A beautiful album. And an old friend playing one of the best tracks. (Sorry you have to have Facebook)

Anyone have the metallica black album reissue? How's the sound quality? My experience with their other reissues is that they're God awful, but I've read that the black album is the exception. Wouldn't mind picking it up if that's the case.

In case you might be looking for something in particular.

I'm pretty happy with the remasters I've bought so far. I have Kill em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets and Garage Days. I don't have a reference of an original vinyl, but I think they sound great. Admittedly the records start spinning on average 4 or 5 drinks in, but no way they are god awful. I likely won't buy any more because I'm an old Metallica snob. Ha!
Quoted from emkay:The double-LP of Motley Crue's Greatest Hits is $10 on Amazon today.

Quoted from Fulltilt:My local record store isn’t getting a copy of the Roy Buchanan Live at the Town Hall LP.
Anyone shopping that day and can pick it up for me, I’ll pay you royally.
I am going at some point. Happy to check.
Quoted from waldo34:I am going at some point. Happy to check.
Thanks, I appreciate that a lot! Don't go out of the way though unless you happen to see it. It will end up for sale on Discogs eventually. (:
Quoted from waldo34:Getting the holiday weekend rocking.

Ugh! I love Van Halen and I love Sammy Hagar but I really hate the stuff they did together.
On a side note, I never noticed that the guy on the cover looks like he’s holding a giant pinball.

I like Van Halen with both though I prefer Roth. They are practically two different bands.
Quoted from Goronic:I like Van Halen with both though I prefer Roth. They are practically two different bands.
I agree like two different bands. I also like both versions.

Funny I was thinking pinball also.
Looking for a copy of Collective Souls Hints, allegations from the RSD releases tomorrow. If anyone can pick one up for me please PM me.

Sold out at my record store. They only received two copies.
Quoted from HighProtein:Had to buy this classic for $5![quoted image][quoted image]
Hello dad, I'm in jail;
I like it here!
Good album.
What album was it that had "shake your head"?
BTW, Bloody Kisses is an AWESOME album. Wish it had original cover art before they censored the cd...
Quoted from waldo34:Sold out at my record store. They only received two copies.
Thanks for asking!! That's 2 more than my record store had. I should have given my local store a heads-up to order one. (:
I believe it was limited to 750 anyway.
It'll show up somewhere. I've seen it already online at $70.

Found one! Thanks again for helping me search. 
ok, i need to ask and it's a stupid question. does vinyl really sound better than a cd or high res download? i had a vinyl player as a kid, but i didn't use it for music. more for children read along books. i've gotten mixed answers from some folks if it does sound better i'm interested in getting a player, but sort of wonder it is will sound better or would it be for more enthusiasts?

If you have good equipment and clean records yes. But honestly for me it is the fun of listening to vinyl records. I still listen to a lot of cds, mp3s, and streaming as well
Nothing beats/compares to vinyl imo. That static sound before the first sound or beat is soohoo recognizable. Plus the large cool cover is a bonus

The question since the first CDs came on the market.
I don't really know that it's 'better', but to me it's different and a sound I prefer.
I like this article that points out pros and cons.

Let's get real small and take another listen...

It depends on the release, your set up, etc. There's no real universal truth to it. The pre-CD era is where I really tend to notice the difference, where the reissues don't live up to the vinyl. Also, when you get into promo vinyl and 12"s and stuff you can tell a difference in quality between different vinyl releases.

It's the whole experience.
Removing the record from the sleeve, the ritual of cleaning it and dropping the needle on it.
Reading the liner notes and artwork while you're listening to it.
And, I think that most here would agree with me, is buying them !
Nothing beats hours spent browsing through the bins at your favorite record store.
And yes......I like the way they sound too!
Quoted from zaki:thanks for the info from you all and that article. i'm going to get a player. now comes the hard part picking one
Congrats! See you at the bottom of the rabbit hole

That's awesome. Anyone remember "What Up Dog", "Earth To Doris" and "Dad I'm in Jail" being featured on MTV's Liquid Television around '92? Those were some memorable animations to match those tracks. Damn that was an awesome show....Aeon Flux, Beavis & Butthead, Stick Figure Theater. Groundbreaking.

I wondered where I remembered "Dad I'm in jail" from. That had to be it. Also used to go to the "Spike and Mike Sick and Twisted Animation Festival" when it came around.

I hope this helps you start looking.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could listen before buying? (:
