I've heard bad things about some of their pressings (Rated R reissue specifically) so I'm hesitant to pick-up Like Clockwork.

I picked up Like Clockwork last week, and honestly I think the vinyl sounds great. To be fair though I haven't listened to this on any other format

How was the booklet?

The limited version is a fucking beautiful thing.

I dunno why, but this made me laugh. I fully understand why you're asking, and was thinking the same thing, but it just made me realize how nerdy us vinyl enthusiasts can be.

Well, the booklet is pretty important.

Honestly - I thought it was pretty sweet, but then again - nothing to compare it to since I've not picked up any of the other formats

Cool...i will buy it.

I ordered the standard edition LP today. $26 from Amazon.

I supersized my order with:
Era Vulgaris
Lullabies to Paralyze
Springsteen Wrecking Ball

I was tempted by the recent STP reissues (Core and Purple) but held back... anyone here pick those up?

anyone have the new Sigur Ros on vinyl? worth it? it's like $35 at the store (deluxe edition; $25 for regular)

They've done reissues of Core and Purple? - I'm gonna have to go and check this out

Report back to us!

I just pulled the trigger on this because music makes me happy.

Bob Dylan’s first eight groundbreaking albums are returning to the marketplace for the first time ever in a limited edition box set of newly mastered mono versions on fully analogue 180-gram vinyl.
The Original Mono Recordings are comprised of these albums painstakingly reproduced from their first generation monaural mixes as the artist intended them to be heard: One channel of powerful sound, both direct and immediate. While stereo recordings had been available as early as the mid-1950s, mono was still the predominant – and often preferred – mode of recording and mixing by the top artists of the 1960s. As a result, artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan devoted their attention to the mono mixes, leaving the stereo mixing process to studio engineers.
The Original Mono Recordings are accompanied by a deluxe booklet, featuring vintage photographs of Bob Dylan and an expansive essay from renowned author and critic – and longtime Dylan aficionado – Greil Marcus. Each disc in the set comes in its own individual jacket which faithfully replicates the original album artwork, complete with labels and stickers that were found on the original 1960s releases.


The eight albums in The Original Mono Recordings are as follows:
Bob Dylan – 1962
The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan – 1963
The Times They Are A-Changin’ – 1964
Another Side Of Bob Dylan – 1964
Bringing It All Back Home – 1965
Highway 61 Revisited – 1965
Blonde on Blonde (2 LP) – 1966
John Wesley Harding – 1967

So I've just ordered Core and Purple. Was going to get Ben Harper's Give Till it's Gone too - but adding that pushed the shipping up to rediculous amounts

Yeah, prices for shipping hazardous waste have skyrocketed.

Shop around; I got the deluxe edition (you mean the one with the extra 10'', right?) for $25, and I've seen it a couple of different places for under $30.

You should try Amazon... unless you're a RSD-indie-shop-local-hipster type, then I totally get why you wouldn't.

Anyways, I get a lot of my new releases from Amazon, and prices tend to be slightly cheaper than my local stores and shipping is free if the order is over $25.

I couldn't see Core or Purple on Amazon - had to go through some other online retailer. Although last night I was having a wee browse on Amazon and found some place advertising on there that had 1 copy left of Superunknown on vinyl - so I grabbed that.

PIcked up on the cheap from amazon
