ToonGuns Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I see Pink Floyd have announced a 45rpm double vinyl release of the Knebworth live gig that was in the Later Years. They are fuckers aren't they. They know I'll feel ripped off. But know I likely can't resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that makes more sense if it's at 45rpm. And yes, it's a bullshit release really and yes, Pink Floyd absolutely knows people like us will buy it anyway LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) I had that Floyd release announcement sent to me earlier on that led to a discussion on Queen's last show at Knebworth. I'd love for the full show to one day get out (it's predominantly the source for Live Magic), but Queen productions don't seem to want to do it seen as there is no video footage to accompany such release (if you're to believe the official word, the gentleman responsible for filming that day's show forgot to hit 'record').

Money takes up the entire side of one of the vinyls. Sound quality should hopefully be good. Anyway - ordered it. No surprises really. Feel a bit ripped as 4 of the 7 songs are also on the "Latter Years Highlights" vinyl that I also bought maybe 4 months ago (with some of the DSOT remixes)... I reckon the DSOT remix will also likely get a standalone remix at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A way for Gilmour to charge even more for it as a standalone :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 @RussTCBis Michael Jackson Bad 180 grams (not picture disk) a good pressing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few 180g pressings of Bad and I've never heard anything negative about them. One of my pressings is the Music On Vinyl 180g pressing and it's fantastic. One thing that's great about reissues of Bad is that you get Leave Me Alone as the last track on the album. Original pressings of the album ended with Smooth Criminal and didn't have Leave Me Alone included at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, not sure exactly which one but someone in my area is selling a sealed one for 29$ CAD and I've been meaning to pick a copy up. He also has a sealed copy of GNR GH for $45 that I'm happily going to pass on... Edited March 14, 2021 by Coma16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coma16 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 It looks like the 2015 Euro version, which doesn't look like it contains Leave Me Alone... ah well, still glad I picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Leave Me Alone is a great song...was that just a single after Bad's original release? I was unaware it wasn't included on the original pressing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I honestly wasn't aware there were 180g reissues without that song. Damn. 2 hours ago, Dean said: Leave Me Alone is a great song...was that just a single after Bad's original release? I was unaware it wasn't included on the original pressing! It was on the original CD of Bad but not the original cassette and vinyl pressings. It was supposed to be a way to get people to continue buy the CD over the other two formats. There was a 7" single for it when the video was released but it wasn't included on any vinyl pressings until reissues started around 2010. It's also included on the 3 LP "Bad 25" set along with a lot of cool demos. One song included on that set is called "Streetwalker" which was almost included on Bad in place of Leave Me Alone. Streetwalker is a bad ass song and I actually prefer it to Leave Me Alone at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonGuns Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Just pre-ordered Max Richter - Voices 2 on LE clear vinyl. Got the first one, love it (very ambient) so went with the sequel. There were some signed copies that I missed out on unfortunately. Edited March 15, 2021 by ToonGuns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 I was in Walmart with my wife last night and took a look through their vinyl because they have a lot of exclusives. I ended up getting a great deal on. Bob Segers Greatest Hits. It's a 2 LP set with MoFi style inner sleeves. It's got all the Seger songs I need and it was $22.97! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's this one record store fairly close to my house that used to kick major ass in the 90s, bit they've gone way downhill over the past 15 years or so. I stopped in there about 5 years ago maybe just to see if it was as bad as I'd heard. The rumors were true the store was like 90% drug paraphernalia and 10% music. Anyway, they had a tiny vinyl section so I flipped through it and BAM, they had a copy of the Friday Music pressing of Empire. I've never been back since but that one stop in was worth it lol.

That is a real shame, we have one across town, but I've had spotty luck so I decided to give it a go today, it appears that the quality of the store has greatly increased since I was last there about 2 years ago, I normally do a day trip into Vancouver and hit stores there but today was a pleasent surprise a fair number of the ones of the list were from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussTCB Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 These Walmart & Target exclusives are gonna be the death of me lol. I found a Target exclusive copy of The Go-Go's Greatest Hits yesterday. I don't have any of their stuff so i grabbed it. Everything I know by them is right on Side 1 so when I got home, I put Side 2 on first just to hear some new tunes. There were some REALLY good tunes on Side 2! Then I flipped it over and took a trip down memory lane. I like the record a lot but I ts further proof that I need to stop looking in the vinyl section at Walmart & Target because I'm just gonna keep finding things I think I need lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonGuns Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'm out for a month I think. Need to save up. Just got very poor service on Discogs so a warning to people - took a seller 6 weeks to post me the item (they were selling stock they didn't have, having to buy in to order - took them 5 weeks to find it from somewhere in eastern Europe), they charged me very expensive postage, then offered me 15% discount for the delay but never paid it and are now ignoring all messages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an absolute sickener. I'd keep chasing mate, or if it's not a hard to come by item (I assume it is given that it took so long), just go for the full refund and pick it up from elsewhere. That's some carry on and is enough to put anyone off, but poor show from the seller as they should have handled that much better - being honest up front about not actually having the item would have been a start. Maybe send him a message saying something along the lines of that you are incredibly disappointed with the service that you have received, you hate leaving negative feedback but feel that you've been forced into a position to do so in order to prevent the same happening to other people. Something like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that! The crazy thing is it is a bricks and mortar shop, not even just a "bloke" selling from his garage. A proper shop. Terrible really. Think I'm just going to park it. Not worth the hassle. And they did (eventually) deliver the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to hit Neptoon records and Scrape records whenever I was in Van. Scrape was the best, shame it closed down a few years ago. The stores around Victoria kinda suck, but there's a couple decent ones. Tbh I get most of my records online now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
