December Vinyl Spins Challenge

[Yer Ol' Uncle D]

Day 15: Fuck Chad
Play a great audiophile pressing.

Great timing. I just made this post in another thread...

Post in thread 'New ultrasonic vinyl cleaner in the works: Humminguru'

Sunday at 12:12 AM

I think I've said something to this effect here before, but as I move thru my collection and give them all the ultrasonic treatment it's more and more evident what an absurd joke many of today's overpriced pressings are in overall quality and how much we're all getting gouged. I've got many new records that are as clean and shiny as the head of the creature in Alien that are noisy garbage after cleaning compared to most records I bought in the 70s and 80s that show visible scuffs/imperfections but play silently and flawlessly getting the same treatment.

There was a member here that isn't...

• Yer Ol' Uncle D

And here's one of the records that birthed that post. Just a pedestrian copy I purchased new at Schoolkids Records in Chapel Hill upon its release in 1980 and 44 years later it sounds spectacular.



Dire Straits - Making Movies

Day 15: Fuck Chad

Play a great audiophile pressing.

This Analogue Productions pressing sounds fantastic, especially L.A. Woman and Riders on the Storm.

Plus the executive producer on this particular reissue is named Chad. So fuck (yeah) Chad, good job!

Doors ~ L.A. Woman

Day 9: Gifts

Aretha Franklin - Sparkle (Music from the Warner Bros. Motion Picture)

I don’t usually gift records to close friends & family as none of my friends are as into vinyl as I am & my dad doesn’t play his very often. This was an album I’d gifted @Poly-Rythmo for Secret Santa a couple years ago and it’s an album I should give more people, this combination of Aretha’s vocals & Curtis’ production is A1!

Day 9 - Gifts

Aretha Franklin - Sparkle

Right back at you @Wicked Dreamer - this was a fab choice that gets a lot of spins for me. Got my Mum over and so breaking this out right now. Thanks again for a great Secret Santa gift.

Ok, well I'll amend my comment.

Fuck Chad, and in this case, Fuck (Yeah) Chad.

Jacob Miller - Natty Christmas

Playing sporadic catch up here. One of my very favourite Christmas albums, featuring one of my all-time best covers. As I've said before, perhaps the best thing about this is for a v long time both my kids would correct people singing "we wish you a Merry Christmas" by saying no, it's "we wish you an Irie Christmas"

Got this in the secret santa way back in 2020 from @Wes C. Attle, who was actually my santa again this year! Fantastic pics both times. This one gets played quite often, fits a certain mood around here.
