    Your week in music (last.fm collages...)

    My week. I love this thread because it's a little touchstone of consistency for me, I enjoy looking around at what everyone's been listening to, spotting common denominators etc. I've had an exhausting few weeks at work and have done little more than lurk around here on occasions, I look forward...

    Vinyl Me Please Anthology

    I knew I had seen this timely post somewhere... To be fair good on them for sending out replacement sleeves to those with damage.

    I was reading that too. He's had his ups and downs, I'm glad this got resolved. Such a beautiful album that transports me back to that time.

    Here's a pic of my beloved ebike on one of my many lovely commuting routes. I work in the city in the background.

    The Blue Note Thread

    Ohhhh dear. I admit it I have a problem. I just received a shipping email for a copy of the Japanese pressing of Night Dreamer. It had slipped my mind that I'd ordered that already, glad I didn't jump on that tip off from @Doctor_of_Jazz 😳

    The Blue Note Thread

    Oh that's great info thank you, very cool that the hosting company can run a sale, presumably without impacting on the seller? Or perhaps I've misunderstood and the seller can agree to participate in the sale in return for greater promotion or something. Looks like a very promising platform...

    I think I need to learn about Reverb. Not sure how useful for Australian customers but I've seen it mentioned a couple of times, this album is on my radar as something I want to get hold of in some form soon.

    John Coltrane - Dakar - 70s Japanese pressing. I'm blissfully "working" my way through my latest delivery. I love the spirit and energy in these Prestige sessions. This copy sounds great, I love the detail of sticking with the original "fireworks" labels too. I'm really, really, hoping I can...

    Vinyl Me Please Anthology

    Yes! I am in the habit of requesting this with any purchase, even from big retailers etc if there's a comments section in the checkout. Doesn't always happen. Another suggestion for the feedback form at the end of this I guess.

    Vinyl Me Please Anthology

    Damn, for the price we're paying for a premium all round experience I honestly would expect replacements. I can't help but feel slightly trolled by VMP posting tips on fixing seam splits recently (insta story maybe? I've seen it somewhere in the last day or two). Part of this anthology was we...

    R.I.P. VMP Forum

    Very well put as usual @Indymisanthrope. And to your point on vmp staff, I must admit I can't help feeling a little bad for Storf in particular. I know by his own admission he could come across a little dickish at times and other's views on him will vary but I felt like he contributed in an...

    I feel like you and I are on a similar journey - it's hard to slow down when you're having so much fun!

    Playing records once a day - fact or fiction?

    Case in point - I honestly own three different copies of sleep well beast, and I know I'm going to get the deluxe easy to find as well as my Cherry Tree copy. Can't help myself, but at least now it's because I'm being sensible.

    The National - I Am Easy To Find - Cherry Tree variant I just fucking love this band and the way they've grown and evolved (dare I say matured) their sound. Every album of theirs grows on me with each listen, this one is so goddam beautiful. I love all the guest vocalists, it feels like a...

    Joe Henderson - The State Of the Tenor - Volume Two, Tone Poet edition. What a time to be falling in love with jazz, there's so many affordable, quality reissues. These Tone Poets are like a build your own anthology - so good. I really like the cover photo too.

    Jazz

    One of the things I love about these forums is being able to watch someone else ask a question and all these fantastic responses flow in which I can benefit from. Another thing is that there's no judgement on who's a jazz guy or not! We're all just guys and gals finding our way in this crazy...
