Interesting cover - if Dan d'Agostino went into making record players, it would probably look like that.Quote:

I bought it when it first came out - I can't remember where I got it from, unfortunately. I can't remember how I first discovered it, either. It's a bit full-on - can't say I would recommend it for 30 quid!Quote:

See what you mean Barry, though you had me 'stumped' till I saw the back of the cover. I had to 'log' onto Discogs to get this pic :)Quote:

Coincidentally, I played this one earlier:Quote:

I went to play that one a while ago, turns out I don't have it :doh: I was certain I did... I'll get a copy off Music Magpie, and in the meantime this'll do instead:Quote:

What a wonderful, funky vinyl colour.

Little Barrie - Shadow
Listening to the Beatles anthology - the version with unreleased tracks and practice versions of their songs, makes you appreciate their genius, the most poppy songs reveal their inner rocker, tracks that 'That means a lot', and 'It's only love', the melodies of course are the real genius.

Great jazz derived music, sort of thing one finds on the ECM label.

Is that the follow up to his "Underpants Drum 'n' bass" album? Never heard of that one.Quote:

Not my sort of thing. :eyebrows:

First pressing
Good album. From 1997, before vinyl was popular again, so probably not many around :) The only Chemicals album I have on vinyl is "Exit Planet Dust", definitely not first pressing.Quote:

I must be older than yo, because when this was released (1995) I was 30 and largely done with those sorts of recreational activities, more's the pity :(
Nope, in 1995 I was 37, "the oldest swinger in town" :) I know that song was by Fred Wedlock, that shows my age!Quote:

I'll stick with my CD copy. :)
That's the only Donald Fagin recording I think is any good. Have listened to his successive discs, but couldn't get on with them.Quote:

Had a quick look on Ebay, vinyl copies of Tracy Chapman and also her "Crossroads" album have rather high asking prices. Don't know why, I know they're very good but not what I would call 'classic' albums. I bet if I could be arsed checking, there might be plenty of other surprises value-wise.Quote:

I don't know, I've never actually played it.Quote:
