I've had alot of issues with MOV pressings. This bought from just under 2 years was full of crackle and gunk. Calmed it right down with several washes but the compound and pigments left dirty. Anyway Time for Chillout Chicane - Far From The Maddening Crowds #vinyl #NowPlaying #NowSpinning

This finally turned up after paying for it on the 1st June. 1 of the masters that burned down in the UMG fire in 2007 so it's from digital masters and Cut by Levi at Blackbelt and pressed at RTI to 3 sides instead of the old 4 and 5 bonus tracks. Audioslave - Out Of Exile #vinyl #NowPlaying

Didn't put this away and thought why not only to discover an inexcusable amount of paper dust so it's just drying before I play for only it's 2nd time. INXS - Kick (Analogue Productions 2x45rpm) #vinyl #NowPlaying #NowSpinning #vinylcommunity

The first EP got reissued on thick grooves for 33rpm. The biggest problem with the first album is it's too compressed. Gorillaz - Tomorrow Comes Today #vinyl #NowPlaying #NowSpinning #vinylcommunity

Finally got the replacement for the first side since buying it in February after I sent a snotty email to MoFi sounds so much better. Actually my favourite album of theirs as it just reminds me of being on holiday. Fleetwood Mac - Tango In The Night (MoFi 2LP 45rpm) #vinyl #NowPlaying

Bit late to the 15th Anniversary party in this one. But to be fair it's my favourite @chemicalbrothers.bsky.social album and I play it every few months. Masterclass from a new studio at the time. The Chemical Brothers - Further #vinyl #NowPlaying #NowSpinning #vinylcommunity

After the DJ set last night I had some ones that didn't quite fit the 90s. This from 2001 . I could have said it was recorded 1998 and 2000 that it counted. But still I play this enough in my other sets but it slams at home on the headphones Daft Punk - Discovery #vinyl #NowPlaying #NowSpinning

The last one to be listened to because I already have the original which was also mastered by Miles Showell before he moved to Abbey Road. So it's a interesting compare of the same guy with different tools. Less wax cut on the new version but sounds better. Underworld - Barking #vinyl #NowPlaying

3rd time lucky with this? First copy was warped and clicky. 2nd was clicky on side C. Side C on this one is fine. 2nd ones A and B are fine. If D is fine then at least I have one working copy. Usual Quality Control from GZ Canada. Angels & Airwaves - I-Empire #vinyl #NowPlaying

Checking a replacement copy. 1st copy was number 2581 this is number 0808 oddly for a "sold out" I was just expecting 29xx. It's funny being able to hear the difference in each pressing of the same issue of the same album. Angels & Airwaves - I-Empire #vinyl #NowPlaying

Having a comparison between 2 and 3LP versions of this. It's interesting with stuff that's electronic and where there is only a small difference like Space Shanty. But big difference is in Storm 3000 so far. With a massive difference in surface room Leftfield - Leftism #vinyl #NowPlaying

2 Editions of the cover. One a gatefold the other a trifold much thicker cover

Some stuff actually warrants the noise and clicks of vinyl and to have something where they've just stuck on the digital files onto a well polished heavy vinyl is just a bit wrong. Still what can you you say it's the master of the Blues imo Howlin' Wolf - The Best Of #vinyl #NowPlaying
