Anybody been Record Shopping today?

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Lord help me! I have an addiction.

31 records bought for £20 (including some good ones)

Would it help if I took your wallet and gave you 20p pocket money each Saturday? Mind you, you'd probably find half a dozen records for 20p...

Maybe.

I make that around 80 records bought this month. I must stop.

£20 for an ep!!!

Hmm, and their last album weren't much cop either. Not sure I'll bother. But thanks for letting us know, I'll give it a listen!

I'm not a vinylista anymore these days, but this strikes me as a bargain if you like Roxy Music

John Coltrane - Blue Train. Bought out of curiosity, not heard it previously, may not listen to it much, but it's there, now.

A few more charity shop purchases today.

Doors - L.A Woman (50p)

OST - Tommy (50p)

Best Of The Goon Shows (mono) (50p)

Steve Hackett - Defector (£1)

And pilfered from my Dad's collection:

Tammi Terrell - Irresistible Tammi Terrell

And arrived today, having been on order for a while:

David Bowie - Blackstar (normal version to play, as there's no way I'm even opening my clear vinyl version, let alone playing it).

While I was round my Mum and Dad's earlier, I spotted a John Coltrane album 'Sun Ship'. 'I'll have that' I said to my Dad. 'No! I haven't played that one, and I like John Coltrane' he replied. Anyway, within an hour or so, and soon after I'd got home, I received a phone call. 'You can have it' he said, 'it's insane' *lol*

I've since discovered it on You Tube, and he might well be right, but I can't wait until I go round to pick it up. *yahoo*

 

[steve_1979]

Bob Marley - Legend

The Who - Quadrophenia

'Sun Ship' is one of the final 'Trane quartet recordings and is. in my opnion, wildly beautiful perhaps a little 'out there' for your dad. Hope you enjoy it, BBB.

...another one I brought down recently:

Eric Andersen: 'Ghosts Upon The Road'. One of the most evocative songwriters; more emotional pain and romantic disappointments. Absolutely beautiful.

I don't think my dad got past the first track, which from what I heard, was probably the most 'out there' track, and the one I liked most on first listen.

My dad has several hundred records, with most being Jazz, but not my kind of Jazz. He's a big fan of Ella Fitzgerald and Dinah Washington, as well as a lot of Big Band stuff.

In other words, 'proper' Jazz *biggrin*

Sunship sounds interesting – I don't know that one but will investigate. I only have Blue Train and A love Supreme (my favourite of what I know) on LP, and the two Village Vanguard gigs on CD.

Yesterday, picked up:
Savages – Silence Yourself
Lucy Ward – I Dreamt I Was A Bird... – a replacement for a faulty copy, and also massively hissy. Pah.
and a 12-CD set of John Dowland's complete works performed by Consort of Musicke, but obviously we don't talk about CDs here...

Nothing today, saving my money for the newly issued 'The Commitments' soundtrack by MOV.

 

[macdiddy]

picked up yesterday from my local record shop, individually numbered, black & white coloured 180g vinyl, 4 page booklet and very nicely presented inside a plastic outer cover, well worth the £24 I paid for it, I may get another as it's too nice to open.

*music2*

ps. picked up the newly issued "Top Gun" soundtrack on vinyl at the same time.

Nice one. Always rated the movie and have it on blu-ray. Just got to get the vinyl. Classic soul. Think the first 1000 are numbered.

 

[Freddy58]

But was sorely tempted to buy a few in HMV yesterday. Re-issues of some of my clapped-out vinyls. Problem is, they were re-mastered, which usually means they don't sound so good...

They are going to sound better than your clapped-out ones though. ;-)

FWIW quite a few reissues are actually better than the originals.
