I can now tick that off my list of "all time unimpeachable favourites that I don't have on vinyl yet".




 


By the time I finish (if I finish) my essay tonight and slump at what will probably be 2 AM with this at top volume, I may well be a total wreck.

The guilty undertaker sighs,
The lonesome organ grinder cries,
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you.
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn,
But it's not that way,
I wasn't born to lose you.
I want you, I want you,
I want you so bad,
Honey, I want you.


Great choice for vinyl, mostly because of the iconic cover. Is that mono or stereo reissue? I have both plus a cheesy 80s reissue.

Just finished the first track and I"m digging it. Its deffinitley got a different feel than the last 3, but can kind of be viewed as another twist on the overall framework that tied those together (a bit of a tour of old americana music) this time with some latin, bordertown influence. I'll give my thoughts on the whole thing later today in the what are you listening to thread after I've finished it.

It's a recent UK stereo pressing, from the original stereo mixes, not the revised mixes from the 70s. Also, it really is an album that benefits hugely from vinyl, and not just for the cover. It gives his voice this particular quality that just somehow makes it even more incredible. Which, prior to buying it, I wouldn’t have thought was possible. I can’t honestly tell whether the vinyl does make that much of a difference, or if it’s just that I’ve changed since I last played it loud and really concentrated. It’s something of a personal measuring stick for me, and it seems to change every time I hear it, which is partially why I love it so much. But LP definitely seems to be the format that suits it best.

I urge you to keep your eyes out for the mono version on the Sundazed LP reissue. It's even more incredible.

But I like the UK LP too. It has a nice sound, and in the gatefold, it includes the original layout with famous photo that was later deleted.

Sadly no, not in my edition. It's the 7 photo layout with the enlarged picture of Dyaln wearing a white scarf, not the 9 photo layout with Cardinale.

Oh, I wonder if I got this mixed up. I'll have to check at home tonight. It may be the Sundazed version that has this. Or maybe I got a different UK release than yours. Mine's from Simply Vinyl. Or since I bought it a couple years ago, maybe they've since had to remove the photo again.
