I’ve always thought it sounds a bit thin/tinny/quiet

Listening to the 45RPM Rumours right now and I honestly can’t overstate how amazing it sounds. So much separation and clarity, incredible to think this album is over 40 years old

Me too! I literally never play it.

Treat yourself to the remaster.
It’s fucking amazing!

Edit: I have both pressings and the difference is incredible.

Ooooooo tempting. Reckon I could flog my original pressing to cover the cost…

#366

It was quite cheap recently on a few shops too iirc.
Aye ditching the old copy would recoup a bit of the cost.

I definitely now have the ambition to get hold of this sooner or later. Already have Rumours on standard 33, but it’s one of my favourite albums, so would love to be able to hear it in this format.

Had Slowdive’s Outside Your Rom and EP5 arrive today. Looking forward to listening to each of them at 33 instead of the 45 they were cut at.

I picked up the double when they toured it acoustically a couple of years back, and it’s a gorgeous-sounding thing.

Currently got the 1st Interpol record on which sounds flat as fuck, had read that the pressings were rubbish and it’s really not wonderful.

Since I got my little pot of stylus cleaner gel I’ve been listening to some of the better pressings I’ve got. I put on the half speed mastered Tin Drum by Japan this morning and as @bornin69x says above that sounded utterly glorious!

Just finished In Rainbows which sounded a whole lot better when I remembered to put it on 45rpm!

The same mastering is available as a single disc too. This is the discogs page, it’s going for literally 10% the price of the 45RPM edition

Something I just noticed - Joyce Manor’s last album is so incredibly short that it’s a single disc at 45RPM and still has five songs per side. That band do not fuck about with nonsense like “repeating choruses”

I know you don’t want to talk about these ones but they are funny. Seems a gimmick rather than there being any benefit? I’ve got a Dillinger Escape Plan live 7" from the dimitri days which does this and its just a faff :smiley:

Notice!
Due to the intricacies of the mastering of this 7", all songs may not be playable on all turntables.
Track A1 begins like a normal 7".
Track A2 begins slightly after the starting point for track A1.
Track B1 begins like a normal 7" but ends on a locked groove in the middle of the vinyl.
Track B2 plays from the inside out and ends in the locked groove in the middle of the vinyl.

Yeah it was a gimmick. Monty Python had one and I think Jack White has used it a bit along with the other crazy stuff mentioned above

Only have one or two 7s with the 2 different spirals and the Bside that plays is ‘random’, one I’d fed The Shins.

I vaguely remember nobody’s favourite vinyl gimmick lad Jack White releasing a track that had the split groove midway through so the same song had 2 possible endings.

Ah I thought the one I remembered was a 10" that was something like 45 one side, 33 the other, with a 78 lock groove under the label and then a double spiral on track one so you never knew how it would start but the other stuff was the same

#378

Ah that might be Lazaretto.
Jack White eh, he can do just about anything with vinyl these days except record and press a decent solo album to it.

I mentioned this a while ago, but it hadn’t arrived. This isn’t the vinyl that is strange per se. It’s the fact that it comes in a sealed ‘coffin’ box. Inside is a test press of the latest LP by The Spectres

I don’t have a hammer, so can’t open the bastard though.
