I just got a copy of Islands by King crimson, that was supposed to be nr mint, it had more snap crackle and pop than the breakfast cereal you know the name of, doesn't matter cos upon playing it was actually a bit of a crap LP, their next 'Red' sounds better.
I thought you were planning to whittle down your record collection, that idea didn't last long :ner: I would consider holding off on the rarities until after the vinyl bubble has burst, too many chancers about...Quote:

Got a used copy of this from a record shop in Bury this afternoon. Only a tenner. I'll find out what it sounds like tomorrow, but it looks tidy enough.

On the contrary, I've gotten rid of even more, quite enjoying it. Most of the leavers are records that don't have much melody, you know 'experimental' type music, including Kraftwerk. Tend to listen to alot of stuff on the ECM label nowadays. Whittled my Bowie collection from about 7 lps to 3, just don't wanna listen to 'Starman' anymore, too old for it. On the other hand I couldn't part with 'Hunky Dory' because of the incredibly uplifting 'Queen bitch', lol. Basically operating on the premise that life is short, and we all have to bye eventually, so might aswell start getting used to it. emmmm.Quote:

Anyway, the enjoyed Anita's air-fried chips which made up some of the meals so much that she decided to buy them an air fryer for Christmas.
Anyway,while sorting through assorted receipts/gift tokens yesterday (she throws nothing away), she found a forgotten Argos credit note dating from last December for £65. Feels like free money, like putting on a coat you haven't worn for a while and finding a tenner in one of the pockets, but more so :)
So, at what feels like no cost, Anita has become the best neighbour they could ever hope for (their words). Makes me feel warm and fuzzy :)
well done to anita... showing her true self:eek:Quote:
