Can't beat a bit of ZZ Top. :)
If you picked it up on a whim and have since been playing it regularly for 30yrs, that's what I call a proper endorsement !! It really is a great album !! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:Quote:

These days the only way to find decent vinyl in good nick and for a sensible price is by having a good look in antique/bric-a-brac shops. Mind you, you often have to wade through a lot of "tut" to find something of interest, and in my experience you are more likely to be successful with Classical music LPs (I think because those interested in this genre tend to take more care in handling them and playing them on a better than average record player).Quote:

And as far as boot sales are concerned - I don't even bother to look anymore: most of the stuff is of no interest to me and is usually in dreadful condition. Anyway the 'vampire' buyers have usually hoovered up anything half-decent, consulted their record buyer's guide and sell it on at many, many times what they paid for it.

Don't - I would want to buy up all of your Jazz and Blues LPs, just as my 'other half' is dropping hints as to my thinning out my music collection. And in getting rid of a lot of kit as well!Quote:
