Strider Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 ^^^ You MUST get Talk Talk's "Laughing Stock" and "Spirit of Eden" on vinyl. Astounding records that sound even more breathtaking on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles J. White Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I have an Akai turntable direct drive that is perhaps 30 years old but sounds great. I also have a white marble Kenwood turntable and a great sounding cherry Denon turntable direct drive 1200 something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 ^^^ "Laughing Stock" will change you. Dim the lights, pour a nice glass of wine or scotch, light up a bowl...and settle back into a comfortable chair. There are six songs but they flow into each other so that the album is an organic whole...although "Ascension Day", "After the Flood", and "New Grass" are the standouts for me. I won't bore you with the details of the extraordinary way they recorded the album...similar to "Spirit of Eden"...but will let you know that they just reissued the album on vinyl last year, so a vinyl copy should be easy to find. "Spirit of Eden" and "Laughing Stock" were never played live, unfortunately, as they were deemed too impossible to recreate in a concert setting. It was also the end of Talk Talk, a band who should be remembered for something more than "It's My Life". The influence of their last two records is vast...Radiohead, Wilco, Portishead, the "chill" genre of EDM, the low-fi movement. Talk Talk's last two records didn't sell very much, but most of those who did buy a copy were musicians themselves or people deeply into music. Get yourself one as soon as possible. I'm happy that I finally got some sleep. I missed most of the sports and Hurricane Sandy news of the weekend, so now I'm trying to catch up a little before I go to work.

chillumpuffer Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I have just dropped into the next village from me and have found a record shop selling VINYL. I knew it used to sell the odd record from time to time years ago but as I passed I popped in and asked. " In the cellar man" came the call. Down I went and couldn't believe it. Literally thousands of albums from The Beatles to House. Used of course but you could check them out to see if the marks were bad. The guy told me it has taken him a lot of work to catalogue them and grade them. Top marks that guy!! I could have been there all day and had no money left and I would have to sell the house. Anyway I picked up Neil Young - Decade 3 LP set, Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here and 20 Originals Of Little Feat - which is The First LP and Dixie Chicken. Total Cost 24 of my best English Pounds. Marvellous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Zep Girl Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I was in the check out line at the grocery store & spotted a Collector's Edition Rolling Stone Magazine with Jimmy & Robert on the cover. I swore I wouldn't buy another RS magazine but, I couldn't resist. Plus it's just about LZ. My splurge for the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
