Room to Roam by The Waterboys, our joint Valentine’s prezzy was the vinyl remastered at 45rpm. I am sure one of you gurus will explain why it has been remastered at 45 instead of 33rpm.
Anyway, it sounds amazing and so good to hear those beautiful songs, which mean a lot to the pair of us.
I have no idea why they did that, but in any form it's one of my absolute favourite records. Jules |

In lay terms, it can give the music more attack, enhanced detail. I'n not a fan of it particularly, but i have one or 2. Basically, the grooves are wider so the dynamic range is wider. |

Thanks for the explanation, yes it is a double record. I'm not enough of a buff to tell the difference, but it sounds fine. Just have to get up and down more often.  |

Tracey Chapman's eponymous 1988 album. Even after all these years I find this an affecting and enjoyable album.
Takes me back to my college days. A wonderful album, from a great time! Thirded! |

"Poor people gonna rise up and take their share. Cause finally the tables are starting to turn." Well, demonstrably, no they are not in either case. Sadly. |

It is a holiday here today so I'm listening to 3 new vinyl records purchased the other day in my new favorite record store, located in Hoboken New Jersey. I bough a classic Buck Owens & The Buckaroos album-I Don't Care. it was actually sealed and seems new, and comes with a nifty little certificate of authenticity card proclaiming it to be from Buck's personal vault in Bakersfield. Must look up what is behind that.
Next up are two from Fairport-In Real Time, and Angel Delight. Both have long been in the collection on CD, and the cassette version of In Real Time was my first Fairport record. The copy of Angel Delight is interesting in that it was released by A&M Records. Inside the gatefold is a garish yellow color, with a photo of the boys among a maze of statues, and an essay 'By Way Of Explanation' by Jim Bickhart..a fairly routine synopsis of Fairport up to that point and some comments about various tracks on the album. In any case, two more for the memorabilia Fairport collection!
