New Vinyl!! My copy of David Gilmour’s The Luck and Strange Concerts deluxe boxset. Decided on this version since I was going to get all the release types as it was. #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #vinylcollection #vinylsky

The Incident - Porcupine Tree. Still feeling the PT/Steven Wilson vibes. The last album before their long hiatus in the 2010s. Has some absolute bangers on it. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #PorcupineTree #StevenWilson #vinylsky

The Final Cut - Pink Floyd. A nothing special US 1st issue from 1983, that’s been well loved. It’s my original copy. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #PinkFloyd #vinylsky

Animals - Pink Floyd. A late 80s Columbia repress. On the shittiest floppy vinyl imaginable, but sounds masterful. I would argue it’s better than any other pressing of the OG mix. Only early UKs might compare. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #PinkFloyd #vinylsky

The Overview - Steven Wilson. Having now seen this performed live in its entirety, it only has gotten better and deeper. It was an exhaustive listening experience live, but in a great way. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #stevenwilson #theoverview #vinylsky

Closure/Continuation - Porcupine Tree. PT’s most recent offering. Despite not being as good as some of its predecessors, it’s still exceptional. The musicianship alone is mind blowing. A Music For Nations 2022 1st issue. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #vinylsky

The Harmony Codex - Steven Wilson. A more electronic sounding album from Wilson. Nevertheless brilliant. 2023 Virgin Music pressing on translucent orange vinyl. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #stevenwilson #vinylsky

Swagger - No-Man. A Steven Wilson project. A collection of songs from the trio. It has very strong Bowie vibes. This is an opaque light blue pressing from Burning Shed. Not sure how it got it. I think it was sent to me from a seller who hated it with another LP I got. #vinyl #vinylsky #nowspinning

O - Damien Rice. Terrible jacket cover for a remarkable album. Damien’s best album. This is a repress from 2018. Bit noisy but it’s what I’ve got and I love this album to death. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #damienrice #vinylsky

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy - Elton John. One of those albums part of the nearly flawless run Elton had between 1970 and 1975. This is actually a recent repress that sounds pretty amazing considering it likely came from a digital source. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylsky #eltonjohn

The Big Picture - Elton John. Feeling introspective. An Elton album that doesn’t get much love, but will forever be important to me. A first pressing that sounds decent. Still a bit noisy but it’s flat. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #eltonjohn #vinylsky

So I use my DiscWasher and fluid to hand clean the surface first. Then put it in the Guru and let it do its thing. It doesn’t do a great job with surface things, like fingerprints. It also just helps keep it cleaner and the water can be reused more.

Every Picture Tells A Story - Rod Stewart. A solid album from Rod. This is a 2018 Mercury repress on opaque purple vinyl. I’m not even sure how I came to own it… but I do. It does sound pretty good, reasonably flat. #vinyl #NowSpinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #vinylsky

It really does work. And work incredibly well. Make sure to hand clean and get the surface looking good. When you play it, if it’s still a little noisy from dirt, clean it immediately after again.

Close to the Edge - Yes. One of Yes’ finer efforts. A repress from 1974, Record Club of America edition, at least that’s what the sticker on the back says. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #vinylsky

A Saucerful of Secrets- The Pink Floyd. An original UK 1st stereo pressing in mint shape. No additional markings in the runouts, a clean YAX-3633/4. First jacket and labels. A terrific album and pressing. #PinkFloyd #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #vinylsky

When are we finally going to see it pressed on vinyl?!?!?!!! One of only a small handful of her studio albums that have never been pressed to vinyl. I really wish it would be because I love this album.
