Spinning on the Turntable now...

They certainly are different pressings and different vintages. ABC label Trespass would predate 1978.

Rainbow US labels are MCA. Those were pressed from 1980 onward.

Pressing plant s/b denoted in run-out. ABC might have been Terre Haute or others. MCA would have been pressed in Gloversville, Pinckneyville, etc. 2010 180g LP on Geffen in US is a remix, possibly from digital master.

US First press on the ABC black label. I have a copy on the rainbow label too. Not sure if they are different pressings or just a difference in labels.

I apologize Linda. I misspoke with my post.

This is the label that I have on the copy to which I was listening yesterday:

I also have a copy that I referred to as the "rainbow label". I meant the rainbow ABC Records label below, not the MCA rainbow label. In fact, I had completely forgotten that this album was later released on MCA Records.

I had always heard that the ABC pressings sounded much better than the later MCA pressings, but based on my listening that isn't saying much. It's odd. The music sounds decent, but Peter Gabriel's vocals are really muddy sounding in the mix. I would need to listen to the UK version again to compare.

Sorry for the confusion!

The original US pressing. The UK is too rich for my blood.

The album I bought new when released that was almost worn out. IMHO a superb bit of musicianship. Fortunately the disc version won’t wear out as easily.

Listening to this Italian improvisational jazz LP that never made it to CD.

 

[Rhinojack]

These guys f*!kin' rock.

I gave this album away to a friend, he collected more records at estate sales, called me up a few of months later, read off a list of albums he's acquired to see if I wanted any, mentioned this and I said sure and now I have my original back.

It's the one with all the vinyl tricks cut into it?
3 speeds. Music in the runout. Alternate intros, and such?

I think that's his 2nd album Lazaretto. Which i don't own unfortunately

This Doors lp was my Record Store Day purchase. While checking the bins I found this Nektar SQ album. Will play them both this evening.

Try the PF singles in The Early Years box, they sound phenomenal

 

[svengaleekie]

I got this 30th anniversary edition picture disk: Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Black Moon, their 1992 album.

It doesn't look quite so bright in real life though.

Wow, news to me. Didn't even know they were doing anything new in the 90's.

Not a huge fan of this album, but I saw them on this tour and they were terrific!

Didn't they have a different drummer for a while?
Before or after this?

In the 1980s they had Cozy Powell for a bit and went by Emerson, Lake and Powell.
