Did Storf really attack Clapton and Richards?How exactly does Anthology’s 5 hour sellout prove vinyl isn’t a fad?

Clapton’s always been on shaky ground after his comments in support of Enoch Powell back in the 70s.Page 7 of the booklet. "White monarchists" - yep, I'd say he did.
I was aware of Clapton's issues but what about Richards?Clapton’s always been on shaky ground after his comments in support of Enoch Powell back in the 70s.
How Eric Clapton’s racism sparked a musical revolution | The Spectator
On 13 August 1977, a demonstration by the National Front was routed in the streets of Lewisham by thousands of anti-fascist activists. The latter’s elation palled, however, when they saw the evening…www.spectator.co.uk
They are also too thick. It makes putting the record in them too difficult. VMP has a strange obsession with weight (for both jackets and records) and think heavier -> better for all things.This makes me crazy on glossy jackets.........holding them by the edge and getting them in a sleeve ASAP is the only goal, lol
Well, hipster marketing translates to sales, not necessarily quality or ease of use.They are also too thick. It makes putting the record in them too difficult. VMP has a strange obsession with weight (for both jackets and records) and think heavier -> better for all things.
I got nuthin’ on Richards, I was commenting on Clapton.I was aware of Clapton's issues but what about Richards?
In this context, is “Monarchist” even a loaded term, or is it being used as a synonym for British? I sort of thought the latter; the phrase doesn’t connote a belief in the monarchy of whiteness, but does specify the whiteness of these particular monarchists. It has some implications by contrast to the non-monarchist artists in the genre, but I didn’t see it as inherently pejorative (this is my first post-cancellation month, so I can’t read it for myself to get a better sense of what Storf was saying).The term "white Monarchists" really shouldn't be this controversial. Guys like Clapton and Richards got rich and famous appropriating black blues music for white audiences and are wrongly held up as blues torchbearers while people like Buddy Guy were killing it in the same era. That's the point. That doesn't mean Clapton and The Stones weren't great and that you can't like them. But the way people talk about them can be wrong.

They used to not be like that...My collection looks like it’s mostly VMP releases because their spines dwarf everything else on the shelf, lol

Yeah it's pretty bad. The guess threads a joke and the mods get pissy if you criticize them.I just checked out the subreddit for the first time...lots of people really quick to latch onto complaints, push their glasses up their nose, and point out "you're complaining but I bet you're still giving this business money."
FYI, at least one of the Reddit mods is on hereYeah it's pretty bad. The guess threads a joke and the mods get pissy if you criticize them.

I think here is the truth spoken at last. Tip ons are a pain in the ass, not one lets a record in with a welcome !
