Mine currently stands at 802, and I still have letters T-Z to add. Yeah but 80% of your collection is in B 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in every instance I alwauys check both if there's something I really want. Sometimes one is very much cheaper than the other. I have contacts for my Beach Boys stuff (just dropped over £100 on a rarity) either from Facebook or knowing them personally. Even so, I just found a real oddity on eBay , Beach Boys album from 1972 repackaged and retitled on an Italian Budget label. Never seen it before and got it for about seven quid. You not bother with record shops? I like doing it online because it’s more chilled and you have time to check a few things over. Saying that you can’t beat walking into a shop and searching through the lps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones the missus got me are not loud enough. I’m partly short of hearing in one ear anyway, but when I play music I like it very loud. Wouldn’t mind some of those Marshall stacks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 20, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 20, 2021 Its been a busy day, out earning money this weekend for the first time since the pandemic started and doing some DIY today to. Time to put my feet up with a refreshing beer and my choice of album was Sextet by A Certain Ratio Laid back Manc Alt-funk. This has always been my favourite album of theirs, I'm fairly sure I've posted it before but it deserves another mention anyway. I love everything about this record including the abstract cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
