The Needle Drop

An insufferable megadork; the physical embodiment of the word "annoying".

Next time The Needle Drop's bespectacled muzzle shows up when I google an album title, I may projectile vomit at the screen.

needle drop

A bootleg conversion of a vinyl record to CD or CD-R. Usually taken from high quality special release records released in the 80's, that are not now available.

"Have you heard the Beatles White Album MFSL needle drop?. A million times better than the official EMI release."

needle drop

A poor method of attempting to create a recording from an alternative source recording. Often used by resellers who fake analog reel to reel tape or analog cassette recordings by transferring digital or vinyl records back to tape and claiming to new analog is from a master analog source.

I purchase the Pink Floyd R2R, but it turned out to just be a needle drop.
