ToonGuns Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I must admit I never ever really got into the Rolling Stones. Aren’t there like 40 variants of the new album? Mental. Now and Then has terrible artwork. Surely the Beatles could have done better than that?! Recently picked up: - Porcupine Tree - new live album on preorder 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mental. Now and Then has terrible artwork. Surely the Beatles could have done better than that?! Recently picked up: - Porcupine Tree - new live album on preorder Yeah, the artwork for Now and Then was disappointing, not really befitting of the last single that wraps up their catalogue. The Stones are notoriously greedy cunts, so it was to be expected that there would be unlimited amounts of variants for their die hard following to pick up from! That said, promotion for the album has been what it should be for an album from a big act and they're showing how it's done - their logo even made it onto Barcelona's football strip! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 (edited) Just wanted my most wanted Led Zeppelin bootleg at a decent price! It is called "Custard Pie", it is from the 1980s and one of the only times their amazing 1973 Offenburg was pressed on vinyl. The only other time this show was pressed was when the album was included on the 70-LP monster set, "The Final Option", which goes for thousands of dollars. This is an okay audience recording, but it is quite possibly Jimmy Page's greatest performance. He is on fire the entire show. It should come in Monday. I am now at probably around 60 Led Zeppelin bootlegs. I am extremely lucky, there is an incredible store near me that keeps finding cases of them in the back. I have bought them all over time. I've since sold some show doubles, too. I also purchased some great GNR- related pieces. One is a bizarre 1980s press of their 87 show at the Horizon in NY called "Roses are Rad". I also have a 3- lp boxset called "Axl/DC" which is AC/DC's 2016 Dusseldorf show in its entirety. Axl sounds great.

I liked it more than the original cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 My Perhaps/General 7" arrived today. It sounds fine, aside from the bass drum clipping on TG... can't believe they released the song like that, and can't believe so many people here don't seem to notice it. Also got a copy of RHCP Live In Hyde Park, 3LP set from the By The Way era. Fortune Faded, Leverage Of Space, Rolling Sly Stone, Universally Speaking and Throw Away Your TV are all highlights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stash: - Steven Wilson - Bill Evans - Parliament - Mansun - Kenny Dorham Pretty much for everything I wanted and spent a lot less than last year (budget was blown last year as Van Halen live was £95). Was busier than last year as well. Possibly the busiest ever RSD I can remember. I got up at 4.45am, left the house at 5am, got to the store around 6am and there was already 30 people in the queue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
