Sweet haul of new LP's from Virgin Mega Store

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

Since I am awaiting a Raven One table/Phantom arm/Hyperphono cable/Tron Seven phono stage to be delivered in the next few weeks, I decided to stop into the local Virgin Store and see what vinyl was on hand. Usually I am too cheap to buy expensive vinyl, preferring used jazz these days, but I figured I'm spending so much on hardware, what about some new software? Since most will be sealed till the weekend, if anyone has any comments - I'm all ears and can return anything sealed.
I picked up new copies of:
Tom Waits: Real Gone & Alice
Sufjan Stevens: Seven Swans - the sticker says it's pressed on Audiophile grade vinyl,
plus has a bonus 7" EP. I bought Illinios on LP a few weeks back and it sounds nice
even though it's a digital recording. I actually worked on a live concert film of his
that will one day be released, and got into him as a result of working with the footage
to make the camera angles shot on video and HD look similar to the angles shot on 16MM film.
Radiohead - OK Computer - I've read decriptions here calling it one of the few perfect
records ever released.
Donald Fagan - Morph the Cat - not his best work but I read it is all analog?
George Harrison - Living in the Material World- reissue _ I really like all things must pass - but am not familar with this LP
Bob Dylan - Modern Times - I hope it sounds better than the CD.

It was a bit more expensive than ordering online, but they have a buyers card that gives discounts - similar to saving the tax. Plus theres something about having the LP in your hand and just buying it - that I probably woulndn't have out of a catalog.

Nice! (And Re: "Morph The Cat") - soundnut 04:34:17 04/27/07 (3)

I'm sorry. I'm a Fagen fan and "Morph" does nothing for me. - HenryH 06:40:06 04/27/07 (2)

I have issues with SD's "Everything Must Go". Is Morph in the same style? (NT) - ParloFax 07:17:24 04/27/07 (1)

I really can't say, not having heard EMG. But Morph is - HenryH 09:20:42 04/27/07 (0)
