The new one is 4, which I missed out on because I stupidly presumed there wouldn’t be much demand for a fourth release in a series of German electronica, so didn’t reserve a copy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 10, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 10, 2021 The Breeders - Pod. I'd bore you with how good a copy mine is but I can't be arsed. Great record all the same 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I hadn't purchased a CD in 12 years...then I remembered the Beach Boys "1967 Sunshine Tomorrow" from 2017. Lots of unreleased stuff and no vinyl version so had to get it. And just now ordered a CD from Discogs, West Coast All Stars, acapella covers of well known tracks. They sound amazing but once again no vinyl release. So I spent £5.50 on the CD.

For the completists among you, I’m happy to report that I now have 1 on CD, 3 and 4 on vinyl, and probably won’t bother with 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just cruel Why wouldn’t you bother with getting 2 when you have the other 3?! Even if it was utter tripe the collection needs to be complete! Edit: so just checked out how much 2 is on discogs; yeah I think your good for not getting it! £60 in UK looks to be the cheapest...

Even Spotify doesn't do 2, someones made a playlist of it from the original recordings but the record itself isn't there Which reminds me, I don't have Pay It All Back Volume 6. I must rectify this at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was utter tripe the collection needs to be complete! I might bother with 2 eventually, maybe, I mean I’m not against it for any reason but 2 has been issued as two double albums. So it’s £40 all in. But £40 would buy lots of other stuff and I’ve got a fair bit of German Electronica now! I certainly wouldn’t buy it just to complete a set. Not in to that at all, I don’t even have every Jam album, never bought Setting Sons, not in 40 years of knowing it was the only one I didn’t have. I’d rather try something else random on the chance I’ll find some new diversion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have bought a fair bit of rubbish over the years for completeness sake; but I think it depends on what your forking out on it. Usually those ones that aren’t great usually aren’t very expensive. To be fair though, happening upon something random was always the best part of going to record shop. Discogs does give that satisfaction pretty well but nothing quite beats spending an afternoon flicking through music to find that oddity or new band to like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall go to Manchester and Preston and lots of other places. I might even train it down to Brum then go to London for the weekend to visit the daughter (whenever she moves back there) That will be my holiday this year being as foreign travel is likely to be out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art School Slow Down Away From The Numbers Sounds From The Street Non-Stop Dancing Takin’ My Love Just an absolute barn stormer of an album. Then of course there is The Gift. Now you remove the 4 minutes that make up The Circus and Planners Dream Goes Wrong and that album is also superb. Don’t get me wrong, Mod Cons and Sound Affects are great albums. Settings Sons? That’s got Thick As Thieves and Saturday’s Kids, but in my opinion, a fair bit of filler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted February 15, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 15, 2021 In the City - Fun youthful exuberance This Is the Modern World - meh, too soon after ITC All Mod Cans - Maturity Breakthrough Setting Sons - The Peak, genuinely love every single track on it Sound Affect - Brilliant but Milking It The Gift - Bits and pieces album, hints of the future (meh), some good stuff some bad.
