Fantastic LP, one of Rory Gallagher's best! :)Quote:

'Pet Sounds' by the Beach Boys is a concept album - on the adolescent uncertainties and doubts we all feel when growing up. It is a classic album, and inspired and influenced the Beatles in the making of 'Sgt Pepper'. I certainly wouldn't say it "stinks", but if you don't like the sound of the vocal harmonisation, I can perhaps understand.
Good one Dom. :)Quote:

Got that too, but unfortunately not "Dusk". I was seeking out a copy recently, motivated by someone on here who was playing it (probably you) :) and couldn't believe the prices being asked :eek: Glad I got the others in the 80s when prices were more realisticQuote:

still as good as it was...and maybe better...
Is it the re-mastered version Grant?
I found the original vinyl pressing a tad 'dull' in SQ, but the re-master certainly adds a bit more life to the recording.
its the remastered cd version. well its the legacy version actuallyQuote:

When the CBS catalogue was bought up by Sony, as a celebration Sony issued several titles on a gold disc CD. There were a couple of Robert Johnson titles as well as the Carol King.
But the specialist pressing of some recordings can fetch silly prices. Just look at the Nimbus pressing of titles such as Miles Davis's 'Kind of Blue' and Joan Armatrading's first LP, which were offered by a couple of Hi Fi magazines.
Thought it was time I added this one to the collection as was one I was missing, I know a lot of people hate the latter Genesis albums but this one is extremely good IMO, some great songs and well produced. I think we all have a bit of Genesis in us. Picked this NM+/NM copy up on Discogs for a good price, well worth it.

This arrived today which I had pre-ordered. I have not heard it since at my friends in 1974/5 and I had forgotten just what a stunning album it is, a mix of Psychedelic rock as was the penchant in '67, with some very interesting quirky songs, form the band, and it has The Who's stamp all over it, you can also get the feel for the direction they were going with Pete Townsends compositions especially on Real.
If you like The Who then I would recommend you grab a copy of this while you can. The pressing SQ on my copy is superb on both LPs.
