I hate to tell you this man, Rubber Soul was originally released on Parlaphone in the UK, not Capitol. Also , no UK lps from the 60's were shrinkwrapped- it was against the law.
You are absolutely correct! I remembered it wrong! It is parlaphone and I called my wife at home just to check! Hum... it is shrink wrapped. So maybe I've been keeping a bootleg all these years and didn't even know! Thanks for the tip! Now you're going to make me take it to a dealer and have it checked out!
it's still at that location as far as i know. that guy is a complete a$$. i wouldn't give that guy any business. in austin, you can contact the nice folks at alien records, mr. wizard, or austin speaker repair. if they don't have what you're looking for, they will head you in the right direction. as for transferring vinyl to cd/mp3...i do it all the time. i usually do a direct D-->A by running the turntable into the receiver. then, using the "aux out" i send the signal through a compressor and mixer into an external stereo cd burner. then you end up with a direct master. i then convert to mp3 on my computer so i can have all the "rare" music in my soundbank. enjoy.
Anybody else have "Introducing The Beatles" on the Vee-Jay Record label? Found mine in a drugstore in Huntsville while at college. Thought it was the hard to find Original release. Turns out it's a fake If you have a copy you check if it's a fake or not on this website: http://www.eskimo.com/~bpentium/beatles/intro/intro.html
Sometime Us Importers would shrink UK records because US customers weren't as comfortable buying unsealed records. But shrinkwrap machines are still easily to find so it could be anything in there. A dealer will probably want to open the shrink and check it out.
That's probably what happened! I bought it in 1978 at a second hand shop in Houston. And I couldn't help myself! I opened it as soon as I got hom this evening! Man! I've had that thing almost 30 years now! But here ya go!
Check out this site: http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/kirkland/266/btls/uk/uklp.htm It explains all the label styles and will help you identify yours (looks like early 70s).
And here is the American versions of The Beatles albums and their value (in British currency unfotunately) http://www.beatles-discography.com/index.html?http://www.beatles-discography.com/us-albums.html
thanks white So it looks like I gots me a 28 year old $35 dollar album! Oh well! At least it sounds good!
I guess I have 500+. My old DJ collection. I've dragged those heavy ass boxes around for 20 years. I wonder if any are even worth a d*mn after all of the moves, heat, etc...
I have probably 300-400 LPs, I play them more often than my CDs because I have most of my best discs ripped onto my laptop. I have a late 80s Sony turntable that was probably one of the last mass-produced turntables they came out with. I replace the stylus and cartridge (twenty bucks) about once or twice a year. No sense in getting into the whole LP vs CD debate, people can quote sample rates and AB things all they want -- it still comes down to personal preference. Some albums sound better on LP, some sound better on a compact disc. And compact discs keep getting better, most of the ones mass produced in the late 80s and early 90s (classic rock, especially) were from 2nd and 3rd generation masters. And a lot of the albums I listen to aren't availible on CD anymore -- or they never were. I'm not talking about obscure art or no wave bands or anything like that -- just the older acts I like that slipped between the cracks. Like the Rumour (Graham Parker's band, without Graham) or Harvey Mandel. A lot of the stores I shop at in Chicago that sell "used" LPs aren't really selling used ones at all. Instead, they're selling albums the record company gave to radio stations and reviewers, and then were pawned off to record stores and never sold. I bought a couple of Nick Lowe and Ian Hunter albums a few years back that 8X10 black and white glossies and a placard with the "suggested tracks" to play on radio. The records were spotless, never played. All that for a buck fifty, and you can't buy these records on CD anymore.
My god....i mean 13,000 you better have one hell of a vinyl collection that you want to make sure nothing happens to it lol
If the vinyl is available I grab the vinyl. Otherwise I go with the cd. Here's a link to the store/company I work for: http://www.klangundkleid.ch/klang/
