Ok, my First Foray into Classical Vinyl LPs!!! & I must say I enjoy the drama of this LP! I would be interested in others that have a lot of dramatic feel. Although, I don’t like the loud & brash drama but rather, the lower/slower paced dramatic music. Any ideas?

Rather annoyingly the URL on the card with the album to redeem the downloads gives a 404 page not found error

Very good, though I was surprised that the Neptune (in Seattle) wasn’t sold out: it’s not a big venue, and I would have thought that any one of those three artists would have easily sold it out, and at much higher ticket prices.
I bought Marissa Nadler’s LP July a while back, based on recommendations, and it’s still in my to-be-played pile. I’ll definitely be unwrapping it soon.
Thanks, if they aren’t selling out in the USA, I guess there will be no UK tour 
RE the Dire Straits - Communique I posted about a few posts up, the re-mastering job they have done on it and the pressing are both superb, the record sounds terrific

An Abbey Road half speed master and £12.99 in store at HMV. Comes with a poly liner as well as a card inner with the artwork and a download card. The version of Kraftwerk’s Hall of Mirrors is very good indeed.

I wonder how that Dusty In Memphis half speed compares ?
How does it sound to you ?
I’m also curious about the DiM Half-speed. I felt that the reissue from a couple of years back sounded very good. It was also very inexpensive - £8 IIRC.
The latest Dusty in Memphis release sounds generally very good indeed. It’s a nice flat pressing, perfectly centred, but frustratingly, a little more surface noise between tracks than expected. Surprising for an Abbey Road remaster. Played after a single cleaning pass on my Okki Nokki with L’Art du Son. Will give it another clean to try and remove those last few clicks & pops, even though they were only minor and didn’t detract from the listening experience.
Unfortunately I don’t have any other vinyl copies to compare it to, just an old CD rip.
