Pearl Jam - Lightning Bolt
Megadeth - Thirte3n

Im happy with that price.

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?knaithrover said:

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.

Although there are many I would like to buy I have to wait until the oil price goes back up and I get some work again. It's a bummer. ;-)
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.

Maybe that copy has been played to death.
I bought Graceland for 4 quid from a second hand junk shop, and mine sounds fantastic. Maybe keep an eye out for a better/different copy.
