Mmmmm just bought this!

"Gordon" (25th anniversary edition) - Barenaked Ladies (first reaction; sounds great! I've been listening to the CD for 25 years ((which also means I've been listening to them longer than NIN... I came on with TDS)) and the it does sound better, the background vocals/effects mix pop out better...)
"Play" - Moby (first reaction; not unhappy with this either... sounds bit fuller than the 'o' CD and the effects pop out a bit more)

i got SO MANY RECORDS for x-mas, and my birthday is on tuesday next week, for which i'm sure i'll receive even more. gonna have to set aside some time to listen to everything (and i already had a backlog of a few things).
here's a few things i've listened to in the last week:
david bowie - aladdin sane
180g black vinyl
early b-day present from my wife's parents
tom waits - blood money
2017 remaster
bohren & der club of gore - dolores
2xLP
x-mas present from my wife
got a few really great titles for xmas as well this year - including add violence (finally), but this what made me freak out, like a lot. 40th anniversary remaster box set with hardcover essay/photo book
It seems I've picked up, like... 145 new (to me) records (singles, E.P.'s+L.P.'s) in the past year. I doubt next year will be as hectic in that regard... I need new shelves first.
And sure, here's my top 20 surprise finds this past year (sure, some of them I knew very well previously, but it was the quality of this particular release that justifies them being there)
(don't worry some being listed as Various Artists, it's just the way I like to format my titles within iTunes after digitizing the vinyl)

Those Throbbing Gristle 2017 releases, "The Second Annual Report - 40th Anniversary Edition"(white); "20 Jazz Funk Greats"(green) are worth picking up. They do sound a bit quiet, but the disclaimers on the insert/booklet explain why satisfactorily.
Just an FYI; if you're into chill Bleep.com has Kruder & Dorfmeister's The K&D Sessions back in stock after a long time. Seriously good compilation.
what's the explanation given? do they sound better than the pressings from a couple years ago?
that album got me into SO MUCH MUSIC it's ridiculous. a customer of mine had it on one day when i was doing work at his house and i asked what it was. it sent me down such a rabbit hole once i picked it up. owning it on vinyl would be pretty nice... (and $51 for 5xLPs is really good)
I'll quote the text;
"In order to enable the somewhat unusual sound on this record to be pressedand played back on standard equipment it has been found nescessary to cut
it at somewhat less than normal volume. Kindly compensate for this by
adjustment of volume on your playback system" (Second Annual Report)
"The quality and content of this album should not be compared to conventional commercial live or
studio recordings, The Throbbing Gristle repertoire consisted of a diverse range of intentional
(and unintentional) tonalities, timbres including tape hiss, phase error, white noise, distortion
clicks, pops, extreme high and low frequencies and occasionally silence.
Please bear this in mind when listening to these recordings." (20 Jazz Funk Greats)
And to go along with that, I'll say that pressings are fine... didn't have any issues with them.
