None of this new fangled vinyl tonight, it's strictly old school LP's (when all albums were thick!)

I keep waiting for them to issue the Beatles 2009 remasters on vinyl. After two years I guess it's not going to happen 🙁
 
5 new purchases for me today:

I've wanted this for a while...and as I was flicking through the LP's in Oxfam, there it was....£1.99 and pefect condition, in fact I would say near Mint for both LP and sleave.



10CC - Deceptive Bends



Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Mainstream

This one was more expensive but again in Near Mint Condition for both Album and Sleeve

Brilliant Album!!

A nice thoughtful, some would say gloomy, selection this evening.

1) Songs Of Leonard Cohen.

Fantastic 1968 original acquired from my older brother. Stunning.

2) Pink Moon - Nick Drake

Not an original pressing but a recent-ish reissue. Sounds great though.

3) A Countdown To Ecstacy - Steely Dan

Less introspective but no less riveting. The track, My Old School would have been the sig tune if the TV programme Minder had ever had a cool New York makeover. Perhaps.

4) Circuital - My Morning Jacket

The best new thing I've heard this year.
 


The Twilight Singers - Dynamite Steps

Listening to this through my Grado SR80i's and its sounds amazing and very detailed.

I must say that these new Grado's have actually highlighted how poor my Castle speakers are with my electronics :-(
 
Been listening to the first Les Dudek LP. Its a bit Allman Bros ish, Bit Santana ish, Bit FUnky!

Listened to the RTI release of Van Morrison's "Moondance" today. Stunning album - only just really discovered Van Morrison's music. Sounds mighty impressive on our SME Model 10!
 


A purchase from Oxfam on Saturday...£1.99 near mint condition and perfect SQ. Also an excellent album!

I was big into Spirit at the end of the Seventies and saw them at the Reading Festival in 1978 . I haven't really listened to much of their stuff in years , other than Future Games , which is my favourite album of theirs .I guess I need to go and dust my copy off and give it an airing ,

Future Games is plain weird! Definitely not a place to start if you want to get into Spirit. I've got it on a CD two-fer along with Spirit of '84", I must get it in the van tomorrow to give it another listen to see if my view has changed.

I saw Spirit/Randy California around about that time, and man did he look ill, painfully thin. Great player still but his best days were behind him, which at about 28 is saying something.

That's interesting , I've always thought Future Games was different but not weird , maybe it's because I also listen to the likes of Cabaret Voltaire and their ilk . The last track on side two is my favourite .
I also saw Randy California in the early Eighties but can't remember how he looked but I guess you are right he had peeked some time previously .
What amazed me was to learn that his step father , Ed Cassidy , is still alive and in his late eighties .
