Are record clubs the new book clubs?

Hey ! Happy New forum ! I'm now a senior member and have 447 points (and points mean prizes, as Humph used to say)

Just seen this on the BBC website - will it catch on ?

Classic Album Sundays treat our best-loved records like great symphonies and are being set up in London, Scotland and Wales.

I'd give it a try if it spreads up here. Wonder what kit they use ?

This has also featured in The Word magazine.

Interesting development in the vein of the slow movement thing.

We are doing this at Loud & Clear in Glasgow this Thursday. We'll be using a 552, 500, with a fully loaded LP12.

I'm a friend of the guys in London that are doing it. Their system is one they use at The Loft party. Klipschorn Speakers, Levinson ML1 Pre, MF Power, Koetsu arm and cart, on a vintage Technics 1100.

The person behind this is Greg Wilson - The first DJ to mix records together on British TV on The Tube.

His blog is called Living To Music, and explains the concept:
