What was the last vinyl you bought?

Posted by: apye! on 18 January 2011

As the original post is no more I thought I would start a new one.

Arrived today in the post:

1969 Blue Liberty vinyl. I've been on the lookout for this very rare, excellent album. I paid more than I would have liked but less than 'book price'.

About 20 years Graham. It is available on reissue vinyl but I always wanted a 1st press.

The Blue Horizon Story Vol 1. I expect this will lead to more purchases down the line.

Steve,

 

That's a very expensive road to follow nowadays. Blue Horizon LPs go for big bucks. I collected every Blue Horizon LP in the nineties and it now represents a nice nest egg for the future. I'm currently playing this LP. Jellybread are on your album, this minty copy would cost over £150 to buy and this one is not an exception.

Think i may have to stick to reissues or CD's on some Steve.SWMBO is pretty tolerant on some vinyl purchases and she  would always  prefer me to buy originals over reissues but she draws the line at £100.

There are quite a few you can get for less than £100 like the Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack LPs. There are quite a few vinyl reissues of some of the more popular BH albums by MOV but I would recommend those by Pure Pleasure in preference. One I would strongly suggest you look to by on Pure Pleasure is the reissue of Otis Spann The Biggest Thing Since Colossus which has Fleetwood Mac, minus Mick Fleetwood who Otis Spann didn't think was good enough, as the backing band.

 

This is the Pure Pleasure link for the BH reissues, and I can recommend them all, but you can get them from other sites.

You'll have to come up sometime to browse and listen.

Steve thanks for the link.The Fleetwood Mac at Chess looks an interesting one.

 

Would really like that and thank you for the offer.

 

Next month I've got the Broadstairs Blues Bash just down the road from me,

The only trouble is I've got family down that weekend so will only get over for a couple of hours on Sat and Sunday.

Original, mint €22.

Blues Jam at Chess is an excellent album but so are the others from PP.

 

Have a good time at the Blues Bash.

Hi Steve.

 

i can recommend the PP reissue of The Fleetwood Mac At Chess album. However, it would be nice to hear the original on the good doctors system

I picked up a nice minty original copy of this for less than a fiver at the market a couple of months ago. Great SQ. I hope the reissue is good.

Arrived from Amazon uk this morning.

 

I'm a bit peeved - my copy doesn't have a DECCA logo on the front cover,

and what i didn't expect to see on the back cover is Vinyl Lovers : <

Debs,

 

You know that Vinyl Lovers cut straight from CDs? Ask Stu about them. The packaging, as you've already found out, is also suspect.

Hi Debs,

                Your post prompted me to check my copy. I bought it about 18 months ago. I think it was from Amazon. It has "REQUEST" in the top RH corner, not DECCA. What a disappointment. Never checked at the time.

I bought it because I missed the original back in the 60's. First time I saw the BluesBreakers was with Mick Taylor at Sheffield City Hall just after Pete Green left. My first J. Mayall LP was "Blues from Laurel Canyon"; mono version.  My late wife bought it for my 21st.
