My only two disappointments were not getting Songs:Ohia and A Minor Forest both vinyl boxes.
Oh well. Another time, perhaps.
I see that you managed to get the John Grant release. I tried and failed this morning. Either my local shop didn't stock it or one of the 30 or so people in front of me in the queue beat me to it. Hope you like it.

I'm playing this again, because not only is it a great pressing, it's a great sounding record, and the songs are all awesome. I do love this album.

love that album too, which cover and inner sleeve do you have. I have a yellow outer cover and orange inner, makes all the difference of course.
BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW said:Outer as picture, inner is orange.
The Sugarcubes seem to like their varied sleeves. I have the second album album with the group name and title in Icelandic.
jimbofisher said:Never had the second album, was out of the country at the time. Any good?

Hi Jim,
That's an interesting haul you've got listed there. Did you really make your way through the entirety of Golden Lights?
Jim-W said:'Golden Lights' is shocking of course but, yep, I did make it through to the end. The 12" reveals the full horror of the endeavour.

I know you're a Van fan and I guess you'll have a copy of, 'It's Too Late To Stop Now' ; 'I Believe To My Soul' is one of the great Van performances, for me, on the record and yesterday, oddly for the first time, I heard the Ray Charles original. I don't know if you've heard it but give it a listen on Spotify or youtube: it's remakable. Van's version stays remarkably close to the original but Ray's voice is just so powerful and cutting without the strings. In fact the 'What'd I Say' album is a real find even though it's somewhat crackly! I'll look for a better copy but give it a listen, Charlie, I think you'd like it.

Hi Marvin,
Thanks, I am enjoying it. I hope that doesn't sound like I'm rubbing it in. I was early in the queue for The Flaming Lips & J Spaceman, so was pleased John Grant's EP was there too.
Excellent stuff.

Blimey, that's a great way to start a Sunday/any day. I love Van's version but yes Ray Charles' is something else. What a song, what a performance.
Was it originally on the What'd I Say LP, then?

I have a feeling that the Twinkle album "Golden Lights" was actually issued on vinyl on the RPM label, but I'm struggling to find it anywhere.
Have you ever seen a vinyl copy JIm?
