Just finishing off in the Degritter, can’t wait to spin it in a minute. Ooh, that rhymes.
Sorry fro my curiosity but perhaps you saw in concert in Sweden (or elsewhere) some of these bands ? LED ZEPPELIN, FREE, DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, GENTLE GIANT, GENESIS, YES, WHITESNAKE, RAINBOW ? Thanks for your memories
I’ve been enjoying this a lot on Qobuz, so thought I’d buy my own copy. I hate buying records! It’s such a risky business. This one is supplied in a printed glossy paper inner sleeve. There were multiple micro shards of paper on the glued edges, which were stuck to the LP in strips down both edges of side B. The first track on that side is The Gunner’s Dream, which of course starts out quietly. Despite two cleans on the Okki Nokki, it’s still not perfect, the first minute or so being a bit crackly. I also had to run a drill bit through the hole in order to get it to slip over the spindle. Those issues aside, it’s a fine album, despite Roger’s added political comments!
The question is can I be bothered to say I’m going to return it to Amazon and try a second copy, before deciding which to keep? The dilemma of buying records!
Returning to Amazon is so easy it’s a no brainer.
I’d like to try and support independents but for me it either involves a car journey and parking, then the same all over again if defective or a PITA of a returns process, so Amazon gets a lot of my business.
Also, I have one of the “Big Fudge” sticky roller things that I find works well on paper dust and the like. I use that and then immediately give it a couple of runs through the RCM.
for the Crosby, a beautiful album and superb reissue… I’ve yet to do a vs my other copies (MFSL, Anniversary set, UK first press, Classic Records), but I know I’ll end up keeping em all!
Hi I have the 5oth Anniversary US pressing editions cut by Chris Bellman which is just amazing. However I have found this new Atlantic 75th Anniversary 45rpm edition just brilliant in that the bass is more tighter allowing a lot more detail and depth thru, whilst the bass still has that Big impact on your body when turned up. If that makes sense.
Both arrived yesterday way ahead of schedule. Jake Xerxes Fussell When I’m Called and T. Rex Electric Warrior. A Kevin Gray cut from the original master tapes.
