The local used record store is now charging premium prices for stuff, disappointing really. So, I'm buying online more and more.

Todays purchaces, from EMP-online.

Pearl Jam - Lightning Bolt

Megadeth - Thirte3n

Faith no More - Album of the Year

got free shipping, and used a fiver off voucher code. All three for £52.00

Im happy with that price.

Love : Forever Changes

Leonard Cohen : The Songs of...

The Zombies : Odessey and Oracle

Captain Beefheart : Clear Spot

I already have Clear Spot from waaaay back but couldn't resist the remaster. All the above brand new from HMV eye watering expensive but worth every single shekel

Do you listen to every single track on Tidal? What's the point in paying for a service that has more tracks than you could ever listen to? :)

I wasn't being critical at all, far from it just making a comparison. I love records and I love Tidal but don't have a particular allegiance to either.. Tidal is brilliant for casual listening and trying before you buy. Records are for serious listening.

One of my favourite albums ordered. My current copy has seen better days so a mint repress will have to do instead *good*

Picked up a couple of LPs yesterday.

Beth Orton – Kidsticks. A real departure for her, co-written with Andrew Hung from, err, 'Love Buttons'. I like it a lot more than her previous stuff.
Moulettes – Preternatural.

Sorry to hear that, Al, and hope you find work soon. Although the irony is that when the oil price goes up the price of vinyl will increase too!

Well, after reading about Paul Simon's Graceland as being one of the best examples of a vinyl pressing I can say I am hugely dissapointed. I just bagged a mint 1986 copy for £4. Gave it a clean with the machine and it sounds very mid range with no bottom and even less top end. It sounds like a dull cd. The mastering on viny is awful.
