Now Again reissued it recently on CD and LP. Ooh, actually, the LP is sort of affordable in the EU. That Brexit sting though Maybe try see if anyone still has it on the shelves here? If you want the vinyl, that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I bought a double album called the greatest country show on Ronco, and each performance was introduced by a star from yesteryear, with an additional programme. I play it today and it's a bog standard 70s country music compilation, not live, imagined if the lineup was put together. It cost me peanuts and I only wanted it for a Cash tune that I thought was unique to this recording. It's shit, and I will listen to anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 John Holt - one thousand volts of Holt. Whatever age you are it's around £10 on eBay - buy it - quite simply timeless brilliance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I worked in Telford Our Price and then Virgin, Bob Marley's Legend aside, I would say this album was the best selling reggae (lovers rock) album the shop ever sold.

Thats actually expensive You should be able to by a decent vinyl or CD copy for around £4 plus postage (which will be still less than £10) on Discogs and I'll wager that a lot of second hand dealers with physical stores will have a copy of it to avoid the postage. It's not even an original album it's a compilation. iirc it's still the most succesful album any incarnation of Tojan Records has ever sold (by a huge margin) It's sold that many copies I'd wager a charity shop or two may even have copies 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I looked a few days later and they were suddenly going for £15.... So was sort of using £10 as ball park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a repress of Coltrane’s ‘Crescent’ recently out which I fancied, but it’s £40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Not the biggest Devoto fan and this album I struggled with in particular. I am giving it a relisten now I am older to see if I get more enjoyment out of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
