I really love every scrap of paper because everything is finally went up in smoke in a house fire I am very well situated in a new nice apartment it's been 2 years this week again here I have a terrific subsidy for people who they call elderly I ended the very beginnings of elderly and I do have a disability scoliosis of the spine but I still walk around and music is this is a heartbeat of my life so I we all have something in common. if there are any glaring typos or the pronoun your comes up instead of my I don't know why this talk-to-text always changes in pronoun My, as in: Me myself and I to you and hour's.... anyway I really needed a different album to listen to and I decided to put on control by Janet Jackson yesterday it was like F me running! This was a great choice! I thought of putting on Simply Red novels I haven't heard that I played it to death in the summer of 87.... but I wanted to get some ideas from your list. I realized that I'd ever heard the album Thriller all from from from the bed I used to babysit for a lady with beautiful cubby colors can an expresso with three little boys and she was right below Reedus is 3 floor apartment so this is a great way for me to start making money under the table but I remember seeing the Thriller album on top of a record player. I wanted to get to the idea from your list for me to play today and I'm getting really frustrated with his talk-to-text is not writing down what I am dictating to it. So I was.noted to tiychbuoon the raised eyebrow surprise album Mules Davus'1859 album...One might think Ray Charles considering Hus prolific careercthst crissedvinti popular American culture and was a mighthy Billboard cinwuirer ocriss genres as well.

You may have, nevertheless, a desirable, first pressing. As he mentions in his video. I had this, & also returned it. But, it had better sound, much more 'punch,' than the reissue with greatly reduced volume. Typical 'pop music' pressings, have a more limited signal to noise ratio. The 'Audiophile,' virgin vinyl, usually more expensive pressings, are quieter, are likely to have more accurate, detailed sound, which is why some people pay more for these, sometimes significantly more! Two solutions: I've had two or three 'radial tracking' tonearms, usually built into the turntable, where the arm / cartridge tracks straight across the disc, creating no skating effect. Minimizing / eliminating skipping. I also purchase Shure cartridges; the V - 15 series advertised 'high trackability,' and many LP's & singles are (also) mastered at high volume. I also had a Thorens turntable, with a SME tonearm, accurate anti - skating. (All pivoting tone arms have some skating effect, caused by several factors, incl. volume. High quality tone arms, which can, at times, be VERY expensive - if you have $, they will take it! - provide better results.) Once you play a record, & it skips, especially in the same place, it's difficult, though not impossible, to correct. When a record is 'cut,' mastered at loud volume, and the grooves are too close together, the sounds of the adjacent modulations can 'impinge' and cause an echo (similar to what's heard on, "Whole Lotta Love.") between the tracks next to each other. And, of course, may also contribute to skipping!

I really enjoyed this. Great info and insights! I was 13 to 14 in 1967, a seminal time. That year had so many incredible albums come out. I was a Beatlemaniac up until that time but I quickly became psychedelicized. It was a turning point from pop sensibility to deep transformation, both personal and societal. I’ll never forget listening to the Doors album in a darkened room for the first time. I opened up. Many of us opened up. I’d like to believe that music of this kind is still being made. I have discovered some of it. But it hasn’t grabbed and moved the culture like it once did. It has been replaced again with pop while many of us have retreated to our niches. Music was once a way to bring us together, now it drives us apart. I still have many of the 20 albums on vinyl, btw.

My late wife and her twin sister went halfsies on their first album as children living in Germany (father was military). The record was the first Beatle’s album. In was in my wife’s possession when she passed, so it went to her twin sister, who passed last year. The twin said her dentist offered her $10,000 for it but I don’t think she sold it. I will have to ask the last surviving sister to see what happened to it. After my wife passed, her twin asked for certain records...turns out they had an on-going contest to see who could buy the worst records. My wife had Tiny Tim, Robert Mitchum, William Shatner and more. I have some the top 20’s, but my late wife’s taste was primarily country and I was a Mama’s and Papa’s, Neil Diamond, Motown, Eagles, early 60’s type. Ect. As the great rock/pop music morphed into disco and so on, I got married to a woman who was primarily Country...Tiny Tim notwithstanding. I have 100’s of records, have been slowly digitizing them.

[@thetruthchannel349]

"vinyl sure seems to sound better than digital" *Digital is more detailed but less dynamic. Vinyl is very dynamic because they have to be careful about over-limiting and pushing levels so listening to a vinyl record is a lot closer to the dynamics you'd hear in masters in the 60s, 70s, early-early 80s. It seems like people prefer the sense of dynamics over detail. I also think people like the idea of listening to records as an experience not another btw scroll-through playlist that doesn't require any commitment. Maybe thats it. Maybe this whole vinyl thing is about people having an internal desire to return to the idea of commitment. A vinyl record represents several levels of excellence and commitment to art. Mp3s and WAV files represent all that work being funneled through an audio toilet. Vinyl is about more than listening, I think anyway.*

No Miles Davis ( though I saw him with Laura Nero at the Fillmore East in early 70s bc my girl friend , now my wife of 46 years loves Nero......uuuhgggghhhh ).I have Paranoid,, Abbey Road, LZ II, III, IV, The White Album , Rumors , Sgt Peppers, Thriller . Although this is a subjective list of most Desired LPs , there certainly many others thst evoke endless debates. But thats whst makes it fun for Our Music.

