All on CD (for a change).
Neil Young is great. I still find 'After The Goldrush' amazing, such a display of talent from such a young guy, as he was then.

There is a good mix some I already have but hoping they may be better condition that some I already have. I sat and ultrasonically cleaned the albums on Sunday afternoon.
This one is a better copy and is better than the 180gm re-release IMO.

Nice gift Adrian. :)
I'm not surprised the copy of WYWH is better than the re-release. :rolleyes: Sadly the art (or 'know how') of record pressing seems to be lost. :(
Yes I am very please with them, Sandi, Jon's wife gave me her 70+ records about 2 years ago, and he gave me his when he got to them clearing their loft out getting ready to move. We checked if any interesting ones were 1st issue and valuable, but not the case, even the limited edition Elton John "Yellow Brick Road" is only worth around £20 if you can sell it. They were quite happy for me to benefit form them keeping what I wanted and then trade on the rest to buy other. As you say a very kind gift from some lovely friends, we are godparents to a couple of their children.Quote:

Spun earlier..., possibly my best copy sonically, but needs another clean I think, has suffered from smokey rooms in its life
