Coughing shellac

I picked up Brian Wilson's "No Pier Pressure" on vinyl at FYE.  The curious thing at FYE is that no one buys their vinyl, so deep discounts are often available. In fact, this was a 2 for one deal. I also picked up an Echo and The Bunnymen live album.

I loved "No Pier Pressure" at the time of its release, opting for the more practical CD. This is one of the few where the vinyl is superior sound quality to my ears. They kept it 4 songs to a side which always helps in the vinyl format. Brian's pro-tooled harmonies sound even more exquisite. This is the kind of album I'd love to listen to in a dentist office. Quality MOR, not schlock.
