It’s great to have a physical object for music.
The Vinyl dilemma …
I was lucky enough to get hold of one of the few copies of the last John Foxx 12″ single containing two remixes of Underpass. I have to say that these remixes are absolutely brilliant. I love them. However, it leaves me with a dilema. I love the 12″. I love the music, but, I can only play it on my turntable. I have no digital copy at all. I’d like to listen to these tracks on my iPhone and elsewhere, but I don’t want to take a digital copy really.
It’s a dilemma.
Beautiful vinyl
I’m pretty sure that I had this when it first came out, but I’ve just got it again as I’m collecting vinyl once more. It was a beautiful release back then, and still looks and sounds great today.
Mirrorball limited edition vinyl
I stumbled over this the other day in a local second hand record store, and whilst I’ve already got the music, digitally, the limited edition vinyl with a numbered print was worth every penny. Actually, it was only £6.50, so it was a real bargain anyway.
Record Store Day
Great to see record stores so full. What a great day, I’m so glad I could go along today. Rough Trade East was great even though they’d sold out of what I was after.
Never mind.
Still buying vinyl
There are a handful of tracks that are on a list, the kind of list you know somehow you’ll never get to the end of. For me it’s a list of tracks I had once and now I’ve no idea where they are, so I have to get them again. This EP from Toyah is one. It has a track on it called Urban Tribesman, which I really loved, but it just doesn’t seem to be available on download or on a CD anywhere.
So I decided that with this, and with many other tracks that I’m outstanding, I will have to get them on vinyl. You know what, it’s quite nice to be buying vinyl again.
