The last one of the evening, so time to chill down. FUCKING LOUD.
Gotta love the comedy pricing, which was the reason I bought from this particular record shop and not my local
Amazing to think, there’s been nothing like them, 50 years later.
Punk was a necessary "kick up the arse" of the music industry, and an antidote to the anodyne AOR current at the time.Quote:

I moved from childhood to adolescence with this as a soundtrack, it will always have a special place on my turntable... :rock:Quote:

It is. I only discovered it a few years ago. A few people who have come round when it's been playing have asked 'Who's this?' and said they really like it.Quote:

One of my favourite Stones LP. But that bloody zip was in danger of damaging the adjacent record! Not a problem with the CD. :)
My vinyl copy doesn't have the real zip it's just some early 1980s reissue.Quote:

Another classic! Despite the rather 'twee' sleeve artwork.Quote:

I never got what the deal was with 'Pet Sounds'.
No, I don't think I do really, just seemed appropriate to play it!Quote:

If you like Zep, here's a WE system doing it filmed by me this year at Munich.
Huge scale, amazing 3D image, technically piss poor but it just didn't matter.
You had to be there to get it. Playing this back on my main system proves you had to be there.
It's a Silbatone tradition to play this every year they are there.

Western Electric cinema speakers. Like all cinema speakers at the time they weren't very good, just efficient and loud as they had to fill the large volume of a typical cinema.Quote:

They're very good, just not technically very good. Nothing quite like them for visceral impact and presence.Quote:

Is there any consensus on the best, reasonably priced vinyl pressing of this ?
Mine too :fingers: :fingers:Quote:

Rush "All The World's A Stage".
Haven't spun this for decades. By Jove they attack the songs with great verve.
They did some great songs, stuff you have to sing along to (badly) :) But both my Kinks albums are 'best ofs', I've never heard what their non-hit songs are like.Quote:

Live album taken from 1989/1990 'Steel Wheels' tour.
Interesting - I saw them in 1990 at Maine Road Manchester, it was called the Urban Jungle tour, which I imagine was the same set.Quote:
