I had to look at the deadwax etchings to confirm sides.

Love this album cover. I use to hang with all these people back when I lived in Baltimore in the 80s

Donnon would of loved it too❤️

I've written/directed a new audio drama called THE PODWATCHERS. if you've enjoyed my work likeTHE CHAMBERS TAPE, DEADWAX, or even UNTIL DAWN- you may enjoy! it's def not an indirect sequel to a previous work (won't say which! even though it's not!)

usual tells on fakes: label print that's slightly blurry or off-colour, a sleeve that looks like a scan (soft text, flat colours), and a runout that doesn't match any version listed on discogs. if the matrix in the deadwax matches nothing, walk away

“If You’re Going To San Francisco” somehow also works.

Deadwax serial number search failed (per my post last night) so I just searched the oddly titled “Nine Bar Mambo.” V0iLa! Turns out this is a 1969 Australian LP by Big Ben Hawaiian Band.

When I plug in the deadwax ID (7-LNMG-236-IL) it says it might be a South African edition but the cover doesn't quite match up. Clues anyone?

Collector friends, need some help sleuthing this copy of Osibisa's 1st. Appears to be UK but the label doesn't align with any postings I've found thus far on Discogs? There were numerous multi-color labels but none I've found just black / silver like this. Cont'd #musicsky #music

I found a reissue of Television's Marquee Moon. I checked the deadwax: CB. The Chris Bellman 2012 cut? Holy moly. I played it. 10 seconds in: this sounds way better than my original US LP. The one @notesonnoise.bsky.social always raves about. He was right. Legend. Chairman of the CB fan club!

Always wondered if I'd ever find one of these: a seemingly true first UK edition of ELO's 1976 smashterpiece, A New World Record. Easily the best sounding version of this I've ever heard, the telltale A1/B1 etchings in the deadwax indicate a first press. 1of2 #musicsky #music #vinyl #elo

Nice! I use an older Yamaha 5.1 receiver as well bc it has a tape monitor loop!

Friends have been happy with Orbit and Pro-ject base models. Very stable and accurate manual turntables.

You can add a Q-Up to lift the tonearm once it hits the deadwax

I think the sought-after Robert Ludwig mastering, identified by the initials “RL” in the deadwax, was pressed at other plants as well, although I may be wrong about that.

We got our MPF tickets two days ago, nicely timed before the last 200 tickets announcement 🙌 who else is going? Who else should we try to see?

Look, I think it’s fun when a record has info in the deadwax… but I’m not sure carving your branch info on the spindle hole of a DVD is better than any other form of labeling…

Spectacular show from #HiFiSean & #DavidMcAlmont at #Deadwax, absolutely full of happy new bangers & what a privilege to be in the presence of David's astonishing voice, definitely one of the gigs of the year

Check if it contains 'ELLO 'ELEN etched in the deadwax on the B side, than it is not from the LP release but the seperate later 1980 „Stranglers Information Service /Fan Club“ release. Do you still have the outer sleeve ?

Good album though!
Just found this one (don't worry- I'll stop after this).
The Babyfather (Dean Blunt) album on Hyperdub. Hardly worth getting comfy on the sofa after putting this side on.

DG mugging me off with an acre of deadwax over here.
Seemed to be a thing in the 80s, but I would have thought it would be detrimental to the fidelity.
Insights gratefully received.

1st spin of a pristine copy of the Oliver Nelson classic Blues & The Abstract Truth. Another from the dollarbin at last Friday's mad estate sale dig. Vinyl looks unplayed. 1967 press (ABC Records text on label). RVG Stereo stamp in deadwax. Cont'd #musicsky #jazzsky #jazz #music #vinyl
