They've even autographed them. Pretty cool, right? Except it's $810 and it's 5 single-sided LP's. That's a GN'R level move right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Picked up O.K. Computer and awaiting Tears for Fears' new album getting delivered in the next few days. I've only heard two singles from it, but the title track is one of the best songs I've heard from them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 @ToonGuns Hey man - that cleaning kit you bought a few months back - would you recommend? Was the difference considerable in other products you've used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, to be honest I don’t have any real reference point as I’d only previously used cloths and basic wiping, so compared to that it is much better. For what I need it is perfect. Only thing to be careful of is the dripping going on to the labels but I had been warned about that before so just take care to avoid that which is easy. It’s nothing fancy, just a moulded plastic trough but for what I need it is bang on and does a good job cleaning the vinyls. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they have announced a non farcical priced version for c. $200 without the autographs, but I seems to only be available in USA? Anyone know if this is available anywhere in Europe?

Dean Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It's bizarre seeing bands selling autographed vinyl for astronomical prices. It will no doubt sell too. I remember Morrissey was doing likewise at his shows, but rather than being a limited edition, or his own music for that matter, he was selling his own autograph on random artists records for pricey sums. Absurd behavior! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absurd behavior! The ONLY records I have that are autographed were done so by the artists when I met them. Never in one million years would I pay extra for an autograph. I don't pay for meet & greets either though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though in saying that there have been a few records I've been excited about and the preorder / early release, or whatever, has come as signed copy for a few extra $. Don't mind that if it's reasonable priced and gets me the music I'm excited about and have been looking forward to faster. These avenues also tend to go as direct as possible to the artists pocket which I dig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dissident Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Listening to the new Scorpions album and it is phenomenal my only issue is that they change the tracklist for the Vinyl from the CD just the order, it baffles me when bands do that like just use the same tracklisting and if you are so attached to the other order split across another Vinyl and add the bonus tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think I'd throw a few bucks toward getting a signed album so long as there wasn't a huge premium on top of the price for the luxury. I was tempted to do it for Steve Perry's Christmas album last year, but I ended up not bothering with it at all. I imagine Tommy Stinson will do something like this when his Cowboys in the Campfire album eventually is released, so I'll probably grab a signed copy of that if possible. I picked up a few singles - Eurythmics Thorn in my Side, an original of Ace's How Long (I picked up a reissue of it a few months back and the sound is horrendous), Michael Jackson's Black or White and Leave Me Alone - I was holding out for a copy of Bad with that on it, but with picking up the single, I'll just grab a copy when I next come across it regardless if it's included or not! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Guys, please go out your way to listen to Tears For Fears new record The Tipping Point. My copy eventually came today and I'm blown away. I loved the title track right from the get go, however I had only heard No Small Thing when that dropped and didn't bother with Break The Man as I wanted to wait til I could hear it in full. Break The Man is an absolutely horrendous ear worm. I can't stop listening to it as a result. Ha! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really went all out with it! I've been watching their performances on Sirius/BBC over the last few days, I think it's en route to number one in the album charts over here. They're playing an intimate venue in my neck of the woods on tour so I think I'll need to be in attendance for that. I'm really really impressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to Nine Lives not long ago and it's got some good stuff - Full Circle is great, and Something's Gotta Give always gets stuck in my head for days whenever I listen to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the title-track, even though it's a kinda 'weird' Aerosmith song. The bonus tracks were pretty decent too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonsaul Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Messed up again due to delays with postage and stuff, and looks like I've got a duplicate record arriving. R.L. Burnside - Worried Blues Fat possum release, should be sealed brand new etc. Hit me up if anyone wants it when it arrives or wants to do a swap.
