It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I'm in total agreement with you about Eurythmics; great band, Dave Stewart is a very talented guy and Annie Lennox, well , she speaks for herself........ great voice!! Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This, this is my favourite Eurythmics album, I don't think that (for me) they ever did anything to top this album!!

You've just reminded me I still need to get a CD copy of this, which has got to be better than the vinyl picture disc I have which is unplayable cack.

GRACE JONES IN PROMPTLY DELIVERED POSTAL ITEM SHOCK!
This was waiting for me when I got in from work (love it when that happens), it's the 12" 45rpm single, kindly gifted me by Barry from these very pages.
To say this was NM would be an understatement, it plays like brand new, in fact better than much of what passes for brand new these daysAs for the music... if I'd known it would be like this I'd have bought a copy years ago.
So thank you Barry.

didn't we listen to that at the last NEBO - or was it 'Nightclubbing'?GRACE JONES IN PROMPTLY DELIVERED POSTAL ITEM SHOCK!

BTW 'The Wall' arrived today, thanks very much. Really confused me as it was obviously a CD but I was sure I'd received all my latest orders.
I owe you a vinyl 'Argus'. Not going to post that though.

Glad to hear it arrived safely Steve. I posted it Monday lunchtime, "snail mail".
Enjoy!

Quite right, I'll just collect it when I'm next over, hopefully soon. Oh and it was "Nightclubbing" at NEBO.
This 12" that Barry has given me (no tittering at the back) sounds so much better than my 33rpm album (which in itself is pretty good), I wonder if the faster playing speed can be a factor, like with reel to reel vs. cassette?

Yes it's very similar. Not much benefit but some. I've got a Fish album on two 45s. Did not realise when I bought it, my turntable only had 33.3 RPM
Fifteen years later I get a Technics SL1200 - woo hoo I can finally play it. Take it out and it's warped to buggery. And it's crap.

Well, I'm quite sure you've read my view on CD vs Vinyl regarding sound quality (not that I want to start that debate off again) so, I'd say get the CD if you want to listen to it (after all, that's why CD was invented in the first place) !! I picked up my copy on CD from a car boot sale for 50p; I also have a copy of the original vinyl version that I bought shortly after its release back in the day!!
Before anyone chirps in.................I have plenty of vinyl records, I do listen to them and I do like them !!
It isn't necessarily about doing things right, its also about doing the right thing !!!
