Having sorted out and got rid of most of my old vynal the other day, I am going to listen to (quietly) ozzy Osbourne/ randy Rhodes tribute, I bought this in Texas in the late 80's with my late sister , great memories .
I know most people now days download music, but who of you still buy Vinyl Albums as aposed to C.Ds.? It could be an age thing(late seventies) but I love Vinyl Records. There is more Frequency on Vinyl as opposed to suppressed music on a C.D. When I retired I treated
myself to a new Turntable which cost £1000 and Floor standing Speakers. So in my opinion you cannot beat Vinyl,still buy new Albums on Viny.

i do like vinyl, i have a few myself and some of my friends in my age group (30s) have been buying albums in that form since they were teenagers. i on the other hand have at first brought albums on tape then went on to cd purely because of price and convenience. i think I've only ever downloaded one song from the internet and that was rage against the machine to help get them to the christmas number 1 a few years back.
I'm using lockdown to get through all the Bob Dylan albums....sadly I'm up to 1973 'Dylan' which is a bit shite. I'm hoping that 'Planet Waves' will be an improvement.

“Dylan” was a revenge release by CBS because Bob had signed with Geffen’s Asylum label. It was made up of outtakes from “Self Portrait” and “New Morning” and Dylan has no involvement with it.
”Planet Waves” is a superb album with some fine songs, many of them personal such as Wedding Song, Dirge, Something There Is About You and Never Say Goodbye. It also features slow and fast versions of Forever Young, which was a good joke on vinyl but doesn’t work so well on CD.
This is the only proper studio album where Dylan is backed by The Band, who he was about to go on tour with for the first time since 1966. It was the only album of new Dylan songs released on Asylum (they also released the live LP of the joint Band tour “Before the Flood”) but Dylan was back on CBS for his next studio album “Blood on the Tracks.”
Both “Planet Waves” and “Before the Flood” were subsequently reissued by CBS.
As I said in my last post on this thread, been listening to talk talk a lot recently and thought I'd check out some covers. Nothing beats the original but this ain't half bad by another band I enjoy.
Terrific cover of a Kim Weston classic .. nice geetar work from ex Steely Dan man 'Skunk' Baxter (when asked about the nickname he said, I fart a lot')
Just discovered the late great Jimmy La Fave. If you like decent country, blues, folk stuff give him a try. Excellent album called Peace Train consisting of recordings made while he was suffering terminal cancer released posthumously is quite excellent. A good place to start in what is a pretty vast catalogue.
