It is, but a quality one imo. I wouldn't feel short changed paying full price (though I didn't).

That kind of thing bugs me.

As with Barry, they are nearly all car boot or charity shop purchases, so that's alright. If spending full whack I always favour a 'regular' album by someone I like over a 'best of' by an artist with a patchy output.

Yup, we're in agreement there, gringo.

Only thing with me is that I almost never buy 'pop' records from charity shops, as they're almost never in acceptable condition (I'm *super* fussy in that respect). Classical or jazz only, as they tend to be well-looked after. So any second-hand 'pop' (rock, etc) albums I own have been bought from record shops, where I've paid decent money for examples in near-mint condition:)

Do you own a professional record cleaner, btw? I wouldn't entertain buying second-hand vinyl otherwise...

:o You know I haven't, I know this because you've asked me before! I'll get round to it at some point so stop nagging!

My car boot/charity shop purchases are limited to CD, with the odd s/h vinyl coming from record shops where I can see the condition before buying. I've risked the odd purchase online, (ex+ or nm) and so far I've been lucky, touch wood :)

Lol - I thought I'd asked, but didn't know for sure... Would've made an ideal Xmas pressie! I'd 'mark Anita's card' accordingly for your birthday:ner:;)

Yeah, CDs are generally fine, although I certainly wouldn't entertain any that were scratched. RCMs, though, are a vital tool in the arsenal of any serious vinyl enthusiast - jeez, even brand new records are rarely 'clean'...

Don’t know whether this should be in the jazz section or not:scratch:

This turned up today, I purchased it on recommendation by a Grant(Struth), and as I am a sucker for Prog Rock, I found a relatively well priced NM/NM copy, I already have their first album which is great. It seems copies of this can fetch quite a lot. On first listen it is good musically with some interesting sound effects used on some tracks, different to their first album but certainly a good one.
