I am not into Vinyl, it is not a super enviromental friendly format, and as well a known health risk. I am too young for it be nostalgic for me, I feel like a hipster if I started to collect them. I would collect Tapes, if it wasn’t because my 90’s Walkman died like 2 years ago to battery leak.
My dad however, has quite a collection from his youth, he had a job in record and electronics store, while he studied. He don’t listen to it, as my mom don’t like the more weird obscure bands, and heavier rock.
But the most lol, was when he had to replace the record player 5 years ago, and he complained over the construction quality of the new ones.
Ahhh…but vinyl has superior audio quality to any other format out there, especially digital. I didn’t believe it until I heard it with my own ears at a specialty listening event a friends dad had years ago. His turntable, amp, speaker systems cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and are all crafted by hand. It’s crazy because on one record that I listened to there of the London Philharmonic doing Carmen you could hear the tube (train) running under the studio at the time of recording. A record from Miles Davis sounded like he was standing with me in the room. We all had the opportunity to bring something to test the system. I personally brought the same song on CD, 24k gold digitally remastered disc, tape, and vinyl so I could compare the different formats. The vinyl sounded 1000X better than any of the other formats. I couldn’t believe my ears and I’ve never heard anything more amazing.

Excited for this.
So - the Last Rights album came out in 1992 and is absolute pique Skinny Puppy… the album has always fetched about $250 or so since the early 2000’s.
Eventually in 2008 it was re-released on vinyl and sold out almost instantly.
Those also fetch around $160 on eBay and discogs.
Finally, in 2019, they re-released it again, and once again, they sold out super fast… They WERE going for around $50…
Today - these popped back up on Amazon and I am super pleased to have finally been able to purchase a copy of Last Rights on vinyl.
Needless to say, I have been after this record for many years.

I wouldn’t call Vinyl better than digital, it is just very different formats, if you have a specialised setup for say analogue from a vinyl, ofc. It is going sound better because it is ideal conditions for that. Digital compress the sound, and remove some tones, that exist in analogue. However since most people don’t have ideal music solutions in their home, the small difference between digital and analogue is very small and not in human hearing range, unless something goes really wrong. Digital can’t recreate the experience of being there, Analogue can come close. I don’t have space, or money for analogue system in my home(somehow have space for music instruments and a sewing machine!). I dropped having TV, because I never use that either, I know I listen music 99% of time on a computer, so I just don’t see the appeal of having Vinyl, when I know I don’t use it.
Seriously that record is worth that much?? Man, if I would have known that I would have ordered more copies from Nettwerk when I worked for them.

crazy right?
And the funny thing is… the very first pressings sounded like shit… but theyre still ungodly sought after.
There were several re-releases that sound atrocious as well. like lower than mp3 quality lol.
There was one issue with bites or rabies on the tapes? or original cds? where it played something else, i can’t remember the story on that one lol.
I guess they want the first ones, not because they would listen to it, because they were first and authentic with the flaw. It is like collecting books without reading them, because the first edition was literally random letters across all the pages instead actual readable content. Or maybe they just love the sound of a bad pressing, in which I wouldn’t shame them, but i feel like it is waste of fancy turntables and good sounding speakers.

I played these 2 over and over again. Spliff is Nina Hagen Band without Nina Hagen.
The Radio Show is a great rock (concept) album so take the time and listen to it all the way through.
AchtFünfFünfFünfFünf 
was the follow-up and it’s more New Wave with german lyrics.
This one song is sticking in my head lately.

This months edition of Musikexpress comes with a yellow 7" celebrating the 40th anniversary of Kraftwerks Computerwelt LP.
I was 17 and it was my first live concert. The ticket even has an autograph from Wolfgang Flür on the back. He mingled with the crowd after the show, but the other 3 stayed backstage.

Most of you may only know his No.1 hit “Rock me Amadeus” but his 1982 debut album is the real gem.
Check out the title track Einzelhaft (Solitary Confinement)
or “Helden von Heute” (Heroes of Today) which seems to be his version of Bowie’s “Heroes” in a way.
