:lol:

 

Also HMV have just done a huge vinyl sale restock - I just got loads of email alerts for items I wanted that were sold out :unsure:

 

I got the emails also, I clicked immediately on them to discover they were out of stock already/still!

50th anniversary this year of my first Xmas present vinyl album (This Is Glen Campbell) and the most recent Xmas vinyl album xmas present from my brother & partner is Awesome Mix Vol 1 (Guardians Of The Galaxy), while I picked up a 2nd hand copy of Bobbie Gentry's Way Down South, cult dark-country act of 1967-1973...and then that was it, she retired pretty much. She had a side career doing hit cover duets with Glen Campbell. I love it when links are circular.......
I got bored today and ordered two Alanis albums, SFIJ and Under Rug Swept as a shop on Discogs had the limited versions both quite cheap ^_^
If anyone is collecting the Doves re-issues, 'Some Cities' is currently only £12.99 on Sound of Vinyl
Hurrah I got the Chemical Brothers boxset from the HMV sale, so so happy!

 

Glad you finally got a copy in the sale - such a great boxset.

So my HMV order arrived today so I can add the following:

 

Scissor Sisters-Ta Dah!

Paloma Faith-Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?

Whilst I've wanted a record player for a while it wasn't something I'd ever indulged in as I figured buying vinyl would quickly become an expensive hobby I can't justify.

 

However I used the bandcamp deal a couple of weeks ago to make a couple of purchases and then ordered a couple more since to start a collection. Two of current faves and two others that I've played huge amounts of in the last 2-3 years. Think I'll keep the collection going and mainly to these type of smaller acts that need the support most. They do all look amazing. Could do with something to play them on now.

I do have a record player and it is quite fun to put a record on every now and then (see below), I've been having it on at the start of my Working From Home night shifts so I don't keep others up. If you don't end up getting one however I'd definitely recommend getting a frame to display your records on the wall. You can rotate them as and when you see fit! : )

I think it depends on how the album was recorded... if it was recorded digitally back in the day and now they make a vinyl, it's gonna sound like the CD... but if the album is taped with analog technology and directly into vinyl, it definitely sounds better cos the sound tends to be warm and has more texture... I always same the same but for me the most extreme experienced on vinyl is listening to Damien Rice - My favourite faded fantasy, especially Colour Me In, it always feel like he's there next to me, doesn't sound like a CD.
