I only bought the first four albums. I wish I'd bought the rest. I paid less than £20 for each of them at the time. They seem like a real bargain now.
I bought all of them, all from Diverse and most of them at around £20 too (apart from PG, TSRTS and the BBC box, which were more expensive). I think they all sound great. Classic were considering putting out HTWWW on vinyl too, but it never happened.
I also have 1, 4, ITTOD, PG and Coda on Jap vinyl - they sound great too - especially the first album, which I think edges out the Classic.
I'm interested in how Page's new vinyl editions will sound - hopefully better than Mothership. ![]()


A much longer version than the released one.

Unfortunately I think Jimmy Page is now tone deaf judging by the TSRTS and Mothership box sets. ![]()
An official Virgin Records Live album (never released to the public).

Hello kev . what is HTWWW? Just curious.
How The West Was Won - the '72 live album released in 2003. If you haven't heard heard it, it's one of the finest live albums ever made. Imperial Zep. ![]()

HTWWW = "How the West was Won"

Wishbone Ash - Just Testing
A great album full of impressive musicianship and musical textures.

Russell - If you don't already know they have a new album due out 0n March 4th

Just about to Listen to and watch Fleetwood Mac: Live in Boston on Sky Arts 1 HD starting at 22:00.
Unfortunately this is not the Live in Boston of the Peter Green days (The Boston Tea party 1970), it's from 2004.

Thanks Stevee_S, I didn't know, I've sort of lost touch with them for a while now. I'll look out for it.

On Spotify - streamed via Asset from my laptop - Sounds like another for my 'to buy list'
Sorren - agreed totally.
The original Bad Blood album is also awesome on vinyl
Cleaned on a noisy RCM - an homage to a great weekend ![]()

Hi Chris. Yes they're new to me. I kept seeing the album in the local supermarket and decided I'd have to have a listen. Glad I did ![]()

Chopin: The Piano Works [Box set]
Frederic Chopin (Composer), Vladimir Ashkenazy (Performer) | Format: Audio CD
I concur dayjay. My kids love it too.![]()
Had an Aha moment today. Does that boy sing high or what?!
Frédéric Chopin: Mikhail Pletnev (Piano)
Whenever I listen to Pletnev play, I always am left with a sense of wonder afterward. Technically unstoppable combined with a brilliant mind. If you listen to what he does it really is special. Things you would never have known otherwise and he just brings things to light in such a nonchalant, straightforward fashion like it is so natural or easy to do so yet impossible to duplicate.
Easily one of the best living pianist around.

Lol, just a bit. This was my wife's choice tonight and a fine one it was too, although, to be fair the Fish albums she choose prior to it were great too. Can't beat a big of 80's music, especially when its as atmospheric as this!
