[DSJR]

Is there no hope at all? Obviously not :lol:

Enjoy your purchases. I thought I bout the Blossom Toes LP in a job lot from a mate of mine who flogged off all his records. Can't recall if I still have it, as the now Rega Sales Manager bought a load from me some years ago that I doubt I'd ever play again...

[Marco]

Jeez, I'll have to get the pen and paper out - it's a long list! I tend to buy most of my new music these days on vinyl, and am enjoying some of the current high-quality reissues of classics! :)

Marco.

Not my picture!

[Spectral Morn]

I have asked before but..... this term Fuzzy.... what does it mean?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you in advance.

Unclear, indistinct, not clearly thought out.

'Fuzzy logic' in maths and computing deals with data that is impricise or has uncertain boundaries.

Hence fuzzy purchases are not preplanned, impulsive, unpredictable aquisitions.

Of course this lot may think it is something else :)

Yep those are the definitions I saw too but I wondered if this was some particular term relating to vinyl, record label or some such.

Andre uses it all the time and a few others do also, so I am interested to know what they think/why they use it.

[Beechwoods]

I assumed it had grown from a term to describe early garage/psych releases that might be described as 'fuzzy', to encompass any vinyl of a psych/prog/kraut bent...

Ahhhhh, I thought with it being used by Andre that is what it might allude to.

[The Grand Wazoo]

Hence fuzzy purchases are not preplanned, impulsive, unpredictable aquisitions.

Somehow, I don't think Andre applies this definition to anything he does!

[Barry]

To put you all out of your misery "fuzzies", or rather "fuzzy warbles", is an expression used by Alex in the Stanley Kubric film "A Clockwork Orange":


It had been a wonderful evening and what I needed now, to give it the perfect ending, was a little of the Ludwig Van.

[While listening to Beethoven's Ninth Symphony]
Oh bliss! Bliss and heaven! Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied, I knew such lovely pictures!

Appy-polly-loggies. I had something of a pain in my gulliver so I had to sleep. I was not awakened when I gave orders for awakening.

Bit cold and pointless, isn't it, my lovely? What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got little save pitiful portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper. Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. You are invited.


Released in 1971 this film sits well within André's time-frame for things worthwhile.

Now I also know where Andy Partridge (XTC) got his outtakes compilation series name from too :)

[Audioman]

Yes I too thought of the Fuzzy Warbles / Andy Partridge thing but the term and it's use in 'Clockwork Orange' must originate from or be related to it's use in 'Fuzzy Logic'. The music is 'Fuzzy' as in having unclear boundaries and unpredictability. Just mistakenly thought it was refering to the patern of buying here rather than the actual genre. So presume the Psych connection to XTC is the Dukes Of Stratosphere output. Or am I reading too much into it and Fuzzy Warbles is just the physical disc ? Alex did talk a lot of bollocks in that film anyway.

[Rare Bird]

:lolsign: you lot..

Another fuzzy i won last night:
New Old Stock, 2LP .. still sealed..Spring 'Spring' (Akarma Records)

Bit cheaper than the £60 Vinyl Exchange in Manchester were asking just the other week...Not sure if they were having a Turkish or a Giraffe tbh, possibly both.

On the plus side I have secured a copy of Sade's first album, mint inner, mint outer and obviously unplayed for the princley sum of £1...By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings :eek:

[Rare Bird]

Hi Martin
I'm very very impressed with this re-issue, the best one ive seen to date, very good quality, i especially like they way they made the label look a bit like a 1st issue Pink Island jobbie.. The drumming near the end of 'In The Court'' sounds miles better to me than the Japanese HQCD edition i have..

[Marco]

Just been to Probe Records, in Liverpool, and got the following on brand new vinyl:

Drums Between The Bells - Brian Eno/Rick Holland.

The Singles Collection - The Creation.

Ekstasis - Julia Holter.

Off to spin them, after I've finished watching the Euro Championships! :cool:

I picked a copy of this up in the Vinyl Exchange in Manchester - sixty bloody beer tokens:stalks: I put it right back. Yes, it WAS the re-issue. Since then seen various issues priced between 22 and <silly amount> so I have the digital version. I don't like it that much but it does bring back memories of a particularly lissom young lady:rolleyes:

Sorry Martin, didn't see your post there before I wrote my "piece" on that little experience!

[Barry]

As my post (no. 3981) on 'Spinning Today ....':


The result of a recent visit to a local record fare, so all on vinyl:


Nico – ‘Chelsea Girl’
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51wF9VaySPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg


Nico – 'Schwanen Gesang, Lieder vom Einsamen Mädchen 1968 – 1985'
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51-4KMGUPrL._SL500_AA300_.jpg
(cover is similar to the above, but with different tracks)

Side 1 is mostly live versions from concerts in Tokyo and Warsaw. Side 2 has some unofficial versions of tracks that appeared on ‘The Marble Index’ and ‘Desert Shore’. Plus possibly the creepiest version of the German national anthem I have ever heard.


