Probably one of the best recordings I have, if you like her then do yourself a favour and treat yourself to a copy before they are gone, I am surprised they are still available.

Tim the owner is very helpful, and I find the prices pretty good, buying individuals is not cost effective, but max P&P cost is £8 by DPD so buying 8 or more it is good value IMO. Sometimes he has to order in records, so if you have not received after a week an email maybe worth while to check, sometimes he will split orders if records may take longer to come in.Quote:

Picked it up cheap, not one I know, apart from "Moonlight shadow", a phone call stop my listening so I will go back to it tomorrow.
What's not like? This album should be in everyone's collection. This, and "Sowing The Seeds..."Quote:

Actually got to sit down and listen to this today, cost me £3.99 off ebay +£4 P&P, I was cleaning some other records this morning so did this as well. I have to say that this is a rather stunning Mike Oldfield album, it's the first where the whole album is not a concept. Crises, all of side 1 is excellent, some thunderous drumming at the end to test speakers out, and overall the dynamics are superb. Side 2 is 5 songs with the famous Moonlight Shadow, all are rather good.
If you like Oldfield the this is one to have IMHO.

I have looked at it carefully under a very bright light and reckon that it has suffered from a smokey room many years ago. Its not terrible just annoying. So I think it will have to undergo a super clean and see if it improves a bit more. I have had one or two vinyls like this before and with perseverance have clean up in the end, so fingers crossed.

I'm picturing loosened crap being dragged along the groove by the stylus, until it accumulates into audible clumps of crap. I'm probably wrong, but further cleans as you say, may be the answer.Quote:

Hi all,Eva Cassidy Nightbird (The entire Blues Alley performance) while waiting for any comments on the 45rpm album on another forum i pulled the trigger as i saw it at £69.99 it arrived saturday and gets its first outing today as the weekend was a full on family time as the last weekend that more than 6 can gather in England ... we made it into an early Xmas do for the 13 of us too ..just in case ..well i digress ...
back to topic ..i'm playing while i type ..but both sides of disc 1 (of the 7) sound fantastic ..Eva's voice is sooo clean with good separation particularly of Eva's voice and the drummers bass, cymbals and piano so far ...I'll update full thoughts in dc (that's due course)
Only negatives so far observed ....
1) That the center hole on the record (if thats the correct term) is very tight for my spindle....TT is Atmo Sfera High End Edition so i think its spindle is well machined.... so i have to 'support' the record and player as i push the record on and again when i remove it... but i've read others comment on this before about these issues for this release on the 33rpm version so i guess its something i'll have to live with as returning the album won't in all probability get me records that have holes that are an easy fix..
2) All the discs are somewhat warped, which i think might of caused more of a problem if my TT had a platter but as mine is a platterless design with quite a range of articulation the needle, so far i'm on disc 2 and its not causing any audible issues ...
Hi, my copy is perfect which I was given as a birthday pressie 2 years ago. If they are warped I would return them and ask for a replacement copy, bad storage is likely to have caused the issue. A couple of mine were tight on the sold left but eased off after a couple of plays. Cheers AdrianQuote:

Use a pencil in the hole. It will extend hole safely. Just put in and turn as you push. A common problem

Thanks Grant thats a great tip ....looking for a pencil as soon as i can drag myself away from the music ..which is difficult right now i've never heard Eva sound so good ..Quote:
