Wow that looks like quite the package! Whats included? I have an original but tempted by this too!

Book 1: The Vinyl Detective - Noise Floor by Andrew Cartmel (Titan Books, 2024) I started this book before the New Year and just finished it earlier today, so I'm starting strong with the vinyl-related book. These are super fun, crime capers centered around music and vinyl. Ignore the...

Book 36: The Rainfall Market by You Yeong-Gwang (Michael Joseph, 2024) The last couple of books that I read over the Christmas break. This was a fun read full of magic and whimsy. Read more like a young adult/child book really but fun all the same. Book 37: Strange Weather in Tokyo by Hiromi...

The 2024 Reading Challenge was another great success! I loved seeing all the books you all read and have added quite a few to my own readlist! Lets start afresh with the 2025 Reading Challenge! Happy reading!

Christmas has been a bit of a write-off for me this year as I've been down with the flu (missing a New Year's Eve party too) but I just had to share this in 2024! I submit @Kris for being this year's MC (Master of Christmas) for the incredible generosity in my Secret Santa gifts. 2 albums (both...

Cool, drop me a message closer to the time and we can sort it out.

Hey man, are you going to be in the UK any time soon? I have a second unopened copy you can have.

Merry Christmas all! Hope everyone's had a great day!

Wowza, yeah that is very pricey! He seems to have quite a following nowadays so hopefully he will stretch out to the US soon so you can get an affordable copy of one of his albums!

Honestly, I missed it too until I saw this copy online. Looking forward to listening though. Hay is an incredible musician and puts so much effort into each package. This one came with a handpainted cover (each one is slightly different) handpainted artwork sheet, handwritten thank you note...

Andy Hay - Polaris (Self-Released, 2024 Limited Pressing) Muriel Grossmann – The Light of the Mind (RR GEMS, 2024 Limited Pressing) The Tony Kinsey Quintet - Play A "Jazz At The Flamingo" Session (Decca, 1957 First Mono Pressing) London's Gentlemen Of Jazz - Fiddler On The Roof / Sweet Charity...

The Muriel Grossmann kicks ass!

I saw Andre 3000 at a festival in the summer. The whole vibe was really chill and everyone was sat down in front of the stage. Next thing I knew my mate was shaking me awake. 4 out of the 8 of us had fallen asleep listening to him play :ROFLMAO:

New one from Andy Hay popped up for pre-order today!

Bought a record yesterday that I have been after for years. Paid and was updated to shipped. Today its been cancelled/refunded and the seller messaged to say that the pricing was a mistake and she's now going to re-list it for 30% more than the original price. So annoyed.

I completely agree. Its one of those books that I've found myself skimming though countless times since I got it. As you said, the format makes everything super easy to read. I've got a few similar styled books that are much smaller and even though they show the rear covers of albums, the text...

A couple of killer new jazz albums arrived in the past few days and I just wanted to share them here. First up is the latest from the British musician Andy Hay, the self-released "Polaris". As always, Hay took a very DIY approach to this album with hand-painted artwork, a hand-written thank...

Book 33: Lady Joker Volume 2 by Kaoru Takamura (Baskerville, 2023) Volume 1 of Lady Joker was one of the first books that I read this year and I finally picked up the second to read. As with the first, I found the story to be great but spread incredibly thin over a staggering 608 pages. It...
