aflycon Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Double Nickels On The Dime by Minutemen My Double Nickels sounds really good as well. During songs like "Cohesion" and "History Lesson, Part II" I feel like I'm hangin out with Mike Watt. Also, my copy of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly soundtrack from Black Friday RSD last year. Sounds awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natenomm Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 All of the Beck 12"s released a couple years ago (Defriended, I Won't Be Long, Gimme) sound phenomenal. "Gimme" is probably my favorite out of the 3 though. That being said, all Beck vinyl I have sounds really fucking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOElite Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The Wombats- This Modern Glitch. When I took it out of the sleeve it looked and felt like a great solid made record. Played it and oh man, first few notes where so crisp, along with the whole album, fell in love with it even more lol. And with that I'm expecting their new album to sound just as amazing when it ships next month, along with me hoping their first album gets pressed some day so I can hear it's amazingness too!

Cloudsbelow Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I saw nirvana-nevermind ORG mentioned earlier. it should be noted that the currently available pressing for less than $30 uses the same plates and is pressed at the same plant as the famed ORG pressing of nevermind. It is the definitive best sounding pressing of nevermind and much cheaper than you'll find the ORG. and thanks for the tips on that counting crows record, its been on my nostalgia hit list and good to know I should focus on the AP 2x12" at 45rpm pressing (seems obvious, but sometimes they're duds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onwardempire Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hmmmm tricky. Two that come to mind immediately that sound fantastic are: The Notwist - Neon Golden (2010 reissue) The Twilight Sad - Forget The Night Ahead 2xLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Wow, thanks for the replies everyone! This is sick! So further adding on to this theme.... has there been any song or album you discovered you liked MORE once you heard it on vinyl? For me, this applies to If These Trees Could Talk. "The First Fire" was always my favorite song, but when I finally got my copy of Red Forest on vinyl, and I got to "They Speak With Knives", the vinyl sound spectrum offered with this song's dreamy bed of delay-soaked guitars opened up a wholllle new world for me. Same thing happened with "Hand of the Host" by Isis off of "Wavering Radiant". Hall of the Dead had been my favorite song from that record, but when I heard the bass breakdown at the end of "Hand of the Host", it was a fucking game changer.
