If anyone is interested then you can buy Beth Gibbons “Out of Season” for £15:17 on the River. Looks like a 2019 repress and remastered at Abbey Road.

Very good it is too, even if it’s not completely devoid of that weird phase issue with the central image that seems to afflict all the more recent AR releases I’ve heard. I can’t help but think that something’s not quite right with the setup there. But then I seem to be very sensitive to such phase anomalies, whereas others don’t seem to notice or at least not bothered by it.

Yes, heard you mention this before, will listen out for it on this release. Been a few years since I last played this so looking forward to it.
This was £13:99 so bought this as well. Folky/Pop music, believe she’s from California with Ty Segall on guitar
I agree that the new remixes on the ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ albums are generally better, but I cannot get over what they’ve done to the end of I am the Walrus. I have even written to Giles asking if, when they release a complete remixed version of the MMT album, it can be restored to the ending I grew up with. Funnily enough he hasn’t replied!

I can’t be the only one who thinks that they don’t sound as good as the originals. Different yes, but more ‘Hi-Fi’ and in your face to me 
Thank goodness we all hear differently and each have our own opinions that aren’t wrong though

I tend to value the types of remastered releases where there is a discernible reduction in distortion. To many however its likely that this is what gave the original music its tonal quality and I get that.
Have you heard the Oasis cover of I am the Walrus? I really like it!
Latest haul from last night from my favorite record shop.

Led Zeppelin - In Through The Out Door, just delivered.
I have never heard this, Indeed, the first four Led Zeppelin albums are the only ones that I know at all well.

Hi Graham
I suggest you get your hands on Physical Graffiti ASAP
I think it’s the best outside of the first four.

Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstasy.
After the disappointment of the first of this new series of Dan resissues (Can’t Buy A Thrill) I held back from buying this one until it was cheap enough that if it too disappointed then I wouldn’t feel too bad about it. And thank heavens I did! It’s another curiously lifeless reissue that leaves me hankering for any of my other earlier issues - even the slightly brittle sounding Japanese one! At least the sleeve is done reasonably well, and a nice printed inner too. The vinyl though…? I guess if it’s all you have then it’s likely fine, but really, oh dear…

I guess that’s why it is on sale at HMV at half price !

I guess so. It’s not quite as bad as Can’t Buy a Thrill and some tracks fare much better than others, but overall it’s another disappointment. I bought Pretzel Logic at the same time (even cheaper!) and I can’t say I’m feeling particularly optimistic about it…
