Toto IV one of the albums I bought on my recent trip to Those Old Records at Rugeley and a very enjoyable hour and a bit it was. I will return in a few weeks.
My wife went for a walk around town whilst I browsed, she reckons things must be improving as they only had one charity shop.
In the past few years she has walked around Aldridge and Bloxwich whilst I demo’ed gear there.
Aldridge, Bloxwich and Rugeley. She reckons I take her to all the finest places. 8)
Now where should we go next. :doh:

I was surprised by just how great this sounds! A must for the TH fan.
Ditto, excellent album - excellent sound - strangely mine has a different cover :?
I just got this LP reissue this week -- it has large red writing over half the cover - this cover above I think must be an earlier issue on a different label couldn't find my one on the web and my scanner isn't plugedin. I don't think it matters too much as it is fundamentally a great recording.
Half these 1975 tracks are on the 2005 extended CD reissue '77 and the CD comp "Sand in the Vaseline" - but the other 7 or 8 (of 15) are not elsewhere to my knowledge - let alone on Vinyl, which is crisp/lively sounding and has great bass.

A nice day out to North Wales, to http://www.cobrecords.com/
A veritable treasure trove.
Once you're finished in the shop, *** across the road to Porthmadog railway station and go in the bar. Fantastic array of real ale's if you're into that sort of thing.
Cheers :cheers:

I went there last August , but I was very disappointed . Maybe my expectations were to high but they had nothing there that interested me at all . However , I do have some rather unusual tastes when it comes to music.
I should have just gone and sampled a few ales instead ,

A couple of hours worth of:
1) Obscurity Knocks EP - Trash Can Sinatras
2) How Could I Know - My Morning Jacket B-side
3) Studio Tan (Side 1) - Frank Zappa
4) Lick My Decals Off, Baby (Side 2) - Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Time for time-shifted Newsnight and then sleep.

Nice idea DIB but Porthmadog is a long way from my house to go and look at a few records.
Having a few beers would involve an overnight stop and I’m not sure the wife would appreciate that.
She’d think I was spoiling her.
The last time we were there we caught the train to Blaenau Ffestiniog and what a lovely train journey it was. Trouble is my wife reckoned we had arrived “in the “pits” of Britain”, it was a lovely day but it still looked awful. It made Rugeley look good.
Kicked off tonight with

You want to go there on a rainy Sunday afternoon in March with a two hour wait until the next train with a pregnant wife ,3 year old brat and nothing open ! I'm surprised we got out of there alive and didn't top ourselves . However , the slate mines are interesting ,

Currently listening to AC/DC 'Dirty Deeds gone Dirty Cheap' - previously was listening to a newly purchased vinyl called 'Captain Lockheed and the Starfighter'....first time I have listened to Hawkwind

There are loads of towns in the UK worse than Rugeley, at least they have a decent vinyl shop. The one you mentionesd is a 100 miles away and no one mentioned one nearer.
Anyway tonight I have had a sort out and dug out an album by Tea and one by Trace, must have been the wife's. Anyone remember them (No googling). Will give them a spin and see what I think.

Oh yes I know Trace. I have a CD-R sent to to me a few years ago by someone from another forum. Progtastic mate!
Dutch band if I remember rightly in a sort of ELP style. I'm going to play that tonight.

DIB. As I was playing the Trace album I thought it might be your scene, thought it was a bit like Focus. Not sure if it's for me. The Tea album was refreshing :rofl:
I moved on to
Looking at last post may have to be some Zep next

Choose a better one than TSRTS then. I'm slightly disappointed with it. Foolishly, I bought an original pressing, whereas I subsequently found out the re-issue is a better album. Hey Ho! Someone on Vinyl Engine recommended How The West Was Won as Zep at their best.
Anyway Stargazing Live has just finished, and I can't be bothered dragging the telescope outside, but still feel all astronomical, so:

1) Standing Ovation - Larry Coryell
Just squeezing in side one of this inbetween watching the brilliant Jonathan Meades On France then a time lapsed Newsnight. Then sleep.
It's a rare night when TV pre-Newsnight wins out over music. I feel bereft when I've only played half an album.

The dominance of the guitar in it's many manifestations continues in my listening habits:
1) Circuses And Bread - The Durutti Column
A vinyl re-issue of their 1985 album. Stunning quality pressing that complements the genius at work that is Vini Reilly.

Good evening LA,
I love the early Purple LPs, but haven't got any on vinyl. I bet In Rock sounds great. My CD never really, er, rocks!
