On Blue Vinyl. Been meaning to get this for ages.
Popped down to HMV and got this for 15 quid…

Mine arrived today and I’m spinning it now. Sounds like they have done a great job with the remastering and pressing.

This one arrived today, straight from Tokyo - much better than the European pressings (but we know this).

Following a mention from @crispyduck yesterday I’m now enjoying this album again but this time on vinyl.

My second outing to a record shop since getting back into Vinyl after 30 years off was fun, brought back memories from my youth. I am just concentrating on buying the must have albums for now, before diving in too deep. Picked up some anti static sleeves too, this little outing cost me $280.00, so I have to be careful.

A very good start NQ.
I know what you mean about having to be careful though. This collecting vinyl business can be both very addictive and very expensive just like the gear itself, I suppose.
However, it is all good fun and is bringing me immense pleasure during these very strange and stressful times.
A few of my latest purchases…
ATB with your collecting going forward,
Mike

Horrendous cover - fantastic album. Easily the best thing the Blockheads have done since Ian died - and probably better than the last 2 or 3 Ian albums. This is a well rehearsed and fantastic groove band - Norman Watt Roy is exceptional on this. Beautifully produced but only available from the bands website.
I think you know what thread that cover belongs to. No not the iconic covers thread, the other one.
I’ve been after a copy of this for a good few years but decent ones are pretty pricey so settled on this 1981 CBS copy. These 80’s CBS reissues are quite good I have a copy of Kind of Blue which is pretty good so hoping this is too.
Miles’s trumpet comes right out of the speakers on this recording.

Yup, I agree that the sunburst CBS issues from the '70s can sometimes really surprise by how good they sound. I have the sunburst label issue of KoB you mention, and it’s another that sounds surprisingly good.

Still got a deletion cassette of that one, circa 1976. 50p mail order from an advert in Melody Maker !
