Been on a semi-vinyl diet the past few weeks, but picked up a couple I've been wanting for a while.
Tori Amos - Under the Pink (B&N pink variant, new remaster by Jon Astley, half speed master cut at Abbey Road). This is a classic album and I really had high hopes for this remaster but it still is plagued by background noise. And they went with like a hot pink translucent with a little marbling. Doesn't look as good as I'd hoped either. Overall a little disappointed with this one.
Counting Crows - August and Everything After - Live at Town Hall
This is a crystal clear pressing and amazingly energetic performance. Highly recommend watching the video of it. I've come to like this live version with all the variations thrown in better than the studio version.
Spirit Fest - Mirage Mirage
I'm a huge fan of The Notwist, and I've been impressed with Spirit Fest's output so far. This is another fun experimental album. Good to work to. But I'd held off since it came out because it was like $40 everywhere. Found a new copy at my local for $9 last week and was an easy pickup.
Dave Matthews Band - Live at Red Rocks (silver variant, limited to 5000)
The sleeves and box have a major corner dent, but I saw this at a CD warehouse this morning for $50. The vinyl is in perfect condition and sounds great. Had to break my diet to snag this one ;-)
