Black vinyl for me, I think. I didn’t specify so I presume it’s going to be black. Interesting, on the site I use, the list of versions available has the 5 CD version crossed out.

Amazon cancelled orders, many sites I checked out either say "out of stock" or "sold out". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be, and this is pure guess work, that they made the minimum quantity they could guarantee would sell and left the rest of the order until they could gauge demand and they’ve fallen victim to the current omnishambles of covid/brexit/lorry driver disrupted materials supply.

Same thing on my local rock station where they tend to overplay War Pigs. One of my faves by Sabbath, but do wish they would play a bit more of their other stuff. Don't get me started on rock radio. The two main ones in the UK are Absolute Classic, and Planet Rock. On any given day they will play virtually the same list of songs, including Bon Jovi and Def Leppard (which all sound the same), White Wedding or Rebel Yell by Billy Idol (its as if he only recorded two tracks in his whole career) The Passenger by Iggy Pop, Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams, Baba O'Reilly by The Who, some shit by U2, Cherry Pie by Warrant, Sweet Child O Mine by GnR...you get the picture. **** boring. This is why, in addition to my own records, I have three internet radios dotted about where I mainly listen to US rock stations, and West Coast Golden radio which plays 70's/80's chilled sounds and yacht rock.

You have to understand, they’d left me in that room with that radio for the best part of an hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. That's why I am really thinking of reupping my Sirius subscription again(Satelite radio). Below is the great rock channels that they have: https://www.siriusxm.com/music/rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Very disappointing trip to Swansea today, I went to Derrick’s Records because on their website they claimed to have a copy of an Ancient Grease album. They didn’t. When I asked if they had it, as it was listed on their website, they basically said they never bother taking stuff off the website, so its really just a running list of every record they’ve ever had through the doors. What a shit show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon have cancelled a shitload of peoples orders for the 5cd set including mine. Had to find it elsewhere. Happily the 4 disc coloured vinyl set is still good to arrive although that wasn't from Amazon. Thanks for the info. No I hadn't ordered the CD, yet. I noticed the coloured Vinyl had been delayed too, can't wait to get my eyes and ears on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 As I’m on about fits of rage . Who was the most disliked Beatle ? My grandad had an irrational hatred of Paul McCartney . He liked The Beatles , but hated McCartney , and never bought his solo stuff. Not sure why this was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a podcast series called disgraceland that did a lennon episode and I'll be honest and say I didnt know half the shit they talked about, the heroin I could guess at but the running away with the other Asian woman to LA never heard of that, there's some night club "do you know who I am" type stories and from memory the whole point of the episode was the theory that the mega fan who killed him killed him because he had this warped image of squeeky clean perfect human 60s John lennon in his head that when he actually discovered he was an asshole he wanted to kill him (I listened to it about 2 years ago, it explains itself better than I can) Decent series, goes in to the darker side of all these big names, not listened to it but he did a McCartney episode in June 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
