Re: The VINYL Thread!
Buying reissues alone gets expensive. I have mostly originals -- bought used over the years -- with some reissues peppered in. I make sure the OGs are in great condition though. Else I won't bother.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
Crappy cell phone pic, but finally managed to snag an Italian pressing of this OST. Been hunting one down for years. Managed to find a guy in Italy selling his copy.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
I'm copying and reposting this that a friend on FB posted.
Rosemary’s Baby will be available on clear 180 gram vinyl. Two very limited variants will be available: 500 randomly inserted units will be pressed onto 180 gram black and crystal clear center haze vinyl. The first 200 customers will receive a very special super variant presented in a never-before created vinyl effect: An independently double colored / sided record. SIDE A features a baby blue marble and SIDE B features a deep blood red marble. This special variant is a solid 12″ LP and weighs in at 200 grams. This record is a first of it’s kind. LP package details include audiophile-grade virgin vinyl housed in an old style heavyweight casebound tip-on gatefold jacket with satin finish and spot UV gloss. A satin finish art print featuring an extensive essay by artist Jay Shaw will be inserted into each package. Jay Shaw’s tasteful and detailed cover art marks the first time Rosemary’s Baby artwork has been studio-approved since Stephen Frankfurt’s iconic 1968 film poster for the film. Side A 1. Main Title 2. Furnishing The Apartment 3. Chanting 4. Dream 5. Lullaby 6. The Pain 7. How To Prepare A Good Steak / The Ear 8. Holiday Music 9. After The Call To Hutch 10. Good Appetite 11. Lullaby / Crib Sequence Side B 12. Scrabble 13. Book About Witchcraft 14. The Horrible Doctor 15. The Fragrance 16. The Horrible Doctor #2 17. The Short Dream 18. Iron Bars/ Elevator Lift/ Dr. Sapirsteih And Syringe 19. Path To The Pit Of Evil #1 20. Path To The Pit Of Evil #2 & #3 21. What Have You Done? https://scontent-b-mia.xx.fbcdn.net/...71555969_n.jpg |

The recent re-lease of Ziggy on vinyl has the 5.1 SACD mix included. Or is it DVD-Audio? Can't recall.
Currently on a big Bowie kick, and trying to replace all the vinyl of him I used to have, but lost to ex. His albums are hard to find around here, and I hate buying used without being able to personally inspect the condition of the record. I'm actually quite surprised more of his albums haven't been re-released on vinyl. Since it seemed like it was a better (and cheaper) deal to pick of this version (with the bonus DVD-A), than some of the other pressings I saw up for auction online, this was the one I went with. |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
I got the Green Earthling release a few weeks back. Can't recall if I posted that or not. Never heard the album before and really like it. But yes we need more Bowie reissues. Can't believe Aladdin Sane didn't get a vinyl reissue alongside the CD this year.

Curious - have you picked up any of the other Music On Vinyl pressings of STP? They are reportedly pretty terrific sounding, but I've opted out on them so far due to funds being limited of late. I also find it interesting that after years of not re-releasing them, suddenly Rhino in the US is putting out STP albums, now that MOV's have proven such popular sellers. Rhino re-released Purple with almost no fanfare about a month ago, and also just did a limited edition Black Friday Record Store Day release of Core, on "yellow" vinyl, this past Friday. |

I think the last, more recent, album of his I really liked was Heathen. I pretty much need everything from Space Oddity (which is still available as a reissue), all the way up through Scary Monsters again. I'd settle for being able to find Hunky Dory, The Man Who Sold The World, Aladdin Sane and Diamond Dogs, at least, though. |
Re: The VINYL Thread!
Recently purchased an Audio Technica LP120 and slowly building up my collection. Been hitting up a shop I found on the weekends where there's a decent selection of used vinyl. Picked up around 8 last weekend and 2 of them skip pretty bad. Should this be expected? If not I was thinking about returning them. Thing is, the 2 that skip were priced at $9 and they have a $1 section where I picked up around 5 of them that didnt skip at all.

In fact, I've got quite a decent collection of Bowie on vinyl. Promo pressing of Hunky Dory, MFSL of Ziggy, Young Americans with textured cover, Station to Station from the giant box set reissue, original pressings of Low, Stage, Scary Monsters, and Let's Dance, and The Next Day. I also have some 12" singles, including one from Scary Monsters that comes with a set of stamps. |

Buy a record brush and/or cleaner. Sometimes you can't tell from a visual inspection, so I wouldn't accuse the store of trying to rip you off.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
I played side 4 of the RSD IN Utero and it had a small bubble in the pressing which caused a skip for about 10 seconds. It happens. I can't find my receipt or I might try and return it. I know that's hit or miss. They took back a noisy Chinese bootleg of a Stone Roses album and gave me store credit. Man that thing sounded like shit. It was early in my collecting and I thought I was getting the recent re-release.

If you keep it open - that problem goes away. I'm not sure that's what you're experiencing, but I thought I'd share. |

That's the same turntable that I own. One thing that I've noticed: if you have the dustcover closed, quite a few albums will skip at the end, because the counterweight bumps up against the dustcover.

I purposefully angled the light's reflection over the lamp on the cover. :)
