Each to his own, eh?
I can't hear any difference between spinning a disc or streaming via my Squeezebox Touch, but the latter means that I don't have a mountain of discs to root through to find albums to play.

Currently playing the 24/96 files of ITCOTCK, and it sounds great :cool:

It's an illogical dislike Chris :) I just like the ritual despite the inconvenience and set in my ways :D

Ive been indulging in this all evening, like Prog mastermen do :eyebrows:

I never felt CD to be a tactile experience at all and don't miss it now I've gone 100% over to streaming for digital. Vinyl on the other hand - that gives me all the touchy-feely stuff I need :eyebrows: :eek:

Fair enuff :)
I actually have had enough of digging through a mountain of discs to find the one I want to play, hence the server/client route.

Doesn't work with the spinny plastic squiggle discs though, and I still buy 'em new occasionally - Mr Fagens new one being a case in point :D

I get where you're coming from 100%.
With the vinyl side of things, I have an Okki Nokki on order, so my touchy-feely sessions should be more crackle free :D

I have woken up soooo many times with no voice and a very sore throat after an evening with Re Genesis on stage. Hope you had a great night!
The problem of so many knowing the entire catalogue so well and insisting on singing along to every track in a semi drunken state..

As soon as those imortal words were said - Suppers Ready, silence, followed by chaos.

Brilliant, brilliant nights out.

But do you have the matching sheepskin rug Chris? :lol:

Regarding the UK Jewel case version of the set, i find it slightly illogical..Being the Japanese edition all the card sleeves are replicas of the original vinyl sleeves:

- UK Island variant design, gatefold sleeve

- US stereo Atlantic variant design, gatefold pasted sleeve

- 1977 Argentinean variant design, gatefold sleeve with Spanish language text

- US Atlantic mono promo variant design, stickered pasted gatefold sleeve with 3 replica 'DJ copy monaural Not For Sale' stickers

- Japanese variant sleeve design, gatefold pasted card with die-cut wraparound obi strip

Just doesnt work with Jewel cases :rolleyes:
