 The Island Story - 1962 to1987

My missus bought me this in 1987, and boy was vinyl thin and flimsy by that stage. The two LP's in this set really bend rather alarmingly. It's a big surprise therefore that it sounds as good as it does. Not played this in 20 years.

Notwist - Neon Golden

Easily one of my favourite LP's of the last decade. Ace live too.

Deep Purple Burn and Supertramp Breakfast in America.

Did a tour of the charity shops this morning and turned up nothing. One shop still has Court and Spark for £15 and Oxfam have a Camel and a Tina Turner for £8.99 each. My money stayed in the pocket.

Re: What vinyl are you listening to?

Cracking album, forgot how good this one is.  The Tracey Chapman one I listened to before has SOOOOO much more depth and emotion than the CD can recover.

I was playing that last night, too. Jinx!

You're right, it is a great album. It's the only one that I have of his, but i'll defo be getting more.

You're right about Tracey's album, too. It's really natural sounding.
