I do have one of theirs on vinyl, I think it's their second album, the one with "Pick up the Pieces". Not what you expect a white Scottish band to sound likeThat looks to be a good one Steve. I have an AWB record (forget the title - I'll have a look) which I do like, so a compilation would be if interest to me.There's a lot on this one Barry, double CD with 35 tracks. I got it at a car boot sale a few years ago, so I won't have paid more than a quid. Can be had for a fiver on Ebay.

Nice pick Robin
What are your thoughts on these Abbey Road half speed masters? I have a few, but have not been able to make comparisons with early presses. Though they sound pretty good to me

Hi Steve, I have a uk 1980 copy, very thin vinyl, as many were then. I have just done a short comparison of the two, the 1980 version, to my ears has a bit more energy, the half speed master has a bit more depth to the sound but not huge differences between the two. I only bought the new version as it was on offer on Amazon France. I have a few other Half speed masters, in general if you have a good, clean original it will be hard to beat. I really should do more comparisons. In many cases. It will also be down to who has done the mastering, one of the reasons I have a few “audiophile “ copies of my favourite records.Nice pick Robin

Saw them do AHM in a Free Hyde Park concert in July 1970, I wasn't impressed.. much preferred Kevin Ayers and the Edgar Broughton Band...Started my day with this one, playing side one right now
