Sorry but imo you just can't beat the old black wax 45" discs. As a kid I loved watching the turntable spinning!
How Adele helped vinyl turn the tables: Sales of vinyl records up 500% in just three years Sales of vinyl records have soared by a staggering 500 per cent in just three years as a return to buying physical music captured the imagination of the public. Support from music chain HMV and online music marketplace Discogs bolstered sales of vinyl records, which reached 2.1million copies last year. Sales of record players have also soared with HMV reporting that it sold one every minute over the Christmas sales period. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/...Sales-vinyl-records-500-just-three-years.html Also I wrote on this thread last year about the 1210 turntables being discontinued, well the 1200's are back again! 6 Years After Being Discontinued, the Technics SL-1200 Turntable Is Back please log in to view this image
Here are the best of the bands that have hailed from my fair city, from Freakbeat to Blues Rock and ethereal Dream Pop to Third Wave Ska...I can only apologize for Craig David though!...
You know you're doing something right with your childs music education when they come home from school and say....This is a TUNE....... None of that X Factor stuff in our house (sorry if you like that stuff!!)
Steelmonky, I have another MP3 challenge for you whenever you get a chance. This used to be on youtube but the Hendrix estate have blocked most the original recording, must be getting low on £$£? Anyway some info and the song is called "Hear My Train A Comin" please log in to view this image , lost Live at the Fillmore East is a posthumous live album by Jimi Hendrixreleased on February 23, 1999. The album documents Hendrix's performances with the Band of Gypsys at the Fillmore East on December 31, 1969 and January 1, 1970. It is drawn from the same performances as, and can be seen as an extended complement to, the Band of Gypsys album, consisting mostly of songs not on the original album. Again I had this on CD (remember them..?) but like most CD's I must have scratched it, lost it or gave it to my local Oxfam shop. I'm so glad CD's are a dead format now, I never liked them tbh. I still have my small record collection.
I have noticed there being a very healthy amount of good new and original music coming out! Also lot's of today's youth shunning the manufactured and mass produced white noise crap!
I'm away from home til the weekend, but might have a copy of that. I've got about 2000 CDs and about 500 Vinyl, don't own a CD player, and have a turntable either in the loft or in my basement! Wouldn't want to start counting downloads, but I'be got a 1TB drive rammed full of stuff. I stream most of it now, with a few albums and playlists on a USB stick in the car. I'll get the track over to you at the weekend (does it have to be that exact version?)
