Arrived today in the post:
Steven Wilson 4 1/2 loving it.
I was at a housewarming party in Brighton weekend before last and I heard this album (Sysyphus by Cold Blood) and was blown away by it. Not just Lydia Pense's amazing voice, but by the super-tight, super-soulful, hyper-funky band behind her (some of them moonlighting from Tower of Power).
I managed to get a near-mint (although the sleeve's a bit battered) US first pressing (1970) on Bill Graham's San Francisco label for just £15. Delighted.
Selling England by the Pound - Genesis
Original "Large Mad Hatter" Charisma label
Thick card liner
Car boot sale - Gainsborough
Very Good + condition
£1

Thanks for remixing me to order this one. Releases February 5th here.
Two rather different genre's!
Both near-mint used bargains. The Dude was an original release still with cellophane wrapper.
Eva Cassidy, Songbird. Last vinyl delivery from Amazon yesterday. Reminds me why I listen to music.

Kevin-W posted:The "Five Years" 13-LP box set, a bargain at just £127 from The River's Italian site. A lovely thing, produced to a very high standard, with a gorgeous book. Cannot wait to start listening to it.
Kevin, I just had a look at the Italian site but sadly it looks like this pricing loophole has been closed -- it's now on sale for EUR 228.65 which is pretty much what the current UK price is in GBP using a 0.76 conversion rate. Did you have to pay for delivery?
It's a few weeks already and traded from a friend but:
-Necrophagia: Goblins Be Thine -MLP
-Noisehunter: Spell of Noise -LP

Hi Adrian - no, but I think that might be because I use Amazon Prime (I think you can order from any Amazon EU site with free postage). The Italian site is worth keeping tags on, they have some real bargains, although the offers are usually short-lived.
The Super Deluxe Edition website's email alerts are worth subscribing to, they give you the heads up - that's how I found out about the Bowie set.
Broadcast, The Sound Made by People. Bought this from Lost in Vinyl - already had it on CD, but I didn't know Warp repressed it last year. Great album.

Thanks for the tips, Kevin, I'll keep an eye on the Italian site and will take a look at Super Deluxe Edition's site. Would love to find a Five Years set at a more affordable price.

Mono on 2 LPS-45 RPM. I have an original mono pressing in less than pristine but still decent shape. Looking forward to seeing how the Mofi compares.

Please share your findings!

I somehow botched my pre-order of this a year ago. I've heard my wife's CD on occasion, but she keeps it in her car. Problem solved as this 2LP arrived today.
perhaps the last copy in Nottingham of... and Rough Trade reissue of
Since my parents no longer have a turntable, I've taken custody of their vinyl. So it's not quite bought, but despite being mostly 60s/70s it's new to me.
And I just found, tucked into the wrong sleeve and assumed lost, an original disc of Rubber Soul. A few pops and crackles, but sounds really quite nice. Bonus!
Recent UME reissue.
Leonard Cohen - Death of a Ladies Man - played it last night and did not enjoy at all. From memory I could remember there was one of his albums I did not like, guess this one must have been it! Struggle to understand what he was thinking trying to make some reasonable songs sound like a bad 70s pop band
