PierreB,

Is this the recent reissue? If so, how is the sound? DSOTM reviews on Amazon are pretty angry about the quality control and noise on this new reissue on vinyl

Hi Roscoeiii,
Yes it's the last reissue at 180gr from EMI and it's great. No surface noise except for 3 small pop on face 1. A must have if you like Pink Floyd.

Your Pumpkin candle holder is scaring me.

Are we sure that's what that is?

Given the proprietor - I'm personally suspecting it to be a giant Pumpkin Essence burner

Last album on my rig;

Probably my least fav DS album, but it hadn't been out for a while (probably 5 years) so worth a spin - still not too sold

Greetings Davey from a snowy and cold Spokane. While I'm not keen on side 2 and almost never play it, side 1 with Tunnel of Love, Romeo & Juliet and Skateaway is probably my favorite side of any DS album. I play that side at least twice as often as any other DS album. As a complete album, I like the first and Brothers in Arms.

Hi Laura,
That's actually a very good point.
I'm quite happy to play all the other DS albums all the way thru - this one I get bored with and it rarely stays on the deck to the very end.
Side one always gets played and it's during side two that it gets pulled.
So now I come to think of it I might be judging the whole album on side two.

Got to admit though,I expect albums to stand up as a whole and this one just doesn't quite make it for me.

Snow!

We've got pretty much the opposite over here.
October was the hottest ever (in fact we had the hottest day of the year in early October) and November's proving to be equal in comparative warmth.
The grass is still growing, leaves remain steadfast on the Oak trees at the bottom of our garden and even today we still have butterflies out and about - All quite strange.

Cheers
Dave

Robert Flack "First Take" 1969 Atlantic Records LP

Got the new Sigur Ros live set "Inni" this week. Sounds great!

No matter how i try i can't stop listening to Alice in Chains "Unplugged". Amazing dynamics, tight detailed bass. You can easily hear the characteristics of the pickups. I also think that one of the guitar's action was set too low and you can hear the fret buzz. Probably the quietest LP i've got.

The new release of Pink Floyds "wish you were here" is phenomenal. Very quiet except for an unfortunate scratch on side two that starts at the beginning of wish you were here and continues through to the beginning of shine on. Other than that it is amazing, especially wish you were (regardless of the pops at 10 second intervals) and welcome to the machine. I'm a sucker for a well recorded acoustic guitar and both of these tracks have them in spades. Hopefully my second copy will be perfect.

Smashing pumpkins "siamese dream" crushes the cd.

What else? New Ryan Adams is very good. Pulp (Different Class and This is Hardcore). Eddie Vedder "Into the Wild". Herbie Hancock. Patricia Barber "Mythologies".

Ron Wood ~ Gimme Some Neck

I took an immediate liking to this LP that I purchased this weekend. So I went to AllMusic Guide
to check out their rating as this album was unknown to me. AllMusic rated it 8 stars and a AMG
album pick..............Bill

I bought because I didn't have it and it was $1
I really like it. It has a good beat and you can really dance to it
