I must admit, I also like Roxette. They were a 'pop' band, but had real talent and certainly turned out memorable stuff. (much in the same way the Eurythmics did I suppose)Quote:

Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This, this is my favourite Eurythmics album, I don't think that (for me) they ever did anything to top this album!!
Yes I will come away with you Norah. Where are we going? :)Quote:

You've just reminded me I still need to get a CD copy of this, which has got to be better than the vinyl picture disc I have which is unplayable cack.Quote:

This was waiting for me when I got in from work (love it when that happens), it's the 12" 45rpm single, kindly gifted me by Barry from these very pages.
To say this was NM would be an understatement, it plays like brand new, in fact better than much of what passes for brand new these days :) As for the music... if I'd known it would be like this I'd have bought a copy years ago.
So thank you Barry.
didn't we listen to that at the last NEBO - or was it 'Nightclubbing'?Quote:

I owe you a vinyl 'Argus'. Not going to post that though.
Glad to hear it arrived safely Steve. I posted it Monday lunchtime, "snail mail". :D
Enjoy!
Barry
Quite right, I'll just collect it when I'm next over, hopefully soon. Oh and it was "Nightclubbing" at NEBO.Quote:

Yes it's very similar. Not much benefit but some. I've got a Fish album on two 45s. Did not realise when I bought it, my turntable only had 33.3 RPMQuote:

Well, I'm quite sure you've read my view on CD vs Vinyl regarding sound quality (not that I want to start that debate off again) so, I'd say get the CD if you want to listen to it (after all, that's why CD was invented in the first place) !! I picked up my copy on CD from a car boot sale for 50p; I also have a copy of the original vinyl version that I bought shortly after its release back in the day!! :thumbsup:Quote:
