A complete row of an Album and brilliant ! :fingers:
I don't give a toss about what collectors like or don't like. The only collector I'm concerned about is me.
Collectors have a fetishism over things that simply don't matter: spelling errors on some sleeve notes; vinyl that is coloured other than black; inserts, etc. They would be tumescent over a Charlie Byrd record I have - the record labels are on the wrong side: what should be side A has the centre label for side B, and vice versa!

That's good then.

To you. If it gives them pleasure then I wish them the very best with it.
By the same token, I'm not going to keep stickers on the sleeves of the records in my collection simply because it might affect the resale value of the record.
I buy records to listen to. If at some time I tire of the record and no longer want to keep it, I give it to a charity shop, I'm not interested in selling it.
Fair enough, that's what you do. No path is the only path.Quote:

Style: Experimental, Highlife, African, Jazzdance, Pop Rock, Indie Rock, Psychedelic Rock
Make of that what you will! :lol: )
Last week when considering playing Mike Oldfield's "Return to Ommadawn" I thought I might first play the original album from the 70s. It was then that I found I didn't have a copy :doh:
So went on Ebay and found a 'NM' copy with a starting bid of 3 quid plus postage, and nobody bidding on it. And so that's what I got it for :) And it really is like new, which makes a nice change.

Anita's in the room this morning, doing HMRC stuff. So on with this, she quite likes Genesis.

Ommm... you just need a Tibetan bell and prayer wheel from Ebay now :lol:Quote:

It's not bad imo, but I do have to be in the mood for it. And I do find post-Waters Floyd to all be a bit meh (Momentary lapse of Reason and The Division Bell). But what bugs me about this album is that at 53 mins it's probably too long to go on one record without compromising sq, so it went onto 2 discs, with all the sides having huge run-outs and making me have to get off my arse too frequently. I'm sure they could have found another 20 minutes of material down the back of the sofa, and would then still have fitted comfortably onto a CD.
If I can find a CD copy going cheap enough, maybe that'll be the way to go.
Sorry about the late reply Ade - I was out for a walk with me life partner :)Quote:

Friday night. The greatest of all the nights. I kick off with this:

Primal Scream - 'Give Out But Don't Give Up' (1994).
Daft Punk, Random Access Memories
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/..._AC_SX425_.jpg
I've had this more than 40 years now, and I still can't decide whether or not I like it. Some bits stand out, but much of it just washes over me.
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/..._AC_SX679_.jpg
Think I have a copy of that somewhere. From memory it's not too bad, but I wouldn't put in my top 50.Quote:
