Probably my second favourite of theirs.
Box set? I thought it was a stand alone LP. If you want to sell it, I would be interested.Quote:

Monster tchooon !
I remember that coming out, my mate's sister bought it. She liked A Flock Of Seagulls too. I thought that was quite sophisticated taste at the time. Suppose it still is.Quote:

Great Album

Musically not their best but it is a showcase production. I got it on vinyl when it came out but I've no recollection of buying the CD. Must have been a while back.

Just because of the previous posts about it, I thought I'd play it!! A Flock Of Seagulls 1982 debut album. I have this on the original vinyl (bought it when it came out) and also on CD................... guess which format i'm playing it on ?? :lol:
Well, now let me think about it, if it were me, it would almost certainly be vinyl [emoji16] The 80's were my vinyl buying hey days !Quote:

:lol: Well, if you've read my posts since I came on here, you'll know that although I have/use many formats, my fav is CD, although I do still play my vinyls on the odd occasion. For me, the 70's and the very early 80's were my vinyl days - when CD first arrived (around 1983/4) I moved to CD.Quote:

It's a very similar story for me, when CD arrived I switched to buying CD's, even selling vinyl and replacing them with the CD version as and when they were released, (in hindsight perhaps not the shruedest move with many first pressings sold for only a few pounds!!) love both mediums and fortunate to have cd and vinyl front ends which are equally enjoyable.Quote:

Charli XCX - Brat. Released earlier this year, the most modern thing my stereo has seen in a long time. Not sure if it's progress, but I borrowed it from a mate, so no buyer's remorse.

Not over-thrilled with SQ of the above, so went on dynamic range database. Where this scores from 02 to 07, so that's not great. Probably intended to sound good with crappy earbuds. So it's back to my last-century recordings.
I'd say the CD got off lightly; if it were me, it would not even been allowed in my house, let alone near my hi-fi system :lol: - IN A NUTSHELL........... 95% OF TODAYS MAINSTREAM MUSIC IS NOTHING MORE THAN FKN SH1T............. AND THAT'S BEING POLITE ABOUT IT!!!!!!! EACH TO THEIR OWN THOUGH. :thumbsup:Quote:

Had their moments afterwards but I still think this is the best thing they ever did.
It must feel like a real pleasure / honour evey time you use that.Quote:
