Carful using amazon for vinyl. My experience with them was most unpleasant. they are very good at listing records, you order them, and 3 months later tell you they can't get them :mad: Also the ones that do arrive were in very poor condition, dirty dusty vinyl and damaged sleeves. Used...

Same characters as well and the film will make even more sense as the series is a precursor to it. Check out play.com, I got it for £15.99 in their sale not so long ago.

I saw this last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. Get the DVD release of Firefly - the tv series, really excellent viewing the best sci-fi tv series in ages. May already know this but it is well worth getting hold off if you enjoyed the film.

I saw this lot at the Riga in Southend which was near the start of tour. I have to admit I got bored during Otway but Wilko and the Hamsters were great. The end of the gig when all three got up and did their stuff together was excellent. Wilko is great live and anyone who enjoys good...

The Shostakovich is excellent and should be high on your list.

I have the Daphnis Et Chloe disc and the sacd layer is exceptional. Really shows what is possible with this format - and also with a near 50 year old recording. Although some of the Channel classics discs on sacd, and BIS too, are also excellent.

Jonathan - not 100% sure of the exact dates but all The Clash albums were remastered and rereleased on CD around 1999/2000 with the original artwork and packaging. At around this time Simply Vinyl released all The Clash albums on vinyl- they were not directly done by CBS (Sony) - just...

I have the album on vinyl from the original release and find it sounds better than the cd version - but only just. I have a few of Classics 200gm releases and have found them a little variable - some of them sound a little soft and dynamically not as good as some of their 180gm pressings -...

Classical music struggles due to the fact the major shops/labels no longer appear to take it seriously. When was the last time you went into a major record store, excepting the major ones in the big cities, and saw them promoting classical music outside the Charlotte Churchs, three tenors...

Another recommendation for Nanci Griffith and Alison Krauss. Also Emmylou Harris is another excellent female artist to try. Since I own all the Johnny Cash American recordings, these in my view are essential and if you can hunt around for the Unearthed box set - it appears on sale in a few...

Never the best singer in the world but I thought the songs themselves weren't too bad. Damn sight better than having to listen to the Beautiful South trying to do cover versions - now that was painful.

Blimey that's made my afternoon that. Seeing a thread on a hi-fi forum (albeit in the music section) mention such wonderful albums from my teenage years. I've also got Dog Show by the God Bullies as well as the Halo of flies debut - on vinyl as well - I didn't even have a record player at...

I have a couple of the reissues from the late 90's - when I bought quite a lot of Impulse as I was just getting into Coltrane - and the vinyl reissues were very disappointing. The gatefolds are very nice Ellington/Coltrane, More Blues and the Abstract Truth but In each case I prefer the cd...
