I've got 3 or 4 albums from The Kinks, and saw them in concert up here in the southern New England (USA) area 4 time back in the 70's and 80's.The Kinks "Arthur (or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)" from 1969. Great Kinks LP.
Very cool! I have vascilated from "Lola Vs. Powerman" and "Schoolboys in Disgrace" as my favs. But "Arthur" is up their as one of their best and it sounds amazing on my system. I have seen YT ranking videos of Kinks albums and Arthur ends up very high or on top.I've got 3 or 4 albums from The Kinks, and saw them in concert up here in the southern New England (USA) area 4 time back in the 70's and 80's.
That's one I'll have to keep an eye open for to add to my collection.![]()
That sticker does suck not being on the shrink wrap but that's my favorite Zep album.This arrived today, which is awesome. But why in the heck are they plastering the hype sticker on the cover? Grrr! Why not on the shrink wrap?
I wonder how they arrived at that percentage? I would love to see the stats behind those proclamations.![]()
Half of the fans buying vinyl in the US don't even own a record player
Data shows that many buying vinyl records aren't actually listening to their purchases on vinyl. So why are they buying them?www.musicradar.com
LOL like many such "statistics" are gathered? I just thought it interesting and not particularly surprising either....I wonder how they arrived at that percentage? I would love to see the stats behind those proclamations.
Not surprising? Why not? I believe that is fake news. 1-2% max, I'd say.LOL like many such "statistics" are gathered? I just thought it interesting and not particularly surprising either....
I believe that statistic...even though kids love records, they listen to music on their phones.I wonder how they arrived at that percentage? I would love to see the stats behind those proclamations.
Looks like I got the sizing close on the first section. Now just need to align them a little better. But my printer prints too faint.I got an original issue of the Stones' "Some Girls" today. Described acccurately as VG+. It is actually better. One spindle trail is all I can detect. If you know this record, the cover is die cut (also censored after the original issue), so the inner sleeve is key to the cover. Well this is missing the inner, but it was described that way, so it's fine. Got a fabulous deal that way on Discogs. Discogs posts photos of entire covers, sleeves, labels etc. So, I am going to attempt to print out and make my own my own inner. Have to crop each section, because no one can print 12 x 12 unless you want to pay huge $ somewhere. It should work out on my $79 printer, if the size cooperates. I am pretty sure I can make it work.
Just saw thatChris, I had a good laugh at the above. Whomever photo shopped it is a rank amateur ! Look at the TT / tonearm !
