.. to my neighbours, for the outrageous  volume I've been playing music since i got homeEmbarrassed

I've got totally carried away with some new heavyweight vinyl*  that just demanded to be listened to loudBig Smile

Haven't been able to use the turntable for a couple of weeks, and  it's too easy to forget how damn fine it sounds! My big floorstanding speakers, who've been fed a largely Blu-ray-and-Spotify diet this past fortnight, are going nuts....

Rave over - just had to share Geeked 

 

* the remastered Queen boxset. Stupendous for 'only' a compilation....

Re: I'd just like to say sorry...

Hope that catharsis has made you feel better. My tack (when I did have neighbours, now able to blast!) was always to say "just tell me when it's too loud" - and they never did..........Smile Always invite them to parties too.

Enjoy!

Yep.  Beautifully presented boxset (20 tracks split across three discs; smart booklet) and superb-quality 180g vinyl, double-sleeved.

Ah so *that's* what it was. I was in the garden and heard a racket coming from your direction - presumed it was rutting season in Bushey Park again.

Re: I'd just like to say sorry...

We've been lucky enough to rent a place in Edinburgh which is detached and has a decent sized garden front and back. No neighbours nearby for some distance. And what with having been redundant for a while...well, it'd be a waste not to!
