Risso Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Just now, chrisp65 said: Do you get many by post @Risso ? I'm always worried the postie will fold it or leave it out in the rain or summit. Which has meant I've missed out on a couple of things. A few. This was especially well wrapped, and we have a great postie who always sticks parcels in the garage if we're not in. There's no proper record shop over here so it's the only way to buy for me really. If I get a few minutes when I'm working in Manchester I'll try to nab a couple of things from Piccadilly Records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I do have CD's honest! My early 1990's CD player is technically far superior to my late 1960's turntable. I just wouldn't get that irrational happy buzz from receiving a CD in the post, compared with that pretty thing Risso got. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the CDs it's still buying me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Different folks different strokes, I guess. Right now I'm enjoying my distraction hobby of building a cheap 60's / 70's system and record collection. It is interesting how trendy the vinyl thing is at the moment. I've got a few spare turntables that I picked up, the dearest cost me £35 about 2 years ago. They're now popping up on gumtree and e-bay for £200 each in very average condition. I also enjoy looking at vinyl prices in HMV. I was in there today, killing 20 minutes whilst the fam were doing a trolley dash around Primark. Seriously, £30 for Who albums! £24 for all manner of run o' the mill stuff. Part of me wanted to tell people there's a record shop around the corner that has new vinyl for £8.99 Good timing cashing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine sold his collection to the same dealer, with that exact attitude - let's get rid before the bubble bursts. But yeah, I totally get the different strokes/distraction hobby thing. And I still have about 200 LPs anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite happy with a vinyl option for those who want it, but denying the music to non-vinyl buyers is out of order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Sonically there's some great tapes, but they deteriorate when you play them and they deteriorate if you don't. When it comes to surviving a spell in the muddy footwell of a car, tape is king I have a nice Dolby S player, been meaning to get it sorted for 18 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you get the proper one...the one in this picture inexplicably has six tracks on the side you can see, the real one has five on each side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Beach Fossils - Somersault has more than a hint of the fannies about it. You must have a fair collection of Piccadilly Records mugs, as well, by now then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Not a huge fan of Bowie, or compilations, but this one has pretty much all my favourite Bowie tracks and was only £4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Yeah, one of those people where a 'best of' is sufficient. Though they'll always leave something obvious off, so there can be a 'best of 2'. The fuss that was made when he died, I'm actually amazed the earth is still turning. My missus has a couple of Bowie albums, she hasn't realised they've been wrapped and sealed in carrier bags out the garage for at least 2 years... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
