Another haul brought today at another fair
Not a bad day, sometimes its hard to resist

Lee,

where are these record fairs? I'm green with envy. The only record fair we have in Spokane is the annual public radio station record sale in Feb.

My latest DISCOGS order arrived today - this is the best yet

Katrina And The Waves - Katrina And The Waves

Jefferson Starship - Red Octopus

Renaissance - Live At Carnegie Hall

Nice, The - The Best Of The Nice

Santana - Festivál

Santana - Lotus

Rory Gallagher - Rory Gallagher

Annie Haslam - Annie In Wonderland

Hawkwind - Space Ritual

A number of these selections have been heavily influenced by the Vinyl Circle crew who regularly post here and the "Listened to recently" thread - Thanks

Santana's triple live Lotus, Hawkwinds double live Space Ritual and (believe it or not) Katrina and the Waves, have all been long languishing in my "Wanted List"

All but one appear to be New and Unplayed, the Nice album is played but in superb condition.

A very, very Happy Camper here and lots of nice new vinyl to spin over the festive holidays.

Can I sign off this post by wishing all a very Happy Christmas with lots of spinning in 2012.

Cheers
Dave

Hi Lee - I try and get to the Vinyl Bank Fairs when possible
We've probably rubbed shoulders in the bins in the past

Annie Haslam is the lead singer in Renaissance. It's obvious but I only mention it "just in case." only last year did I find out that the lead singer in Gruppo Sportivo is the same gal in Deaf School, two of my 70s pop faves.

Annie In Wonderland is great, but what else would you expect from a Roy Wood fanatic? It's like a great lost Move album with the wonderful Haslam voice. They were going out at the time. She was on BBC radio talking about how her experiences with Roy lead her to multitrack her voice on a Renaissance album.

Forgotten gem. Of course my daughter has a copy. Surprisingly I see it fairly regularly in the record shops and record fairs here.

Hi Paul - Yes the Roy Wood influences are quite obvious - An all round nice little package.

Le Tigre is what arose from the ashes of Bikini Kill, the "grrl" movement in the 90's. Saw them at the Alley Cat in Washington a few years ago. Techno-pop, maybe TKO is on you tube.

They are overtly gay, they headlined with Lesbians on Ecstasy. Fun concert but I did look a tad out of place, and not just because of my advanced years! Reminded me of the time I had an espresso at Sappho, a cafe in Amsterdam, and eventually realized that I was the only guy in the place...

This Island from 2004 is a great little record.

Gave my oldest daughter my well-worn American copy. This one is the 180 gm reissue that just came out, packaging is great. Sound maybe not so great. I like my 1979 MoFi a bit better in a Side1 to Side1 face off. I'll look for a British copy in London this summer...

Paul

Inspired by pumpkinman, I listened to this Canadian import today...bought it a while ago and never posted. Anyway, check out that funky A&M poly sleeve!

Probably not the best place to start collecting Gong but the opportunity came up. It's pretty good, a little jazzy, a little Roxy Music sounding, even Gentle Giant. Produced by Nick Mason...

Harry Pearson really slammed its sound quality in the latest issue of The Absolute Sound. Does your copy have a lot of surface noise? A lot of reviews on Amazon complain about surface noise. I have an orginal EMI pressing, the MoFi and the 30th Anniversary. I think the MoFi sounds the best. I bought the new remastered vinyl of Wish You Were Here and it sounds terrific.
