Heads-up for anyone not on the mailing list: it’s Bandcamp Friday today - bands get the whole price, Bandcamp waive their fees.

First vinyl I’ve bought in a while…

[Stevieg]

Stocking up from Mudshark in Bangor before the Big Wind.

[Stevieg]

Possibly my only 2024 new release purchase this year. Took forever to arrive, probably for Taylor Swift (whom I have never knowingly heard) product hogging the vinyl food chain. Thought there was a good chance of it being an entirely analogue production, so splashed on the record. My release of the year by default?

Gillian Welch/David Rawlings

It’s a great lp. Hot recording that will tell you where you are with your cartridge set up to get best results in my experience. Once that is dialed in it soars.

[Stevieg]

Yes it is a hot recording, mostly close miked, he opined ignorantly. I didn’t flinch so cartridge set up of my elderly AT OC9 iii must be reasonable. The long term good thing about microline styli is that once the enormous amount of setting up faff is done they seem to stay in tune.
