If you like what you've heard so far and want more, go for the original pressings. I got them all a while back and I didn't pay more than £10 for any of them. They sound fantastic, especially Jim's vocals. I've heard that the 180g re-issues are terrible.
The last 2 albums I bought from the record fair at chrristmas. The Tull only has 7 tracks whereas the CD has 9 and one that's missing is Dogs in the Midwinter which I quite like.
Like some weird unearthly vision wearing only T-shirt,pants and skin.
Well not quite listening to them yet, but in anticipation of my new Rega Planar 3 Turntable I have obtained the following :-
8 Steely Dan Albums (Aja, Gaucho, Cant Buy a Thrill, Everything Must Go, Countdown to Ecstacy, The Royal Scam, Pretzel Logic and Greatest Hits) - £3.40 Total
The Doors "Best Of" - 1985 LP - £5.00
Pink Floyd "The Wall" - this is a 1979 Early Pressing
Isobel Capmbell "Milkwhite Sheets" - £5.71
The trouble is I could have spent hundreds and really need to reign myself in. I have seen Jimi Hendrix BBC Sessions 3 x 180g Brand New Sealed.......and I am really tempted
If they release this on Backtoblack 180g vinyl I'd be tempted to buy it.
I was probably 18 years old when I bought my Argus album. A lesson for all the youngsters out there, look after what you buy cos you might still be playing it nearly 40 years later.
On the back of listening to a Roxy Music documentary on Radio 2 last night, I thought I'd give this classic another airing...
39 years on, it still has the ability to astonish. Utterly unique, utterly unclassifiable.
Brilliant.
I never bought the first album for some reason but bought the next 3. I remember seeing Roxy in the late 70s with The Eurythmics as a support band, I have a feeling there was another band on first but I have no idea who, must be memory fade. The only other thing I remember is it was full of Bryan Ferry lookalikes, no memories of the show at all.
DIB I have a post for you I'll put in the what are you listening/watching section sometime. It'll get your memory working.