Laura Nyro – 'Season of Lights…Laura Nyro in Concert'
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Q%2Be-DMPUL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Good recording of Nyro in concert performing her most popular compositions.


Peter Gabriel – ‘Peter Gabriel’
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517Y0QZGYDL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Bought for the track ‘Solsbury Hill’. Some of the other tracks are a bit weird.


Jennifer Warnes –‘Famous Blue Raincoat’
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Tg15QMqQL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Warnes sings Cohen, and damned good it is too.


Joni Mitchell – ‘Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter’
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51W962ZKA2L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Joni ‘flirting’ with jazz. Not sure if I like it –too much ‘flanged’ guitar. Double LP.


The Allman Brothers – ‘Brothers and Sisters’
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61Zw%2BtZsnPL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Good old 'Californian commune' fodder.


Spirit – ‘Spirit of ‘76’
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/610apqRR48L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Live double LP


Love – ‘Da Capo’
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61rFKzznjNL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Not as famous as ‘Forever Changes’ but pretty good nonetheless. Excellent drum solo on Side 2 : ‘Revelation’.

[Rare Bird]

Hi Andre,
Where've you been?
I might have a spin of 'Odessey and Oracle' myself tomorrow. Probably the worst spelling in music...........apart from Slade's finest!

Just bought a pile of Frank Zappa LP's..cost £100..

Nice... Which ones, John? :)

Quality, matey - you got those at a bloody good price! :eek:

[Barry]

I'm not sure if 7 LPs for £100 is a "bloody good price".

£14 - £15 is about the most I would be prepared to pay for a used LP in near mint condition. £8 - £10 is a 'bloody good price'.

I have paid more but the records have been scarce (i.e. long out of print).

[Marco]

Hi Barry,

In my experience, Zappa stuff is usually around that price (or sometimes a lot more) in the second-hand record shops I use :)

Fair enough Marco - 'value' is what you are prepared to pay.

Yup, and/or what the market dictates... Zappa albums on vinyl have an intrinsic market value, which is reflected in the price charged for it in record shops.

The Zappa LP's were around £90 the dearest was Hot Rats at £20...the rest were £10 appart for two that were £15...Europa rarely gets such good stock as this in these days..the reason is simply Ewen the owner pays peanuts for stuff brought in..I have around 60 odd cd's to sell he offered £20..would be as well giving em to charity at that price..

[Rare Bird]

Wonders never cease:
Popped in HMV today in Sheffield.. found Cream 'Wheels Of Fire' (Studio) for a good £14.00 on White Vinyl (Vinyl Lovers 990199)..

Whargggh! :eek:

Vinyl has to be black. Avoid any vinyl that is not black! :doh:

However, the studio part of Wheels of Fire is rather good - much better than the poorly recorded live part.

They didn't want to - 'twas all they had got.

Well i didnt know it was coloured till i got home & broke the seal, however it's this or buying a second hand edition of which ive no intensions in doing if i can help it.

[MartinT]

I bought Norah Jones' Little Broken Hearts on double LP and discovered both discs were white. It doesn't seem to suffer any for being white and sounds superb.

Very few CDs have any value but I agree that is a tad low.

Sadly I don't think I will be in Scotland this year. I usually buy quite a few records from Ewen.

[Spectral Morn]

Been buying large clumps of a classical record collection recently, Elgar, Copland, Barber, Stravinsky, Britten, Vivaldi, Vaughan Williams, Sibelius, Saint-Saëns, Erik Satie etc.

All mint, both covers and lps. There are thousands. There is about three meters of Beethoven, Two of Mozart, One of Bach etc I want to buy more but once I am through I will probably catalogue them and put them up for sale on AOS.

I was playing Elgar earlier, beautiful.

went back to Europa...almost cleaned him out of Zappa LP's..will list later on..

Of course, the only way to get it on vinyl, as far as I know.

(Apart from bootlegs)

[Beechwoods]

There are plenty of copies of it on 'Picnic' floating around, despite it having been deleted as soon as the Floyd found out about it.

'Works' is the only place you'll find it on CD, other than bootlegs... unless I'm forgetting something :scratch:

That said, Picnic ain't Picnic without the gatefold. The cover is possibly the best part of the package.

Trip to London yesterday with Graham Northwest - went round a *lot* of record shops and finished up with some quality Italian nosh - hectic but a good day _ here's what I got:

Isaac Hayes - 'Black Moses' and 'Hot Buttered Soul' - been looking ages for these on vinyl - bit pricy but what the hell
Aztec Camera - 'Love' again been after it for a while, minty and only a fiver.
Ten years After - The Collection
UB40 - first album - think that was 50p
Lisa Stansfield - Lisa

http://i903.photobucket.com/albums/ac233/Macca_photos_2009/albums001.jpg

Hmm -picture hosting not working?

