    The Dark Side of the Moon (# 041)

    The Dark Side of the Moon (S3-E11) The JabberGuys… Ote, Queex, and Cha break down Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ and share some of the backstory of the making of this iconic album from 1973. Listen to the playlist on SPOTIFY The Dark Side of the Moon concept album is launched in 1973 Ground-breaking use of progressive technical sound engineering Original members of Pink Floyd: Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, Richard Wright David Gilmour joins the group in 1967 and Syd Barrett leaves in 1968 The recording environment was dark to feed creativity, and contributed to the dark lyrics  Studio album is recorded over 2 years with the working title ‘Eclipse’ at Decca Studios (Hampstead-1972), Rolling Stones Victorian warehouse studio (Bermondsey-1972), and Abbey Road Studios (London-1972-73). Two songs used to promote album were “Us and Them” and “Money” Album scheduled for release in March 1973, is preceded by a press reception in February, but band doesn’t show up since they felt the album wasn’t ready yet. The press listened to the album with cardboard cut-outs of the band members on a low-quality PA system. Controversy with credits and compensation for the song “The Big Gig in the Sky” with singer Clare Torry.  She wanted credit for co-composing and sued them 30 years later.  Settled out of court. Original pressing has an error in the credits for the assistant sound engineer: “Peter Jones vs Peter James” Alan Parsons was a big part of the sound engineering for the Dark Side of the Moon and was nominated for a Grammy for his work on the album. The Dark Side of the Rainbow? (YouTube-Full Movie Sync’d) Wizard of Oz sync’d with The Dark Side of the Moon?  The JabberGuys are skeptical. The Dark Side of the Moon remained in the Billboard Top-200 for 736 non-consecutive weeks between 1973 and 1988. Rolling Stone Magazine lists ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ as the best Progressive Rock Album One of the best-selling studio albums of all time with over 45 million copies sold holding the #3 spot behind ‘Thriller (M Jackson)’ and “Back in Black (AC-DC)’. Rock News (second week of April 2022) -       Who is Gary Gnu? (YouTube) -       On this day (April 12, 1968) Pink Floyd releases 4th UK single - “It Would Be So Nice” -       On this day (April 12, 1975) Bowie announces he is retiring (Nope… didn’t happen) -       Research reveals that ACDC makes surgeons faster and more accurate… wtf?

    The Vinyl Comeback (# 039)

    The Vinyl Comeback (S3-E9) The JabberGuys Ote and Queex cover for Cha who is away this week, to talk about the resurgence of vinyl records.  Where did vinyl start, and why the growing interest from audiophiles in this music medium?  Listen to the playlist on SPOTIFY The various materials: (Shellac, Vinyl) The various revolutions per minute (RPM): 78, 33 1/3, 45 Play your vinyl on quality turntables for the best sound and to protect the record. How are you supposed to clean your vinyl?   Is the vinyl cleaning fluid all that special? The album artwork is part of the experience of buying and enjoying vinyl. Cassette mixed tapes relied on record players or radio play for recording songs. So, where did the vinyl record come from? 78rpm records, made from shellac were introduced in  (1877) Thomas Edison invented the phonograph which could record and play sound. Early 1900s the disk was further developed and by 1925 the shellac 78rpm was the standard. (1939) Columbia Records starts to develop vinyl technology. By 1948, the ‘LP’ (Long play) label is successfully introduced, allowing for longer playtimes per side. Why does the 45rpm record have a larger hole in the centre, that requires an adapter to play on your turntable?  All for the convenience of accommodating the mechanics of the jukebox, which exclusively used 45rpm records. After their failed 1931 attempt, in 1949 RCA successfully launches the 7” fine-grooved 45rpm record format. By the 1950s, 12” 33 1/3 vinyl becomes the standard. (1962) Phillips introduces the cassette tape. Where did the term “Like a Broken Record” come from? Why is vinyl making a comeback? Vinyl records had limitations, but many audiophiles feel that the vinyl sound is warmer with more purity. How does a record actually produce high quality sound?  Queex briefly explains. Vinyl has been continually picking up popularity since the early 2000s. Vinyl sales are increasing. Top vinyl sales in 2018 included… Guardians of the Galaxy Michael Jackson - Thriller Beatles - Abbey Road Fleetwood Mac - Rumours Prince - Purple Rain Check out the holographic image on Jack White’s Lazaretto record. Some recent popular artists are producing new vinyl records - ‘Adele 30’ Listen to the playlist on SPOTIFY Remember to share our episodes!  … and if you didn’t enjoy the episode, share it with someone you don’t like.
