Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene Part 4 (Vinyl, 1977)

Fourth track off the album "Oxygene" (Canadian pressing, Polydor 2310 555)

This is the album that helped define electronic music for many, many people. Originally released in late 1976 on the Disques Dreyfus (then known as Disques Motors) label in France, Polydor would later release this album internationally in the summer of 1977 and the album went on to become very well-known, especially part four. Personally, I think it's simply the best electronic music album I've ever heard. If you owned this album back in the late 1970's, I assure you, your head might have been blown out by the (then) state-of-the-art synthesizers that Jarre played on this album!

There are many differences with analog an digital. Speed difference is very noticable. Like One On One for example on Vinyl Turntable sounds faster. On CD sounds slower.

@BBQFanNo1 The vinyl is cut at the correct speed; it's just that my Numark TTUSB turntable is running half a semitone fast. If your turntable is dead-on-speed, then the speed would be the same on the CD version... but an exception is Billy Joel's "Cold Spring Harbor" where the original vinyl version was mastered too fast while the CD version runs at the correct speed.

@OldMusicOnVinyl1 That is correct. Some turntables run at different speeds even though they show 33 1/2 RPM. The Vinyl Record is recorded and manufactured at the right standard speed. But I have had many turntables. Some run slower than normal. Others ran faster than normal. That is the same with those old Cassette & 8 Track Tape Players. Some ran too fast and some others ran too slow.

@SlimeTron5000 I know that. Well it doesn't really interfere because it's quiet, and I also used USB as I didn't want to use all that complicated line-in stuff. Also, my camera (which I use on a few of my videos) doesn't have any A/V cable input, so I both have to record the song and the video at the same time and sync it up in Windows Movie Maker.

@OldMusicOnVinyl1 I do not transfer via USB as there is an interfering high hum (I can hear it in this video).

@SlimeTron5000 Mine was made in 2007 and I opened it when I got it. I think it was because months after I got it I (very rarely) scratched with it. Might have been a problem with the belt getting tighter due to that.

@OldMusicOnVinyl1 My TTUSB was made in June 2008 and it was sealed in the box until early May 2010.

[OldMusicOnVinyl1]

@SlimeTron5000 Yes it does. Ever since I think about 2008 my Numark TTUSB has been a little bit on the fast side.

It sounds faster.
