OK Don't laugh but I was a massive Frankie Goes To Hollywood fan back in the mid 80's collecting all their vinyl from around the world, ended up with a great collection which I still have, anyway I was reading a hifi mag last night and noticed that they have released a new CD box set which I ordered instantly but also noticed that a 12" version of Relax was released last month to commemorate its 30 year anniversary so ordered that also, apparently it has got a rare mix of Relax on it that was only re-discovered a couple of years ago in the ZTT vaults after it was labelled wrong.

This is the 2nd 12" I've bought in the last months, got Embraces new single on 12", lets hope we get a resurgence in 12's like we had in the 80's, loved some of the extended mixes 

Hi, those of you who have the vinyl version of Max Richter - Memoryhouse can you tell me what the quality of the vinyl is like.  I have read a number of reviews that claim their copies were more "crackle and pop" than music.  I would much rather get this on vinyl than CD but not of the pressing is too poor.

thanks

Paul

SQ isn't briliant. The instrumental sections are reasonably good but Plant's vocals sound very distant. Never mind it didn't cost much.

Or even Steven Wilson Debs.  I got the heads up from Stu and ordered it as well. It gets good reviews and could well be the bargain of the year as you say.

Steve

Gone now... Only just opened Stu's e-mail.

...i was born with typo blood  

Debs

I missed it too.

My all time favourite musical. Mint - for the equivalent of £ 0,70  

Suede sci fi lullabies

Beck Morning Phase

Got this album after a heads up from Richard on this forum and I am really happy I did. It is great reggae, well recorded, and a bargain to boot. I love it thank's Richard. 

Graham

Glad you like it Graham...I am still playing it and a real bargain!

Richard

Arrived this morning. All this for £3.73 plus £1.26 P&P from Amazon other sellers. Heading for the title of bargain of the year. The music is good too. Thanks for the heads up goes to the one man this forum needs back. 

+1 to this Steve:

'Thanks for the heads up goes to the one man this forum needs back' 

Graham.

Jethro Tull Aqualung UK first press with the island logo.

Neil Young - American Stars 'N Bars UK First press.

David Coverdale - Northwinds first press, probably one of his best post Purple albums.

I drew a blank at the market today Steve.  At least I have a number of 'new' LPs coming in the post including the MOFI 45rpm Highway 61 Revisited and The Times They Are A'Changin. 

Enjoy your new acquisitions, I wish I lived nearer.

Fortunately I seem to be getting the first pick of any new stuff he gets in at the moment or more to the point what i can afford.

Holst The Planets + 5 other classical albums for 49p each

All mint even the white sleeves.  They all play as new.

Going back tomorrow to buy some more
