Is this Carnage we're talking about? Who was playing Isobariks, presumably they weren't selling them?

No idea what that room was about, I didn't make a note, maybe Martin knows. And I don't know how they were getting away with playing them so loud, we could still hear them 3 rooms away, over other exhibitors' stuff. I doubt they were flogging anything vinyl-related, none of that would have coped with such extreme SPLs in that tiny room.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

I'd buy that album just for the cover. If there was a record inside that would be a bonus, but not essentialOlivia Newton-John - If Not For You (Deluxe Edition/Remastered 2022) (1971)

And that is exactly why they chose to use it. Though another room there having a bird singing while accompanied by two sticks banging together to showcase £55k speakers wasn't going to win many fans.
Then again there was one room where they played Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. Now we all like a bit of Led Zep, but Whole Lotta Love? On a set up costing tens of thousands? It gave me nothing my modest home system couldn't provide. Akin to test driving a Lamborghini Aventador shod with 50 year old cross-ply tyres.
There is a compromise which could be but wasn't used - pretty much anything produced in the 80s, good tunes well recorded. Stuff we're all familiar with, to make fair comparisons.
What often happens at these shows is that I hear something I like enough to investigate what that tune was, I've bought a lot of music over the years that way, and there wasn't much evidence of that this year. But, I'll still be back there again in 2027

I’ve ordered the DVD! LP will probably follow! Thanks for the wonderful discovery, out on a road trip and playing it on repeat in the car!
