(Part 2) Best products from r/VinylReleases

Also, if you're an Amazon prime member, it looks like they've got a version (Edit: after calling Amazon they couldn't say whether or not it was the deluxe edition) for preorder for about $25 and free shipping. But if you've got a good record store locally (I don't) definitely hit that up :)

Like most people said, discogs is your place for reviews. Look up a specific pressing and there will often be reviews of that pressing.

For example, if you were looking to buy Pinkerton by Weezer on vinyl,you would look up discogs and learn that the MoFi and VMP pressings sound better than the 'back to black' pressings.

Generally, there are a few to avoid, but that's mostly in terms of labels and pressing plants. All albums "translate" well to vinyl, as in given the right pressing conditons, even a modern digitally recorded album will sound cool on vinyl. There are some purists who think that only analogue sourced music works on vinyl but they can jump in a lake. It's more about specific pressings.

Also, your turntable and setup will have a huge impact on how your record sounds. Go speak to the angry mob at r/vinyl for setup help.

​

Edit: shit, since I'm going too deep on this comment already, here are some setup tips if you need them. Stay away from Crosley. Don't buy a bluetooth turntable because... that's analogue -> digital and defeats the purpose. You may read that the incredibly popular Audio Technica ATLP 60 will DESTROY your records. It absolutely will not (if you play each record less than 1,000 times like a normal human). However, that does not mean it's a good turntable. I would avoid it and look for a more expensive turntable - the investment will be worth it in the end. I've heard the U-Turn tables are good for beginners but haven't used them personally. Pro-Ject tables, which I have used, are also good. You're also most likely going to need an amplifier/receiver. If your amplifier doesn't have a phono pre-amp (it will have "phono" written on the back, along with a grounding pin), you will need to pick up a seperate pre-amp. I recommend the Pro-Ject phono box.

It's a good album. But don't give in to these predatory practices of paying overinflated prices just because they used a pretty color.

It's $18 on Amazon right meow. Just get this one and enjoy the music while saving a bunch of money you can spend on another album.

Their live shows are really their bread and butter. I'd take a listen to the Central Park concert. My favorite from it has Warren Haynes (Gov't Mule, Allman Bros, etc) guesting on a song called Cortez, The Killer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwgIn3vobag

They just released Live at Red Rocks '95 this spring, which is a great set

As for studio material, their 1998 Before These Crowded Streets is their best work. Songs to listen to are The Stone, Pig, Spoon, Last Stop, and Crush. Their '96 album Crash was recently remastered and cut all analog, a fantastic sounding record

For good measure, here's the Amazon.fr links to the individual albums:

• Alive 1997 (single LP)
  
• Alive 2007 (double LP)
  
  The box set includes both albums - 1997 on silver vinyl, 2007 on white vinyl. It also includes a bonus single-sided 12" with the encore tracks on side A and an etching on side B, which comes on grey vinyl. It includes a 52-page photo book, a replica VIP-pass for the 2007 tour and a download card for both albums + a live video for Harder Better Faster Stronger. Not mentioned in the description, but from the picture it appears that the box also includes a slipmat.
  
  EDIT: US pre-order via Amazon is up now - $130

There's also a Japanese version (black vinyl only) that has 2 extra tracks that are pretty excellent

Yeah all cleared up. There is no hot rats sessions LP. Original cover, original recordings with the original track list pressed on pink vinyl as shown here

https://store.zappa.com/hot-rats-limited-edition-pink-vinyl.html

And here

https://www.amazon.com/Rats-50th-Anniversary-Translucent-Pink/dp/B07YTDXVZY

It’s looking like thesoundofvinyl is the only website showing the LP with the hot rats sessions cover. Therefore, it’s likely an error.

Looks like there is a preorder for the self titled album as well... which in my opinion, is vastly superior.

MOV is UK... you have to find an authorized retailer sometimes amazon sells them: To Love Somebody https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QG3L2HU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BPzXDbYBNKWFS

I search it with the barcode number in amazon.co.uk and guess what! It is available for pre-order and have an artist name TBC and not Ariana! Probably they are still fixing it! You cant find it by name or artist. The colour is half lavender have transparent.
