4 LP's and 3 CD's. Played and recorded well, it's a corker.

Sorry, I seem to have missed linking this to Idlewithnodrive's earlier post
Pixies burned bright around the late 80s/early 90s, then just sort of went away. (Note they liked to be called Pixies, not The Pixies, I'm sure you will have known that) .I have some of their early albums up to Bossanova, and I saw them live when they were touring that album (one of the best live acts I've ever seen). All I've heard that is relatively recent is their superb and rather dark cover of "Que Sera Sera".
So what's this like, and when was it recorded?
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

Ive also been a Pixies fan from the beginning and, yes, I did know that. Recorded 2004 and still as potent as ever, if not more so. Very well recorded , all the right songs, with variations of each across the 4 nights and a total, ridiculous, stone cold bargain !Sorry, I seem to have missed linking this to Idlewithnodrive's earlier post

Steamhammer Mountains
Came across this bands 1st album in a local charity shop, who were asking silly money for it, it reminded me of them and this album, which I am more familiar with. I found a new copy from Repertoire Records on Discogs at a sensible price. Repertoire IMO do an excellent job re-releasing albums, this copy is superb and it is a classic album of raw blues/rock, sounds like they are in the room, if blues/rock is your bag then it is one I would thoroughly recommend to get.

Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Natural,180 gram
Country: UK
Released: 29 Sep 2023

Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.
Analog Inputs: Pro-Ject Signature 10 TT & arm, Benz Micro LP-S, Michel Cusis MC, Goldring 2500 and Ortofon Rondo Blue cartridges, Hitachi FT5500 mk2 Tuner

I think I am nearing audio nirvana, but dont tell anyone.

Always loved the Steamhammers tho Mountains is perhaps my least loved and have the repertoire CD's of all of them. Just wanted to add that if you like the feel of their first 2 albums then this might be a must have:-
There's a 2010 CD "reish" on Flawed Gems
Add water... Makes It's own sauce! + Don't Do Rap.. Don't do Urrban.. Don't do Modern R&B and Don't Do Radio 1 cos it's all fecking SHITE
