Turner, With vinyl, you want recordings that were not mastered on digital recorders, prior to about 1982. There’s really no point in buying vinyl mastered digitally, better off with cd, sacd or streaming. Of course, you can buy (as I have) vinyl reissued from original analog master tapes. Never digitized. I agree. I'm having trouble finding the source now, but some of Norah Jones earlier works was recorded on analog tape, PCM, and DSD at the same time. She's the only modern artist I buy on Vinyl. Right or wrong, I don't care. Pretty much everything else is older music. |

Right. I listen almost exclusively to jazz (I play) so works out well.
Best,

If you want one off strange pressings, check out this place. mondoshop.comDisclosure: I only bought the Atomic Blond soundtrack from them, and I really had to clean a new album for it to sound right, but they do have pressings that will never be released on CD or streaming services. I window shop too often, but so far, have only bought one. They do offer some 180gram pressings, but so far, nothing I can't live without. Regarding used vinyl, you can search YouTube videos on what to look for, but they all seem obvious to me. Avoid overly worn jackets, disk that show any visible scratches. I know of at least one store that has turntables and headphones setup so you can listen before you buy. If it's under $10 and looks good, and music you want. It's probably worth the risk to just get it. You can always take it home and clean it. One on my wishlist is www.musicdirect.com/music/vinyl/seatbelts-cowboy-bebop-soundtrack-from-the-netflix-original-series-colored-vinyl-2lp/. Only because it's jazz. |
