I've been hoping for a long time for this - but I'm not sure it will ever come down enough in UK/Europe for me. I just want the live albums (and have already a lot of live Nirvana) - so I can't justify paying too much for it. Basically needs to go under half price...

Decent sale at HMV in UK (apologies if mentioned already). I idly Googled Ragged Glory on vinyl and the boxset is 99.99. As I wanted Ragged Glory and Weld and they look like costing more than that individually, I bit...

It took me six or seven songs to realise my mistake. My then girlfriend then lost her sandals in the tent. I was reviewing the festival for a newspaper and woke up the next morning with notes about Beck among others, and I had absolutely zero recollection of seeing him. Happy days!

First: Counting Crows at Wolverhampton Civic Hall Last: PJ Harvey at Øya Festival Worst: I once meant to see a mellow US band (I forget who) at a festival while stoned but instead stood in the wrong tent and saw a death metal band. That was awful. Loudest: Dinosaur Jr Best: Oasis at Earls...

I must admit I hadn't paid attention as postage + custom fees from US would make it utterly prohibitive.

Really enjoying the new Gillian Welch. I think I'd prefer just an album of hers (not David Rawlings singing) but it works out well on this. BTW assume this may have been covered, but Acony confirmed to me this will get a wider vinyl release ie not just be sold by them. They said it should be in...

I use Tergitol. I don't rinse off. And I haven't had a problem with that.

My 1980s Quad pre-amp and amp just broke (still crossing fingers that it's an easy fix). If it's not, I'm wondering about just making it easy and getting an Arcam Radia A15 ie eliminating the pre-amp/phono stage. I'd appreciate any thoughts now you've had it a while. My turntable is a Clearaudio...

Yes, that sucks. I checked and I got mine for €60

My semi-regular reminder that this boxset exists https://www.discogs.com/release/1518947-Miles-Davis-Chronicle-The-Complete-Prestige-Recordings-19511956 and that it's super cheap and has all his Prestige stuff on it. I bought it a long time ago, and haven't felt tempted to get any of the...

I've got the European version of this pressing. Can't remember that it sounds anything other than good. Pressed at Optimal, I think https://www.discogs.com/release/3303546-Ramones-Ramones

It's worth saying that while One World and the live albums are great, Solid Air (at least to me) is on another level again. It's such a beautiful album.

Looks to be a single?

Absolutely. It's a bit of a pain cleaning 7s at the moment so that would be a big plus. I hear you, and mostly agree with you. But that's the thing about gear - it's not like speakers 4x the cost sound 4x better. You spend a lot of money chasing small differences. It's whether the difference is...

That's true. I hope not to need to make that decision for a good while. I just think HG has got expensive enough that it's worth thinking a bit about what I would do next. I upgraded my system about 6-7 years and I'm v happy with it - I don't have audiophile ears so don't see the point of doing...

It sounds a more solid machine with some decent upgrades. But double the price (for me, thanks to currency, customs etc) means that if ever I was looking to replace my current one, I'd think about other options eg Degritter.

Happiness is finally, after 3.5 years, finishing cleaning my collection. I don't know the exact numbers but my rough maths suggests it's been about 2400 releases, 3300 pieces of vinyl, and about 5000 cycles of cleaning. Happy now to only need to do this every now and then - for new stuff (which...

The first volume of this was absolutely awesome. Really looking forward to this...

I've said it before, but this is the song I want played at my funeral. Can't say I care too much about his other stuff one way or the other, but I adore this song.
