I love the sound of vinyl. To my mind, it's an aesthetic that is pointless to argue, for instance, in comparison to CDs. Yeah, the integrity of the original recording might be better preserved in a digital format, but there's something special about having the only Frampton record that does that little pop every time it gets to the second chorus of "Do You Feel..."
I don't know if it's because it's vinyl, or the original recording, or how it was EQed for the movie, but the soundtrack to Shawn of the Dead* has this great part with a (I think) Chicago song. It's only on for about two seconds, but if anyone knows can they clue me as to whether that sounds like a realistic representation of the original recording, even as it might exist on CD? I just love the sound at that part in the movie - takes me back.
*As I was thinking about it just now, there's a subliminal commentary to this movie on vinyl. Anyone who's seen the movie knows what I'm talking about: the juke box in the pub, the late-night scratching session, the attempt to use vinyl to kill zombies. What's the message? I dunno, maybe it's just a bunch of stuff that happens.