I was 10 years old in 1965. With my own money from shoveling snow, and cutting grass, I bought my first record album - Beatles 65, from the neighborhood Neisner's five and dime - which years later became K-Mart. The first K-Mart store in the country opened on Ford Road in Garden City Michigan. The building site is still there. I still have my first record album in a protective plastic sleeve, along with my other hundreds of albums in my collection. Many of my albums I have never even opened the celaphane wrapper, yet alone played them on my stereo. Those kind of albums are truly collectors items. Those that have come out decades ago, but never opened, and hit the record player needle.

[@Amen.22]

S.S. Kresge started in 1899. Later it became Kmart. I go often to the worlds biggest Kmart. It's open 24/7 and busy about 90% of the time. We don't have Walmart, Target or any other department store. We do have Macy's and Home Depot. There is a big building under construction, but no one knows for sure what it is. They are keeping it a secret for some reason. Someone working on the construction told my friend that it was going to be Walmart. However others told me it was going to be a Japanese mall.

[@rickprusak9326]

@@Amen.22 I live near the first Kmart located in Garden City Michigan. When that store opened, every customer walking in received a gold lettered drinking glass that commemorated the opening of the first Kmart. I have a couple of those glasses. When Kmart started closing the stores a few year's back - that first Kmart not only closed, but the building was torn down. Another Kmart that I'm familiar with is located in Menominee Michigan. It was the 2nd most profitable store in the country at the time of it's closure a few years ago. You're lucky that you have a Kmart still in existence, although I thought all of them are gone. I also live within a half hour of the Kmart Headquarters building complex in Troy Michigan. It's a huge prime location in the heart of other well known buildings of other large store headquarters. It's been empty for over a decade. Don't know why, it's prime real estate. Where is your Kmart located? I have a couple of Kmart hand shopping baskets, and a full size shopping cart I use in my laundry room to hold dirty clothes as a hamper near the washing machine. I really miss Kmart, and DON'T shop at a nearby Wallfart. I can't stand Wallfart and how the corporation treats it's employees. I know people need a job to work and pay the bills and buy food for themselves and their family, but if I had to choose where to get a job, I would rather work at the local car wash wiping down the vehicles of water drops, than work at Walfart.

Majority was mainly post war British artists, I think a lot of great music comes from lived experience of tough times, either reflecting on the past, societal conditions of the present or hope for movement, change and a better future. I feel a lot of the albums in this list explored that in some way and is perhaps why they are timeless, these were mainly musicians that cared more about the art of message than money and so each track on the album was like chapters in a deeper story.

No great loss. I've got various quadraphonic L.P.'s (& decoders for) the 3 different quad systems that existed i.e. Sony's "SQ" quad system, & Sansui's similar & compatible "QS" quad system & JVC's "CD-4 Discreet" system. But those quad L.P. pressings, especially the CD-4 type, don't sound as good (or last as long without groove degradation) compared to the bog-standard original stereo pressings. Because all those quad LPs have an extra 30 KHz (outside our audio hearing range) carrier-wave of decoding info' added to the stereo groove, that produces the extra 2-channels when played through the appropriate decoder box & that i.m.o. very-much compromises & weakens the stereo sound when played on standard stereo system. I've quad versions of 2 Zappa's, 2 Santana, The Dark side of...,, Joe Walsh's smoker album, & more i can't recall but prefer the original stereo versions (where i also have them) in all cases. I wouldn't rue the loss of any quad LP, i've heard "the Dark side" in true quad & it's gimmicky, most of the time the extra 2 channels are the same as the front except it's got gimmicks added, like the bells explosion is steered around the four speakers ....gr8😩 I still have my passed-on fathers 3 quad demodulators (stashed in the attic) for the 3 different quad systems of the day but after hearing all, i cannot be asked to set any up again I'm hoping eBayers will be hot to own them, do you wanna buy all or any? I'd swap any of my Quad L.P.s for the original stereo pressing anyday. The best Darkside is the early 70's stereo pressing i also have & that sounds far better than the Darkside's remixes, 25th Anniversary pressings, 200 gram remastered etc etc the original (pref' early) 73 (or 74?) pressings are superior, the rest is cash-grab marketing. Press your albums tight to the platter with a good record-clamp & have a 2 or 3000 gram / 2 or 3 Kg pressing! The 1970's had so much vinyl-playing gimmickry

[@Doggeslife]

@BLACK GSD54 No,, but it was fun to hear all the extra new sounds, including those behind me after Alan Parsons re-engineered Dark Side Of The Moon to 4-channel. I didn't notice anything different on the Wish You Were Here album though. But yeah, I too prefer to have the band in front of me rather than sound like I'm standing among the musicians. And the lack of quad material to play didn't help it's existence. Quad did not fly in the 1970s, but Dolby Surround did better in the 1980s and now we have 5 channel +sub, 7 channel,+ sub, and who knows what is to come? I still prefer 2 channels for music though.
