bickster Posted April 16, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2015 Found this hypnotic double album baby all shiny and new a few days ago and had to have it. All tactile and 2 x 180 heavy. Flipping, touching just the edge of vinyl, the sleeve slide, notes you can actually read. Ridiculous. A slow drive to Swansea now, with my newly ripped car CD copy: Truly, is home taping really killing music? Saw that t'other day myself, it may get bought in due course but I have my eye on a Sherwood produced album of his first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 That sounds amazing, I must buy a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I have been mostly listening to the Decembrists - What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World - early indications I do quite like it. Had a skip over the new Belle & Sebastien as well and it seems decent so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 not a clue what's about to arrive on my ears but how bad can it be for a quid? I'm going in.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 That's quite a nice find. Big names doing devotional music. The Mohammed Rafi track is great. Good nick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Yeah, looks to be in really good nick, there's a slight mark across two tracks but I think it's 'in' the vinyl, an original cosmetic flaw, not a scuff. Still waiting for people to go to bed so I can stick the headphones on and sprawl across the floor for proper listening. By condition and gut feeling it's the best of three randoms I picked up today... Esther & Abi Ofarim plus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Not that surprisingly - The other Indian one has a similar cast to the first one The Ofarim is the one with Cinderella Rockafella. That doesn't auger particularly well but the first Indian one could be a steal if it plays nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Yep, I like that, very calm and laid back, that'll get some play in the background of my candle light suppers. Whole album plays spot on with the exception of one little click or slight jump half way through the last track which is slightly annoying as its one of the two best on there (along with your Rafi recommendation). Not enough of a glitch to stop that getting played a few times. See, if Woolies was still around I could have invested in a Ronco Scratch Remover. The Ofarim was the bloody expensive one!!! paid out £4 for that one....Cinderella rockafella is indeed on there....don't know it, so I'm curious now, it's next up. *ahem, well that's two decent Indian albums and a candidate for one of those novelty vinyl clocks* Edited April 16, 2015 by chrisp65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 The best of Crispian St Peters, I loved his 2 hits, the pied piper and you were on my mind so took the plunge and bought a best of. I love his 2 hits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2015 Not at all how I remembered it, file under shit that Risso might like. I'm sure that I bought this because they had a song on Snub TV that grabbed me, it doesn't appear to be on this album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted April 17, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 17, 2015 The absolute definition of a 'grower' for me. I listened to it when it first came out and thought it was OKish but nothing special, yet it's grown to become one of the my favourite albums from the last couple of years. I think it's sublime.
