Mr Brock, if you're looking in, did you get this? If not, why not?*biggrin*

If you liked 'Crime Of The Century', I'm sure you'll like this.

Nice selection there Jim, and I'm guessing they're all originals?

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

One of my super cheap purchases, playing through well after a clean.

 

[Jim-W]

Thanks, BBB. Yep, they are. The first two Floyd albums are amongst my rarer records. 'Piper' is in excellent nick but 'Saucerful' is a bit crackly in the quiet bits. Regardless of rarity, they're great records in my opinion: imaginative, experimental and a bit strange. I'm a fan of 'Atom Heart Mother' too which divides the Floyd fan base.

Speaking of rarities, just played 'Tomorrow' self-titled psychedelic 60's classic....Steve Howe on guitar...great songs.

'I wish it was the sixties' as Thom Yorke sang on 'The Bends.' Tomorrow 'Kid A' then oh and 'Hail To The Thief.' Great records.

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

My wife's a very big fan of Radiohead, but she mostly has CDs unfortunately.

I think I may have had Atom Heart Mother, I definitely had a few more Floyd albums than I have now, including a quadrophonic one, but I can't remember exactly which albums they were. Just checked a few sleeves online, and I definitely had Meddle, and I'm starting to think I had Atom Heart Mother quadrophonic vinyl.

Why did I sell them? *dash1*

 

[Jim-W]

I've done much worse than sell records; during one house move I chucked a load of late 60's stuff I didn't listen to into a skip. It was the late 70's and none of it had much value, given the punk explosion. I won't bore you with the details but there was some really rare stuff in there...not that it was regarded as rare or desirable then. When I see the values of some of these records on popske I break into a fit of self-loathing....'You stupid prat' etc. At least two of them fetch about £800 today. However, talking to other collectors it seems that I'm not alone which, I suppose, helps a bit. Needless to say, I never sell or throw anything out now which pleases my daughter who will come into a few quid although when she annoys me I tell her I've left the records to the RSPCA.

You can always leave them to me Jim. *lol*

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Have you heard of Haymarket Square-Magic Lantern? A copy sold recently on eBay for over £2,200.

 

[Jim-W]

I tell you what BBB, I'm not sure you'd want them. I genuinely don't envy the task of trying to sort them out and flog them which I think is what will happen. I always hope my daughter will keep them because she likes records and record-players etc but I know what will happen: they'll be on ebay 5 minutes afer the funeral!

 

[Jim-W]

Yes, I've heard of it but never actually heard it. It's probably a load of old bollocks like Leafhound's 'GrowersOf Mushroom' which also fetches stupid money and is not very good really- heavy dull blues-rock. The prices that really get me are the Robert Johnson 78's on Vocalion....I'd love to have these but they're about £3,000 to £8,000 a pop....even in VG condition....now that's money.

Just listening to Magic Lantern on youtube...actually I love it! Proper psychedelic like a heavier Jefferson Airplane with a madder drummer. It's fabulous! I need a copy right now!

She might surprise you, and actually sort them into alphabetical order within genre. *biggrin*

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Slightly off topic, but I was watching a film the other night, and the soundtrack was rather good. There was a track by Amon Duul II called Paramechanical World, which I really liked, but it doesn't appear to be on any LP. What do you think of Amon Duul II, and is there any album you'd recommend.?

I love her voice. Just downloading the album now. I think my wife will love it, she loves Jefferson Airplane.

 

[Jim-W]

I love Amon Duul II and I'm always looking for more of their records. You can't go wrong with 'Phallus Dei', 'Yeti' and Tanz Der Lemminge' or 'Dance Of The Lemmings.' All great records. 'Wolf City' is good too but I don't have a copy. A proper hippy communal band!

 

[Jim-W]

Yeah me too...I mean I love Jefferson Airplane and I like Magic Lantern. Yes, her voice is lovely. I need to get one...there's a few on discogs. I think I'll get one tomorrow...only reissues of course but great to have any vinyl copy. Hope your wife likes it
