    Nail on head mate. So few these days actually realise that. That sort of music was created to be heard when off one's bonce.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I suggested pretty much the same thing a few months ago, and met with almost universal disagreement. Must have been talking to the daytime "This Morning" and "Loose Women" crowd.

    I wonder what would be good "off your face" listening among the stuff being made these days?
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    Right- I keep seeing that name in these pages, it's time I found some to listen to.

    I was, I did and also liked CCR, reggae, folk, and a lot of other stuff...mind expansion is what it's called.

    Well worth a listen. the first thing I ever heard was this:-



    love em.. some of the live stuff on utube is well worth a look annal

    Back on Thread, Creedence were always a little bit looked down on (I'm guilty as charged) so much so that when I picked up a pristine original UK 1st album down the booty ( 10 years ago) it sat in the "To play" pile for 6 months because it was just a CCR album.
    When I finally got to play it my jaw just dropped.. superb grungy dirty swamp rock and a fantastic recording / pressing. it's now a go too album.
    I have most of the recent 180g relishes but they only get played once in a while and I do think that whilst the box set is nice its overpriced..
    I cannot recommend the 1st album highly enough.. The rest IMHO just don't come quite so close..

    Thank you for the Shpongle Steve, I'll be giving that a play in a couple of hours when Mrs. P leaves the house. And I'll look into that CCR first album too. I've never really gone beyond their singles output.

    Steve as I said it works out at around £20 per album for Abbey Road half speed masters so quite a decent price.
