Vinyl Me Please Anthology

If I see another I'll PM you. They've had at least 3 in the last couple of months though so may pop another up there yet. May be worth dropping the seller an email. They had just started using ebay when I got mine and didn't put the ecp code on the address but when we were trying to hunt it down they told me they had a few more if mine didn't turn up (which it did in some Truman Show esq circumstances)

I believe you. I hate eBay anyway. If it’s not people getting into bidding wars at the start of auctions it’s losing out last second on something you really wanted. 😂

I have bought one thing ever on eBay through bidding and that's exactly what I did. There was one guy watching for like a week. And with twenty seconds left I bid ten dollars over his bid for a set of mp3 DJ turntables/controller. I won because he couldn't get another bid in time. I almost INSTANTLY felt horrible and honestly I still do. I don't think I could do that again.

Yeah it’s the nature of the game with eBay. Feel horrible or make someone else haha.

Live Dead C/D, Reckoning C/D and all of Without a Net with A/B and E/F right out on to the grooves . Every other one had at least one bent corner.

Why put all the effort in to the packaging, and podcasts if you can't manage something as fundamental as putting a fucking record in an inner sleeve

Yep, I definitely made mention of it when I requested my replacements...

Have they agreed to replace yours? I've cleaned all them now so am about to start working through. I can see that all the transparent lps are off centre though but as long as I can't hear it I may let it slide

I gave AB and Europe 72 a listen today on Spotify, and I gotta say they're not hitting the same spot as Live Dead and Allah. I can see the appeal of their more country-blues stuff, but I prefer the psychedelic jams as opposed to their actual songwriting. They seem to have a very diverse sound though, which is very impressive

I know nobody cares, but American Beauty finally clicked for me. I believe I was just approaching the album with the wrong mindset. Once I listened to it the way I would a Neil Young album, instead of a psychedelic rock album, I could enjoy the songs a great deal more. And boy, is Kreutzman's drumming great troughout, but specially on Friend of the Devil. It sures makes the track something of its own, and not just another by the numbers country-rock track.

I didn't ask for replacements for the labels, only for sound issues. Yes they're going to replace what I've requested. Most of my off centred are just the labels, not the actual pressing, although there are a couple that are slightly off. But if I can't hear anything I'm not going to worry about those...

My WMD is noisy as a muthafucker. There's almost a constant veil of static across side A that you pick up whenever there's a quiet point. Ah nuts. This isn't a great start. Music sounds phenomenal though

Yeah that sounds similar to others I've heard about. I don't have that but I just have lots of light clicks on almost everything. Not terrible but certainly not QRP quality.

Check out the slowed down version of Friend of the Devil from Dead Set. Just beautiful! I prefer it to the original.
