So disappointed with this (Ethiopian And His Allstars) as it was a lovely package, bought a second copy and both LP’s on both sets horribly warped.
Looks like they’ll be going back and substituted for the beer mat edition

Vinyl, CD and DVD boxset, bargain at £30 from Discogs
Fun while it lasted, just dropped it while turning over and badly scratched first 3 tracks of first side. Grrrrrr

Last time (the only time as far as I recall) I dropped a record whilst turning it over, i thought it had just caught the glass on the top shelf of the Fraim. A while later I realised it had taken a slice out of the edge of my two month old LP12 plinth. That cost £1300 to replace!

Yes, but it’s not the same. 1st world problem…
Nightmare!
If you’re not aware, this is their follow-up to the highly successful album A/B (released 2016) – which is a very good IMV.
If you listen to A/B, a lot of the tracks have been sampled for TV and adverts.
I’m awaiting the CD of SS’s landing any day now.

Thank you, no I wasn’t aware. I just bought this on spec. It’s 3 sides at 45 rpm, the 4th side being etched.
I’ve had to clean side two, three times, the last track , My Fair Lady was very noisy on the left channel only. It’s a lot better but probably needs another clean.
Regards
There’s quite a lot of comment on Amazon about the poor quality of the vinyl offerings - I hope you’re not another victim.
A/B was so successful that it’s a classic case for many of ‘how do you follow that’ and 2nd-album syndrome.

Side 1, a touch of snap, crackle and pop between tracks, side 2 as I’ve said previously but side 3 completely silent.
I going to keep it.
Easily done, especially at parties…

Only played Mule Variations but the opening track “Big in Japan” blew me away and sounds amazing, haven’t played Alice yet but hopefully as good, both remastered copies and Alice you can pick up for under £15 on river
