Good thread this, which will probably run for ages. A friend of mine recently purchased a turntable, and he has started buying vinyl that has been reissued the expensive way.i think his aim is to buy 'classic' albums like Floyd , nirvana etc. I'm not sure I would do this. I have turntable with some old vinyl already.
I've bought music in every version possible (except 8 track/gramophone ). So, I'll stick to the various versions which I already have.when buying vinyl years ago, it was imperative to buy the original pressings. (Ie united artists and not the emi fame repress)
albums that stood out years ago (and sill do); tubular bells/sabbath vol4/UFO obsessions/ Floyd / hawkwind levitation/do re mi/queensryche rage for order.
The 80s were full of over produced drums . Not all bad, but you can tell the stuff that didn't bode well. Now I wanna reclaim my overkill on green vinyl.
