Anton

I feel much the same way! Every now and then a cover shows up which is of a u unique character and rightly become famous - and one almost hopes the music is just as good. This album is like that. Not bad but not their best. Still one of the best covers I've so far 

I would say you've hit the nail on the head in describing this album. Funny that!

Is that 21 times, Kev?  Miss Goldfrapp has definitely cast a spell on you.

Can't remember if it's 21 or 23 Tony. Must go through my records!

 

Although that's nothing - I saw New Order 74 times! (Wouldn't go see them again though, they've been rubbish these past 16 years).

More 'Frapp, again UK first press vinyl:

All the albums look - and sound - great on vinyl Anton, particularly the four most recent, all of which have gorgeous gatefold sleeves.

 Here we go then!

Regarding the vinyl, yes I can imagine. 

I don't have a reply device but still have all my vinyl from mid 80's to late 90's. Lots of import clubbing 12" limited editions. One day maybe if I ever get the room!
