recent vinyl acquisitions the thread

[panoramic]

I just bought an original issue copy of X-Los Angeles on my trip to Los Angeles. The record and sleeve are in excellent shape. It was my souvenir for the trip.

such a great record.

Finally scored a 2LP green/orange splatter copy of The Kinks "Villiage Green" at a reasonable price. Sounds as fantastic as it looks.

Popped into Fopp yesterday. They had Something Else & Face to Face in the sale. The 2nd & 3rd best kinks albums on 180g for £32. Thank you v much

Those 3 LPs are the absolute zenith of both Ray Davies's songwriting and the Kinks' recording career. I have a soft spot for Arthur, but outside of those three their albums are patchy affairs, albeit including some utterly amazing songs.

I saw many of Bobby and co's earliest Glasgow gigs, bought the first two Creation singles, taped the Peel sessions and almost wore the cassette out....and couldn't believe how shite Sonic Flower Groove was. It's been a long wait, but this is the LP I always wanted to hear from that earliest incarnation of Primal Scream.

Received the new Lush reissues for Spooky, Split & Lovelife. Only listened to Spooky so far but it sounds kind of harsh on first listen. Put on my original copy to compare 'For Love' & the new version definitely lacks "body". The original sounds fuller. The guitars & bass are more defined if that's what they were going for.

The new version definitely feels like they pushed the dbs up to the edge of distorting when I’m streaming at cd quality. The original is definitely softer sounding to my ears.

Have you got the clear vinyl? That might also be part of it. I’ve got a few albums on clear that are super noisy or just sound off.

Yes on the clear vinyl. Didn't think it would make a difference. I listened to Split today & it's not as bad. More low/mid tones. Some of the distorted guitar parts were very defined. Didn't get a chance to throw on the original to compare, but some songs sounded nice & some odd.
