Dire Straits – Brothers In Arms (Half Speed Master) 180G 2LP Vinyl Record

Theatrical, Timeless, and Sonically Stunning – Bowie’s Space-Age Classic Reimagined on Vinyl
Released in 1972, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars isn’t just an album—it’s a rock opera, a cultural milestone, and the birth of an alter ego that redefined music and fashion. Bowie’s androgynous alien rock star, backed by The Spiders from Mars, delivered glam rock anthems packed with drama, distortion, and dazzling flair.

This vinyl edition brings new life to the iconic soundscape, offering detailed midrange, solid low-end presence, and that unmistakable analogue warmth. From the slow-burning buildup of Five Years to the explosive Moonage Daydream and the sheer swagger of Ziggy Stardust, every track unfolds with musical and emotional precision—especially rewarding on well-balanced, revealing systems.

For audiophiles, collectors, and Bowie devotees, this pressing is more than nostalgia—it’s a full-spectrum experience of one of rock’s most important works.

VIVALDI IN VENICE – CHASING THE DRAGON – 180g VIVALDI IN VENICE – CHASING THE DRAGON – 180g VINYL

In Stock @thevinyladventure

Chasing The Dragon’s first “Direct Cut” album was of the Interpreti Veneziani performing a wonderful version of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. When chatting with Paolo, the orchestra’s organizer, CTD discovered the group had never taken part in a ‘live’ recording. They have always performed in the San Vidal Church which is in the Academia area of Venice. The acoustics in the church are outstanding. So after some discussion with the orchestra, they were convinced to record a live double album there. This would mean that a small crew would have to go to Venice and record 5 live concerts. It’s a dirty job, but somebody had to do it! The jump factor of this album really has to be heard!
