Today I replaced it with your recommendation with far superior sq and more tracks and coloured vinyl to boot! thanks. Prince, 1999 It was not a stuff up, one can never have too much Prince & you have an album I do not have anyway - but glad you treated yourself to this full version and love it. Interesting to know it is better SQ too I have this in my big 10 LP boxed set, but should buy the stand alone release myself, only because the boxed set is heavy and it would be easier to have this sitting on the shelf to play it. 2
Esoterica Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 I had never heard of D.D. Dumbo before. I liked the nice colour splatter, looked him up and discovered that his music is really cool and gave me a valid reason to buy this record. He’s home grown too. 4
Candyflip Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 @Dilettanteque got me into these boys last year and I just fell in love with their sound and that voice, immediately. I've picked up a few albums on vinyl since, not all, but including Finn's solo album (also excellent!). This one is also great. the veils - Sun Gangs 5

Purchased second hand from Air Raid Records. Passed through the URCM, still some crackle on early tracks but later tracks play well. Very enjoyable memory inducer. I had the non picture disc but this got a flogging at my 17th birthday party. Ahh, year 12 memories flooding back. Not sure what happened to it. 2

As I was about to post my 11 year old son saw @metal beat post and commented very favourably on the magnificent orange and yellow vinyl. He then quickly passed up and down the posts and said “Hey, it’s like SnapChat for HiFi nerds”. It’s nice to be up with technology. That's on high rotation at my place. Love it. 3

I have the soundtrack ripped from CD but not sure I am willing to spend the $$$ on the vinyl - but it is a killer (literally) TV series. 1
KRSDarwin Posted June 21, 2020 Author Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) As to sonic quality and coloured vinyl this album is proof that you can have truly great sq with beautiful coloured vinyl (and high quality album cover - but vinyl can still do with a URCM clean) my favourite album from this band Pink Floyd, Division Bell This vinyl competes with my 5.1 FLAC surround sound version.

I’m a bit disappointed with it’s condition though. It was “new” but the platter has worn through the cardboard sleeve and outer cover. Might take it back but nearest JB (who I bought it from) is 2.5 hours away. I bought it online. Won’t be doing that anymore. A few of the records I bought in that lot were slightly damaged. 1
Janjuggler Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Hi @Esoterica The Bjork album was from JB, I had to take back the original as it had a scratch from one side to the other, and scuffed++ to boot, my JB is only 45 minutes, but insisted on taking out each LP to check before purchase, which used to be common practice in the 60s and 70s and no shrink wrap. Most LP also had a proper inner sleeve, not just straight into a rough paper bag. I have gone through 200 MoFi inner sleeves this year to replace what /how the album arrived. I also purchased Minus The Bear, Void in April when JB had a 2 for $40 sale and my copy is in excellent condition,bought it online also with about 20 other LPs, what you mention is usually caused by poor handling by the couriers, just tossing the boxes about and movement in transit, it probably is weakened in the cover as well by the cutout sections. Good luck with the return JJ 4

KRSDarwin Posted June 23, 2020 Author Posted June 23, 2020 As a happy birthday wish to Ms Lauper, whose birthday it was yesterday when I played this very enjoyable album with good sq and a nice vibrant colour Cyndi Lauper, She’s So Unusual 3

Good luck with the return JJ Cheers! Out of 7 or 8 LPs from that order, besides the MTB record, one of the covers has a fairly badly creased corner, and there’s a few small creases overall. One record is warped too. It’s probably the nature of vinyl, and I have literally no stores within an hour that sell vinyl, hence most bought is online, but it’s not worth the gamble. With this lot I’d have to arrange my nearest JB to have the ones that I want replaced. Anyway ... #firstworldproblems 1
Janjuggler Posted June 24, 2020 Posted June 24, 2020 Hi @Esoterica It's always a bit of a gamble when buying online, from condition of LP, to packaging and then handling, earlier this morning played Mark Lanegan, Blues Funeral on dark green vinyl JJ 5
KRSDarwin Posted June 24, 2020 Author Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) An Australian artist I really enjoy, but singing and recorded in the USA. A more stripped back sound but enjoyable and with some songs not on the studio album. A reasonably long meandering tooth story on record 2 but all good fun and am happy with my purchase.
