Vinyl got brought up today in Music Theory, and my teacher disagrees with the statement that vinyl sounds better than than CD/digital. I have no personal standpoint on this, because I have vinyl, but haven't had a working record player set up in a while.

I don't think I can form a solid opinion on this because I haven't compared quality for all of my albums, but I have to say when I put on Opeth's My Arms, Your Hearse for the first time, it sounded a thousand times better than I ever remembered it.

EDIT: Oh.  My.  God.  I just opened my Act III vinyl, and its WHITE.  I had no idea.  AWESOME.

Apparently 14 hour work days + drinking lots of wine impairs my reading skills.  I blame the Roman Numeral system.  I's and II's look way too much like III's for my taste.  Damn Romans.

Mah Collection:
67.   Rush                     Rush                                                                  1974

All of them First editions except for the Rolling Stones one

Where'd you land a first edition of that?!?!  Isn't that worth like a ridiculous amount of money?

I've got one of those (Rush Moon 100s). The run anywhere from $350 to $700.


There are also Red labels that are likely more rare than the Moon pressings, but not too many people know about those (I've got a few of those too.). Those were the transition Mercury pressings between the Moon and Buildings and Trees label Mercury pressings.

Man, you guys would just cry if you saw my vinyl.  Everything by Zeppelin, original covers with all the fold-outs and inserts; I even saved the little stickers they put on the shrink wrap and keep them in the sleeves.  All Queen studio albums.  Every Yes album up through 90125.  The first six Kansas albums, the first 11 Chicago albums, most of The Beatles.

Sorry, had to brag.  What's the point in having a sweet collection if you can't wave it in people's faces once in a while?

the cool thing was that I found that record on some outdoor market with second hand stuff.
I looked at the thing and was like: AAAAAAAAAAAARRGGHH!!!!!
and then bought it for like 5 bucks.

Just got my new record player.  My old one had tons of pitch problems, and half the time, the right speaker would drone horribly.  Just a few days ago, it went from half the time to all of the time.  Blasting Escape right now.  Journey gets a bad rap sometimes.  Great band.

Journey is good stuff.  The earlier stuff was more adventurous musically, but I have to admit that the Perry-era stuff was always well-produced and sounds awesome.  A lot of talent in that band, so even if most of it was radio-friendly pop, it was damned good radio-friendly pop.

I grew up with dad's vinyl collection as my main source of music, it has shaped my music taste since day one. I took over them when he passed away, but I don't have a record player to play them on (his was broken during the later years). I have most of them on CD nowadays, but it would be cool to be able to dust them off and play them again - like in the old days. My younger brother has shown interest in getting a record player and start to collect some good old classic albums (60s and 70s), hopefully that can be a hobby we can share together.

My LP collection includes such albums as:

Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
The Who - Odds & Sods, My Generation
Rolling Stones - Dirty Work, Steel Wheels, some hits collection
Status Quo - Quo, Piledriver, Blue For You, On The Level

And lots of singles/EPs, mainly from The Beatles. That's where my Beatlemania came from.
Zydar is my new hero.  I just laughed so hard I nearly shat.

I've got that Awake album  (and some other Dream Theater vinyl) myself.

There isn't much in the way of Rush vinyl I don't have. But one obvious piece I'm missing is the first single from 1973.

I've got that Red Sector A 10" as well.

I have a ton of Marillion vinyl too.

Man, you guys would just cry if you saw my vinyl.  Everything by Zeppelin, original covers with all the fold-outs and inserts; I even saved the little stickers they put on the shrink wrap and keep them in the sleeves.  All Queen studio albums.  Every Yes album up through 90125.  The first six Kansas albums, the first 11 Chicago albums, most of The Beatles.

Sorry, had to brag.  What's the point in having a sweet collection if you can't wave it in people's faces once in a while?

Orbert, I read somewhere that Jimmy Page had the phrase "Do What Thou Wilt" (Aleister Crowley-ism) inscribed into the vinyl (next to the circular label) on the 1st pressing of Led Zeppelin III.   I fished out my old copy (purchased sometime between 1973-75), shone it under a lamp and sure enough, there it was!   :hat

Crying right now. I only have their stuff through to Chicago V, excluding the massive live album. I'll continue getting the next albums next week when I can.

The massive live album, Chicago at Carnegie Hall was the first record album I ever owned.

In 1975, I was in junior high and it was time to start acquiring my own music.  One of my friends and I were listening to the radio, it was a song by Chicago and I told him I thought they were pretty cool, with the horns and stuff.  He said his sister had bought their live album but didn't like it.  She tried to sell it to him for five dollars, but he didn't have the funds.  I gave him a fiver on the spot and told him to go talk to her for me.  I had a newspaper route that netted me $20 a week.  I don't think any of my friends had jobs yet.

Anyway, I got the original box with all four records and the huge picture book for five bucks.  There were two posters that came in the box too, but those weren't included as they were already on her bedroom walls.  But that was the start of my vinyl collection.  Original Chicago was jazzy, bluesy, and almost prog-like with their extended instrumentals and nonstandard arrangements.  I listened to that album non-stop for weeks.  Then I picked up Chicago V and Chicago VI.

Wow!.. Well I'm glad I know a person into Chicago. They made music that sounded like an era, and whenever I put on one of their albums it's like blast to the past. It's just fuckin' cool. :D

Yeah, they don't get nearly the respect they do, because most people only know them from their hits with Pete Cetera ("If You Leave Me Now" and "25 or 6 to 4").  As with so many bands, the hits do not even hint at the goodness on the albums.  The first five albums are all incredible, and really, every album with Terry Kath is at least good, though I'll admit things got shaky later as Cetera's star was starting to rise and Lamm had run out of songs.

Agreed. So I forgot to mention they made some cool albums covers :D like the original logo in the foreground while the background was always interesting. If you lay them all out, it's like a landscape or something lol.
