anodyne33 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I have Time Fades Away on vinyl, the only Neil Young album not to be released on cd. Same here baby! God I miss working at a used record store. And for what it's worth, I have YHF, BT and AGIB on LP... and I'll preorder SBS on LP as well, but I see no reason to spend sickening amounts of money on Summerteeth or AM or any of the UT stuff just 'cause it's cool to have it on record. If you think LPs sound better than CDs you are either 1)the owner of a pretty serious home stereo 2)high or 3)experiencing psychoacoustic effects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's funny how when I was buying records as a teenager I fretted about keeping the records clean and buying dust-sleeves etc., and how I loved the perfect sound of the CD. Now that I'm older, I miss the scratchiness. Plus, I think some records do sound better on vinyl, somehow warmer. Doobie Brothers' Toulouse Street is a perfect example. But other albums are so much better suited to CD, even classic ones like Dark Side of the Moon, you don't have to get up out of the beanbag to flip it over, etc. Finally, I think the CD has been bad for music in one key way: the fact that it holds 80 mins of music is forcing bands to feel like they have to fill all that time, often with bad songs. Ten songs on two 20 minute sides seems about the right amount of time, thanks enough geezing for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt R. Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I read in an interview that Jeff prefers the vinyl of A Ghost is Born, as its seperated in four parts, his original intention. http://www.filter-mag.com/index.php?c=2&lid=46 luckily, I got my A Ghost is Born vinyl at his last solo show and was able to have it autographed!
