Peter Gabriel and others - "Big Blue Ball" 45rpm double blue vinyl LP


David Bowie - "Blue Jean" 7" single


Red Hot Chili Peppers - "By The Way" limited ed. 7" red single


Disney World Musical Souvenir - apparently limited edition to 5000 copies.
Same picture on both sides. (Tracks are different.)


Beatles - "Free As A Bird"  7" single.


Icehouse - "Man of Colours" blue vinyl LP. Sounds pretty nice. Australian import. Apparently there's also red and yellow vinyl editions.


7" EP of "Do Ya" covered by Einstein's Sister, Linus of Hollywood, Parallax Project
and Kenny Howes and the Yeah! Limited Ed. clear vinyl from Tallboy Records.


Just have to have this on picture disk! Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon"
Funny part is, it really is just a novelty - the last song on side 2 is cut off! Looks cool though!


Tuxedo Junction - "Chattanooga Choo Choo" on 7" yellow vinyl.
I also have their LP, also yellow. (Will get it up here soon.)


OK, so here it is. The yellow vinyl of the Tuxedo Junction LP. From what I understand, this was only released
on yellow vinyl.



Meat Loaf - "Bat Out of Hell" LP picture disk. Even though pic disks are usually noisy (this one is, too), this LP
is apparently mastered flat from the master tapes. Looks cool!


Gren - "She Shines" on yellow 7" EP. If you say "who?", it's an indie band.
Don't know if they still exist!


Electric Light Orchestra - "Secret Messages" 7" pic disk. Sounds pretty good, too.


U2 - "All That You Can't Leave Behind" picture LP. The sound isn't too bad, either.


O.M.D. - "Genetic Engineering" on 7" picture disk. Not sure, but I think
this may have been easy to find. Still looks cool.


Electric Light Orchestra - "Mr. Blue Sky" on blue 7" vinyl UK(top) and US(bottom) editions.
(Both have "ALLEN" etched in the runout, but are not Allen Zentz mastered.)


Electric Light Orchestra - "Sweet Talkin' Woman" on purple vinyl.
UK (top) and US (bottom). The UK is vinyl, the US is styrene and the song is sped up a bit.


The Colored Vinyl Out of the Blue Collection!
ELO - "Out of the Blue" double blue LP. (Along with the US and UK 7" purple singles of "Sweet Talkin' Woman"
and blue US and UK singles of "Mr. Blue Sky")
All 4 sides of the album are half speed mastered by Stan Ricker (SR/2)!
The blue vinyl is also a bit heavier/thicker than the standard black vinyl edition.
 (Although there are weight variations in pressings of this album.)


Electric Light Orchestra - "Telephone Line" on 7" green vinyl.
(Why green? Because the b-side is "Poorboy (The Greenwood)" I guess!?)


Various artists - Music from and Inspired by "Spiderman 3" double LP on colored (red/black marbled) vinyl.
It's obviously mastered from digital source, but doesn't sound too bad.
Some tracks are better than others. The gatefold package and inner sleeves are beautiful.


U2 - "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" from "Batman Forever"
on 7" red vinyl. (B-side is "Themes from Batman Forever")
It's limited, but don't know how many were pressed. Sounds pretty good.


OMD - "We Love You" double 7" singles. It looks like a gatefold LP, but it's a single with
2 records. The other single is "If You Leave". It says limited edition, but I don't know how many.


The Move - "Flowers In The Rain" 7" vinyl re-issued when the remastered Move
CD's came out. By a twist of fate, I wound up with 5 copies of this single.
(But alas, not the colored vinyl one!)
Limited edition, too.


George Harrison - "My Sweet Lord" (2000 version/mix) on 7" green vinyl. Sounds nice, but off-center a bit.


Queen - "No One But You" on 7" picture disk. The touching song recorded after Freddie Mercury died. The disk is a
bit noisy, but it still sounds nice. Apparently this one is limited, but I don't know how many.


Beatles - "Sgt. Peppers/With a Little Help" on 7" clear vinyl. (A re-issue.)


Spin Doctors - "Turn It Upside Down" green vinyl LP.


U2 - "Lemon" remixes on 12" yellow vinyl.


U2 - live recordings on "Propoganda". 3 colored LPs. This is apparently either a bootleg or promotional set.
Looks nice and sounds fairly good.


Traveling Wilburys - "Handle With Care" reissued 7" single when the remastered CDs came out.
Another one, by twist of fate, I have 7 copies of. Supposedly very limited, but they
seem to be easy to come by.


