50 Years of Sunshine - Compilation celebrating the discovery of LSD

[bi11i]

I purchased this back in 1993 and have been wondering if ever released on LP? Anyone know or have this? A fucking great album - put together with/by Timothy Leary (http://www.leary.com/) and mixed by Steven Stapleton (http://brainwashed.com/common/htdocs/biog/stapletons.html) of Nurse with Wound (http://brainwashed.com/nww/). Tripped to it many a time and while I still have it on CD, I'd love to find an LP copy. (or even someone with a private press that would be willing to press it for me....) Has some great Leary-speak and the tracks are truly fucking great when under the influence of such things (as if anyone would or fucking could find any such a material these days after Pickard's sentence (http://rgbspecialprojects.blogspot.com/2006/03/10th-circuit-affirms-pickards-lsd-life.html)...)

Anyway, my inquiry of the day.

Question for ya Bi11i. You have it on CD and you want a record???? What's the reasoning for that? I'm just curious. I've never been into the psychadelics, so i might just be missing something obvious in the reasoning????:cool:

[HistoryofMadness]

damn, sounds cool... wish I could help, but right now I'm going to start looking for my own copy...

[trainwrecker]

Records are actually of a superior sound quality to CDs, contrary to popular belief.

[orangejuice]

my guess, is its probably the idea of "novelty" i've heard of people requesting their music on Lp's and such, when cd's are much better in my opinion, and ive always wondered that too vaxn8, i guess its just different peoples wants .??

[antony]

trainwreckers right. with the right needle, set up, you can't beat vinyl. Try it sometime.

[nick]

Vinyl is the way to go.Then again pops swears shellac was even better.

[antony]

reel to reels can reproduce some of the best sound as well, but they can cost like 10k. and good luck finding anything new in terms of recordings.

[nick]

Not so sure about reel to reel.One of my friends,who makes valve amps for a living,says reel is cool,but I've no personal experience.
P.S. You need to save all your cash for your passport.
P.P.S. What a cool thread topic,LSD and Vinyl 2 of my favs.

[Seedy]

Damn I'd love to hear that album. Is it mainly old electronic stuff? I might have to hunt for a mp3 download.

Here's my 5c on CD vs records:

CD's are basically a disposable medium these days. Records are something to collect and treasure and obsess over. CD's are digital and came out in the '80's. Think about how much digital technology has progressed since then. Digital music quality is no exception. Records are fully analogue, meaning that the sound is one smooth continuous wave, not a "pixelated" digital representation. So there.;)

[zombiewoof23]

reel to reels can reproduce some of the best sound as well, but they can cost like 10k. and good luck finding anything new in terms of recordings.

The other trouble is that the tape tends to degrade over time. There is a process for recovering degraded music on reel to reel that is pretty intense. This has always been a big deal to dead heads and the preservation of the music in the grateful dead vault. As far as LP's go, they are great collectibles and there is something about the combination of the sound and psychedelics that you can't replicate.

ah, how soon we forget. Half my income comes from the Catholic church. I have more money than god. And still knock off jewelers for fun.

"GIMME THE FOOKIN STONES!"
this way they think I'm from round your way.

I make love to Vinyl on an hourly basis which is odd considering my collection was stolen years ago and I never attempted to rebuild it. My music comes from a mouse that is attached to my computer.
He's a good mouse.
I call him Buckley.
In memory of Uzi and Ari's dog that Eli Cash ran over while tripping on mescaline at the wedding of Henry Sherman and Ethyline Tenenbaum which, due to the incident, was postponed until a later date.

[bi11i]

For a couple reasons, the biggest being that I've got a collection of Timothy Leary on Vinyl (himself, with Hendrix, etc), plus I tend to play vinyl back and forth during the day. I don't mind CD's or MP3's, but I prefer that platter in my hand. A CD I can toss on the floor and chances are it will play again. My records are like little children that need to be handled carefully - hell, they're fucking magical, doesn't everyone know that?

- hell, they're fucking magical, doesn't everyone know that?


No, not all of us do! Thanks for all the explanations. I had all my Eddie Rabbit albumns when I was in first or second grade, but everything went to tapes then CD, so I didn't spend much time with the vinyl. Has to be an age thing (to appreciate and know about it).
