What is your number one tip for sellers?
Grade conservatively. Customers love opening up their packages and finding out that the record is in better shape than you listed!
What is your number two tip for sellers?
Use better vinyl packaging.
For instance: LAX oversized with corrugated cardboard and corners protected
I started in the seventies with buying records and cutouts especially, and haven't stopped since! At that time I liked cutouts a lot, because they were new and sealed (untouched, like a virgin...), although unfortunately for me not priced $1.99 or $3.99 over here in Amsterdam! I had to pay slightly more in guldens (Dutch guilders)....

August 2023: maynardewm You have since upgraded your turntable setup as you now use Rega P10 with Apheta 3 cartridge. It would only be fair and just if you either delete your old reviews or really update them as you wrote down these clearly...

Makes no sense to reissue this without the one song that is missing from J.J. Cale - Number 10 (1992) "Digital Blues"
|
|
One of the best recordings ever made in the Soundpush studios in Blaricum. Great sounds to spoil your HiFi.
|
|
Can I get one in Europe please? Any tips welcome.

Such an incredible album, also Chris could use the complete Stevie Wonder band and Tonto.
It never got a US release though. |
|
I agree with Liquidinvasion about the sleeve. The GZ sleeve is sturdier than the original sleeve. And Chris Bellman did a very nice job for Rhino. Some people consider this the best album ever made. And the cosmic coloured vinyl in this particular...

The original retail price in july 2022 was rather rich, even for Universal standards. So I was quite surprised to find out that Universal suddenly in May 2023 decided to put this version on sale for € 26,99 (Dutch retail price). I know that people had...

Why to go through all the effort recording mixing mastering (by Bernie) plating by RTI and then go to United to press this? Excellent album again by Boz by the way!
|
|
It is only the title track B1 'Moon Rappin'' that is affected and it is on the master tape.

Excellent label Farfalla and great pressing from Record Industry Haarlem.
|
|
RamblenRamon Is this version with or without "the flock of wah wahs" at the end of 'Life's Been Good'?
|

to each his own mikeSF, to others TODD = GOD, at least in the seventies

|
PimpdaddyG .....only pathetic if you actually buy it at flipper prices... |
|
Rhino/Scorpio releases are essentially cd's with some tweaks. And one more thing, even though the releases are legit, I know that the actual deal made back then in the cd-age, when companies abandoned the vinyl-format, is still shady and the releases...

Why on earth are you comparing this to a shitty Scorpio/Rhino release? (It is legitimate but not endorsed by any company at the time, the deal is still shady.)

|
cjp345 Agreed, Dean Rudland (BGP), Frank Merritt and GZ Media Lodeniçe did a great job! See full review |
|
[quote=Slave2theNeedle] See a lot of complaining about the sound level and the surface noise. Not sure if I just got a stellar copy because compared to my OG Westbound and Down copy this sounds exceptionally better. Mine has zero surface noise and...

One of the best pop albums ever to come out of the Netherlands. It really is....
To enjoy it properly I would suggest you look for the 2019 vinyl edition. |

I love the album and of course Etta's vocal delivery but in particular the string arrangements from Riley Hampton are rather pedestrian. All in my opinion of course.

For all the criticism Rainbo got during their tenure as pressing facility this pressing was proof they could really deliver a quality product. And do not forget that a lot of companies/artists Rainbo pressed for never requested/listened to test pressings.

So please people do not buy this sealed if you want the excellent analogue version, unless the seller can vouch for having this in his inventory before the DIGITAL David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars from 2020. The 2012 reissue and the 2016 repress both are analogue.

Only reviews about the colours of the various vinyl releases?
Wow, such a wonderful album! |
|
Agreed, I really like this version and also the top end. Not bright to me...

This was confirmed by Joe Harley (the one and only Tone Poet) on the Steve Hoffman forum: "It's there and it's most likely a tape issue ....likely that something had to be flown in for those few minutes. It happens with these old tapes."

As much as I admire Chad Kassem and his battle against audiophile obesitas (approximately 9 minutes per side means you have to get up all the time from your lazy chair in the sweet spot) I would love a 33 rpm version from AP.

It is not a downright bad reissue but as is the case for most Friday Music vinyl releases: not worth the extra money. If you can find a original US pressing in good clean condition you are set. And why the gatefold and ugly modification of the...

This cd-only compilation is LOUD, as in unable-to-crank-it-up-on-a-decent-set.
While I normally don't look for dynamic range measurement as the only criterion for sound quality in this case I looked it... See full review |
