Sweet Savage - Killing Time

Judas Priest - Killing Machine

This is making it very difficult for me not to post Priest and AC/DC songs... AC/DC - Jailbreak

Well then... Iron Maiden - The Prisoner

Thank to this thread, I just learned that they're also planning a Mac product (Next). I'll be curious to see that, but I'm expecting it'll be something aimed at a different segment of the market and not a full fledged DAW.

Judas Priest - Prisoner of your Eyes

Judas Preist - Electric Eye

David Bowie - Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud

Nine Inch Nails - Adrift and at Peace

Iron Maiden - Drifter

The Cure - Plainsong

Thank you for that! One of the first Priest songs I ever heard.

I plan on getting everything up until Unmasked. But that's long term. I also got this one, which I'm sure you would appreciate. Faith and Pornography are in my cart.

Never liked it quite as much but, oh well.... Voivod - The Nile Song

Voivod - Astronomy Dominé

Funny you mention that because I realized earlier this morning that I too draw a line, though for me it's somewhere in the early eighties. And there's a few 70's Elvis records that I am really looking forward to hearing on vinyl. That is, on clean vinyls and on a proper turntable. I have plenty of old ones with all the clicks and pops that sound fantastic on a cheap little record player with a 3 inch speaker... And genre is also a factor. I have no interest in listening to Master to Puppets or Reign in Blood or Powerslave on vinyl, even if that's how I originally heard them. So I guess I get what you mean. As for half speed... I bought this copy of Creatures of the Night on Amazon. Unlike Black in Black or Love Gun, it's not one that I felt any pressing need to listen to on vinyl. I think it's probably better on CD. But it was on sale, and it was my first heavy metal album back in the days, and there was that half-speed label, so I got curious. I've not yet had the time to listen to it, and I don't own a non half-speed copy to compare, but I'm curious to hear if there's anything I can pick up. But for this type of album/sound, I believe that digital is the way to go.

Sorry. ??

Type O Negative - Summer Breeze

My bad, mate.

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Call Me the Breeze

Temple of the Dog - Call Me a Dog

Scatterbrain - Don't Call Me Dude

David Bowie - All the Madmen

Iron Maiden - Can I Play with Madness.

This morning before putting on that new 45 RPM version of Sad Wings, I did have that knee jerk reaction… Like, ugh, I’m going to have to flip that record every couple of songs and then change discs altogether. Why not listen to something else? But in a sense, it helps me focus and appreciate that moment. Without trying to get all philosophical about it, that little effort keeps me grounded in the act of listening to music. It’s not simply something that’s happening - I am actively listening to this album. And even once I am done, again, action is required on my part. Draws boundaries. But that’s the way my brain is geared. And that’s but one way to listen to music. Come my night off, I’m in the studio with a bottle of red wine or two and enjoying the convenience of digital audio. And to be honest, my favorite version of the aforementioned Priest album is a Japanese master ripped from a CD that lives in my digital library. But I still had a great time lying on my back with the cans on listening to the vinyl after work.
