Re: Guns N' Roses Vinyl LPs
I was talking to one of my old DJ chums tonight about the bygone era of us being amature DJ's using vinyl, reminiscing about the old, long gone shops we used to hang out in, and how all our records would be scattered around town cause there was loads of our generation into djing and we would all borrow and swap records from each other.
Nowadays you dont need to leave your bedroom to get whatever the hell you want, its a download away... but then you had make do with whatever you could afford out a shop or just plain beg borrow or steal from friends.
Anyway he mentioned getting stuff out the library and it reminded me that when I was a youngster in 1988, I only had a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or fucking 5th hand recording of AFD on a cassette, it never even had the last 3 songs on it.
But I remember I would go down to the local library, to the music section where they had hundreds and hundreds of records of vinyl in racks, me and my friends would dig out AFD on vinyl and just look at the cover and inlay sleeve with all the photos on it... but the librarian would never let us take it out on loan cause we were so young and it was considered to explicit for our young ears... so we had to just make do with gazing at the damn thing whenever we were in there lol.

Huh? It's a frequency issue. Vinyl reproduces higher high's and lower low's than CD can regardless of how many track are on each side.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for less songs per side and a higher mastering speed (ala, the Foo Fighters vinyl release of Wasting Light or the recent Metallica 45rpm remasters) but I promise you, a regular old 12" 33 1/3 master is worlds in front of the same recording on CD.
Nah I disagree there, I used to use vinyl all the time for djing and 12" albums with multiple tracks were worthless, mabye the frequencys were superior but when it came down to it, they were just to damn quiet. It was 12" or 10" singles all the way, cd's were always better than those old lp's.

Didn't even think about trying to track that down but I should. 45rpm sounds even better than 33 1/3. Is is the whole Chinese track or is the intro shaved off?
whole track.

Re: Guns N' Roses Vinyl LPs
best of luck. it isn't impossible to find, but the last few i've seen have sold for like $60, which kinda sucks that they've gotten that expensive.
Re: Guns N' Roses Vinyl LPs
They haven't done a remaster of Lies like the AFD and UYI ones. I would just look at getting a US or UK/German pressing. The vinyl quality should be about the same. If you get a whacky zany pressing from somewhere else e.g. South America somewhere sometimes they used thinner poorer quality vinyl to save costs so for audio quality I would steer clear of those just in case.
Try and get the first uncensored cover too where it has the "Wife beating..." and "Ladies welcome t the dark ages" comments on it. No particular reason other than I think it's visually better than the Lies Lies Lies censored one. The tits on the girl on the inner sleeve aren't censored then either
