Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 3)

[Pigmy Pony]

I taped it from a mate who bought the LP when it came out. Then gave away all my tapes so didn't have it for years. Got it on CD a couple years ago. Had a very vague recollection of it being brilliant, and it is. Get it again!

Yes I should, if only to satisfy my completist tendencies - this, and "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" are the only studio albums I don't have afaik.

Bought some cracking LPs last week off ebay, mint condition. Carla Bley - social studies, which is a great LP, no one else bidded, why I don;t know. And some rather smooth jazz, in the form of Joe Sample from the 90s!! It's good though. A few more ECM LPs on the way, must be my fave label at the minute.

ECM is an excellent label; both for recording quality and for the cover artwork.

However I am now very wary of buying vinyl from ebay. One has to trust the seller's assessment of record wear; something which can backfire. I once bought a record that was very much the worse for wear, despite the seller's description. When I complained, the seller refunded my money and told me to keep the record. Even so, it is now a case of 'once bitten, twice shy'.

Yes totally, but the good thing with ECM and much jazz is that the records or cds mostly look like they've barely been touched!!

Yes I would agree with that - artists on ECM not normally donkey fodder. I'm sure you have posted similar views before Barry, re. classical LPs, where your average collector is more likely to care for his records, and play on decent kit.

I think I may be done with buying vinyl on Ebay too - the last one I bought, which was last year (a Third World album), was listed as NM, but on playing it sounded like it had been chucked in a skip, fallen out of the skip, then the skip lorry had reversed over it before the driver gave it a wipe and sold it to me

Got my money back, but even so it's CDs only from now on.