[Marco]

The first track you should play there, Martin, is the 12" single of 'Madam Medusa', from UB40's 'Signing Off' album, as it's an utter riot, played loud, on a good system! :gig:

Well I'm shy of a good system at the moment but will take your advice Marco :) No point playing anything if you aren't going to give it a bit of welly ;) Anyways - Gotta give them all a going over on the RCM yet.

[Marco]

No worries, mate. Let me know what you think when you give it a spin. It's one of my favourite tracks on vinyl, with some seriously wicked bass-lines!

Marco.

[Macca]

Just stuck it on - no pressing need for a clean - looks like it has never been played. Inner and outer are minty as well as the disc itself - big heavy pressing, too - nice. Cost me a quid. In London:scratch:

[Marco]

Indeed, and that's exactly what it should be. So what do you think? You'll either like the music or you won't, but the production and recording quality is top-notch! :)

Marco.

[Macca]

Just finished listening to it - quality album - quite a surprise i am only familiar with their later more radio-friendly material. Some traks are pure Ska! Production is superb - the horns in particular sound fantatstic. All kept simple and cheap, presumably. Funny how that often works out better.

One of those records where you feel you should have sought it out long before now :)

[Marco]

Glad you liked it. The whole album is excellent, but the stand-out for me is the 'free' 12" single of 'Madam Medusa'. Playing that through the Tannoys at 'silly' levels is truly a ribcage-rumbling, intestine-rearranging experience!! :eek:

Marco.

[MartinT]

That the one you played on my system, Marco? Which I then discovered I have?

[Marco]

Yup, dat's da one! Give it a spin again, and I guarantee it'll put a smile on your face :)

Marco.

[MartinT]

I've just run it through the RCM. Too late to do it justice now, I'll wake the neighbours in the morning :eek:

[Marco]

Lol - play it to Jerry when he walks in the door tomorrow! :eyebrows:

[Marco]

Just back from Brum and bought a couple of new fuzzies:

Angels and Demons at Play - Sun Ra.

Trip Thru Hell - C.A. Quintet (180g reisshoo, on Sundazed).

Still gradually replacing all my CDee's with fuzzies

Thanks to Chris (Grand Wazoo) I now have a lovely Wishbone Ash - Argus on fuzzy. Thanks!

Bought yesterday:
Santana - The Third Album. Sounds great!
Al Stewart - Russians and Americans
Van Morrison - A Period of Transition

[Marco]

Nice one Marco with the 'Trip Thu Hell'

Churz, dude. I'd spied it hanging up on the wall, thinking that it might be quite good, but left it. Then later on Chris said that it was excellent and something that you would rate, so I shnaffled it... :eyebrows:

Fooking £35, though, but the dude gave me £5 off, for cash! He then mentioned something about one of the members of the band dying recently?

Marco.

[Rare Bird]

Aye the keyboard player

Is it on candy floss records? if so yes it's rare about 500 copies only.

[The Grand Wazoo]

I thought about it.....and then I thought about it again.........but even for 30 quid, lovely package that it is, I thought I'd better stick with my CD of it!
Most importantly though Marco, do you like it?

[Rare Bird]

Aye i have the sundazed CDee..could do with the fuzzy all the same.

Edit: just noticed it's a reisshew in which case £30 was expensive

[Marco]

Is it on candy floss records? if so yes it's rare about 500 copies only.

This is a reishoo, dude, not an original, and it's on Sundazed :)

Marco.

[Rare Bird]

aye 2LP set should be about £25 tops :eyebrows:

[Marco]

I thought about it.....and then I thought about it again.........but even for 30 quid, lovely package that it is, I thought I'd better stick with my CD of it!
Most importantly though Marco, do you like it?

Lol - indeed. Haven't played it yet, but will be doing so later today, so will let you know :cool:

Marco.

[Marco]

Just been listening to the album - and I LURVES it! Nice 'floaty', chillax'd sounds, with some manic mayhem thrown in occasionally for good measure. The vinyl version is iimmaculately recorded and a nice quiet pressing, too! :guitar:

Marco.

[The Grand Wazoo]

Excellent!

[Rare Bird]

I better get my arse in gear with the Sundazed Vinyls before it's too late, there's some good reisshews on there at the mo..

[Marco]

Well, dude, I can thoroughly recommend the C.A. Quintet! :)

Marco.

Emerson Lake & Palmer - Trilogy

http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/images/ELP-Tri.jpg

The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky

http://www.cargo-records.de/cover/00052206.jpg

[DSJR]

I always thought Trilogy was a great album and really well recorded/produced (but not on Manticore vinyl). When the above APP one came out, I thought it horrible until I later played it and found it was the early 80's Naim/'Brik combo that was spoiling it - it's fine now...

