I did actually buy a couple of things for the stepdaughter; Shape Shift With Me! by Against Me! and a signed Lacuna Coil single on purple vinyl. And the Game of Thrones stuff for the missus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 The crux of all this is that it's highly subjective, and it's down to whatever floats your boat, the actual dig, the item or the music? Rob's perspective and tastes are different from mine, but I imagine some of the titles he's after will always be around? Like the Dire Straits and the Wilson tunes. Don't think anyone here is banking on their collection being part of their pension? Also remember I was surprised that vinyl came back, so this isn't written in stone by any means. I think the vinyl fad will pass, for social reasons and practical reasons. Space is becoming a luxury. In 10 years time you could be getting way more presses of desirable titles like 'Pacific Ocean Blue' for your money? 1 hour ago, bickster said: You know he's bought a Columbian bootleg of a Beach Boys album that he already owns 59 copies of... Heh, yeah. You get comfortable thinking that, then he posts this... That's leaving the comfort zone there. New stuff is being bought, respect due Do reckon Rob likes Black Sabbath, Todd Rundgren and the Beach Boys and I think of loads of albums he'd really like. Then he's happy with Marillion, so I can shut up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I’m sure you’ll already know, but just in case, there’s a new Creation Rebel album on its way later in the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the other comments I’ve got four or five Sabbath lps but loads of Rundgren, including at least half a dozen Utopia discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha if it’s music you're after, that isn’t it BUT…. Some of those who like drone consider it a masterpiece. It is of course influenced by his former band mate, John Cale's experimental work in the early 60s… and heroin. Possibly one of the bravest or dumbest records ever released by a major rock star, it absolutely trashed his reputation for years Also for fans of Star Trek, the race of aliens known as the Breen's language was based on MMM, the people making up the language were told to use it as their reference point. I'd buy a copy of it just to listen to it once for the experience if it was cheap enough. It’s not something that’s pleasant to listen to but it is one of the most important records ever made, it’s influence spreads far and wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No and I got in trouble on Discogs for uploading the labels to an already uploaded version as it seemed they’d **** up.
