Big cost differences in two vinyls with same name/

[Bill13]

Folks I was interested in buying the "Vinyl Velvet underground" album on ebay

Both are new: one going for 18 bucks the other 180: the description is same: What are differences and what would it mean to me in terms of sound?

What people deem as collectable They will sound the same. Some are signed. Some are first sleeve, second sleeve, etc.

Buy one that is MINT and don't pay 180

Buy the new copy...LOL

But seriously Rob: we hear a lot about the pressing, mastering, etc. Will there be a diff?

I find the 180g records track better. They just seen quieter. I can't explain it.

Why don't you try here, as you have even more choices from a trusted dealer. This album has been reissued multiple times both in this country and in the EU. The ones in the EU may or may not be authorized by the artist or the original label. Many times they are made from a digital download or CD. EU copyright laws are only 50years.

Guys Guys I expect more. Even the 180g sealed seem to have very different prices. Dig dig.....does it make sense or not and hey Mike I love your new Avitar

The three different 180g releases at Soundstage are all three from different labels and pressing plants. If you really want the album your best bet is to check Discogs and Steve Hoffman forums and see if there is a consensus.

I have not really looked at those sites yet. Thanks. I can tell you that who presses makes a huge diff even if all else remains same.

I would stay away from the Men with Beards pressing. I have several of there reissues and they are pretty bad to my ears. This one is a Verve pressing just like the $58 one on Ebay, so it may be a safe bet. I am not a big Lou Reed fan except for the live Rock and Roll Animal album.

Glad to help. In fact your thread inspired me to pull out my "gold stamp Promo" of Rock n Roll Animal I hadn't listened to in 30 years. Got it when I was working for Record Bar while in college in the early 70's
