I love the needle

[Kaos]

Was listening to some music on my iPhone today while driving. 

Shuffle of things.. Journey, Bee Gees, EWF, Neil Diamond, GnR, Disturbed, Tone Loc...

Then I get a track from Herb Alpert.  A Taste of Honey.  It was pulled from vinyl.  I didn't realize how much I LIKE the crackle and hiss from a needle.  Yeah the other songs are crystal clear and every minor imperfection brushed away, but there's something about that needle noise that I enjoy. 

Herb could trumpet his ass off, BTW.  It's a nice interruption in the mix.

Gotta love that Tijuana Brass.

Ever listen to any of The Hollies' stuff from the late 60's/early 70's? Doesn't quite have the hissing sound but it does have the Motown sound  - like it was recorded in a cave with an echo. I like it.

I'd like to go back and get vinyl of everything I have pre-CD days.   Back in Black album by AC/DC is ten times more awesome with the needle scratch carrying it.  Same with Hotel California, The Long Run, Commodores and most of the KISS stuff.  Alive I and II on vinyl?  That's the shit.  I hate remasters now.

They have this stuff all over the internet.  Plus, I know there is a store in Birmingham that sells all vinyl.

Yeah.  I know.  I'm more saying that Herb convinced me to replace as much of my "pristine" remastered music with good old scratchy vinyl sound as I am wondering where to get it.

I got a record player for christmas a few years ago and I usually try and check out the Thrift stores and flea markets for some treasures.  there is a lot of shitty records that are given the goodwill.

[Come Honor Face]

If you're looking for a good cheap place that has a shitload of vinyl, try the goodwill stores.  My friend got me hooked when I was living in N'awlins.  It was the last place I had even thought about having records.  Although you might have to dig through a lot of shit to find one good one, you'll never know what you might stumble upon.

If you're looking for a good cheap place that has a poopload of vinyl, try the goodwill stores.  My friend got me hooked when I was living in N'awlins.  It was the last place I had even thought about having records.  Although you might have to dig through a lot of poop to find one good one, you'll never know what you might stumble upon.

Yep, they are loaded with vinyls.

Also, if you are ever in the Auburn/Opelika area for games, etc...check out that Antique Mall in Opelika on 280, Angel's I think its called. I bought a poopload of records there a while back. Four Tops, Beatles, Joe South, Simon and Garfunkel - good ones. Many more. They had 1000's. Most were 1.00-5.00 each.
