The Classic Vinyl Record

I’m sure that most people have never heard of Spike Jones. My parents have, and others who are above the age of, I don’t know, say 55, might know who that is. Spike Jones was the original Weird Al Yankovic.

There are many collections of songs out there, this is one of them. Thank you Captain [...]

Atom Heart Mother is, well, I was going to say one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums, but I can’t say that. I love Pink Floyd, and to say that this is my favorite, I just can’t do that. All of their albums have something that makes them great. However, this is one of my [...]

I recently came across a post on ViP2 about how the whole idea behind vinyl being better than CD is myth and sentimentality. The author says that CD are superior to vinyl in every way. These are not my thoughts, so don’t get mad at me.
It’s not often you write something knowing full well that [...]

The third and final post by The Lonely Note on the difference between vinyl and CD’s. The first post dealt with the technology difference between CD’s and records. The second dealt with mostly the physical differences between LP’s and CD’s. The third part deals with the actual difference between the same album on both CD [...]

Here is the second part of this article by The Lonely Note. Here is the first post on the difference between vinyl records and CD’s in case you missed it.
Portability
This is probably the one category where the two camps of format fanatics can agree. The compact disc wins the portability argument in one fell swoop [...]

Great post over a The Lonely Note, talking about the difference between vinyl records and CD’s. It’s a three part article, so I’ll split it up too.
Introduction
Perhaps the only argument that has persisted on longer than the vinyl vs. CD debate is that one about the chicken and the egg. Both camps have loyal supporters. [...]

Journey is one of those great 80’s rock bands that people either love or hate. Personally, I love Journey, otherwise I wouldn’t have their album. You can buy this album at Musicstack.

This was actually referred to as the worst number 1 album ever by Dave Marsh of Rolling Stone. It has gone 9 times Platinum, [...]

All right, time for some rock.
Nobody rocks like Van Halen, even Van Halen (Hagar era) can’t touch them. Sorry to those Sammy Hagar fans out there. I like his stuff, but it just doesn’t do it for me like Van Halen with David Lee Roth.

Released in 1978, this album has made it past Gold and [...]

Ok, so maybe I’m a little behind the curve here, but I just saw that there is a record convention in Austin, Texas that is the biggest in the world. The Austin Record Convention has been meeting since 1981, brings in over 300 dealers, and over 1 million records, tapes, CD’s, and even an 8-track [...]

When I was at the record shop the other day, I saw a great classic album that I immediately picked up. Cream - Disraeli Gears on 180 gram virgin vinyl. Sweet!

It was brand new, unopened on 180 gram vinyl! I was surprised to see it their, as the owner didn’t have a lot of new [...]
