What is your latest vynil/cd purchase from a charity shop/carboot sale?

Must admit they are sounding pretty fine as I type this. The combo of Naim CDP and Berning valves is pretty awesome too. Left my 52/250.2 for dead.

Hope you like them too, don't forget to bring Alex with you. I've not committed to the new discs but I have a compilation and "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" as the original, that sounds pretty good.

Best regards,

Steve

Hi Chris re ANANTA I have the same album and have had no luck finding any info.Mine also has a promo label and the only other ones I have seen for sale are also promo copies.
It appears to be a benefit album who for/to I have no idea.
Dave Early the drummer is the only one who has any meaningful entries in AMG and then only after 1983.

So a bit of a mystery I think.
I can't even remember playing it.

Hi Howard,
Thankyou for your reply.
I have also noticed that two of the backing vocals/musicians have the surname of Spitery, i wonder if they are related to Charlene of Texas fame?

I thought that but she spells it Spiteri.

This is ANANTA's second album a "spititual progressive" group apparently.
