Just ordered this as a treat to myself... in the Demon sale at £30 (Amazon selling it for three times that price!). Can't wait to get my hands on this...

 | Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3723 Points Moderator | Went a bit nuts yesterday... but it was all good. Had one of those days you dream of having when out foraging, where I just kept getting winner after winner in the bins, and causing me to spend lose to £30 on 18 vinyl albums, 12 vinyl singles, a digpak album and a CD single! All the talk of classical music vinyl albums, and the excellent link posted in the forum thread about inherited classical vinyl here by deltic, made me want to get some of these label examples in my collection, and see what all the fuss was about as regards the audio quality... so I set out to scour those bins of neglected classical vinyl I keep passing over in the charity shops. Thought I'd fail in this attempt, but managed to get a german pressed Deutsche Grammophon of Brahms (Tulip Rimmed label), an HMV red with black half moon dog label of a Toscanini conducted Beethoven symphony selection, and even a Decca wide band label of Benjamin Britten doing William Blake, John donne (none of which are super rare or expensive - hence my ability to find them! - but at least I have them to hand in order to know what those labels look like while tentatively dipping my toe into the classical world of vinyl) Haven't listened to them yet, but will. Cosmetically though, you can see these are a different order of plastic altogether from that standard fare they press rock and pop on to... thick, and super shiny (Compared the Decca wide band with Let It Bleed, which also has a "Wide band" unboxed label, and is contempory with this Classical Decca, and you can see what Decca saved all the good wax for!). But while out, I started getting albums turn up again and again that I'd wanted: The Stranglers: Feline Roxy Music: Flesh + Blood, and Avalon George Harrison: Somewhere in England John Lennon: Double Fantasy Robert Plant: The Principle Of Moments Santana: Caravanserai, and Borboletta Elvis Presley: G. I. Blues, And the comeback T. V special album. Cat Stevens: Catch Bull At Four Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Stevie Wonder: Talking Book, Songs In The Key Of Life, and Hotter Than July. Jimmy Knepper: Tell Me (Rare jazz album, which I got because it's on that curious Affinity /Charly label). And also Sparks: the Number One Song In Heaven 12" blue vinyl. Singles I found: The Beatles: Let It Be (In a Help reissue sleeve) The Jess Roden Band: Under Suspicion (Island D. J. Copy) Fifth Dimension: 7" Mini album (Scoop 33) Saxon: Never Surrender Fleetwood Mac: Dreams Emerson, Lake, and Palmer: Fanfare For The Common Man Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg: Je T'aime (Looking forward to listening to that one!) Ned Miller: From a Jack To A King (It's on the old faithful silver top London label, I Just grab these whenever I see them now) The Walker Brothers: Deadlier Than The Male David Bowie: Boys Keep Swinging. Forrest: Rock The Boat. Louis Armstrong: E. P. (RCX-1007). The digipak was Seasick Steve: Dog House Music, and the Cd Single was a contribution to my Oasis CD bingo game I'm playing: Supersonic. How happy am I!?!  £30 doesn't seem that much now I've itemised it. |

 | The_Vinyl_Junkie SUBS My body is on the diminishing streak. Member since Dec 2011 8045 Points Moderator | I had contemplated buying the latest "M Girls" CD but was only available on-line as a special with a DVD. The price was ok until the postage value was given and that was dearer than the item. They reckoned the weight of the item packed was over 800grams. I canned the order thinking to myself "did I really want it". |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3723 Points Moderator | There are a few things I'd like to get, but for the sheer cost of doing so. Still haven't got Pink Floyd- Endless River on Vinyl, but that costs 29-30 quid! Measure that against what I spent on the list of goodies above, which is going to take me a while to properly appreciate, the term "Value for Money" comes into sharp focus. The Floyd album will turn up in a boot fair or charity shop for a snip at some point, I'm sure of it (Unwanted present, disappointed purchaser), so I can wait... and it's more fun that way, when you add in the excitement of the hunt, and the thrill of the unexpected find... great. Life is like a box of Vinyl... You never know what you gonna get! |

 | Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | Actually -- bought for me today -- my sweetie greeted me today with a stack of 30 78s picked up in a junque store in a town near here. Some very tasty pieces including a 1958 (non-hit) from Eddie Cochran, a release on the Felsted label from 1958, that was not on 78 in the USA, and some Ruth Wallis. Will try to get them up this weekend -- unless I'm busy  Amy |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3723 Points Moderator | Went back to the charity store today (I'm going to have to lay off buying for a while, as I've gone a bit nuts recently) in order to try and find the Elvis: Memphis to Vegas album, so I could reunite it with the photo that came in my NBC TV album (and hopefully find the other). Alas, it was not to be... ...But did come out with: Fleetwood Mac: Then Play On Hawkwind: (First Album) The Who: A Quick One (Reaction, No Sleeve  , but nice vinyl )Herman's Hermits: Blaze (Stereo US) Nice Enough To Eat: Island Compilation on white "I" pink label A mint copy of Ike and Tina Turner: River Deep, Mountain High on London, ...and one for our faster revolving friends: Teresa Brewer: Copenhagen 78rpm. Spent: £6 I had a little dig around in the 78s at last... don't know why, none of the names mean much to me, but mainly to if there was anything other than classical.... seems so! I started going out just after Crimbo, figuring that would be when people would be furnished with new gadgets, or just need to get rid of a lot of old stuff, and so deposit a load of juicy vinyl in the cherity shops... disappointed the first couple of weeks, but Monday last, and Today... BONANZA! My advice is: Get yourselves in the charity shops NOW, because if it's the same where you are as it is near me... the charity shops are loaded with new stuff!!!!! |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | My sweetie got me a small stack more today -- some nice Canadian RCA Victor Bluebird Series 78s which I've started adding.

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3723 Points Moderator |  I did hesitate when I posted... but didn't want to appear to be drawing any stereotypical conclusions... "maybe she just likes K. D. Lang's music", I thought! (Or maybe you are K. D Lang?, in which case of course, the first thought is moot.) Still, I think the central point may still hold! |

| Magic Marmalade If you're not lost... It's not an adventure! Member since Jun 2014 3723 Points Moderator | Can't grumble at that price! I do like those RCA Victor labels like the Reeves one... they have a chunky, solid feel about them. Went out Friday and had a 45s day (strange how some days it's almost exclusively albums you find, the next time CDs, and on another occasion it's singles, but never an even spread I find). Found those Canadian Motown singles (45cat), a Regal Zonophone Tyrannosaurus Rex Debora, Animals House of the rising sun, a couple of Kinks singles, and 20 or so others... so was very happy indeed (just a shame the albums were a bit thin on the ground that day). |

| Jock_Girl A girl who looks good in vinyl Member since Dec 2012 1544 Points Moderator | What is particularly cool is when you find something from some far off place, like a Chinese or Australian 78 here in Canada. You have to wonder exactly HOW that record made it here. Of course the other side of that is is how it made it across the years and thousands of kilometres without breaking, yet as soon as you get it home from just 5km away you accidentally crack it by just setting it on a table!

| Iggypig Pop cassette lover Member since May 2013 331 Points Moderator | Received my copy of Len's 'Steal My Sunshine' on cassette, always loved the song and thought that it was amazing to be celebrating the 15th anniversary by remastering and releasing on cassette......it's sat next to my old 1999 copy......I should put both on here!! |

Amy Or when you get something home and find it's already been broken, and you just didn't notice in the shop! Not going back to return a single I may have bought for 20p (or free if they've done you a deal on a bulk buy) like my copy of Commodores: Nightshift in pic sleeve, that is split The tendency is to become more Golum-like with yer swag once purchased... hissing at the world with your arms wrapped around a newly beloved record. Intrigued to know what difference in sound a remastered cassette has Iggypig... worth while? |

| Iggypig Pop cassette lover Member since May 2013 331 Points Moderator | I'm not sure there is really, I mean it sounds fantastic.....but then it is a newly made cassette. In fact, I'm always a bit dubious when it comes to remastered items. But the nicest/oddest thing was remembering buying the original cassette in 1999 and now, just over 15 years later, they've released it again, on cassette.....not even a CD/vinyl release. Definitely tapping into the nostalgia vein, but I don't mind. |

 | sladesounds Turning rebellion into money since 1962 Member since Nov 2009 6556 Points Moderator | This little beauty from Hawkwind which is less than £20 ordered from Amazon Italy!! Hawkwind - This Is your Captain Speaking Your Captain Is Dead For none Italian speaking members (like me) here is the UK link. UK Amazon If you fancy it I can confirm from experience that ordering from other countries Amazon sites is no problem at all and on some occasions it seems items ordered from "overseas" comes to me from a UK address! |
