When CDs were first released, I made the mistake of selling most of my vinyl albums. I kept some CVH and a few others but sold about 100-120 albums all up - boy do I regret that now. I've bought a few second hand ones lately - they range from about $15-$40 in Australia (second hand).
Absolutely thrilled to hear A Different Kind Of Truth will be released on vinyl.Comment

Being an artist, I love the large scale cover art of vinyl. I have Van Halen I, Wome and Children First (with classic Dave poster) Fair Warning, Eat Em' N Smile, Crazy From the Heat and Skyscraper and I treasure themI got lost in the...Comment

That's what you call an 'investment'; those of us who learned about it appreciate music in a way that younger folks who are growing up with downloads don't. Getting up to change sides was just the last stage in a lot of effort to get to the music - beginning, often, with having to send away and wait weeks, or making a special journey to Glasgow, the nearest city to where I lived, and which was the only way you would be guaranteed to get what you wanted.
Investments worth making! And, you don't skip tracks, or just listen to the first 20 seconds of it on youtube before saying 'this sucks'!!THINK LIKE THE WAVESComment

Unfortunately, much of what you say is a lost art. I hate to generalize, but the large majority of folks under 35 who grew up in the "digital" age will never understand, or experience this. And that is unfortunate, because that feeling of excitement is one that I remember fondly from my high school years.
Heck, i still vividly remember skipping school and making the 30 minute walk to Sam The Record Man while it was -20 outside, to buy 1984 when it was first released. It was all worth it the second I got home, cranked up my sound system and popped the needle down on side 2 (I always used to listed to new records from side 2 first - a quirky habit), and being completely blown away by Hot For Teacher.Comment

Can't stress the speaker part... that's the single biggest sin of the digital age. It's doesn't fucking matter how sonically perfect the CD/DVD is and playback unit digitally processes it!! If you are sending that output to a pair of 3/8ths inch ear buds you are losing 90% of the sound... laptop speakers 85% lost... even a good computer speaker system with a 5 inch sub and 2 2.5 inch tweeters you are just getting over driven lows and highs.
On topic... I first listened to Tattoo with ear buds. Caught the groove and mix sounded... just ok. When I got the chance to crack it in my studio... the song breathed. The sonic space opened up wide open. I could not only hear but feel Al's kick drum and Wolf's bass... On another site some yahoo "remastered" the MP3 that was released... claiming it must of been unmastered. Some comments were positive... all he did was run it through an EQ and tweeked the frequencies and hushed some high end. Totally unnecessary... only enhanced the tiny speaker experience. Which sucks no matter what you do and how much you spend on headphones...
Seriously... this won't even sound like the same song live... through real speakers. It will kill..."If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”Comment

Now folks just have music on... We grew up listening to it! And I still do to this day. At work someone'll turn on the iPod, crank it, then walk out. I'd rather leave it off because I tend to distract myself by wantining to listen too closely! I tell 'em I take it too seriously to have it on in the background. BTW, all my vinyl has travelled with me through 30-plus years of travels, including the 6pack and the DLR poster!No light at the end of the tunnel, due to budget constraints...Comment
