If I do come to Lisbon again, I'm going to track you down, and if I find your records filed from right to left, I'm going to burn your house down. *wink*

They're great records, especially as you own original copies. Not small fry at all, Steve. Your Parlophone 'Spirit Of Eden' is a first pressing...I'm pretty sure. 'Laughing Stock' goes for very big money...check latest popsike prices.
Regards.
I blame this thread. *crazy*
Last night I filed my vinyl alphabetically. It took 2.5 hours.
I ran out of shelf space at W. I normally keep a float of records in the listening room, so now it contains all the Ys, Zs and compilations until I can "negotiate" some extra shelf space.
Stupid alphabet.

Refiled my records this morning, now back to several different genres, and A-Z within genre. Happier.
We seem to have lost Hi-Fi Outlaw and Steve Brock from the forum, which is a shame. Steve seems to have gone since he was banned for a week for upsetting The Penguin, HFO just seems to have disappeared. I'm not sure exactly what words Steve used to upset The Penguin, but I'm pretty sure he didn't call him a c**t (which I did), and I only got banned for a week, maybe less.
I know the forum has become a far less interesting place of late, but it's even less interesting without people like this. I hope they return soon.

More importantly, BBB, they both seemed like decent blokes; a love of lps or vinyl is great but I do appreciate it when people type with an enthusiasm and a sense of humility ie not trying to put people down and an understanding that others may have different opinions. This is not always the case in the other place and I've often muttered, 'c**t' when reading some smartarse reply to some poor bloke asking about how to plug a record player into a wall socket! I may think a lot of things but like to keep things civil in print.
I'm worried that Charlie may also be gone; I haven't seen anything from him for a while; now he was always good-natured and polite too.
The whole focus of WHF seems to have changed very radically; it's not really that concerned about two-channel hifibut all that other stuff that I have very little interest in. Maybe we should all take our custom elsewhere!
Regards.

"other place" Jim? Folks will always come and go, it's the way of things. They get offended, they get bored etc. I like to think I'm here to stay
I forgot all about Charlie, Jim, he'll be back I'm sure. I've contacted Steve through another forum, and I can contact Charlie through the same forum, or I can email him directly if needed.

Ahh, I thought you might have meant the 'wigwam', not a nice place. I like to think that the vinyl section is made up of more tolerant folks, in fact, I know it is. Just don't knock Genesis, ok? *biggrin*

Lolololol. I liked them when I was 16 or so and I'd love a mono original of their first album, 'From Genesis to Revelation' but it's £1,000+ these days. 'Nursery Cryme' was a favourite back in the day and 'Selling England By The Pound' and I have a copy of 'Trespass' somewhere. Haven't listened to them for about 40 years though! Can't stand Peter Gabriel's solo stuff. Sorry, I'm really not that tolerant!

I did hear "From Genesis...." once, and I quite liked the sound of it, as for the rest, I only know the Phil Collins stuff, and I'm not keen apart from the odd track.
'Solsbury Hill' is one of my all time fave songs, I absolutely love it. I have owned some of his early solo albums, and still own one, but I've not really listened to them properly. I do love the soundtrack from 'Last Temptation Of Christ', a wonderful sounding album, and definitely Gabriel's finest work.

Strange, how folks refer in this way, when one considers who did the writing...
