Vinyl moon landed on my doorstep last week.
Waxtime vinyl quality.
If it was pressed before the 70 s the quality will likely not disappoint.
Music on vinyl puts out very collectible limited pressings with a great focus on soundtracks of very high quality too.
Even if you don t obsess over the nuances of sound reproduction and records are more of a passing hobby knowing the importance of vinyl composition and manufacturing.
If you buy records in 2015 odds are you ve been tempted by low cost reissues on the wax time label.
Electric warrior on the original fly label with porky and pecko duck in the deadwax truly rocks.
Unauthorized vinyl giving quality album reissues a bad rap.
I cannot speak to waxtime releases from several years ago but i can address the quality of those released during the past couple of years.
Records that predate the 1970 s are generally a safe bet.
Unfortunately it also comes with a dose of bad news.
There is a limited vinyl 12 that came out for record day with 3 or 4 versions of get it on accoustic electric and a boogie version.
Launched on kickstarter in may the project from the burning ear writer founder brandon bogajewicz licenses music from a variety of emerging artists stamps them onto a vinyl mixtape and packages it all together with original artwork once a month for delivery to a growing subscription community.
There was more than enough speculation about the.
Original or reissue.
That s great news obviously.
Vinyl was the only music format available so record labels competed for consumer dollars.
The nations largest record manufacturer united record pressing announced an increase in capacity thanks to the resurgence in demand for vinyl bearing this in mind it s a great time to discuss what makes a quality record.
As vinyl enjoys such a strong resurgence there are more great records on the market than anytime over the past 30 plus years.
These are found at places like half price books and usually cost under 15.
The low cost is due to the fact that these are manufactured in the european union spain specifically.
Yup old ideas on vinyl sounds remarkably better than the cd that came with it.
Sometimes it is possible to find them quite cheaply.
There are lots of little gems to be found often in the most unlikely of places.
