I finally bit the bullet and picked this one up. My first Impex record and will not be my last. Sounds so nice. Thinking or purchasing a Craft AS OJC album next. Hard to decide which one though!

Here’s an odd one.
I bought from Amazon the most recent (2024 issue) Jesus And Mary Chain LP, ‘Glasgoweyes’. I was cheesed off that what turned up was a 2LP set, playing at 45RPMl, which would be an almighty pain in the posterior to play on my LP12.
In central Brighton yesterday, I found the same LP pressed on a single (transparent red) vinyl LP, which plays at 33RPM.
I have never experienced before a new record being released simultaneously to be played at the two different speeds.
From the JAMC website:

No pain in the posterior on my LP12. Just hold down on the switch a bit longer. Dead easy.
The 45 adaptor is really pretty easy to use and was all we had for decades, well worth it to play 7"/12" 45s, let alone whizzy LPs…but still glad I no longer have to use it. Bless Lingo.

Yeah I know Stevie. I used to be in the situation with the 45 adaptor and although reasonably easy it did deter me from bothering most of the time.
Lingo was a blessing and now onto Radikal.
TBH I was just teasing Graham a bit. That Jesus & Mary Chain sounds great at 45rpm.

I’ve yet to be convinced by JAMC’s latest…maybe I should hear it @ 45!
Picked this up too. Fantastic.

After the vagaries of buying by mail order, I went into Rounder Records (Brighton) yesterday and came out with:
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Live @ Hollywood Bowl August 18 1967
The White Stripes - Elephant (20th Anniversary Limited Edition Red Coloured Vinyl)
Pink Floyd - DSOTM 50th Anniversary Remaster (180gm vinyl)
The Pink Floyd album is sitting next to a 50th Anniversary Remaster of The Wall, one of my very favourites ever.
Where has all the time gone? I remember so clearly the thrill of buying these records when they were first issued!
