Just looked on Amazon and Ebay - vinyl prices start at 70-odd quidOriginally Posted by Macca
So that's not happening. I still don't have "Can't buy a Thrill" and "Pretzel Logic", so one of those two will be my next purchase, and the above mentioned album can wait.
I know I could get it much cheaper on CD, but for some reason not even known to me I want vinyl only for the Dan, as it is with Zappa and Hendrix. Maybe I need professional help.
Edit: just put a bid on a CD copy of this, which is one twentieth of the vinyl cost. Can't argue with that logic.

More Joe. Excellent live album this, well recorded.
Has a nice, pared down cover of "Girl", which brings me to this:

I'm afesteringvinylphile.
Don't really know if I would disagree... I grew up with my dad's Honky Chateau and Greatest Hits but when this hit my turntable as an adult, it was an eye opening experience in a very good way. In a case of "the house is burning grab an Elton John album"... this would be the one for me.
PROBABLY A LOT OF YOU WONT AGREE BUT, I THINK THIS IS AN ALBUM WHICH I BELIEVE ELTON WAS AT HIS BEST !!
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

Yeah, a gift from my Son, only played once when we were having dinner, so not had a proper listen yet, first impressions mellow jazzy afrobeat, a little rapping at the start of one track which is a shame, but it didn't sound too offensive. I'll give it a proper go soon.
