As different as two albums can be, but nowt wrong with a bit of variety.

Not the record - I'm streaming it to see if after a 40-year absence I still like it. Turns out I do :) So it has to be my next vinyl purchase. Anybody heard the 2016 issue which is what is commonly sold at the moment? What's it like SQ-wise? C'mon Adrian, I know you'll know :)
Probably my favourite PF album.
Saw them do it live back in the early '70s. :)
I bet that was pretty good, and so much better than the post-Waters gig I saw late 80s.Quote:

Detached bungalow mate, I doubt my stereo could go loud enough to be audible to the neighbours. Unless they were in their garden. And who wouldn't want a bit of Alice Cooper while dead-heading the flowers?
Your neighbour's a lazy arse and needs to get a grip :) My old bones won't let me sleep much past 6am.
When I'm at home, the system is on more or less from 'dawn to dusk'. The only time it is off is when I watch TV or want to read.Quote:

I do have the next best thing to a noise-hating neighbour, her name is Anita. She's gone back to bed for a couple of hours, so right now I'm playing Ummagumma at rather low volume.
i dont like beating noises when resting or even when im not listening to music but just still hear the bass line; like you get when a car pulls up with stereo blaringQuote:

Not had a listen to this in years - I have it on vinyl but it's badly warped. (I did flatten it using 2 sheets of glass and about 50 kilo of weights but the warp came back next day).
This is the original CD release from the 1980s so you have to crank the volume up a bit - no loudness wars back then.
Yes it has 'Wonderful Tonight' but there's some good stuff on it too.

Original 1991 CD release.
Bought this on vinyl back when I was at university and played it to death. Brings back some memories.
Two good ones there Martin. :)
(To be read with a Captain Mainwaring 'voice' in mind! ;) )
Excellent choice! :)Quote:
