What vinyl are you listening to?

[Charlie Jefferson]

Only one LP tonight: Something Else by The Kinks. Then a stack of 7" singles. Of those I remember playing:

Hit The North - The Fall

All You Need Is Me - Morrissey

Turn On Me - The Shins

Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac

Ticket To Ride - The Beatles

Temptation - New Order

Shipbuilding - Robert Wyatt

Leaving - Pet Shop Boys

Girl's Talk - Elvis Costello

 

[jamesrfisher]

Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain

". - Echo & the Bunnymen

Luke Haines - Rock and Roll Animals

OMD - The Best of OMD

Daughter - If You Leave

John Coltrane - Giant Steps

Intrigued by the Luke Haines LP, what's it like? I've got bought a fair bit of his stuff down the years, not this, as yet.

Lisitening to:

Experiment Below - Hovercraft (as suspected, BBB, my wife wasn't asking for a repeat play)

Planet Waves - Dylan

Bootleg Series 1-3 - Dylan

Transformer - Lou Reed

At War With The Mystics - The Flaming Lips

The Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles

i like it, it, slightly pastoral folk. If that makes sense certainly different style to Auteurs and Black Box Recorder but still with the humour. Nice bit of vinyl.

 

[Charlie Jefferson]

Thanks for that, sounds interesting.

Strap her down Charlie, and force feed her Hovercraft until she apologises, admits her error, and agrees to pay for the other album as proof of her undying love.

Or just play it when she's out.

 

[DandyCobalt]

Jonathan Wilson "Fanfare" - lovely pale blue vinyl 🙂 He's just worked on Roy Harper's new album too.

Tony Joe White "Hoodoo"

Both their latest and highly recommend.

The seller hasn't got back to me yet, and I've noticed that there are far fewer sellers selling the record, and also the price has gone up.

Did the seller get back to you about Boards, as I also ordered a copy and it's been dispatching now for over a week. I've also emailed today, but no reply as yet. Wondering if they're just trying to get early orders for the reissue.

I never heard back from the seller and I'm working away, so not sure if its been delivered. Will ring my wife later and ask her.

 

[Al ears]

Just got 'Live Taste' re-issue on MOV....pure class with Rory Gallagher at his best.

An excellent recording quality (if there can every be one of a live concert) to boot.

I'll try the latter.

Although the former suggestion got a laugh from the aforementioned wonderful woman!!

Well, if she finds it that amusing Charlie, give it a go when she nods off on the sofa.

Had an email today, very badly worded and didn't address my query as to whether this was the original vinyl. Bottom line is they never had stock and have blamed the computers....

Order cancelled, I guess you're likely to be in the same boat. Price was too good to be true.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Have not received the record yet, and no reply to my original query either. Will chase it up on Friday.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

They've emailed me today, and admitted that they fuc*ed up. They sold stock from their shop that they had orders for, so couldn't fulfill the internet orders. They've given me an option of cancelling or waiting for new stock.

Poor service from sent2u, would avoid like the plague in future

BBB, re BOC - I received email a week ago saying it had been dispatched a week ago, when I check on Amazon it say I should get delivery 5th November so obviously they are waiting for the reissues - I will send it back when it arrives as I am expecting the box set from Bleep.com today or Monday.

Today I am listening to:

Morcheeba - Head Up High 2 x LP & CD - excellent package, sleeve, artwork and superb SQ all for £12.23 amazon.

If I can work out how to copy and paste the email I received on my new phone, I'll show you the email, if I can't, I'll do it when I get home later. Reason, if they have sold their stock in their shop, it must have been original copies.

This is the reply i had, translation needed

Thank you very much for contacting us. I have chased this with warehouse and

it seems that there has been a problem with the stock allocation.

Due to recent server maintenance our stock levels have not been updated and

stock was wrongly allocated.

I sincerely apologise for this mix-up and I have informed out IT department

about the problem so they make sure this does not happen again.

I am truthfully grateful that you brought this to our attention as if it was

not for you we would not have found out about this error and we would have

been unable to contact all affected parties.

At the moment we have placed a new order with our supplier and we have asked

them to expedite delivery. They have promised us that stock will be

available as soon as possible. I understand this might be a further

inconvenience for you if you require the vinyl urgently. Please let me know

if you would like to wait for the new stock to arrive or shall we cancel and

refund the order immediately?

Once again, please accept our most sincere and unreserved apologies for the

situation. I can assure you that we would never deliberately and knowingly

hold on to such information.

Arctic Monkeys- AM
Anna Calvi - One Breath
London Grammar - If You Wait

 

[DIB]

Another recent buy, only a couple of quid and in very fine nick. Some great suff (except for some rather ropey 70's style synthesised vocals- think Peter Frampton's Talk Box).
