While I was there I picked Elbow - Build a rocket boys. On the CD I often skip tracks that i know I shouldn't so a vinyl copy will stop that nasty habit and sound bloody brilliant too. Fantastic album that.
I strolled down the road and into Freebird where I picked up this 3 disc gem from the God-like Hank Williams 3rd. My evening is sorted.
Sorry for repeating myself but.... The Elbow is actually a 2 disk set played at 45rpm. Lovely sound
The Hank 3 set is on bottle green vinyl. It's mad as a bag of alligators in a goldfish bowl but in a nice way. Well maybe not nice. "Outsiders who came in to dry off" include Tom Waits and Les Claypool (of Primus).
Elbow have always been fans of good recording...
even their cd's subscribe to the "turn me up" philosophy..http://turnmeup.org/ exactly not like Metallica!!
Brass Bands are all very well in their place -
outdoors and several miles away....
Be getting this regardless but it is very good.Great sound flaws and all. Nice introduction to Caetano Veloso with some well known talking heads tracks and DB tracks.
Two more beautiful Lp parcels arrived this morning. The second one below I ordered direct from the label itself as I was saving myself almost £20.00!!!!!
Marco Fusinato - Ambianxe on Spring Press from Volcanic Tongue...
Steve Noble/Stephen O'Malley - St. Francis Duo on double vinyl directly from Bo'Weavil.....
