parlophone1 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Purchased Hunky Dory Picture disc, David Bowie To my disappointment the LP is full of pops and clicks on both sides. The quality and dynamics of the recording would actually be very good if the record was made properly. So, I have a new decoration on the wall 😟 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I got a CD copy of Hunky Dory a couple of months ago, when the owners of one of the nearby record shops retired and everything was 50% off. I kept saving money until I ran out of money. Actually, the store closed after I only had time to clean out one of the two long aisles. The CD is great, and I wish I had bought it long ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Lucky you 😄 After the bad LP, I immediately got the 2015 Remastered CD. Agree, this is a good CD but on my system LP sounded better, just if not those awful noise. I am very fond of this album, in my opinion one of the best Bowie ever recorded. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 @parlophone1 New records can be very dirty so give it a double wash Picture discs for some reason are not as good in sound quality as black vinyl - based on the many posts I have read on the subject 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parlophone1 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Thanks, you are correct of course, I have read that also. That is why i avoid picture LPs, but this one is so pretty 😍. And there is a poster too. Out of just a few picture discs I have, I bought them new and none of them has issues being dirty and all of them are pretty quiet regarding acoustical noise. Also, I have not noticed them being particularly worse then the same albums I have in other formats. May be a bit "soft" sounding but nothing really to point at. Therefore I was actually surprised that this particular album has more dynamics on LP than on CD. That is the first in my collection. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Just spinnin some Eagles stuff lately. I've been thinkin about a couple tickets to see them in Columbus in April. I saw the show last September in Phoenix and knew they were doing a complete tour this year. I'm just wondering if they're taking everything they used on the 11 stop tour they did last year. If so it's going to be an amazing show. Of course there's a back story. A fem that slips out to jam nite was telling me she'd always loved them but never saw them. She slipped over for a spin of their "Live @ the Forum" box set the other day and was singing along with their songs so Mr Nice Guy stepped up. Found an excuse to hit them again and she's totally stoked to see them. Nah nuttin goin on but she still turns heads @ 60 so I guess it'll work. hahaha No clue what's going on the table later I'm still workin on my coffee! 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 @parlophone1 my Stevie Ray Vaughan with the twister on it is awful to listen to also, never bought another after that experience. Now the swirled psychedelic ones from recent years do sound really good, definitely better than most other LPs. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
