What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol.VIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 29 December 2011
With 2012 almost upon us, it's time to start a fresh thread. I've gone back to an earlier thread title because often the "why" is the most interesting part of the post.
Anyway, links:

playing on the rega planar some charity shop vinyl that cost a quid each.
Used to have a far better condition copy of this album in my original vinyl collection...
how i wish i hadn't sold off that collection 
and not sure if this copy was worth paying a quid for, it needed one hell of a clean up, and still too many scuffs, teeth marks and vomit stains.
musically it sounds okay with very impressively punchy bass-lines lurking deep in the pressing but there is far too much dreaded snap crackle n pop in all the quieter parts.
Whoever let this lp get into this sad state needs a good kicking for vinyl abuse

still too many scuffs, teeth marks and vomit stains.
LOL! How many is too few "vomit stains"...
At least who ever owned it, enjoyed it !

Stu,
Sorry to hear you are not 100% at the moment, hope you get well soon.
Thanks for the heads up on the next PT vinyl release, I have taken your advice and the CD is on order.

The Strange Case of the Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde long weekend. After a good two days of listening to or rather needing some rather violent and aggressive piano music, capable of smashing a piano to bits, I feel rather refreshed and even rejuvenated. Time though to bring it back down with some Lyric Pieces of Grieg. I think I will then spend the remainder of the evening reading through some of the decidedly more mellow music such as Grieg's "At Your Feet" or "Solitary Traveller," then possibly on to a bit of Satie or Mompou and then hopefully finish with something like Chopin's Berceuse or the Nocturnes.
