LP

2712

Pre-order

2713

Ditto. I have just finished listening to the FLAC d/l from Bandcamp. It is quite different to recent offerings.

2714

I didn’t get any email from EM this time, and have pre-ordered via https://kozmik-artifactz.com

I may have missed out…?

2715

I ordered it directly from Lulu the bass player via Facebook. Frankly, it is a pain in the arse that you get the d/l from one source and not from another. I’ve had issues with this when buying from Sulatron and not Bandcamp so I simply message them and ask for a code.

Maybe there will be a d/l voucher with the record.

Love this thread.

Means I have to skip the mortgage payment every now and then, but love this thread :+1:

i usually get an email about new EM releases, but not this time. It may transpire that the website I used has no more copies to sell. I did pay via PP, so I will be able to recover the payment. :+1:

It’s the only one I wanted from RSD, another Ltd edition that’s a fucking travesty, the limiting that is.

I thought about that one, what do you think about the pressing/ sound quality Bob?

2720

It’s ok, at the end of the day it’s an outside recording, probably made by a bunch of stoners, at a festival in 1967, so don’t expect too much from it. The performance however, outstanding. It will still be remembered more for the back lit filming of him at the gig more than anything, can see that on Youtube.

I’ll bring it down with me to the meatup.

Box is a bit tarnished, like all of them, but the vinyl is immaculate, they look unplayed.

Nice - where did you sang that Rob ?

2724

Cob Records in Porthmadog. Fantastic shop, I could have spent a grand in there without even trying, they had some seriously tasty stuff.

Was a bit spendy, £70, but £40-odd cheaper than the nearest equivalent on Discogs (mint vinyl, track list, dividing sheets and “Metal 1” sticker on the back of the tin, which is completely undented), less than the median sale price and I’ve been after a good copy for a long time. The last one I saw was missing the track listing and the vinyl was scuffed up and was £85

Also on my holidays so it was a treat. :smiley:

That should have read snag - unless of course you went in and started singing the songs which would have been much better Rob :grinning:
