Right then - all of those AoS members who got away with it last time around; this thread has come back to get you! (Worryingly, I'm included in that list of people). What have you got lurking in the darkest recesses of your record & CD shelves then?

Back by popular demand, "From the Grave" has returned from the grave.
For new members, From the Grave was a feature started by Nick (Beechwoods) as a means of resurrecting old threads that had been forgotten but still had life in them for further discussion. For some time this task was ably carried out by Chris (The Grand Wazoo), now the baton has been passed to me.
So in honour of the founder, this week's From the Grave is from Nick himself who suggested Cover versions that are/were better than the originals. See if you agree with him and with the other members who contributed.

This week’s thread resurrected ‘From the Grave’ is ‘Six Degrees of Freedom’ . First started by Alex_UK, back in August 2010, is not so much a discussion thread but more of a game.
Based on the premise that anybody in the world is related, or connected, to everybody else by six degrees, Alex applied this to recordings. Staring off with Queens of the Stone Age and ‘Song for the Dead’, the challenge was to follow it with another recording that in some way might be related to the first: through a commonality of performers, or producers, or cover-work artist, or just about anything. Then this second recording was connected to a third, and so on.
In fact as the thread progressed the connections became more and more convoluted, complicated and spurious; which made the game even more interesting. So if you can appreciate the connection between Cliff Richard and Janis Joplin, or the connection between The Manic Street Preachers and Steve Winwood, you might like to play along.
For some reason the thread came to an abrupt halt after 756 posts with Chris’s (The Grand Wazoo) connection to Teenage Fanclub ‘Words of Wisdom and Hope’, but that is no reason why someone out there could not make a connection to a different recording. Go on have a go - you might enjoy it!

Six Degrees of Freedom
This weeks ‘From the Grave’ nomination holds the distinction that it is, so far, the only thread that has been nominated before.
However I make no apologies for this as the subject matter: favourite female singers, is one that is well worth talking about and updating. It is always good to learn of artistes that had previously been unknown, as well as announcing any new discoveries that have been made.
So dating from April 2009, I give you this week’s ‘From the Grave’:
‘The Dancing Walker’s Favourite Female Singers’
There must, by now, be many updates and notification of newer artistes that can be made since the last posting; so all contributions will be very welcome.

'From the Grave' this week is a thread started by Chris (The Grand Wazoo) on Classic Hi-Fi Advertising made over the years.
Unfortunately many of the links to the images posted by members have become broken, but there are still some interesting advertisments to be seen. There is also the most appalling gaff made with a typo of mine - something which will take me a long time to live down!
But anyway, we like looking at pictures of audio equipment here on AoS; especially those of vintage equipment. So if you know of any interesting or amusing audio advertisments culled from the pages of the audio press, why not let us know and post them here?

This week’s From the Grave is a thread started by Erik van Voorst back in May 2011, entitled ‘Hi There – My Homebuild Stuff’.
We on AoS were so amazed, knocked out, flabbergasted and generally impressed by Erik’s DIY skills that the thread was voted Thread of the Year in 2012. And as a reward, Erik was given a new title.
The thread has been chosen before in From the Grave, but I make no apology for bringing it to your attention again. Sadly some of the photographs are missing, and Erik no longer posts here, but what photos remain are sufficient to inspire all DIYers everywhere. And if you’re not a DIYer, well you can just admire Erik’s superb handywork: there cannot be that many people who have built their own CD player!

For this weeks From the Grave, I’m rather embarrassed to say I’ve chosen a question I posed back in 2009, asking what is the purpose of our (often expensive) audio gear.
I chose this thread not because I started it, but because of the variety and, in some cases, the well-written replies it received.
Now that we are in the Prom season, some members I am sure will be attending these live performances, and there are those who may have attended Glastonbury this year. Both, I am sure, would agree that their sound systems cannot get close to reproducing the experience of these occasions – so what is it we are looking for to get out of our system?
What does it for you?
