Will there be a re-release of The Police catalog ???

discuss

Get outta here ... !

I should start to think about selling my "First-Singles-6-Pack" of the boys on ebay soon - might pay for a holiday trip to Aruba or at least a ticket somewhere in section 2873 right beside the portaloo!

Vinyl never really left.

It is high time we had a high quality vinyl re-release of the Police. I would love it!

For what I know, REGGATTA DE BLANC should be rereleased on vynil in Japan in August.

Vinyl never left. Turntables did. Try find a decent one nowadays!

sure you can find it, but you have to pay $$$$$$$

Non avrei dovuto disfarmi della mia....

I am spoliled on many fronts here. One, my husband is vinyl nut and has a really nice Linn turntable he brought from the old country (and runs on a home made power converter) and two, the Needle Doctor one heck of a great turntable reseller and repair shop, is right here in Dinkytown by the Univ. where I work.

I found a decent technics one at a yardsale which my husband and the Needle Doctor got into working order and gave to a friend of mine. It not audio geek quality, but it plays records well and sounds good to my ears.
It was a very trivial investment in money. Under a hundred dollars. I think decent turntables are to be had on Ebay as well.

Also new turntables are still being manufactured and not all of them are insano expensive. Needle Doctor has a bunch for under a hundred (with another ten or so for shipping.).

Oh heck yeah. I was just telling folks the other day to try the Guitar Center. They have a bunch of DJ-style turntables for well under $200. They'll scratch, too.

I've still got a slew of vinyl, including a lot of titles it would be a PITA to find on CD.

Oh that's a good idea. Turntables are classified as an instrument now, so go somewhere where they sell instruments.

Linn turntable? Sweet.

Vinyl never left, but it did suffer a bit for a while there.

I have a rather large vinyl collection that I've built over the years. My turntable isn't the greatest, in fact it's rather inexpensive, but I *did* buy the best needles I could afford and it really makes a difference. At least my table has adjustable speed & strobe so I can make adjustments if needed.

Hey....you finally got your all Stewart avatar up Krok! Nicely done!!

Heh...yeah, but I'm not very happy with it, so I may make another.

Your avatar is eating my brain, Krok. Is that Boris Karloff in there?

Yes needle, strobe and adjustable speed are all important. My husband swears by a really good table to hold your turntable, too. They are heavy as hell with pointy feet so they don't absorb vibrations. They will go a long way to make an inexpensive turntable sound better. Also can dance like crazy and not skip the record.

>> They are heavy as hell with pointy feet so they don't absorb vibrations.

It's all about the MASS.

>> Is that Boris Karloff in there?

Heh heh...which one?
