talking of O, when to see Damien live in Cork and they still sell the cloth version vinyl for just 75 euros...

so anyone could just buy 1 just for selling it 5 times more expensive on eBay

You should have got another one!

Don't buy vinyl but notice O is mentioned a lot. Have never heard it or owned it. Maybe I should but re3ad reviews that say it's boring with no stand-out tracks.

O sure has its highlights that everybody knows like Cannonball and The blowers daughter, also Delicate, which wasn't even a single and Volcano

they've been featured in lots of movies and tv shows, and of course Little Mix disastrously covered Cannonball

 

it's the opposite of boring and I'd say all 10 tracks are a 10/10 for me with no weak song

that said, it's not an album for everybody, this is not a collection of happy chippy chappy songs

but rather about f***ing up relationships and not knowing what to do with your life, which many of us can relate too

its classic singer-songwriter stuff, songs coming from the guts, real stuff not songs cowritten with Steve Mac or Ryan Tedder :)

Had a vinyl haul in my local independent record store Spun Out today *.*

 

I couldn't resist this:

- Lana Del Rey - Norman F***ing Rockwell (limited edition blue vinyl)

 

Then got a bunch of dance singles from the second hand house section:

- Basement Jaxx - Jump N' Shout

- Basement Jaxx - Oh My Gosh

- Chocolate Puma - I Wanna Be U

- Jean Jacques Smoothie - 2 People

- Room 5 - Make Luv (feat. Oliver Cheatham)

 

:wub:

Those Basement Jaxx vinyl look like great adds to your collection.

I know right? :wub: the manager of the record store said he'd order in a 'The Singles' vinyl for me also, so I'll finally own that soon!

2 People ❤️

Just listened to "O" since it gets mentioned so much in here, and I mean it's alright, just feels a bit sappy and melodramatic at times.

 

His voice sounds pretty much identical to Ed Sheeran's lol

Got the following off my parents for my birthday!

 

Kate Bush-Aerial

Stereophonics-Just Enough Education To Perform

 

And I’ve been shopping today and completed my Arctic Monkeys collection with a Suck It And See.

just read that David Gray is planning to release White Ladder for the first time ever on vinyl

that's great news, one of the best albums ever

David Gray

2020 marks the 20th anniversary of White Ladder's big breakthrough year. The moment when, propelled by the springboard of our Irish success, the record began to climb up the charts all over the world, going on to sell millions of copies and transforming each of our lives in the process. It was a remarkable time and a kind of fairytale story, a record that was made for next to nothing in my spare room, starting its humble life without even a whiff of a marketing budget, going on to conquer the world.

In the intervening years I’ve forged ahead making new music but just recently I’ve been talking to Clune about the idea of getting back together for some kind of White Ladder celebration. It just feels like the time is right and that the record is still as alive for people today as it ever was. So.....there will be a re-release of the full remastered album in various formats, including for the first time ever on vinyl, a deluxe package with demos and outtakes, and also a worldwide tour - all details below.

As I write this we are back in the rehearsal room putting the old sounds and the old songs back together in their original form. I’m delighted to report that the old music still retains its magic. Hopefully everyone who has connected with the record across the years will come along to share that magical feeling with us.

For more info visit Davidgray.com, and for first access to UK or Ireland tickets, head to the David Gray shop to pre-order White Ladder, purchase merch, or sign up with no purchase necessary for a presale code. Codes will be delivered on Tuesday, 8 Oct and will be active starting Wednesday, 9 Oct at 9am BST. For European shows, all tickets will go on sale Friday, 11 Oct at 10am CET.

I hope some other artists follow the trend of rereleasing on vinyl. I need some retro Dido!

I've seen a red-black vinyl of No Angel on eBay but not sure if it's from back in the day or was released more recently

It should really say in the description?

I’ve seen some online but I think they’re from back in the days and are going for hundreds of pounds I don’t have!

I got 'Honeymoon' at the weekend so my Lana collection is complete now! :wub:

I also own Basement Jaxx - 'The Singles' now and both records are coloured, so my record collection has peaked

Am surprised that White Ladder wasn't released on vinyl. I know Dido's debut was and think Life For Rent was too.

Black Friday is coming next month, and the UK releases have been revealed. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/r...eleases__27467/
