troutman Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Awesome thread Narpski! It reminds me EXACTLY of myself a few months ago.. Dropping an actual needle on and actual record for the first time since like 1981.. Unreal!! I was just grinning from ear to ear and couldn't stop lol. You even have a copy of ATWAS that's older than mine! My brother bought mine in about 1978 I think. Now with my originals and the stuff I bought since, I have maybe 70 albums. 30 or so Rush :) As the avatar indicates, I'm a 70's child!! I kinda miss those daysThanks friend. It is cool indeed to fire up all my old albums again... :) What other albums are in that stack? :codger:A sh*tload of pre 80' Yes and Yes band members solo projects. I must have 6 or 7 Rick Wakeman albums. All pre 80' Priest, Scorpions, AC'DC, Pat Travers Band, UFO, Triumph, Budgie, All Zep realeases, early Van Halen and much more. I have all of Rush from Grace Under Pressure back. My first order of business will be to get Close To The Edge. As in a previous post I stated I don't know how in the hell I don't have that when I have everything else Yes under the sun. I will also get Power Windows, HYF and Presto soonest. If the record store I found is a vast as it looks Lord knows what gems I can find in there used and for cheap!! Can't wait to go look. I may swing by there tomorrow just to get a taste.... :) Awesome!! A new store just opened here recently. I need to check it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hey Narpster, if you don't have them, why not get the recently re-issued Angel albums on vinyl? I got them for my wife & she LOVES them! They're by Rock Candy. They've only done the first 3 so far but I think the others are in the pipeline.I have their first 4 releases. I double checked yesterday. Angel, Helluva Band, On Earth As It Is In Heaven and White Hot. I can't wait to fire up Tower and the like. My wife goes back to work tomorrow and I will have plenty of time to rock this house.... :cheers: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutman Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Do you have the original "Frampton Comes Alive"? :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Do you have the original "Frampton Comes Alive"? :smoke:That one I don't. I think my brother must have had it and played it to death for a time. I wasn't really interested at that time in what was popular. Example.... No Boston, Foreigner etc..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frampton Comes Alive was one of those I could never get into. Probably because my brother played it to death. I was far more interested in Tokyo Tapes... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I hated it when some one would just play one song or album over and over. Drove me nuts! I had a friend who would just listen to Tom Petty's "Refugee". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every band I loved put out a great live recording from 76' to 79' it seemed... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Also, have you thought of keeping your albums in plastic sleeves to protect them from wear? Something like these. I used to keep all my albums in sleeves and they stayed looking new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to keep all my albums in sleeves and they stayed looking new!I am pretty sure that ship has sailed long ago. These albums are all somewhere between 33-40 years old and have been handled and played to death way back when. Doubt there is anything that will save their patina at this point. Appreciate the suggestion however.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Since I know that you keep the LP's the right way now, I'll sleep better. :cheers:What are you going to spin next, Narpski? Edited January 5, 2015 by greyfriar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutman Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Are the albums facing outwards to where you can see the artist and the name of the album? If so, take some close up shots and post them. There must be some Iron Butterfly in that collection. :codger: :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Damn the vinyl sounds awesome. I am convinced there is a difference and in a good way. Hell, it even makes Vapor Trails sound decent so there must be something to it... :dweez: Edited January 12, 2015 by Narpski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 They should never have ditched vinyls. Wish I still had mine. Glad you are enjoying yours, Narps. You might be able to get a good price for Mrs. Narpski's Police album on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
