I am looking for a MINT copy of Pink Floyd Meddle on VINYL... I am also looking for other Mint Pink Floyd albums. Let me know if you have any.

Good luck, my friend. That's my fav-o-rite Floyd album. I wouldn't hate hearing it on your setup.

I got a copy the other day that was pretty sheevy.. I cleaned as good as I could, still sounds like crap!! Nothing but pops and crackle. I am in the mood to hear echoes on vinyl!! :o :o

The best I can do for you is throw it on a hi-bias chrome cassette from my DX-708 via my TD4600 using Dolby S for you. It records 20/20 flat. I've got the printout to prove it.
It's like when I quit smoking cigarettes. Sometimes the gum worked. Sometimes it didn't. Sometimes that analog bug can be squashed with a run through the cassette deck. Other times, I suffer through pops and crackles. No snaps.
What is your record cleaning method?

Pretty cool Ed. :o

You can also get a reissue 180 gram dark side. Alot of people are selling them, but here's amazon... http://www.amazon.com/Anniversary-Stickers-Poster-Audiophile-Virgin/dp/B000V06TNQ (http://www.amazon.com/Anniversary-Stickers-Poster-Audiophile-Virgin/dp/B000V06TNQ)

I'm guessing that is a bootleg.

Mike,
I'm going to a CD & Record Fair that passes through Syracuse twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. I'll see what I can find. I've got to replace my copy as well - Echoes has a pinhole in one section that my needle just hates. The rest of the disc is fantastic. It had to be in the best song. Go figure. If I can find one I am picking it up. Will see if I can find two of them!!

That would be great Neil!!! I am having no luck, I did find a sealed one, but way to much money. :( :(

Have you tried Jerry's Records in Squirrel Hill?
-
Yes, several times... The ones I seen were beat up pretty bad..

Believe it or not, Half Price Books and Records usually has some Pink Floyd on hand. At least, the one in Monroeville does. I got a great copy of "The Wall" over there a while back, and they almost always have at least one or two Floyd records in the bin. Can't vouch for the other locations, only the one in M'ville. Next time I'm there, I'll keep my eyes open for ya.

Remember to ask to see what they have behind the counter. That's where they keep their more collectible records.

I haven’t been in a while but 1/2-P in at the Point(less) in Robinson has given up a few pearls for me in past.
Regardless, I will keep an eye out for you in future dumpster-dives.

Thanks Rev, If I am going to spend that on a used one, I can get a new colored vinyl one sealed for $39.99....
I just would not want to open it then.... To collectible.

Sorry it took me so long to post. I did find a really good original pressing! I probably paid too much for it as it was, but like I said, I had to replace my copy. There were a couple of other ones there, but not what I would consider "Mint" and they wanted way too much for them.
Sorry I wasn't able to come through for you. I will keep on the lookout. I just discovered a new place to check out vinyl in Syracuse, just haven't had a chance to get there yet.
I did hook up with a really excellent double album from Buffalo Springfield. A compilation record, and it includes the 9 minute version of "Bluebird". Got a decent copy of Jim Morrison's American Prayer, with booklet no less, and an excellent stereo version of Quadrophenia, with original booklet as it is. Oh yeah, and a nice version of Floyd's UMMAGUMMA and a really awesome version of the Dead - What A Long Strange Trip Its Been. Really awesome, almost like it was never played.
Got a couple of others, no where in as nice as shape as the ones listed above, but enjoyable. Again, I will keep my eyes open for a copy of Meddle for you. Will keep you posted.

Have you tried http://www.eides.com/info.html (http://www.eides.com/info.html) downtown by the bus station?

Carl came by today, and in his hand was an excellent copy of Meddle!!! Cleaned and ready to play!! THANK YOU CARL!! Also he had a Denon DL-160 Moving Coil cartridge for me to try out.
Carl was also nice enough to move a massive Philips power amp out of my way!
Thank you Carl, and it was a pleasure having you stop by and listen to some music with me and little Mikey.
Thank you again Carl!!

I have a UHQR of Dark Side of the Moon but its a bit warm sounding compared to my british pressing.
I also have the Japanese pressing of The Wall which is supposed to be the best sounding.
I could always burn them on CD.
