record collection

[illusion_is_mine]

 Hey guys!

     As promised in the previous post I'm posting pics of albums in my record collection.  The most recent album is the Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" remastered edition that came out last year.  In my opinion it doesn't get any better than listening to music on vinyl.  Only then do you get the full experience that the artist wanted you to hear when they recorded it in the studio.  I will say some remastered albums are hit or miss, but for the most part the one's I own sound pretty good.  Considering when some of these albums came out I think some of them needed remastering (ei: Unknown Pleasures for example.)  

 

     I will mention that all my Siouxsie And The Banshees albums are the recordings from the 80's.  The singles being a UK pressing, and the others are US pressings that came out in the 80's.  I guess my favorite record to listen to would be "Kaleidoscope" by far.  They really changed the face of post-punk, and gothic rock when they made that record,  It's also the record that showed a dramatic change in their style up until that point.  I found "Tinderbox" on ebay from someone who was selling it from their own collection, and for a decent price no less.  Anyone who collects vinyl will tell you it's a really expensive hobby, and it is.  Ebay, used book stores, and vintage shops have become my best friend when it comes to collection vinyl.  I'm still very much new to the vinyl thing, but I really enjoy older music that's not always available on CD so that's why I started collecting vinyl.  Plus having the really nice sleeve art that you can only get with the vinyl releases is something that I've always thought was unique.  I'm still a noob at this record collecting business, and I have a few more albums than these but these are the most recent one's I've added.  If you want to know my favorite out of these then I'll just say I can't choose.  They're all amazing to me in their own way.  Anyway on to the pics. :D

 

(Joy Divison: Unknown Pleasures originally released in 1979.  This is a 2013 remastered version, but the sleeve and the LP look almost identical to the original 79 pressing which is really nice.)

(The Cure - Disintegration originally released in 1989 this remastered version is from 2010)


(inner sleeve.  I also forgot to mention it's a double LP release with two vinyls)


(Siouxsie And The Banshees: Tinderbox released in 1986 and this US pressing is by Geffen Records.)

(inner sleeve with credits and a picture of the band.)  



(Siouxsie and the Banshees: Kaleidoscope released in 1980)


(The vinyl along with the inner sleeve.  My mom said they look scary...lol XD!)


(The back with the tracklist.  I thought the picture was really cool.)



 
(The Cure: Three Imaginary Boys originally released in 1979 this remastered version from Russia was released in 2010 I believe.)  


(Siouxsie and the Banshees: Once Upon A Time/The Singles released in 1981.  This is a UK pressing since it has the Polydor logo on the LP but I'm sure it's like a 2nd pressing or something like that.) 


(Inner sleeve with lyrics, and Siouxsie's face makes up the image in the background.)
