The vinyl collecting thread...

Molly Hatchet - Silent Reign of Heroes (Gatefold, 2x vinyl, 180gram w/ picture sleeves)
Blessed Death - Killer or Be Killed
Anthrax - Persistence of Time
Trooper - s/t
The Amboy Dukes - Scottish Tea/You Talk Sunshine (7" single)
Ted Nugent - Where Do You Draw the Line (7" promo single)
Raven - Gimme Some Lovin' (7" promo single)
Saxon - Strong Arm of the Law (7" promo single)
Kiss/Ace Frehley - New York Groove/Snow Blind (7" single)

Krokus - Change Of Address
King Kobra - Thrill Of A Lifetime
Fastway - Waiting For The Roar
Michael Schenker - Assault Attack

All free. Krokus really sucks, I had never heard the album and that is just NOT Krokus. REALLY bad. King Kobra was warped and would not play. Michael Schenker was awesome, had never heard it. Getting ready to play Fastway but prob nowhere near as good as the first album.

And stay away from Change Of Address!

You will end up hating that Fastway album just as much as you hated Change Of Address.

I would agree with this statement. Verrrrry disappointing Fastway album.........

That MSG album kicks ASS!!!!! It's a heavy(and very good) one! Samurai, Desert Song, Broken Promises, Assault Attack, etc. That album is filled with great songs!

EXE - Stricken By Night
D.C. Lacoix - Crack of Doom
Brainstorm - Firesoul
Liege Lord - Burn to My Touch

You're right, it was complete crap too! Just played the whole thing. Won't be playing it again.

I might do that. I made a digital copy and honestly I'll never play it again.

Here's one I DIDN'T pick up, but may go back and get... Maiden Piece Of Mind. Saw it at FYE. It was 24.99. I thought "this is cheaper on Amazon for 19.99!". BUt after I left I realized it might end up being the same price once shipping is included.... So I may go back this weekend and pick it up. It is my favorite Maiden album.

Sign up for a trial of Amazon Prime and get free shipping for a month.

I disagree, I thought Change of Address was a pretty decent album.

Awesome!!!!!!!!

My copies of Piece of Mind, Powerslave and Live After Death arrived on Tuesday. And they sound fantastic! How do the singles sound?

I've only listened to Sanctuary so far, but it sounded great.

Did you pick up the Red Box as well?

Was this always Gatefold? It has been so long since i have seen an original copy I can't remember.

I only had time to play one song and it sounds really good. However, I get TONS of feedback on "When Eagles Dare". Now I know what the problem is, the speakers are too close to the turntable. But out of the hundreds of albums I have, this is the ONLY one that does it when trying to crank it up. The turntable sits on a coffee table and the speakers are underneath, so I know that is what is causing the vibrations. If I mess with the equalizer it tends to go away but come on, this is MAIDEN and deserves to be cranked LOUD!

Will mess with it more this weekend but glad to finally have my favorite Maiden album on vinyl.

Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones ( 1st Press, Black Vinyl )
Triptykon - Shatter EP (Grey Vinyl)
Triptykon - Melana Chasmata (Blk Vinyl)

Now if you will excuse me I need to hunt wild animals and forage for nuts and berries if I'm gonna eat for the rest of this month!

Some countries got the gatefold version on original release.... but not the US - pretty cool that the new release was gatefold.

BTW - I don't have any issues with the vinyl - it sounds great on my system.... it sounds BETTER than the still sealed vinyl Piece of Mind I picked up a few years ago

Again, I have only played one song and it sounds great. I have the original issue CD (well, the Columbia House Club version anyways) and the bottom end on the vinyl sounds much better than the CD. I'll play around with the feedback this weekend and also make a digital copy of this for my iPod.

CJSS - Praise The Loud
