Seat68 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I think that's the Psychedelic Furs album I have. It's not played much. Going to have a day of playing rarely played stuff soon. Just need to encourage the other three house occupants to go out for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I didn’t. Gone. Nobody ever admitted taking them, or hiding them, or getting fed up and binning them. Just gone. I do suspect that eventually one day they will turn up in someone else’s attic box of Kiss, Scorpion, or Queen. They were never my favourite band, they were always a second best to the likes of the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes and the Cure, even the Au Pairs and the Specials and lots more besides but despite all that I bought the first four albums (and also have a copy of the fifth - Freebie). I'm always a little shocked that I have 5 of their albums and probably still listen to four of them. I've even been to see them quite recently (again a freebie) I still don't class them as one of my favourite bands but they are always there, it's just a little odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the run out markings Side A: SP 70604 A - 1J - 1 - 1 Side B: SP 70604 B - 1J - 1 - 2 and no other markings! I'd add that one myself. I've had to add loads to Discogs, mostly test pressings or acetates. Oh and label variations. Got a few to do but putting it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, like you say, if it’s too longwinded I just couldn’t be bothered. It’s not like I’m selling the albums I own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, family members can check that list to make sure they don't get me something I already have Example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted December 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2021 Although I am by no means a pressings nerd, I did keep back all my early REM (albums, 7" and 12" singles, EPs, etc.) when I flogged off 90% of my vinyl collection. But to my slight dismay, I realised I inadvertently left 'Reckoning' in the 'sell' pile, so it's missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was Murmur, I'd have gladly sent you a copy (or Fables for that matter) as I have 2 of each due to being given a bit of vinyl at one point by a mate who was emigrating.

With the help of @bicksterI can do that listing stuff, using my phone (when the app works). TBH in terms of listing, I think 99% of my music is also on my computer, so if I need to list it I could just export the list from the Music application. Not all of it will be physical, but most of it is on CDs and some Vinyl. Like I said, I can't really be arsed with a user unfriendly Discogs gubbins. I mean I could be wasting time on VT instead! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted December 30, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 30, 2021 Sigur Ros' Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust It was fair to middling for me. Some songs better then others. Probably not understanding the lyrics didn't help and I did find the high pitch of the singer a little grating at times. Would I buy it over a Dua Lipa album? 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some songs better then others. I think Takk was the last really good album they did. Since then I bought a couple of other ones, but when they went down to a 3 piece they lost something. Also that Philharmonic gig @bickster and I went to (and also the one in Belgium) they had Aminina playing alongside them, whereas when I saw them in Blackpool they didn't have Aminina and it was nowhere near as good. Jonsi's latest album ( I posted the other day in the "which Album" thread) Obsidian, is kind of going back to their early stuff and is pretty decent. It's a Bandcamp download. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Wasn’t sure if this should actually be in the art thread, the wonder that is the pop up SFA album Guerilla that includes the ‘hidden’ track Citizens Band, which plays backwards put the arm at the ‘end’ of the record and let it work it’s way outward 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
