I’m definitely in! What a truly amazing and brilliant gesture.

I thought they confirmed on Discord that it’s not the Beatles…

Not like I’m inpatient or anything! :-)

And?!!

45rpm does require your anti-skate to be correctly set up. I have a few 45rpm AP and MOFI and they are more than exacting. Fingers crossed for you.

It’s next week.

Y You know what? I’m going to do exactly this my friend.

Can you talk me though how this works please?

You make a good point. I buy some records from big suppliers in Japan. I buy a box… pay. It’s at my door in Sydney 5 days later. With DHL. I’m not sure why it’s so different but you are probably right - because they don’t actually bundle records, shipping costs must be very significant so the...

I decided not to renew my Subscription for the first time. I’ve been somewhat insulated from these issues until the recent Mars Volta and OutKast pressings. CS have been responsive though. The issue for me is the price rise. Still. Swaps in the middle of the night. Delivery delays (somewhat...

Completely agree Nathan…

I’m with you. +Justments is an underwhelming album / long on exposition and short on tunes. I can hardly believe I’m saying that considering how much I love Just As I Am and Still Bill.

Missed The Wailers. This Club is not kind to those of us who live Down Under. It’s really impossible to land the best Store Drops.

Arse… I was hoping for Patchwork, Bobby Gentry. I’ll have to explore all of these - not familiar with any of them.

T Yes... you’re right. The Koko record was lovely. And the Buddy Guy San Francisco record is obviously well regarded but I just can’t warm to it. But definitely a worthy ROTM for sure.

No I’m not a Johnny Winter fan at all... unapologetically. I’m no blues expert. The most recent blues record that really sparked my interest was by Champion Jack Dupree. It’s darkly funny. The piano led blues just effortlessly grooves. I’m currently spinning some Television but you’ve spiked me...

Hi Robbie. For me? It’s a generic, almost blues bar record. Charlie Musselwhite isn’t much of a singer, so the voice puts me off too. If it wasn’t a VMP record, I’d never reach for it. And (I accept that this is a harsh criticism), there are SO MANY better blues records from that year. It seems...

Hi Nathan. I really don’t get what you’re hearing. The vocals are practically unlistenable. The band sounds a peg or two above a bar band. Just about. But the voice... god it’s awful. Of all the great blues options from that year, this truly is bottom rung. Love as always...

“Classic rock” = The Eagles. End of. Proof? Every expletiving time my dial flicks to WSFM here in Sydney, they’re playing Life In The Expletiving Fast Lane. Or Crocodile Expletiving Rock. One of the two. Every time.

This new stream has me delving into the past. This weekend, I started listening to Waylon Jennings for the first time. On. My. Gosh. I have played Honky Tonk Heroes over and over. What an album. 27 minutes. 10 songs. Every one of them is a killer. The humour, the pathos, the drumming (never...
