What was the last vinyl you bought?
Posted by: apye! on 18 January 2011
Arrived today in the post:
From Pete at the market this afternoon. Minty 1st press Vertigo Swirl for half book price. This LP is not to everybody's taste but I like it. Have you played your copy yet Steve C?
Not yet on my to listen list along with the Dr Strangely Strange.
Give it a few listens Steve. The first few tracks are a bit left field but the later tracks are more typically Graham Bond. There is a connection with the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation LPs I recommended some time ago.

Thats OK I don't mind a bit of weirdness
I remember the haunting melody of Mancini's Sunflower as well as Mahler's Adagio from the Symphony 5th in the slow moving Visconti's Death in Venice.
And Aria from Diva, an art house cinema from the 80s. I recall I was more fascinated by the Nagra recorder. But this little known song from the opera "La Wally" is beautiful.
This will arrive on Wednesday, anyone got a copy if so what's the SQ like?
Fleetwood Mac Boston Volume 1 (Double Vinyl)

Only popped in to the record shop to drop a record into for the owner to sell for me.
Ooops. Sorry Steve C, thought this may be a thread about mains power blocks (Merlin/Black Widow), but accidentally stumbled into something not my cup of tea at all........ ;-)
A birthday present
i got this when it came out as the box set, its damn good.
Music Matters 33rpm analogue remaster vinyl. This was waiting on my return from Italy yesterday and a very nice treat it is too. Superb SQ and a great album.
I went on a bing around RSD with MoFi.com, wow the 180g is really amazing. Had a friend over Sunday to listen to Ellington at Newport, the crowd goes wild on the second side, amazing performance. Then 2 early Billie Holiday recordings from a different company, she was in the room, so intimate with every breath, smile or sorrow, amazing. Henry loves my system but this took it to new heights with my new Palmer TT.
Music Matters 33rpm 180g analogue remaster arriving from Amazon tomorrow.
Killer album Steve, and this MM reissue is getting particularly good reviews. Hope it lives up to expectations!

1st press 1970 UK blue Pye 25-track MONO double LP set. Contains their singles and some album tracks up to 1969. This seems quite rare and I've never seen a copy before. Bought for £10 at the market today. LPs in excellent condition.

That's the last of my credit gone from the last lot of vinyl I exchanged.

Brilliantly produced box set. Great sound, perfect pressings and, of course, some of the most beautiful, heartfelt live jazz ever recorded. Real desert island stuff this!
