How do you figure? Not on anything that's going for 3 bucks, I can assure you of that. The only pressing that's going to have the "original sound" is a first pressing, and even those are copies of the master disc. But first copies will have the most faithful reproduction to the master tapes, that much is true.

However, as I said, you're not going to find a first pressing out there that's not enormously expensive, much more than the 25 bucks you'll pay for this deluxe edition. Everything else is going to be a second (at best!), third, fourth, and later pressing.

However, for the deluxe reprint (as is true for many 180 reprints), the engineers went back to the original masters. So what you get on the new reprint is something much like the quality you'd have gotten with a first issue, maybe better, since the quality of the vinyl is no doubt better than the shit they were pressing LPs with in the 70s.

I don't have We are the Radio. How does it compare with the rest?

I do have Take It... On blue and red vinyl (one each, double LP), no less.

I just ordered these today. It's going to be expensive, because all of the albums (besides the SY ones) are imports.

Arrived in the mail today: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (3CD Version)

I just got Earth - Bees make honey...
and Swell - 41

Just pre-ordered '!!!Dig Lazarus Dig!!!'

Same here. Deluxe, or standard?

Have a Nice Life - Deathconsciousness

awesome awesome album, two discs too. if you order it then it comes with an 80 page booklet explaining the theory and philosophy that inspired the album.

I have this, but haven't gotten around to listen to it. Anybody else hear it yet?

Deluxe of course! I'm surprised you need to ask! :)

Listen to it, amazing album.
More melodic than Earths earlier releases.

My latest additions in the collection:

Earth - The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Scull LP
Earth - Hibernaculum LP
Switchblade - S/T tour 2004 white 7''
Kongh - Counting Heartbeats 2xLP
Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris 3x10''
Pet Genius - S/T CD

I'd like to get that, but I already have the one CD version, so I'd only be getting it for the third CD and the booklet.

It sort of reminds me of the last Tomahawk album only it's good and has no vocals

Isn't anything (CD) arrived in the mail today

Barrington Levy-Too Expirienced
& I got Tijuana Voices with brass-Sing Merry Christmas as a gift...

Vinyl copy of Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) to replace my CD.

VG-plus vinyl copy of Magical Mystery Tour w/ booklet, black/rainbow Cap. label, to replace my so-so Apple reissue.

I don't like doing that very often--buying albums to replace albums. But sometimes it's worth it. In this case, for some reason, the vinyl copy of Shiny Beast sounds a bit silkier than the CD, and there's more artwork, including copies of the Captain's drawings/paintings that aren't included in the CD packaging, as well as a complete lyric sheet.

As for MMT, I now have the booklet, and a first pressing. Plus, the sound is warm and "tube-y," kind of like the white album, and beats the crap out of the Apple label reissue.

From my people at POPS:
also Charlie Parker & All Star Quintet/Sextet Volume 2

Pop's?

All except the Antonio Carlos Jobim, which was from Half Price records.
Yes sir, I guess you could say I got my dig on.

Sing, Sing, Death, House - The Distillers

cds:

Sunn O))) - ØØ Void (Japanese Expanded 2CD Edition)
Incapacitants - El Shanbara Therminosis

Arrival in the mail via a Barnes&Noble gift card expenditure: Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription. Finally, my first copy. It's great but I can't believe how they've copied people like The Flaming Lips and Brian Jonestown Massacre. ;)

These albums arrived today:
Sonic Youth - Confusion Is Sex
Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain
Einstuerzende Neubauten - Kollaps

I bought Palace-Viva Last Blues last week. Great stuff.

Dalek-Abandoned Language (pretty good) cd
