Got Vinyl?

[just strum]

and strum, brother, i really like you, my friend, but qualify your statements about the fan club in waco.

If I did that I would have to post your address or at least point out it is the other resident that lives at your house - and I'm not referring to the dog.

Hey Kris, I've got that album, now I'm gonna have to go pull it out and listen to it, maybe I'll even throw on "Journey to the Center of the Earth"!

Another great Wakeman album! When I was a rabid Yes fan, I got all the solo albums each of the members, too. Wakeman was the most prolific by far; I got those two, and "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table," "No Earthly Connection," and "Criminal Record." There may be another but I can't remember (I didn't get the winter olympics soundtrack he put out). Plus the solo efforts of Squire, Howe, Anderson and Alan White. I even bought an album by Refugee because Patrick Moraz had played on it, and an album by Badger because Tony Kaye played on it. Of course, the Flash albums with Peter Banks. I even bought an old album by Gun because the cover art was the first cover ever done by Roger Dean! I tended to be fanatical about following the side-tracks of the mainstream music scene. What memories!!!

And of course, all this is on vinyl. :

I personally favor vinyl over digital. I think the sound is so much warmer and pleasing.

And that's because it was probably recorded originally with analog gear and media (tape), not digital.

I still have most of my 'albums' collected from about '61 - 83. About 7' wide, shelf-space. Some are actually in mono, because I was a kid and you could get the mono for a buck less than the stereo, and not all 'phonographs' were 'stereophonic', like the little portable suitcase jobs. I have the first couple of Beatles albums in mono, for instance.

Some albums I just went ahead & bought the CD reissues of, and some of these actually sound better than the vinyl because of the mastering process being more technologically advanced. I've been slowly working my way through spinning them and burning them to CD. Frying eggs and all.

Fun aint it Wings? I probably have 3-5 hundred albums, stuff dating back to when I was a teenager, most of it bought new, by me, I should count them some day. I've been working on a small music room to do all of my recording and I too, am plugging away at getting some of those gems converted to CD.

Vinyl lives! :

Yep. Of course, one of the highlights of the days of vinyl was/is how functional a double-album could be, making a great tool and surface for preparing the 'audio enhancement' component of my stereo system for... use .

Nevertheless, my copy of Big Bambu still has its 'special' insert; I could never afford to utilize it to its full capacity.
