I dunno yet, it will be tomorrow evening before i get to hear them. They're both "no brainers" - guaranteed gems!

What's the Taste reissue sound like? I always wanted a vinyl copy but I managed to get a German Polydor twofor - first two albums - on vinyl once and it sounds just fine. Tempt me ;)

It's a cd copy Dermot, I have it on vinyl but nothing to play it on at the moment. Sounds good though!Picked it up for €7 today, thought it would be rude to leave it after me.

Excellent... will be watching and recording.... Thanks.

Some odds and ends of the vinyl variety I've gathered over the Christmas period so far :) # 2 is a gift from a Discogs dealer. #5 is a replacement for a faulty copy (badly warped) I got from Amazon. Except I contacted Rhino direct NOT Amazon. It took a while but I got there in the end :) #6,7 and 8 are pressies

Finally succumbed to the temptation even though I already have Vol. 1 from the '90s; the clincher? It's been upgraded to a triple vinyl package this time with supposed improved sq plus plenty of new pics/notes etc etc Oh, and it's now in b&w :) Which in turn inspired me to....

......buy this :) Celtic Note and Tower....
