    Marco I was referring to the bee in my bonnet regarding using stock photos pulled of the web

    Whilst it's nice to know, and sometimes enlightening as to what others are listening to, I'm really more interested in seeing the classical vinyl others are finding or records in their collection and their views on the recordings etc so I've decided this thread is not for me.

    Ah, gotcha! Plus it must've been a bit of a ball-ache photographing and uploading pics of every album you've been listening to... The rest of us just do it the easy way!

    Actually it's not, takes less than a minute but I can think of an even easier way, don't post any pics saves all that time uploading to a hosting service

    Despite several attempts, I've never managed to upload any pictures to this site - frankly I can't see why anyone would bother - it's about the music not photography...

    If you "can't see why anyone would bother" then why did you make several attempts to upload pictures

    Anyway some use has come of your post as I shan't bother any more.

    Totally baffling!
    I'm very careful to use the stock images of the actual LP I have, and I suspect that others here are, too - for the life of me I cannot see a problem with that. It will look almost identical!
    And I often am playing recent purchases and all records are from my own collection, and I often provide brief comments on them, thus seemingly fulfilling your other requirements. You only have to express an interest (as some have done) and I am sure I would be happy to expand my prose.

    Or am I missing something?
    There seems to be a total disconnect here.
    Can some kind soul enlighten me?

    'tis marvellous and strange how differently we perceive things - still, vive la difference and all that.

    CD

    -- playing again!
    This continues to grow on me and I liked it to start with. Tuneful 'big orcehstral' with nicely raucous brass and percussion interjections. Great fun, sad and happy, good sq, too.
