Not something that will get a lot play, but couldn't resist picking it up in charity shop for £1.50 today, and in absolute mint condition...

 

Nice! I bet those synths sound great!

They did actually! I wasn't sure I was in the mood for it when I put it on, but enjoyed it immensely all the way through! Nice Big Smile

Deep Purple "Come Taste The Band", the new 2LP reissue. Great stuff!

Re: What vinyl are you listening to?

Picked up a few discs yesterday from a record fair, but due to stylus problems not played any yet. However, as soon as that is sorted the first album I'm going to play is this one...

 

 

Never heard it before, but for £3.00 I thought it was well worth a punt to see how it compares to Focus.

Elvis was on Radio 2 the other night when I was in the car - made a mental note at the time to  keep an eye out for some of his stuff on vinyl - I imagine it plays well...

I saw the mighty Hogs many times in the 70's and once in the 90's.  Truly my favourite band of all time.

 

Split or Thank Christ for The Bomb the best? Who cares, they're both brilliant.

 

Unfortunately my original LP is so scratched and worn now its practically unplayable, but I still play the re-mastered CD of Split.

 

The guitar solo in Split Part 2 still sends shivers down my spine.

 

I can still see them playing Cherry Red on Top Of The Pops in 1971 even now, that was THE moment for me in terms of my lifelong love of music. Year zero.  Whilst everyone at school debated who was best (Hendrix/Page/Clapton) I was the lone voice sticking up for Tony McPhee.

 

Fantastic album.

True, and California, and Winter, and Blackmore, and Lee etc etc. Big Smile

 

They were the big three at the time though. Made for good arguments though.

Re: What vinyl are you listening to?

Still no stylus to play my buys from the weekend fair, but one of the first on will be this one..

 

 

 

Spent my downtime this evening cleaning them all with my Knosti.
