1. Listening to Black Sabbath's eponymous debut the night I got it blew me away. What's the album that sounds the best on vinyl compared to digital sources?
--- Peter Gabriel – Passion (The Last Temptation of Christ). No comparison, so much better!!!
2. I was laying in bed one night and couldn't sleep and I figured, it was time to start buying records. How did you come to the idea that it was time to start buying vinyl instead?
-- I’ve collected vinyl since I was a kid and punk bands would release only a 7” etc or local bands. The collection grew and is now gargantuan.
3.For my old stuff, it's vinyl worthy, for new stuff, it's all vinyl if available. Do you buy everything on wax or do you have a vinyl worthy category?
--- If I love it, I buy it!
4. My second living room is where I keep it all. Upstairs, my 1971 Sherwood 7100-S, Receiver, 1975 Pioneer PL-200, and 70's Sansui 5 way speakers. Tell us all about your vinyl set up.
--- I use a Technics 1200 direct drive classic turntable, through an MPA II pro preamp and into my audio interface and through my studio reference monitors!
5. Do you read the lyrics and go over the inserts when you're spinning?
--- Sometimes but not always, depends on how often I’ve spun it or how busy I am at the time.
6. When someone says, I'm stupid for buying records, I tell them, thanks, more limited edition colored vinyl for me, what's your answer?
--- Whatever floats your boat!
7. My first album ever was Live Evil by Black Sabbath, so I'm stuck on live albums. What's the best live album on vinyl?
--- Death – Live in L.A. – though it was only recently released on vinyl so that’s a beaut that I snagged both pressings of it!
8. Tell me about your latest vinyl release.
- ALEXANDER – I. 12” LP on Coke Bottle Clear via Superbob Records. Pressed at GZ in Czech Republic. Available at http://alexanderseye.bandcamp.com
9. Listening to records is my comfort food for my soul. As mentioned earlier, I have a living room dedicated to it. I normally drink a beer or two whilst listening to music I love. Describe your normal listening experience.
-- when relaxing, cleaning or doing admin work via the internet.