[Marco]

As someone unaware of the difference (as I haven't done the comparison), what is so bad about the Manticore versions? :)

Marco.

[stupinder]

No idea, but it's official, so should be OK...

Andre. I've been wondering if this Rhino cut will be better than the Friday Music edition. Can you post if this is a Chris Bellman cut - 'CB' in the deadwax. T&AW is Friday Music and they can be a mixed bag SQ wise -anyway have an early green/orange Atlantic of this (unfortunately not plum). Originals of Close to The Edge were never that great soundwise.

Paul.

[Rare Bird]

Hi Paul
I don't know they have'nt arrived yet..The old issues of 'CTTE' i used to have (leather grain effect cover) on vinyl were dull imho, the one i'm waiting for was the only one i saw available, so i grabbed it, the 'Time & A Word' was more expensive marked as Ltd Edition so might well be the issue your refering to, i'll let you know when they arrive anyway...

[Audioman]

For CTTE you want the Warner/Rhino new edition. The Friday Music is OK but not outstanding (capitol records mastering). I was speculating the Rhino will be a Grundman Mastering cut like most of their reissues. Also it's cheaper.

As you discovered with TAAW Friday Music are all over the place in packaging quality sometimes ommitting original inserts/sleeve notes. Lack of attention to detail. The best sounding releases are mastered by Kevin Grey. Check their website for details.

http://www.fridaymusic.com/

My second pressing (1971) has a greyish cover similar to that shown. K40085 but original 2400006 as well in the deadwax.

[Rare Bird]

I'm not happy one bit.. I'm sticking with the Rhino Editions..

Snapper Music. On Amazon for £17-99 from Vinylhead. Got it slightly cheaper but that supplier isn't selling it now and it took 2 weeks from US. It's a really good pressing that claims to be from original tapes. They are reported to be doing other titles from the catalog.

Paul.

[Rare Bird]

Do you know if The first two Family fuzzies have had a Vinyl re-release?

[Audioman]

Do you know if The first two Family fuzzies have had a Vinyl re-release?

5 years ago on Tapestry Label. I would think semi official and very limited. Source unknown but more than passable SQ - had all the original inserts. This label reissued quite a few prog and psych titles. Likely needle drops or Cd sources in most cases. The Lp mastering was very good though. It's likely Snapper will put these out in time as they have Chapo's master tapes.

[The Grand Wazoo]

Great stuff Martin, they are an excellent business and I can think of innumerable UK outfits who could learn a whole lot by how they operate.
So did you get the Japanese pressing of 'There's the Rub'? If so, then how does it sound - am I going to kick myself for passing on it?

[MartinT]

I'm listening to it now, Chris, and it sounds very open, dynamic and detailed. Your loss was my gain :)

Yes, Japanese pressing with English cover but Japanese liner notes.

[The Grand Wazoo]

Your loss was my gain

Bugger - I knew it!
Actually the UK first I got sounds really great too.

[MartinT]

There's something about Japanese pressings. So clean.

[Alex_UK]

Hi Martin:
I didnt personally like BJH Polydor releases, im an Harvest Records BJH fan boy . However the album after 'Everyone Is Everybody Else' which is 'Time Honoured Ghost' has a track on it called ''Titles" i thought that was very clever the way the song was completely made up of Beatles Song ''Titles'' ;)

[MartinT]

Very clever :)

I don't have time to listen to the BJH now, will put it through the RCM tonight.

[Thing Fish]

Just purchased -

Wayne Shorter - speak no evil

Aztec Camera "Love" ....nice album. Roddy Frame was 18 or so when they made their first album "High Land Hard Rain ". He's also an excellent guitarist, last saw him playing lead with Edwyn Collins.
Dylan's Infidels......ok.

While in Hamburg for the day I found a nice record shop and bought:

On the Level - Status Quo
London Town - Wings
Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin
Country Life - Roxy Music

Still haven't played them. Still waiting for my Croft Micro 25 to arrive back from update to R spec. :doh:

Just pre-ordered the new Deep Purple album on vinyl, from Amazon:

Description from the website:


Eight years after the release of Rapture Of The Deep, following many rumours later revealed to be unfounded, Deep Purple, one of the most important and influential British rock bands of all time, have confirmed the release of an album completely made of new studio material. After various songwriting sessions in Europe, the band recorded and mixed the album in Nashville with producer Bob Ezrin (in his impressive hit record: Pink Floyd's The Wall, Alice Cooper and many others). The album is rumoured to be the perfect match from the original spirit of 70s Purple, and a fresh and modern production. Ian Gillan has recently revealed a few working titles of songs that might appear on the album: “Out Of Hands”, “Uncommon Man” and “Hell to Pay”.



Should get it this week :)
