Expecting Rain

or not....... depends what you´ve got to play your fuzzy warbels on,if you got one of those plastic ones with a built in speaker you wont hear it. and you miss some other bits an pieces of the music aswell.........

Bit late jumping into this one, but whatever happened to the 'Linear Tracking' turntables which were areound late '70s, which allegedly had perfect alignment and thus eliminated this stylus echo?
I know I had one before the 'death of vinyl', now in resurrection.

Goy the vinyl myself today. Loved it after first play and great cover art and sleeve notes!

Wow , this thread is getting popular .

The guy who will fix the old record player is coming tomorrow . I actually have found 4 record players , and none of them works!
I will trust him to tell me what their problems are , which one is the best one and how much it will cost to repair each one .

I think i'll just have the best one fixed , if it's not too expensive .
Buying a new one is also a possibility , but ( what the hell ) i have four of them !

In the meantime ,
a friend is sending me three Dylan vinyls from the US
I can't wait to receive them .
I also have found two local made records ( Street Legal and Nashville Skyline ) at my aunt's house , and she said she didn't want them so gave them to me .


Thanks guys , for all your recommendations. I knew i could trust some Bobcats

I want to frame some album art, but frames seem to be quite expensive.

are you getting the new release coming out this month?

i listened to a copy at the record store and i was unimpressed. i think better findings are available in rare recordings here.

for vinyl, might as well go for the best sound experience vs/ rareties...

you have used three magical words in a thread topic: Bob+Dylan+vinyl,

would you expect anything less?

I'm still kicking myself for not "buying-it-now" the half speed master that was on ebay a few months back. When I decided I wanted it, it was gone. Not that I don't have three copies of BOTT in different variants of the LP sleeve....

Yes, that is the one. I pre-ordered it on Amazon.de and now I am pretty curious if I will get it tomorrow. It was supposed to be released tomorrow, however the pre-order button on the German Amazon site has vanished and it says that the article is not available. I guess either their stocks are empty or the release has been postponed.

So far I have not received any shipping confirmation; so probably it is the latter ...

i have that coming too: i ordered BOTT, BIABH, & BT. if these sound good i will probably hunt down the BoB release. cannot wait!

Amazon just wrote me that they have problems obtaining the BOTT vinyl and asked me whether I am still interested in this article...

Hey Johanna, out of interest can you remember how much it was going for? Those puppies are rare as hen's teeth, I imagine the seller was after some SERIOUS bucks.....

I'm waiting for a fair sum of money to arrive in my bank account at some point in the next few months and as soon as it does I'm straight onto Ebay to hunt down L&T and TOOM, I'll see you all in the bidding wars

I think it was 20€, might have been 40€.... nowhere near as much as you'd expect someone to price a buy-it-now offer.

Can we do a timeshare on them?

Even if they sold it for 40 they were either in the business of Dylan philanthropy or just an idiot. You could put a 1 before that 40 and still have had a serious bidding war afoot.

@ BB - yes, but I get them on Friday and Saturday nights to soundtrack my old man's debauchery dude.

With hindsight I can't figure it out. They knew what they had because they clearly put 'half speed master' in the title/description of the ebay offer. As you say, it could have gone very much higher had they had an actual auction for it, not just the 'buy-it-now' option. From the photos, it looked to be in good condition. Of course, it had been snapped up by the time I made up my mind about it.

yikes, i have not received such an email, when did you put your order in? i placed it in january. i think they are due to come in next week.

A near mint time out of mind is available locally for $100....should I plunge???

If you're questioning it and have the dough, I say do it. The CD can be nailed down for about 5 bucks though, so you gotta really want it...

You can never have enough TOOM, surely.

You are probably right. And don't call me surely...

think about it kid but don't ask no surly

You goin' to South America?

I wish.
