North East, or South East? If you are anywhere near Letchworth, David's Music has a great selection of new and second hand vinyl.

Quite a bit away, London/Essex border. Guess I'm sure to find something when I start looking. Let's get my out deck and fixed up first, hopefully it hasn't warped, will find out tomorrow!

I nearly bought a copy of Wish You Were Here the other day. Not the fancy black version though.

I have an old copy of Dark Side Of The Moon that sounds absolutely incredible.

[thegremlin_1999]

Just bought myself this.

Adore Monster Magnet, their last album was absolutely killer and sounds so awesome on 180gm wax. It's worth it for the artwork alone to be honest...

Quite excited tbh...

Nal, did you work your way thru all the MM stuff?

Clued in headz might wanna head over to Piccadilly's site and pre-order one of the 1000 copies of Mezzanine that are about to drop.

I bought one off amazon two weeks ago. 2013 pressing.

[Amy Lawn]

I've long suspected my speakers are a bit shit, but I've just had to plug my headphones in to listen to Sharon Van Etten's Tramp LP because everybody else is sleeping. The most beautiful album of my lifetime has never sounded so beautiful, and my cans aren't that excellent in the grand scheme of things (pretty fucking good, but not brilliant). Methinks I'll be looking around for a great set of speakers to make me even more dirt poor than I already am.

Favourite album of all time, been wanting it on black for a while, thanks for the heads up!

See if you can track down a pair of Warfdale 9.1s. I don't think they make them any more, so you may have to try eBay.

Yeah thats what I have and they're as good low budget speakers as you'll get. 100 quid on Amazon.

[Amy Lawn]

Thanks! I'll check them out, I was considering buying something second hand, but £100 is very reasonable.

[windy_miller]

Get some stands too. I had mine on the floor for years, and the difference a pair of stands made is amazing.

These are the ones I have, but I only paid £60 for mine

What joys has Father Christmas brought to your turntables? I got Master by Teeth Of The Sea, We Were Exploding Anyway by 65daysofstatic, and the Joanna Gruesome/Perfect Pussy split 7"!

[thegremlin_1999]

Just the new Foos album for me.

[Amy Lawn]

I got the holy bible twentieth anniversary, nick cave's the firstborn is dead, j mascIs' new one, led Zeppelin III, goat's commune and two album's worth of vouchers.

Ohhhh the J Mascis' new one is very good indeed.

[Ipayne]

Was sat drooling over Frances the Mute and Deloused in the Comatorium vinyl by The Mars Volta today on Ebay but unfortunately they go for at least £100 each used now, absolutely kicking myself for not realising they reissued a limited number of Deloused copies earlier this year!

[Amy Lawn]

Treated myself to Have One On Me by Joanna Newsom today, tomorrow I'll be settling in to listen to all three discs in their 2+ hour glory.

[windy_miller]

Ohhhh the J Mascis' new one is very good indeed.

Yes it is, though not quite as good as the previous one.

[The Nal]

Couple of beauties bought for me/bought over Chrimbo.

Led Zeppelin 2

Let It Bleed

Your Funeral, My Trial

And a couple of comps that are just about to get a spin. Great metal one, a killer rock-a-billy compilation

And maybe the best of the lot....

And I'm praying Physical Graffiti is remastered and released this year!

[The Nal]

Have an original mono of Let it bleed. Sounds brilliant.

Bought your funeral last year. Didn't have you down as a Cave Nutter, Nal.

I'm not, my brother bought it for me with a direct order to really give it a go.

[The Nal]

Not sure that's the best starting point, but fair enough. It does sound amazing on vinyl and in my opinion i one of his best.

Just be wry of starting down that road. You've no doubt seen what it's done to Russy!!!

I know, Nick Cave seems to be have a sort of One Ring - Gollum effect!
