The Official Van Halen, "Tattoo" review thread.

[kwame k]

I seem to remember having to get up all the time to turn them over though.

They were two sided

[fifth element]

If I still had records that would help, too

my boss and i were talking...(he's the only person that I work with who is excited about the VH single, tour, album, etc...), was telling me that he still has all of VH's previous albums in vinyl...
was telling me in detail about the day he saw one of their concerts...(I think he said 1979.)...

lol...should have seen his eyes light up when he started to talk about David Lee Roth...

[SNIPER]

That snap, crackle, pop when the needle hits the record and then POW....sonic bombast!

Man, I miss that shit!

HELL YES!!!!! Just got the chills!!!!

It's weird isn't it?

I had someone turn up at my New Years Eve do with a single another one of the guests had released back in the mid 80s. There was much excitement about this artefact until I had to break the news I had no way to play it.

They are still easy to get. 200$ will get you one.

I wish I could get the whole six pack on vinyl - although I don't know why.

I dug up my vinyls of I, II & 1984.

I don't even know where my vinyl is, I think it went about 3 houses ago.

Actually I've been thinking I might throw out my 200 hundred CDs.

[SNIPER]

About 10 years ago I moved into a house that had a box left behind in the closet in one of the extra bedrooms. After a couple of years I decided to finally check it out. I was pleased to find it was full of classic LP records. 4 of them were VH. 1, 2, FW, & DD. Nice find.

[DavidLeeNatra]

Because it would kick ass, that's why! I've got the six-pack on the new 180g vinyl and it's fucking awesome!
When you turn up the volume on a CD, it just makes loud noises in the air. When you crank the volume on vinyl, it moves the air itself.

.....and when I get this new VH on vinyl, I'm gonna turn it up so loud that everyone in the neighborhood gets pregnant!

FTW!

I couldn't agree more. Hell, I kept my vinyl and turntable...and it still sounds AWESOME after all these years, better than any download ever will.

So glad my six pack will now become a seven pack! (or is that a six pack with a bonus 40 oz - er?) CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE VINYL RELEASE!!!

You get the full dynamics of sound with analog recording and a quality vinyl recording and a good turntable is unbeatable for that. Nothing they make today can rival the sound quality the high end systems of the late 1960's and 1970's could produce. plus the equipment was put into beautifully made cases not the low gauge bent sheet metal and plastic shit they make now. What we get now is no background noise and convenience.
