What was the last vinyl you bought?

I am indeed!!! 

Stunning album from the writer of the Bafta-winning Wallander theme tune Almanac is the third studio album by the all girl Anglo-Australian quartet. Gill Sandell, Jo Silverston and Anna Jenkins, provide vocal harmonies and play a wide range of instruments. There are eleven songs in the collection. The roots of the music dig deep into both folk and country traditions weaving a compelling musical tapestry. The songs deal with themes of love, renewal, the importance of community and our relationship to the earth, atrocities committed by settlers on indigenous Australians during colonisation (Bones), the mass hysteria regarding a Scottish witch-hunt (Witch of Pittenweem) and good old-fashioned heartbreak. Emily is a compelling songwriter with a gift for melody and words. Her talent is perfectly complimented by the magnificent arrangements of The Red Clay Halo. Throughout the album, the interplay between the band's rootsy ensemble playing, and Emily's agile vocal blend of strength and fragility, is effortlessly engaging. In moments when the four female voices combine to deliver arresting harmonies, it is simply blissful and utterly magical.The album's cover art by Daniela Terrazzini is also an absolute joy to behold.

Art Pepper Live at Ronnie Scott's.  7 LP box.  

Another s/h buy.  Warner Bros/Bearsville Records BR 6959.  The vinyl is in good condition and quiet after cleaning, but the SQ and DR is just not there.  Maybe due to the production, mastering or the pressing?  There is a MoFi issue of this LP.  Has anyone heard it or a decent pressing?  Recommendations?  

best sounding dylan i've ever heard.

Great must have LPs.

Great aren't they? I can't wait for the 45RPM 'Blonde On Blonde' and 'Highway 61 Revisited'. 

Had a good spend up in my favourite record shop yesterday. Pick of the bunch is this beauty from the Rune Gramofon label. 

Arve Henriksen - Solidification. 7 slabs of vinyl and two DVD's of various hires downloads of Arve's complete Rune catalogue. A lovely package and wonderful atmospheric Scandinavian music. 

New Back To Black Universal Reissue. Good quality. Recommended.

I bought that one too on my weekend vinyl spend up. Only 2.000 pressed so now we know 1,998 to go......

Well at lest we know where 3 copy's are. Mine came in the post this morning . Not had chance to listen yet. Interested what you guys think.
