New Old Stock, 2LP .. still sealed..Spring 'Spring' (Akarma Records)
Truly awesome Leicester band, Mellotrons a go-go

This morning:
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King, the present 200grm vinyl got it in a sale £16.99 free post
Bit cheaper than the £60 Vinyl Exchange in Manchester were asking just the other week...Not sure if they were having a Turkish or a Giraffe tbh, possibly both.
On the plus side I have secured a copy of Sade's first album, mint inner, mint outer and obviously unplayed for the princley sum of £1...By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
I picked a copy of this up in the Vinyl Exchange in Manchester - sixty bloody beer tokens I put it right back. Yes, it WAS the re-issue. Since then seen various issues priced between 22 and <silly amount> so I have the digital version. I don't like it that much but it does bring back memories of a particularly lissom young lady
This week - Psychedelic Furs, Jesus & Mary Chain and The Damned. Seem to have got stuck in the early 80s

180 gram vinyl "I Am The Cosmos" - Chris Bell, 180 gram vinyl "of the people/by the people/for the people from" - The Common People, 180 gram vinyl "Sanctuary II" - The Byrds. Brilliant, all.

Hi Martin
I'm very very impressed with this re-issue, the best one ive seen to date, very good quality, i especially like they way they made the label look a bit like a 1st issue Pink Island jobbie.. The drumming near the end of 'In The Court'' sounds miles better to me than the Japanese HQCD edition i have..
Just been to Probe Records, in Liverpool, and got the following on brand new vinyl:
Drums Between The Bells - Brian Eno/Rick Holland.
The Singles Collection - The Creation.
Ekstasis - Julia Holter.
Off to spin them, after I've finished watching the Euro Championships!
Marco.
