Just bought Lotusflow3r on vinyl...

Fantastic album! Some really deep vibes comin' outa those grooves. This album should have been bigger than it was.

Haven't listened to MPLSound yet... might give it a while...

Anyone own this album on vinyl?

I do.

Me too..I love the vibe of Colonized Mind and the depth subtle funkiness of Boom. The whole album has a hendrix vibe. As far as MPLS Sound goes..well, its okay. I only listen to MPLS Sound for Never B another like me and Dance 4 Me...

Anybody got any pics? The sleeve art for Lotusflow3r was rather iffy but I can imagine it looking like quite a nice little package on wax.

Yeah... I listened to MPLSound just to get it over and done with to be honest. Dance 4 Me sounded quite nice on vinyl, didn't hate Old Skool Company either! The Lotus disc is the only reason for getting the vinyl.

Discogs. It's an ebay type site that sells second hand LPs and CDs. They sell new items too. I recently bought a Bob Dylan album "Time Out Of Mind" on 180g vinyl from that site, brand new and sealed. If you like vinyl you should check it out.

(Sorry if this is against Org policy or anything.)

Not his best album, far from............. but it's ok. Not as great as Lovesexy, SOTT, Parade, PR and the other classics.

I think I bought LotusFlower from iMusic.dk,

like Krieger wrote above..

^ I agree with you PhantomOS., biggrin

discogs.com
is a fantastic place for older vinyl in case you buy in NM (near mint) condition, (and in new "mint" vinyls as well);

I have just ordered Wendy & Lisa "1" on LP (their 1st album, the debut),

Plus the Jill Jones album on LP Vinyl as well.

Discogs, is an excellent place, its rare you will be disappointed, there... at least that's my experience.

Does the vinyl have the same audio "pop" in the beginning as the Cd?

Assuming you're talking the little audio glitch at the start of From The Lotus, I'm afraid it does.

It's a great album and it sounds wonderful on vinyl but those errors on the back are really shoddy.
