The Classic Vinyl Record

Todays record is “Breakfast in America” by Supertramp. I love this album. Of course, I guess I say I love every album I have, but that’s beside the point. “The Logical Song” is one of my all-time favorite songs.
This is a great album, you can buy it and find out for yourself at MusicStack.

I have a lot of albums on vinyl. The only problem with this is that I can’t really take them with me anywhere. My friends don’t have record players, cars don’t have record players (although it was tried unsuccessfully in the 50’s). I need something like this to convert my records to either CD or [...]

Wow! What a collection. There are 5 records in this album. 40 songs. This is Bruce Springsteen at his best, live. All of the classics (Thunder Road, 4th of July Asbury Park, Fire, Born to Run, Born in the USA) are here, plus a whole lot more great stuff. This is the second best selling [...]

This is one of my more eccentric albums. 13th Floor Elevators were one of the first real psychedelic bands in the 60’s. They are also considered one of the most influential bands in garage rock, and punk rock.
They only played together from 1965 to 1969, but they made it big, had 4 albums, and played [...]

I’ve always wanted to use some of my albums as decorative pictures, but yet I still want to play the record. How can you do that without hanging the record with the cover, or taking the record out and storing it in something else, but that defeats the purpose of cover art, to see it [...]

Talk about irony. I remember (growing up in the 70’s and into the 80’s) music on TV selling on LP and cassette, even 8-track. But I also remember how that stopped once CD’s came out. No more 8-tracks (thankfully) and no more LP’s. Now, vinyl records could be what replaces CD’s.
Vinyl has been making a [...]

Auqualung by Jethro Tull is one of my prize albums. Yes, it’s a good album with some great music anyway, but I bought this unopened on 180 gram pure virgin vinyl from an analog pressing. It is a limited edition numbered disc. The sound on this record is amazing. Even with a regular record player, [...]

I have a pretty eclectic record collection. I’ve got stuff that most people have never heard of. 13th Floor Elevators, The Chocolate Watch Band (sounds like 50’s pop, but it’s psychedelic), I’ve got some good, and different stuff.
Today though, I thought I’d put up my one (and very lonely) Bob Marley album, Live! from 1975.
Everybody [...]

Yes, you read that right. A hybrid. Like a gas electric hybrid car, the vinyl-disc is a CD vinyl record hybrid. Optimal Media Production is the company that has produced this. They also carry many other specialty types of media for your recordings.
The vinyl-disc has a bottom layer that is played in a CD player [...]

There are many artists who are still releasing albums on vinyl. Radiohead (who are at the forefront of music releases), the heavy metal band Darkthrone, U2’s the Joshua Tree re-release, Iron Maiden, and many more.
I know, it’s not as easy to store or carry with you, but it still sounds, looks and feels so good. [...]
