What was the last vinyl you bought?

Four tet - Pause 

Chris

The local radio station gave all their vinyl to the local oxfam shop and it's slowly making it's way on to the shelves and I managed to grab some today for a couple of quids... Interestingly some of them have something like "Not for Sale/Resale Property of {insert label name}" Presumable at one time radio stations got these recordings for free and weren't supposed to sell them on, I guess.

Andy,

The not for sale/ resale albums are Pro-mo copies.

Some will also have the release date and other record company info on that you wont find on the shop bought copies.

Some will even have extra or less tracks on.

They can be very collectable and some times worth a lot more.

Record companies still give them away now days but in CD form.

One thing though,Radio stations used to track their cartridges at heavy weights than you would at home.

From Burning Shed £ 18.99 180g heavy vinyl

Blue,

I got the mail from them,

As they are not a limited edition and will be on sale all over the world from April i thought it silly to tie up over £40 on a pre-order now.

Burningshed take the money when you Pre- order.

Amazon and other sites only take it when they ship.

My originals sound great, so i am in no rush  to get thicker vinyl. 

Will hang on and see what they sound like.

Arrived today from eBay... £9 to include delivery.

CBS 2xLP © 1979 A/1 B/1 C/2 D/2

Haven't played them yet [later] but have given them the okki nokki clean and poly-paper resleeve.

Under all that dust and static... the vinyl looks lovely and mint

Ps,

How is the new puppy doing?

That's interesting Stu thanks. Apparently there are boxes of these waiting to come out on to the shelves which could take a few years because there's not a huge space of vinyl in the shop....

Thanks for the tip about Burningshed taking the cash before shipment ,think I will hold back on ordering.

Pup is doing fine now! after swallowing a sock when he was 12 weeks old ,vet had to open him up!

Had to drop my daughter off today for a 'shopping birthday party' in Guildford so I decided to seek out People Independent Music as never been before. Ended up buying these two, but could of bought lots more!!

Really enjoyable shop with friendly and knowledgable staff, will certainly be back there and they have different stock to The Rockbox, recommended.

I thought you would be impressed with this little shop. Howard is a great guy and he has a good selection of stock at good prices. I do most of my "bricks and mortar" music shopping there.

Very enjoyable piece of music.

Heard this on vinyl (1964 - MCA). Simply stunning. One of the best live recording I've heard till date so the next purchase.

Carole King: Music

I've waited over a year for this vinyl and finally shipped!


Ella Fitzgerald: Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie!

Muti/Philly: Pictures from an Exhibition/The Firebird

I couldn't resist  

180gr vinyl

Another London Ansermet. Bunch of Rimsky-Korsakov tunes.

Horowitz: Chopin Piano Sonata in B flat Minor Op.35 and other familiar Chopin and Liszt pieces.

Postman has just handed me this:

From Burning Shed on the day of release, usual excellent service!

All from a trip to The Rockbox yesterday, including the post above!!

Ella Fitzgerald: Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie!

Kuma,

I've been thinking of buying this one. Can you let us know how it sounds. This CR issue is still a reasonable price in the UK.

Thanks

Steve

Amazon just reminded me of my buying from last year:

I have the Japanese 1st pressing and the UK 1st pressing...so lets see/hear...

T,

When you say you have the 1st pressings ?

Do you mean you have the very first pressings or original pressings?
