| Magic Marmalade 9th Jun 2016 | I think it may be not so much a problem with the vinyl or packaging as a problem more particular to the music on it... ...In that other music like rock or pop is likely to get more play - and is in and out of the sleeve and bag more often - but listening to these classical works may tend to be more of an event, or occasion, which, while meaning that older classical vinyls may be in generally better condition when you find them (And having been generally had better care taken of them), they don't get out much. ... So maybe the 45worlds Good Classical Vinyl Guide advice on these is to periodically, if not regularly, spend a day taking these out of sleeves and bags - even just if they sit in the open air for a bit. (Perhaps leaving the inner sleeve opened up for a bit too) So as you take one out to listen to, grab half - dozen others at the same time, and un-be-sleeve them while you listen. | |
| bobzyeruncle 9th Jun 2016 | Haha! The analogy is nearly accurate, though. Over time (and it didn't take long.) The inner sleeves would get fused to the record, leaving gunk behind that you can't clean. The road to Hell is paved with old FFRR inner bags. | |
| Magic Marmalade 8th Jun 2016 | Sweaty vinyl? :) | |
| bobzyeruncle 8th Jun 2016 | On the topic of Decca's vinyl quality, I'm wondering when they switched to the 'streaky vinyl' formulation. Under strong light, there is an odd black and grey sunburst pattern to many of them. At first I thought it might be a remnant of the poly lined sleeves, but apparently it isn't. | |
| Magic Marmalade 4th Jun 2016 | These boxed labels are a bit of a conundrum... ... As the latest unboxed Decca I have is 1969 Britten / Blake / Donne... so they were unboxed even then, for classical at least. Whereas I thought pop and rock such as The Rolling Stones went boxed around 67-68-ish (?). | |
| PhilMH 4th Jun 2016 | Release month from Decca's 1974 catalogue, published September 1973. Still in print in the following year's catalogue, too. | |
| Magic Marmalade 3rd Jun 2016 | I've got, and have seen a few classical vinyls now from what I've read is thought of as the "Golden Age" of classical vinyl (From a UK pressing point of view, at least)... -1957/8 - 1967 - ... And can see why they are preferred, as the consistency of the vinyl that the music was pressed on was a lot stiffer (more rigid), and often a lot thicker too, as well as having a finer cut... - almost a hangover from a Victorian attitude of over-engineering things... before commerce and mass production for popular culture begins to dictate pressing techniques etc. - As well as frequently capturing rare performances from great artists (sometimes late in their careers) in the early days of Stereo, where it was pioneered before being rolled out for general use in more general rock and pop music. This is a consistent feature of my earlier German Deutsche Grammophons (Gotta be German Tulip rimmed labels peeps!), HMVs, Columbias (The undisputed best vinyls ever in my opinion!) etc. And while I did see a verylate SXL in a charity bin the other day, it was painfully thin vinyl, as to be almost a flexi-disc! - it couldn't even support it's own weight out of the sleeve, and "stand up straight". But this particular one is an odd exception... ... As my other boxed logo Deccas are all on that later, slightly more flexible quality of vinyl (Albeit they don't often suffer in terms of thickness), but this one seems to be on quite a stiff piece of vinyl despite the "small" boxed labels attached, more like the older unboxed Deccas. I can't say if this is a one off, or this title is consistently so for all copies, but very nice indeed. As for sound difference... I honestly can't hear much between the later boxed logo Deccas and the earlier ones (As per HMV, Deutsche, and the rest), but maybe you need some monster kit to detect it, or just a better set of lug- 'oles than mine. Certainly these boxed logo ones are worth having, and I wouldn't refuse them if I see them. | |
