Trax repressed most of their classics around 1995. Most of the actual orginals are, and always were, completely unplayable having been pressed on cheapo recycled vinyl.

Not necessarily the case. First few thousand pressed of most Trax releases were done on OK vinyl, and it was only when there was a sudden demand for a record that Sherman started mixing in the old trainers and books into the vinyl vat (i've got a record on trax subsidiary, housetime, which has a chunk of what looks like a maths book sticking out of the grooves!)

you can always tell the original trax pressings as the font on the address is different and also they don't have a bar code.



can u feel it / washing machine = glorious

I got SFA's Phantom Power and Love Kraft albums in a charity shop yesterday for the sum total of £1.25...

On the Acen score, I've looked for mine, but I can't find it (-I really do need to sort my records into some kind of order... ). Anyway, it's Trip II The Moon - Part 2 (The Dark Side), which I don't think is a particularly rare one.

perhaps. this was in a stack of records that were clearly part of a collection though, of which the latest releases were 1992ish.

i wonder how the original trax tunes became such classics, loved by people all over the world, if you could only get unplayable versions before 1995?

Because that isn't true, there were a few bad pressings but not enough to generate the accusation of being poor and unplayable prior to 1995. And I doubt that the majority of people who bought the original pressings would have thought a bad pressing to be insurmountable - nothing that a little more weight on the headshell would not sort out.

Their becoming 'classics' is undoubtedly due to the sound and the creativity of the artists on the label - and it is good to see that it can still be found reasonably cheaply.

You really are having a good run with the tuneage at the moment you lucky fella!!

 

[killer b]

it does seem to be pretty good at the moment, but there's rarely a week goes by without me picking up a few sweet nuggets of musical gold.

i can sniff 'em out...

 

[Fictionist]

You purveyor of fine vinyl! I hope it lasts for a while, it is great to find bits without having to pay silly prices.

 

[killer b]

running out of space...

 

[Fictionist]

Well, in the great scheme of things having a sofa, or a table, or a bed, or wardrobe or even food isn't actually that important when faced with the possibility of giving a good home to vinyl!

 

[killer b]

You have to keep at it, dig dig dig! And then you'll find something that will make you smile, maybe even laugh, and you then have the joy of taking it home to play.

Keep the faith Rev.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

I try ... I do try ...

 

[Fictionist]

[DeadManWalking]

I was given a bag of records yesterday and was looking forward to getting them as they included a John Martyn LP, had a look at it and it features and is produced by fucking Phil Collins. The bag also contained a couple of Bob Marley LPs which I've already got and two Talking Heads LPs.