David Gilmour - "Smile" on limited edition 7" "clear" vinyl. However there's little flecks
of white and black vinyl in the pressing. For a 7" single, this pressing is thick (comparable to a 180g LP)
and very quiet. Sounds really nice. I have no idea how the LP sounds.


Big Pig - BONK - LP on white vinyl. (Band known for the song "I Can't Breakaway")
The vinyl sounds nice, but the album cover is made from thinner stock than the standard black LP.


12" single of "Some Like It Hot" by Power Station. For a picture disk, this one is very thick and sounds
fairly good. It's in a clear poly-vinyl sleeve with the white text printed on the sleeve.


Queen "Made In Heaven" white vinyl LP. The last Queen album with the late Freddie Mercury.  The white
vinyl sounds really nice and quiet. The LP package is much nicer than the CD.


R.E.M. - "Nightswimming" 12" single. This picture side has no music. The songs are on the other side.
The pressing is a little noisy, but not horrible. It's pretty much a standard collectors picture disk.


Pink Floyd - "Wish You Were Here" LP picture disk. There is more surface noise than the regular vinyl,
but the music is all there. The cover is die cut so the LP is supposed to fill in the picture. The album itself is
fairly thick. (Even as picture disks go.)


"Sounds Like ET" 12" picture disk. Features music from ET and other various space themed movies.
The music is not original, but covers done by some other band. Doesn't sound bad.
The other side has a full picture of E.T. I imagine the movie people probably didn't like this album containing
trademarked images. I have no idea how many were made.


Traveling Wilburys - "Handle With Care" original 10" single. (Not remastered.) Sounds really nice.


Traveling Wilburys special edition boxed set of 3 remastered LPs. Pressed on 180g vinyl. Limited First Edition.
(Traveling Wilburys Vol's 1 & 3 and special EP with remixes and extras.)


The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" seems to have been remastered several times. This is the limited edition
180g yellow (mono) and green (stereo) anniversary edition of the LP. Both sound nice, but the pressings
apparently had problems - so many have noisy artifacts.


"Wonderland" by Big Country on 12" clear vinyl. This is supposed to be a limited edition, but I've seen many copies
in used bins. Sounds pretty good.


Midnight Oil's "Blue Sky Mining" on beautiful blue vinyl. Another one that's supposed to be 'limited', but I've seen many.
The sound is good and maybe a bit better than the black vinyl I used to have.


OK, what could be better than Twisted Sister on PINK vinyl? This is the new anniversary edition of "Stay Hungry".
Not to be confused with Sisters' remake called "Still Hungry". This is the original recording and like the inner sleeve
says...."PLAY IT LOUD, MUTHA"



"Glorious Dawn" by Carl Sagan 7" 45 rpm. Limited Edition vinyl celebrates the 75th birthday of the late Carl Sagan.
B-side is an etching of the Voyager intersteller record cover. (Carl's voice is autotuned to 'sing' with music.)


"Nevermind" by Nirvana. 12" 180g blue vinyl limited edition remaster by O.R.G. in 2009.
The sound on this audiophile LP is excellent.


Limited edition 7" 45rpm single of "Valleys of Neptune" bu Jimi Hendrix
This is an all-analogue recording from the master tapes just recently recovered and released in 2010.
It does sound nice.


Jimi Hendrix 7" of "Bleeding Heart". Another limited edition single from "Valleys of Neptune".
2010 release.



REM - "Imitation of Life" 12" single on orange vinyl.


"Mothership" 4 LP boxed set by Led Zeppelin. Limited special edition on 180g vinyl mastered by Stan Ricker.


"Stadium Arcadium" 4 LP set by Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is the 150g set. (The mastering is the same for the 200g set
and both versions sound equally nice.) Limited edition and mastered to preserve the dynamic range. (Does not sound
extra loud and compressed as the CD of the same album.)


Flaming Lips do "Dark Side of the Moon" 12" LP. The vinyl is "seafoam green" - although more clear than green.
The sound is very good. The LP comes with a CD of the album.


"Fireflies" by Owl City on 7" clear vinyl. The sound is very good and is the "UK Radio Edit".


"Fresh" by DEVO! Blue vinyl 12" single, limited edition for "Record Store Day 2010". B-side is "What We Do"
Plays at 45rpm. Very good sound.



MORE TO COME!
