I tell you what, The Best of Orbital LP is worth buying a turntable set-up alone for. Awesome stuff.

Ooh I say, well spotted. Guess what site i'll be visiting for the rest of the afternoon. Dirt cheap AND free postage

I did recently order an LP from HMV online. I'm not sure what other online vinyl suppliers package their LP's up like but HMV's boxes did seem a little flimsy...............altho for these prices I guess I cant complain too much.

Rest assured. i've used hmv for ages and only once had a duff disc. i rang them up and they sent a fresh one straight out. no worries, didn't have to return the crap one either. good site

They have a lot of great Gil Scott-Heron albums but they're all £8.99 I have them all on CD, and on mini-LP CD digi-pack reissue, I really can't justify buying them again, especially since it's Christmas and I should be buying for other people. Someone else will need to buy some and let me know that they've really got into Gil Scott-Heron as a result. Start with the 'Revolution Will Not Be Televised' early stuff comp or 'Winter In America', worth it for The Bottle alone

Most of the good stuff has gone already. Thankfully I got my order in quick for Dylan's Modern Times. It's now back upto £17.99 rather than the sale price of £4.99.

Good stuff, chaps. I hope you get plenty of bargains

The HMV in Wrexham used to have a small section of new vinyl, which was useful if I wanted something fairly mainstream. Unfortunately though it's been removed and replaced with a load of rubbish plastic bloody MP3 players!!

Boo, I say, to so-called 'progress'!

Marco.

well i talked that up a treat. james brown-live at the apollo arrived, oops no it didn't - in its place was 'black caesar ost'.
gave them a bell and i'm sending it back freepost. surely they must have made 0.0000p from this transaction by now
still, fast delivery and good customer service

Received a couple of my purchases in the mail. Nicely packaged, no probs. A little disappointed with The Orbital 'Works' double LP. It's a DJ copy, no outer sleeve, just a white label centre so no idea which of the two LP's i'm playing or which of the 4 sides i'm chosing. I know, you cant complain for £4.99 but still, they should've listed that on the website. If i'd have paid £17 i'd have been a bit pissed. But i'll survive

My copy of 'Trans Europe Express' is lovely tho. Not half bad for a fiver

[muffinman]

My copy of orbital turned up today in the same White label guise. I don't worry that I don't know which side is playing-dance music all sounds the same to me.
I'm listening to it now and the Sound quality is excellent.
Indeed, I believe I might actually be 'avin it' as I type
