Vinyl - Currently Spinning


Recommended Posts



I have played quite a bit of music during lockdown 

 

But decided to present this classic album as I played it a couple of times now 

Even though it’s new, It took a few RCM cleans to get it ready to play 

 

Artist - Mike Oldfield 

Title - Tubular Bells

How did you know that it still wasn't clean enough after the first RCM clean? I thought RCM's were the bomb for cleaning records.....well, that's what I've read on stereonet.

It’s more to do with pressing quality issues 

I think it will go back to JB HiFi for a replacement

Hi All,

 

Icehouse, Man Of Colours Rerelease of Tricolour vinyl, which seems to sound good, there is no definitive problem when going between colours as there is about a one centimetre mech of colour eg: where the red and yellow meet it is orange, where the yellow and blue meet it is green, where the blue and red meet it is purple.

I've got the same Back to Black copy with the same issues as you so perhaps a refund instead of replacement

 

(and to think years ago I gave away an original pressing to a friend)

Thanks for the heads up 

So either a refund or a credit on another LP

Been picking through Air Raid Records to add to my various artists collection. Have been enjoying this one this evening. This one’s got that killer sheen on it (which I knew). Don’t hold too much hope Kirmuss can restore this one but will give it a go. 
 

All The Hits (1986)

I get a definite audible improvement in every record that I put though the URCM process. Loss of pops and crackles, lower noise floor and often increased separation.  
 

With the Kirmuss URCM you generally need at least 3 rounds with surfactant applied by goat hair brush in between each wash (so about a 25min process for 2 records).  On one great record I have I ran it though around 8 times and got improvement each time until it now sounds brilliant (original 1960 US pressing of Bill Evan’s Trio’s ‘Portrait in Jazz’). 
 

I swear by my URCM and the Kirmuss process but it is time consuming. As with many things, the more you put in the more you get out.

We are on a 3 day lockdown 

Thats music to the ears of an audiophile that likes to spin records ?

 

Now as an essential worker I still need to go to work for a limited time but the majority of my time will be home 

 

So I’m kicking it off with an appropriate album by King Crimson for the enforced lockdown 

This album is a Re Issue

 

Artist- King Crimson 

Title - Red 

Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/King-Crimson-Red/release/4703409

 

642-DC5-B9-CB03-46-B6-A9-FE-3-E1362-FC51

 

 

 

Stay safe FR.
