · 07-10-2010, 02:26 PM

currently no, but in the future i'm gonna think about it but probably more for the effect like if i were to record a guitar track on a 7inch and then i'd remix it into a final mix.

lately I've been downloading mostly digital versions of vinyl rips. so long as it's a quality rip, the sound is usually quite superior.

16 bit 44.1khz kills most of the vinyl sound.
But you do run into some nice rips.
Often the mastering has been done differently for the vinyl version, less limiting, less accent on higher tones. It usually makes for a relaxed listen.
Still I get the idea most of the vinyl rips are done from cheap ass USB turntables and budget technics, pioneers with stock cartridges. It's nice people take the effort, but in that case my CD player is just better.

A few of them I don't recognize

Todd Rundgren
Jackson Browne
Paul McCartney & Wings - Band on The Run
Rod Stewart
Bruce Springsteen (& The E Street Band) - Born to Run
Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
Tres Hombres - ZZ Top
Elvis Presely - Elvis Gold Records

Willie Nelson
Greetings From Asbury Park

Right:

Marshall Crenshaw
Pink Floyd - Animals

You have Seconds of Pleasure! I don't hear too many people mentioning Rockpile. They were probably one of the most underrated band from the UK. Too bad it didn't work out for them.
