Just received some Speakers Corner LPs from Scott Nangle - great service by the way, so highly recommended. Am listening to this new reissue of Carly Simon’s No Secrets. Cut by Kevin Gray, pressed by Pallas, it’s a good ‘un…

I’ve heard so many horror stories about that guy, @Richard.Dane, that I wouldn’t dare order from him (although his vinyl and SACD selection looks great).

I’ve bought plenty from him and haven’t had any real problems. Forgot to post something once but that’s it and the selection of stuff is huge. A good place to go if you’re after the more limited stuff.

My girlfriend ordered some Mofi LPs for me for Christmas. He was very helpful to her and all went well. So I’ve decided to order a few times from him since and I was impressed with how well packed the LPs were, and each one coming inside its own heavy duty “blake” sleeve too.

Ironically this last order, did go a bit pear shaped, mainly thanks to a change of courier. However, as soon as I raised the alarm, SN immediately despatched another package via the usual DPD and it arrived next day, so I cannot fault the service, so far.




The first two are on Pure Pleasure. Unfortunately they are no longer explicit about the tape source, simply stating they use the best available sources. However the Bobbie Gentry and Canned Heat are remastered by Sean Magee at Abbey Road and sound good. The Dr John is on Speakers Corner and is all analogue. It sounds very good but doesn’t have the same musical force as Gris Gris.

Do note that all Speakers Corner and Pure Pleasure LPs can be ordered directly online from the Pure Pleasure website.

Maybe he has upped his game. I steered away from ordering from him some years ago, although I cannot now remember what prompted it.

Hi @CliveB - I know for a fact that the Bobbie LP is all-analogue, and is an improvement sound wise on my UK and US Capitol 1st pressings.

All the recent PPs are 100% analogue (mastered by Ray Staff at Air Mastering in Hampstead) and are utterly excellent…

Hi Kev, I am pretty sure you will be well aware of the forthcoming Delta Sweete release, but just thought I’d pass this on anyway

Her new one, out today. I was very impressed with her previous effort, Cosmic Wink, so I thought I’d give this a go.

So worth me trading in my first UK presses and getting the reissues?

(I think your answer will be " Have both!" :wink:)

Unknown This arrived this morning. And mighty fine it is too. A solid and quiet slab of vinyl.

Nice one Debs, and Stu, of course.

I have my summer holiday this week so I popped into the local record store. Time to give Tidal a rest for a few days…
