Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Music I've gotten for Christmas and with Christmas money: Rush - Permanent Waves [40th Anniversary Super Deluxe Box Set] vinyl:David Bowie - The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From MarsThin Lizzy - Black Rose: A Rock LegendMisterWives - SuperbloomSoundgarden - Badmotorfinger (25th anniversary double LP remaster)The Killers - Imploding The MirageKiss - Rock And Roll OverKing Crimson - DisciplineGentle Giant - Three FriendsPaul McCartney - Ram CD:Iron Maiden - Somewhere In TimeMadvillain - Madvillainy Is the PeW box worth every penny? What's your take on the albums from Maiden, McCartney, Kiss and Bowie? Do you have much more CDs than vinyl in your collection? Well the PeW box was a christmas gift, so I'm not sure how much was spent on it, but I really love it! So much cool stuff in there. Very nice book and lyric sheets. Maiden: I've only listened to it a couple times but I do really like it. A Very consistent album will lots of catchy melodies. Maybe it runs a bit long? McCartney: I've only listened to it once, but I can tell easily why its considered one of his best. Super imaginative arrangements, colorful production, and McCartney melodies. Kiss: This one's like candy. Hard candy specifically. It's sweet and crunchy and makes up in flash and style whatever it may lack in substance, though a couple of the tunes do get a little more nuanced than your typical Kiss fare, which I appreciate. Overall a hard rocking good time. Bowie: This is my favorite Bowie record and the first of his I ever listened to back when I first got into him. I'm just happy to finally have it on vinyl. Hm, I'm not sure if I have more CDs or records at this point. I know of the records I keep on my main shelf (and not in hard to reach boxes where they don't get played much) number about 500-600 at the moment. I've never done a count of the CDs, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's also in that ballpark, give or take a 100.

Steevo Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 ^^ Are you aiming to get all the Rush vinyl? I was getting hopeful for a while myself. Bjork album is a classic. Have you heard all 70s Kiss?

Have you heard all 70s Kiss? If so your fave album please? Keep ém coming :hail: My Rush vinyl collection inches closer to completion, though there's still a long ways to go. Here's what I have Rush wise so far on vinyl: 21122112 40th anniversary boxATWAS (though it's very beat up and skips a lot, need a better copy)AFTKAFTK 40th anniversary boxHemispheres 40th anniversary box (saw an old copy of Hems at the record store today for only 6 bucks! Didn't grab it since I have the box, but it's going to make someone very happy)PeWPeW 40th anniversary box)MPGuPPoWHYF Not sure how I'll ever find those 90s and onwards albums on vinyl, but I'll nab them the first opportunity I get. Passed up that early compilation of the first three albums once a few years ago and I should've picked it up then. Also saw Signals at the record store today but it was more expensive than GuP and I figured I'll see it again sometime. Very excited about that Bjork find, makes 5 Bjork albums I have altogether: two LPs, two CDs, and one digital I haven't heard all 70s Kiss. Still need to get the first three albums, Alive II, Peter Criss, Gene Simmons, and a couple others, plus I only have Destroyer on CD. My current favorite of what I do have: Alive. But not counting live albums, probably Rock And Roll Over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I paying like close to 80 / 90 cents per minute of runtime?

Have you heard all 70s Kiss? If so your fave album please? Keep ém coming :hail: My Rush vinyl collection inches closer to completion, though there's still a long ways to go. Here's what I have Rush wise so far on vinyl: 21122112 40th anniversary boxATWAS (though it's very beat up and skips a lot, need a better copy)AFTKAFTK 40th anniversary boxHemispheres 40th anniversary box (saw an old copy of Hems at the record store today for only 6 bucks! Didn't grab it since I have the box, but it's going to make someone very happy)PeWPeW 40th anniversary box)MPGuPPoWHYF Not sure how I'll ever find those 90s and onwards albums on vinyl, but I'll nab them the first opportunity I get. Passed up that early compilation of the first three albums once a few years ago and I should've picked it up then. Also saw Signals at the record store today but it was more expensive than GuP and I figured I'll see it again sometime. Very excited about that Bjork find, makes 5 Bjork albums I have altogether: two LPs, two CDs, and one digital I haven't heard all 70s Kiss. Still need to get the first three albums, Alive II, Peter Criss, Gene Simmons, and a couple others, plus I only have Destroyer on CD. My current favorite of what I do have: Alive. But not counting live albums, probably Rock And Roll Over.I found Presto and Counterparts separate times I was at my closest record store. They were both $35, but I felt like picking different albums. Now I regret it cuz they're both gone! :boohoo: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Trip to the record store today, my favorite one in the world right here in my hometown. All vinyl: 1. The Rolling Stones - Between The Buttons [Mono] I had a choice between this and a few other early albums for similar prices. I settled on this for two reasons: 1. It had more than one song I already knew, 2. Charlie grinning front and center on that album cover. 2. Genesis - And Then There Were Three With this album purchase, I now own every Genesis album from 1969-1991, including live albums, as well as one of their two EPs (the one which isn't already represented on side 4 of Three Sides Live). I also have a hits compilation from the late 90s, but dad bought that one more for himself and I don't really listen to it. 3. Genesis - Trespass And with this album purchase, I now own every Genesis album from 1969-1986 on vinyl, still including live albums. 4. King Crimson - Beat Continuing an ongoing tradition where I wind up getting a KC album unlikely to crack my top 3 or 4 of theirs on vinyl, while I settle for digital with my favorites. Though I did finally get a copy of ITCOTCK earlier this summer, so maybe Red, Islands, and Larks' Tongues In Aspic will follow shortly! 5. OutKast - Aquemini My first hip hop album on vinyl. My favorite album by my favorite hip hop artist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
