Samory I - Strength, Easy Star (2024)
One of the new and very talented Jamaican Roots stars staying true to Jamaican Reggae rather than the mainly heavily US R&B influenced Dancehall stars. With guest appearances from Lila Ike, Jesse Royal, Kabaka Pyramid, Capleton & Mortimer.
They still can’t get the order right, can they? 
I bought this CS&N LP recently from Amazon USA, a record celebrating 75 years of Atlantic Records (according to a sticker on the front cover). Rather to my surprise, the LP is pressed on clear vinyl - which I know some people think will sound inferior to black vinyl, but it’s clear as a bell.
It’s good to have a sheet with the lyrics, which I don’t remember having in the ancient LP which I must have bought at around the time of the original 1969 release (now donated to a local charity shop).
I didn’t realise they did a clear version. Is it the same Analogue Productions 45rpm cut?
So not the same as AP I guess.
Thanks, Stevie. I can’t see anything on the record sleeve or label to say where it was mastered, or by whom. Just a catalogue number RCD1 8229, followed by 60349787045.
The record is pressed in the Czech Republic.
And to answer Richard’s question, I hope that it’s not 45rpm. I have the Linn adapter (and a spare belt), but I’ve never been brave enough to try them. Which is vexing, as I bought a new Jesus and Mary Chain 2LP set, ‘Glasgoweyes’, which the label tells me is 180G double LP, frosted clear vinyl, cut at 45RPM.
I will need to sort out my 45RPM adapter phobia, as I have now quite a few LPs which I can’t play otherwise.
It’s a single album, Graham. Therefore, 33.
No adaptor needed.
Mastering initials in the deadwax.
Looks like there is no US cut, Czech worldwide.
I bought two different Atlantic 75’s (3 copies in all, as one was replaced)…all had a pressing fault at the start of side 2 
Thanks, stevie, that’s a relief. I was rather afraid to try playing it!
Get it played. Just in case…(see my last sentence above)
Hopefully my albums were just a blip in pressing quality.
I didn’t realise they did a clear version. Is it the same Analogue Productions 45rpm cut?
3 Versions Rhino / Analogue Productions / Vinyl me please
Each month’s Atlantic 75 collection reflects the label’s diverse and rich history.

Chet Baker & Enrico Pieranunzi - Heart of the Ballad, Philology (1988)
Pressing is excellent as is the sound and the music is top drawer. Enrico Pieranunzi is a brilliant pianist who complements Chet perfectly.
Looking through Discogs, I couldn’t see a VMP reissue of CSN…may have missed it among these:
Classic Records
Mofi
Electric Recording Co
AP 45
Atlantic 75 33/3 clear
Totally blown away to find an extra record added to my order as a thank you gift. Fleetwood Mac first edition , printed in the USA RSD 2012 limited edition one of 6000. Cut by Chris Bellman. Sounds absolutely fantastic.
Armored Core VI - OST (2023 first pressing, 4 x LP)
Just arrived today. Don’t have many soundtracks on vinyl, let alone electronic-heavy ones so this should be fun to spin. Came with a nifty felt mat that I will never use, but a freebie is a freebie.
Hope the pressing sounds good.
Just getting around to giving Neil Young’s recent Dume vinyl release a spin. Zuma has always been one of my favourite NY albums so this double LP with the extra tracks from the original sessions was hotly anticipated by yours truly. And… yes, I love it. Do I love it more than Zuma…? On the strength of this first play, maybe…
Oh, I almost forgot to mention the one big disappointment with this album. As I was removing the large fold out lyric sheet I spied a small card in there too. My initial thought was “oh how thoughtful of Neil to include a download card for digital devices”. No such luck! And to add insult to injury it was advertising a twenty dollar annual sub to his website. 
Haven’t played my copy yet…will have to be a headphone treat I think.
Oh, it’s definitely going to be a treat!
I also recently acquired the new Neil Young “Dume” album.
It sounds really great. (I also have Zuma).
