| Vinyl: Essentials?
Just acquired a record player today, nothing to play on it however. Today I
went out and bought A Love Supreme as it was cheap. Anyone else got
any recommendations about what should be necessary to own on vinyl? | | 1 |  | John Coltrane
A Love Supreme
Bought this today! Gonna give it a spin tonight, hoping it sounds just as fresh as it
does on CD. Possibly the greatest album eve made so wither way it's gonna be
better than almost anything else! | | 2 |  | Can
Tago Mago | | 3 |  | Pavement
Slanted and Enchanted
Had a chance to pick this up today as well as ITAOTS but I didn't have enough
money for both these and the Coltrane. I get money soon though so these will be
the next ones I buy. | | 4 |  | Joy Division
Closer
Getting a closer (no pun intended) look at that depressing cover while playing this
morbid masterpiece will really drive home the points Curtis wanted to make. | | 5 |  | Radiohead
Kid A
It's Radiohead. And their best. On vinyl. Say no more right? | | 6 |  | Bob Dylan
Blonde on Blonde
After hearing my Dad's old tapes of Dylan, his lyrics + the crackle = amazement.
Can't wait to collect all his great works on vinyl myself! | | 7 |  | Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band
Trout Mask Replica
This on vinyl? Even more of a head fuck. What a delight for the neighbours! | | 8 | | Animal Collective
Merriweather Post Pavillion
Wonder if the cover works on a larger scale? Talk about a trip! | | 9 |  | Nick Drake
Pink Moon
As with Dylan, I've heard Drake + the vinyl crackle. But I wanna discover it all over
again myself, and alone so I can have a cry to the man and his sad tales... | | 10 |  | Tim Buckley
Happy Sad
Seen this in a seaside town months before I got the record player. I need this man.
I love me some Buckley! | | 11 |  | Miles Davis
Bitches Brew
Because more Miles is always good! | | 12 |  | Pink Floyd
The Dark Side of The Moon
Maybe by getting it on record I can discover the depths of it's genius properly.
Gonna get Piper, Animals and Atom Heart Mother too ofc. | | 13 |  | Led Zeppelin
Physical Graffiti
Especially for the interchangeable windows!! In Through The Out Door apparently
has 6 different covers each showing a different perspective so that'd be cool to
have a different one than I have on CD also. | | 14 |  | Weezer
Pinkerton
Its a classic album. Beautiful cover. Why not? | | 15 | | Curtis Mayfield
Superfly
It is one of the best produced albums ever made. And besides, I'm guessing James
Carr will be hard to find and I ain't getting What's Goin On to make up my soul
collection. Looking into getting some Sly and the Family Stone as well as some
Aretha! | | 16 |  | Black Sabbath
Master of Reality
Need some Sabbath on my turntable man! | | 17 | | Frank Zappa
Freak Out!
Cheapest available out of his classics. Gonna be immense hearing this on vinyl! | | 18 |  | David Bowie
Heroes
Because classic Bowie is essential. As is classic Waits, Kate Bush, Hendrix, Mitchell
and Robert Wyatt! | | 19 |  | King Crimson
In The Court of The Crimson King
Also: Yes, Rush, Deep Purple, Camel, Doors. anything to add to this trip I'm gonna
be going on! #progginitup | | 20 |  | Sonic Youth
Daydream Nation
If I find this cheap it's gettin bought. Fucking classic! | |

10.06.12 | Camels first four, rush from 2112 to signals, the whole KC discography, low and scary monsters bowie, led zep 3 and 4 much better on vinyl than cd, many maiden albums a lot better on vinyl, um...damn lots more piss on the cd version | DarkSideOfLucca
10.06.12 | I have 19, 16, 12 and 5- would love to hear 9 though | menawati
10.06.12 | o ye hendrix sounds much better on old vinyl too, all the cds ive got of jimi are too thin the old pressings were great | ViperAces
10.06.12 | Anything by Neil Young lol. | DarkSideOfLucca
10.06.12 | Thats awesome-I have Are You Experienced? and that sounds so goddamn classy. Genesis, Yes and Jethro Tull are all sweet as well. Need more Zeppelin in my life. | menawati
10.06.12 | zep is great on vinyl, something like the drums on levee breaks sound much better | DarkSideOfLucca
10.06.12 | I'm stealing your list idea and making my own vinyl collection list in a little bit lol sorry, fair warning | YankeeDudel
10.06.12 | These are all good choices i reckon
Im listening to Peter Gabriel 3 now so thats a good one | Trebor.
10.06.12 | Pixies - Doolittle
Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique | cuki92
10.06.12 | cheers guys!
Spiderland and Loveless would be epic yeah, I should've had more albums on this list.
Doolittle was available today as were a few Hendrix.
Would love to hear Rush on vinyl too! | menawati
10.06.12 | the older rush classics arent bad on cd cuki as i think they were AAD but those later ones that were all tinny on cd do sound a lot better on vinyl | HighandDriving
10.06.12 | My best vinyl is Hot Cross - Cryonics | cuki92
10.06.12 | 2112 onwards as you said earlier are worth getting on vinyl though yeah? some classics there like; A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and Signals. Such consistence! What a great band! | menawati
10.06.12 | all the cds up to grace dont sound bad at all cuki, at least to my ears, like i said maybe its the mastering, but when they went fully digital a lot of the cds are horrible and the vinyls do sound fuller | DominionMM1
10.06.12 | if you can afford it, i'd recommend getting some neurosis. | cuki92
10.06.12 | I've got most of their discog on CD, is it a noticable jump up in quality on vinyl?? | DominionMM1
10.06.12 | yes | cuki92
10.06.12 | Nice! Gave Through Silver and Blood a spin last night and I think it may be their best. | DominionMM1
10.06.12 | tsib will cost you an arm and a leg on vinyl. but this won't:

essential, well if you like indie music anyways. Classic. Looks so nice on vinyl, too. one of the few vinyl records I own | Polyethylene
12.06.12 | I have 5, 8, 12 and 19 | FadedSun
