    Ah B Movie...I downloaded Remembrance Day as a guilty guilty pleasure but it is actually pretty naff "in the forest in the snow all those many years ago" I hope they didnt give up the day jobs.

    I would like to see new figures for the vinyl revival. Ok even lowering one of Peter Pritchards XLM specials is very pleasant indeed but Im moving the other way in that I dont consider a large vinyl collection to be serious proposition in 2018

    I think we have now been spoilt with the digital convenience and (dare I say it) sound. I have a nice dabble with vinyl and will probably finish it nearer a Rega Planar 3 than the new Sondek.

    Done the Holidays Shop today, including a visit Tesco.
    In the music aisle, in Vinyl, I found 'Nirvana Unplugged', Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'.
    Fleetwood Mac ' Rumours', Jeff Wayne's ' War of the Worlds', there were others as well ranging in price from
    £15 - £21.

    In Dundee HMV recently I noted about 24 feet of racks devoted to LPs. There's only about 2 feet for classical CDs. Mad world - I thought vinyl had died - and the prices of the new ones are higher than the ones I used to buy 30 years ago. There were also some poxy little vinyl turntables.

    I'm sure it will be - if it is played on those overpriced "poxy little vinyl turntables".
