Spinning on the Turntable now...

[SyrinxTemple]

Iam laughing, not because I've bought albums twice, but I have alot of CD's I've bought twice ( same format) and 2 CD's that I've bought 3 times and 1 of them was shipped from the other side of the world

I am guilty of the same. I have bought albums, CDs and Blu-Rays twice. Fortunately, I am updating my inventory on Discogs, but it is taking forever, so I'm sure I'll buy more albums that I already own. My Blu-Ray/DVD/4K inventory on Blu-Ray.com is pretty up to date.

Throughout last year I went through the process of putting my whole library on Discogs. It was both impressive and something that I must never, ever, let my wife see because of some of the prices I’ve paid for stuff on Discogs.

I can totally relate.

Perhaps I shouldn’t admit this publicly, but I really like Never Say Die. Then again I love the Gillan/Hughes/Martin eras of Sabbath more than the rest, so I’m probably the oddball Sabbath fan.

I just finished Martin Popoff’s book about Sabbath in the 80s and 90s and loved it... a deep dive (really deep) into every album and what was happening within the band. You don’t often get that good of an exploration of an artist’s less popular eras and albums. (Sabbath with Dio obviously did pretty well in the early 80s, but after that it was rough sledding.)

Never Say Die is a great album. At that time, it was out of place for many. There was not a classic feel to the music. I thought it was very progressive of them to move in this direction and would like to have heard the next album. However, it was not to be. No guilt in enjoying this one!

To me, jazz always sounds wonderful through the Surround Master, especially with larger groups like this one (more than a dozen players on some tracks). I'm right in the midst of Gil Evans's orchestra, with soloists coming from the rears. Johnny Coles is especially good, which makes sense, given his billing. This is a very enjoyable release. If Svengali was too "out there" for you, give this a spin! Highly recommended!

I was hoping to get the half speed master LP of Wilson's new release this weekend, but Amazon has now delayed that...though they can't tell me for how long.

Such a great album! My favorite by Stevie. And, call me crazy, but I really like The Secret Life of Plants.

When I got back into vinyl, I told myself there was no need to get all the Deep Purple live albums since I had them on CD. Made in Japan and Nobody’s Perfect would be enough on vinyl, both favorites.

12 other live purchases later…

I’ll space the listening out over many months, but I started today with the runt of the litter. It’ll only get better from here.

@GOS ! Man! I can't thank you ENOUGH for turning us on to this band! The hype sticker says it all–
TROUBLE An absolute classic: the legendary album from 1990 and the pinnacle of Trouble's impressive career. Heavy Metal was never better than this!
If you have a Surround Master, by ALL means CRANK it through the blue-eyed MONSTER!

I just saw the excellent documentary "Stones and Brian Jones" which really captured a lot of the electric volatility of the '60's. Some great B&W concert footage reminded me of just how berserk & hormonally out of control these early '60's concerts really were; teenagers just absolutely hysterical, near RIOTS just amped up by the music & their own temporary insanity. "We don't KNOW what we want, but we want it NOW!!!"
Brian was ESSENTIAL to the band but yeah, they had to get rid of him. His musical contribution by 1969 had dwindled to nothing, and even by Keith Richards standards, Brian was a hopeless drug casualty. A surviving girlfriend spoke of how Brian would be drinking coke & whiskey all day long along with all the weed & pills. He was a disaster waiting to happen.
Even so, I lost interest in the Stones once Brian was gone. After decades of hearing the raves about "Exile on Main Street," I bought a copy, and let's just say that I'm not feeling it. "Let it Bleed" was their last great album for me; as always, no one's "wrong" to have stuck with them since 1969, but that's where I draw the line.

Great spin! Sometimes, i'm really surprised at how much some of my OG slabs go for on discogs!
