On pristine vinyl and one of the Pearlfishers very best. Influences are Burt Bacharach, Beach Boys, Prefab Sprout, the Association. But…the song is everything…

I had a copy when I lived in the US, but I’m not sure whether I still have it. I’ll have to take a look. Good reminder though, otherwise might look for another copy. Has it been reissued recently or at all?

Well, and you’ve seen them twice. What a relief. Unfortunately, I never got a chance to see AEC live, unfortunately. All the more I enjoy the music. That record is on my list. Thx

Well I have to quote myself.
This record is sent right back and I don’t know if I’m gonna order it again. The quality was that poor. Sorry…
This has been on my Amazon pre-order for a while [ £25.91 ]
But has turned up this morning!
3LP set cleaned and into new poly-paper inner sleeves.
Will play them later

David Grey - White Ladder.
I was looking forward to this one but… oh dear! What a disappointment. Side A sounded fairly flat and like it had been cut from an MP3. Then, to make matters worse, most of side B it sounded like my stylus was broken. What a waste.

On a much better note, I’m not sure why it took me so long to order this LP - I loved Carrie & Lowell and have practically worn out my copy now - but I’m delighted I finally did. This one is a good pressing on lovely translucent yellow vinyl. Sound is really excellent.

I haven’t listened to Albedo 0.39 for a while, thanks for the suggestion.

On a recent trip to Germany picked up some terrific vinyl. Including this one - my favourite Don Ellis. Superbly remastered for the excellent MPS label - audiophile recordings for non audiophile prices (I paid 18 euros in store)
Of course this album includes the original and definitive Whiplash - used extensively in the film of the same name.

Richard, my copy doesn’t sound that bad. In fact I was pleasantly surprised by it to be honest.
Did you buy the double album or the box set? I bought both but only play the double album.

Just ordered.
The drummer from Deacon Blue (Dougie Vipond) lives close by I should get him to get Ricky to sign it.

I agree Richard. It sounds flat and lifeless and it’s so disappointing. I was looking forward to finally hearing this excellent album on vinyl and your comparison to mp3 is, sadly, about right.
Arrived here from Amazon this afternoon.
Paul McCartney - Egypt Station ( Explorer’s Edition )
Presently £19.99 prime for the 3LP set, another fine Munch HU

I bought the 2 LP version. I do hope mine is just a bad copy. I’m tempted to send it back and see if I get a better sounding one in return.
