Good deal for those that missed the $6.49 Tower Records sale in 1973.

Grab that deal with both hands and make a stash.

That's $40 in todays money so this is a steal

If you play this backwards you can clearly hear the record repeat: "Fatwallet was better." Whatever that means.

Quote from BoomSchtick :
This vinyl resurgence boggles my mind. I have an 18 and 15-year-old spending $20 - $40 on a single album.

I would never have paid that kind of money on any album in any format. It's nuts.

Same here. Was in heaven playing my first CD...

Am so tempted to get this and keep it sealed but I haven't yet. I already own this and the original '73 vinyl.

Quote from rumata13 :
No, $20 or $23 is not cheap for an LP recorder from a digital source. You are better off buying a CD for a fraction of that, it will sound better and will last longer.

As one of the posters explained earlier to get true analogue recording you will have to buy a version which will cost you hundreds of dollars. This Walmart imitation is not it.
Some of the best masterings are on vinyl. Format does not always decides what sounds better. Mastering matters the most. True CDs are technically better though.

From Jan-17 post:

This is the 2016 remaster, it was mastered from a digital file as opposed to an all analogue cut. The last analogue pressing was the 30th anniversary from 2003. That record goes for around a couple hundred dollars now and if you want a near mint 1st pressing from the UK you are going to spend about a couple grand.

The last time the Walmart vinyl albums were on sale some people were saying that these pressings were not as good as the original pressings. Does anyone have any idea of the quality of this particular pressing .
YEah, it's shit, like all vinyl.

It's pretty simple actually: Sell an inferior format for tons of money so stupid people think they're getting a better experience when really they're just morons who misunderstand how ears work.

That record goes for around a couple hundred dollars now and if you want a near mint 1st pressing from the UK you are going to spend about a couple grand. While not as good as either of those versions this is still a great sounding record. It is well made (many new records are basically defective from factory QA) and comes with 2 posters/2 stickers inside. The part on Walmart's website that states "CD" is a misprint since everything else points to it being a vinyl record. Also, the 180 gram weight doesn't affect sound at all and is basically just a sales tagline.
So in other words, idiots buy a crap format, pressed from a digital source anyway, so they can't pretend they're getting a superior experience from an analog sound they don't understand anyway? Seems like its just for people that like to stand up to switch tracks.

Vinyl —when done properly —sounds better than any other media however because it requires physical contact with the media to produce the sound the quality of that sound can deteriorate with use. Still overall vinyl is the best sounding media available.

This is exactly the kind of ignorance I'm talking about. Your shitty needle doesn't reproduce the sound as accurately as digital storage. You can buy one to pretend you're getting a superior experience all you want, but you're lying to yourself. You like a hissy background to your media, cool. But I expect in 30 years people will be saying the same dumb shit about VHS pretending analog is superior.

"Sounds better" is subjective based upon your own bias. Objectively digital reproduction is flawless every time. unlike your vinyl which degrades every time it's used.

Reel to reel tape recorded at high speed will blow vinyl to the dust.

Reel to reel tape recorded at high speed will blow vinyl to the dust. That's what was used at the studio to create master tapes, which were magnetic tapes.

"Sounds better" is subjective based upon your own bias. Objectively digital reproduction is flawless every time. unlike your vinyl which degrades every time it's used.
With vinyl there are so many variables that impact the sound - your turntable (weight of the arm, balancing of the turntable, vibration of the plate, speed, stability, etc.), type of cartridge you use, condition of the record (scratches, warping, dust, dirt, wear), mastering of the vinyl - all these factors make big difference to the sound before you even get to receiver and speakers. Rarely all these factors are tuned to the optimal state, hence most listeners will never achieve the best vinyl experience.

With CD many of these factors are eliminated, hence allowing you for a better sound reproduction.

Now, consider that most modern LPs (especially the ones sold at Walmart) are recorded from a digital source, which is essentially the same source CDs are burned from. Not only you are not getting the analog sound as on vinyl from 1970-80s, you also have multiple factors that decrease the quality of the digital sound from modern vinyl.

I know this will sound like a heresy to many people who want to get into vinyl, but unless you buy vintage vinyl from 1970-80s or special mastering of vinyl (Try Mobile Fidelity Labs records, which will cost a lot more than Walmart products), you are not getting the vinyl experience you hope for. Problem with vintage vinyl that most of is in rough shape after decades of use. You are really much better off with CDs, which offer comparable sound quality (same source, remember?) and better longevity for a fraction of the price.
