Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for December 02, 2021

Vinyl does have a more mellow sound.

They have one of my favorites: Dusty Springfield.

I have lots of vinyl- albums and 45’s. All of Barry White’s.

“Live in London” by Leonard Cohen. Recorded in 2008. One of the all time great concert albums and videos. A must for any lover of great songwriting and brilliant musicianship.

Track 7 of Todd Rundgren’s LP: Something/Anything…..Sounds of the Studio. TR give you a lesson on “hiss.”Those were the days….1972.

And make sure that there are no scratches on the album to cause that skipping sound!

I’ve got a huge collection of vinyls- LPs and 45s. Now I think I’ll play them again!

Neil Diamond, John Denver, Linda Ronstadt. . .Patti Page, Doris Day, Tony Bennett. . .sis and I have been going through our vinyl collection. . .some excellent, some sappy. . .Dinah Shore, Rosie Clooney, Jo Stafford . . .Rodgers and Hammerstein, Ferrante and Teischer. . .

Hallelujah!!

Is a slipmat another name for a turntable? Never heard that expression.

‘So Long, Marianne’ was an incredible album by Leonard Cohen. I can imagine them listening to ‘Suzanne’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svitEEpI07E not so much ‘The Partisan’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RBVJ5SzpIk

What! No Led Zepplin ?

So, pulled my Crosley out of the closet finally and set it up – the turntable is running fast. No pitch adjustment. John and Paul sound a little bit like Alvin and Theodore. Argh!

Mine are predominantly Original cast Broadway recordings, along with pop/rock 60s/70s in a mix of 45s and lps. I completely wore out the Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road LP and had to replace it yrs ago. Oh but I do have “picture disc” LPs of Strawberry Shortcake and the Care Bears from when the kids were little in the early 80s, <3

Slipmat? We called it a turntable…100 years ago..

i am STILL in love with Dusty Springfield…My all time fave recording artist EVER!….( You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me…. The Look of Love… I Only Want to Be With You…Son of a Preacher Man….)

She Really was the Queen of Blue-Eyed Soul….May She Sing in Peach for all the Angels to Hear……

Every vinyl album Mario Lanza ever recorded.

Because you’re mine…the brightest star I see…looks down,My Love,and envies me…..

Was a DJ and broadcast tech for a year, 1962 – 1963. A tip or two. Those of you who have lots of vinyls you love, beware!

1) Never, ever spin a vinyl disk backward with the needle in contact, unless it is a turntable designed for cuing (IE: the needle is mounted perfectly vertical), or the needle tip will dig into the record surface and damage the groove.

2) Always store vinyl records on edge. Never stack them. Most especially, never let them fall over at an angle and remain that way for longer than it takes to set them back up on edge. Use a heavy object (like a felt-covered brick) as a disk-end to keep the disks fully upright. Otherwise the disks warp or ‘waffle’ and become unplayable.

3) Run the turntable for a few minutes every week or so. If left sitting for extended periods, the motor spindle which drives the idler wheel, which in turn drives the underside of the turntable platter, will make a permanent dent into the idler wheel tire. That will result in a ‘thump’ sound from the table and a repeating ‘wow’ sound in the recording. The only fix for this is to replace the idler wheel.

I have records of Gilbert and Sullivan, classical music (standard Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, etc.), Christmas music (Reader’s Digest collections from the 60’s I think), Norwegian folk music, pop music from the 1970s, comedy albums, folk music from the 60’s. My tastes kind of wander.

I’ve still got the Vinyl, but haven’t had a working Turntable in years.

The Elvis Xmas album is in heavy rotation.

I have no CDs – if it is not vinyl I am not interested. I kept telling husband that vinyl sounded better (CDs sound too separated in the sounds – they do not mesh into one music) and that one day vinyl would make a comeback – apparently I was right.

Ahhhh, but they are coming back! This year is the FIRST year since 1982 that Vinyl has sold more than CD.
