Vinyl is getting more and more sales. I just can't understand why. OK. A vinyl album in perfect condition can sound really good. Vinyls manufactured today can surely sound very good with good remastering and pressing in not too large quantities. But historically - how many of your favourite albums were good pressings? Unwarped and perfectly centered?

The Beatles 180 gr Mono-LP-box is Worth the Money...sounding fantastic..just as most of my LPs made 1954-1991...
The two that sounds worst is 'Are you experienced' and 'Rubber Soul' and both in Stereo...horrible stereo and quality on them original pressings...

What do you reckon of Voodoo Lounge, Bridges to Babylon and A Bigger Bang, quality wise? Records produced in the nineties, like Time Out of Mind, tend to be rare.

Nothing wiromg with the vinyl or pressings....but the recording , brick wall compression & digital mastering are terrible.
[Getting progressively worse over those albums in my opinion]

Bridges To Babylon sounds excellent, VL pretty good and ABB awful. No Security also sound very good.
That goes for cassettes as well, but there VL sounds as good as the others. ABB still sounds rotten..

The plural of vinyl is "vinyl" not "vinyls", ferchrissakes.
As a record store owner, every time I hear that, I automatically profile the speaker as a poseur.

A BIGGER BANG on vinyl was just... a CD put on vinyl. Nothing about the process of a full digital recording can improve on vinyl. That's just a money grab.

But Bowie is far more popular so they can charge more.
I have really been back into vinyl now for a few years and really appreciate the warmth and textures you miss with the digital binary platform. I think you loose some of the dynamics when the digital can't discern between the more quiet subtle sounds, like a long cymbal sustain, or quiet notes.
