This just turned up from Discrepancy Records - however it’s a Christmas present from my wife so no spinning allowed 

 

 

I hope it was packed with care at that price

Saw  PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS (PGS x 7) last night supporting the (always amazing) The Mark of Cain and came away impressed, so much so I grabbed one of their albums from the merch stand to show my support.

Hi Hector,
A few years ago now since I had the Quintet Black S. But what I recall when I went from the 2M Black before it was little drop in bass heft (which at the time was a blessing in disguise as the room was little more of challenge than it currently is). But that was the only "downside" - everything else - airyness, detail, dimension and depth, was sublime.

A great place to begin one's moving coil journey!

Do watches count ? OK I'll get my coat.

Arrived this week

Violent Soho - Hungry Ghost 

10 Year Anniversary Release

[stevoz]

Last night on Discogs, Steve Wilson "The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)", brand new 2023 reissue, 2 x LP Euro pressing (not sure where, Discogs doesn't confirm but research of other recent 'Snapper Music' Euro pressings suggests Optimal, Germany).

 

[gasman1003]

Arrived yesterday:

 

 

Snow Ghosts - The Fell.

Houndstooth Records, UK, 2023.

 

A band I had not heard before. The album was described in one review as, "A collection of old folk songs that were never written", and the music is just my cup of tea.

 

 

 

Snow Ghosts - "Buried".

Jack Johnson – Meet The Moonlight - @JB hifi 20% off.

 

[stevoz]

Just now via Ebay (for a change)

 

The Cure "Seventeen Seconds" 2016 Euro (GZ) repress.....to replace my 'bought when released' but now hazed original copy. Love this album.....but probably love 'Boys Don't Cry' more (which a female housemate in a late 70's sharehouse had.....boy did we give that album a fair thrashing back then!)....but found on both Discogs and Ebay that that LP is going for absolutely crazy money.....why FFS? So this, at a much more affordable price, will do very nicely for now. We'll work on 'BDC' at a later date.....

Just now via Discogs:

 

Yes "Time And A Word" 2018 RSD Limited Edition (4000 copies) reissue, NM German pressing (Optimal).

 

 

A bit of research shows that the cover used on this late reissue is the same as the Canadian release of Yes's self titled  debut album.
