Yeah, there's lots of Elvis at my house.

On those Country Sets do they have any Marty Robbins?
He's one of my favorites too.

Did anyone here preorder the Bella Donna or Wild Heart vinyl remasters? If so, I'd love to hear if there's anything notable about them once they arrive.

You know I did!

A few new vinyl albums I've picked up over the past week or so...

Stevie Nicks Wild Heart (2 copies, as one was damaged).

Stevie Nicks Bella Donna

I've only had a short amount of time to listen to side one of Wild Heart.

Elvis Presley Showroom Internationale (2 LP set)

Recorded August 12, 1970. The show hadn't been released in full
until recently. Excellent cover shot. I'm really looking forward to
a serious listening session with this one.

This is the Elvis set I'm thinking seriously about now...

The Gene Clark set is finally on it's way, supposedly upgraded to 200g vinyl from 180g which seems more than heavy enough. I'm not sure what those mid 70s RCA flexidisc things were, 60g? Those things was weird, flopped around then sprang back flat.

I hear good things about those MRS releases. The only
complaints are from mostly hypocrites who own many
Elvis bootlegs and yet complain about these not being
legitimate releases.

I'm not sure the thicker vinyl makes for a better sounding
record. For me the 180g is enough. More than that I start
wondering about the height of the tonearm. I have many
of those flexidisc. By the time I was old enough to buy records
the industry had gone to that unfortunately.

I think the Memphis Recording Service releases are properly licensed for sale in Europe at least, like the German Bear Family label releases. They do a great job in quality but they are pretty expensive items to import unfortunately.

Yes .I love Marty Robbins too.I think there was El Paso and White Sports Coat .I got the 50th CMA awards on now and its great to hear the classic tunes then the current crop of so called country music.

As I was at the local mall today.I stopped into FYE and see they have a vinyl Rumours there for $21.00 bucks.Maybe I should set up a popup shop at the Mohegan Sun casino early of the day of Stevie's show there with all my extra copies of my Stevie/FM vinyl.I probably would make a killing .
