The British Film Institute just uploaded that. Thought it was funny.

Also, wanted to ask if anyone could identify this mic:

How did I miss freaking an Alvin Stardust sighting! Gotta pay more attention (thanks chankgeez!).

The second video looks like a Neumann u87 in profile?

Yes! Good stuff!

Looks like AKG D320 or D330 to me.

Gotta up the game:

why are microphones so expensive?

[lordgalvar]

Because the retain the spirits of all they encounter. Like a katana.

If anybody readin' this post knows what mic this is, I'm interested:



Recorded late 1962.

Thank you!

It kinda looks like a melodium 75-a, but the back jack and the pivoting bracket are slightly different.

I'm thinking some kind of astatic?

Good bump!

[Chankgeez]

Thanks, lg, I'll now go lookin'.

Didn't wanna have to scour all the mic websites without some guidance.

Somebody uploaded that yesterday and I listened. Then when looking for possible info on that mic, I found this on Wikipedia:

"The album was awarded 4½ stars by Allmusic with Bruce Eder's review stating "This strange (and strangely compelling) album is the most controversial of all O'Day's Verve Records releases, popular among O'Day's hardcore fans for the showcase that the Three Sounds' near-minimalist accompaniment affords her singing. .. while O'Day sings five songs. She is amazingly restrained and low-key throughout most of her work here ... she seems uninspired in terms of any inventiveness, with long stretches of silence where one would have expected her to improvise. What is here is fine ... but there's amazingly little life to the procedings"."

I like the album a lot, primarily because it's so stripped down. So, jazz reviewer dude, FU.

EDIT: look what I found while lookin':

I love minimal recording styles/arrangements! I'm going to check it out.

Scratch the astatic...I was thinking of another company that I always call astatic.

However, pretty sure it's a turner u9s.

Check out nice mic lovin' Rob Lowe:

Looks like a Sennheiser MD 441. Glorious microphone.

I should read this thread more. I could maybe name 3 mics.
