bickster Posted July 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2019 Original first pressing on Operation Twilight 23 Skidoo - The Culling is Coming I like odd atonal musique concrete type stuff every now and again. This is out there in a big way. It is also noticeable for having a closed groove in the middle of one side. This one is in very very good condition and appears to be quite sought after, it still has the original insert intact too I may play this again in about ten years time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'm now playing a silly game where I have to play the next record that plays at 33 1/3 rpm pulled at random out of the uncleaned section of the racks Just now I played Soft Cells Greatest Hts but now I'm playing this...

bickster Posted July 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2019 Going downhill now, rapidly... Rusty Egan, Glenn Matlock, Midge Ure and Steve New produced by Mick Ronson from 1978 The Rich Kids - Ghosts of Princes in Towers. This will not last a full play, it's absolutely awful. One for the discard pile The longer it goes on the worse it gets. It's now become compellingly awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 30, 2019 Slightly better, though that's not hard World Domination Enterprises - Let's Play Domination from 1988 One great track in Asbestos Lead Asbestos and two good covers in Funkytown and Jah Jah Call You. All on side 2 which is much better than side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted August 1, 2019 Moderator Share Posted August 1, 2019 I wasn't that aware of Suicide at the time of their existence, I was aware of who they were and Alan Vega but never really came across their music. I have now been aware of them for some considerable time and this albums influence on such a huge canon of the music I like is undeniable. When I heard they were re-releasing it I thought I would put it on my shopping list, couldn't find it in Liverpool or Bristol but today I found it in Preston in Action Records, so now I'm listening to... 2019 red vinyl, deluxe limited edition version (not that there's any other) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
