Wow you are so lucky to have been able to snaffle two copies of the Black Sabbath, I missed out on this one as I was not quick enough (and thought Warners Australia would get it but they did not - label licensing issues I found out later). I am hoping it will get a reissue as this is one album I do not own at all. I think Rhino were shocked how quickly it sold out. Enjoy and happy spinning  (it has got great reviews this one)

Just now on Discogs.....put in offers for both which were accepted w/no added postage for the second (way cheaper) LP.

 

Genesis "Seconds Out" NM German repress 2 x LP. My second post Gabriel Genesis album.....live with of course many Gabriel era songs with Collins doing a fine vocal job.

 

 

Joan Armatrading "Secret Secrets" NM Dutch 1st pressing (for 3 euro's!)....and my 12th Joan A LP.

 

I have an original NM 'Seconds Out' I bought way back Good buying

I have a reasonably recent reissue and it sounds horrible

I would love to get my hands on that one

Rendezvous to Dutch records, as working nearby and two of the highly regarded Atlantic 75 45 remasters - The Yes Album and 90125 .

So far two sides of the Yes Album, and much better than my formerly impressive Japanese pressing!

Yeah, I had a giggle too....but even more on youtube where clips from the album have the same graphic and come with an 'age restricted' warning.....and I'm thinking 'why, because the bird has boobs?! Seriously?!'

That is even funnier - is this back in the day when they used to have Pix People magazines in the newsagents & The Sun Page 3 girls?  

 

Indeed you are right, here is the Aussie 1971 pressing

Wow, April - and I thought it was only the good o'l hyper-religious mid-Americans who would've done that sort of thing back then.  

 

Particularly as I've just seen the amazing "Rennie Ellis" exhibition at the Vic State library - which shows his pics of the 70s & 80s ... with lots of flesh showing ... and coverage of the 'Pride' marches, then (amongst lots of other things).

Hmmm...I must get to the Rennie Ellis thing, thanks for the reminder!

I bought  new ruler.

Just now via Discogs: "Best Of Cream" NM German reissue (PRS Hannover). I have fond memories of my big sister playing her copy of this (different Oz cover though) when I was in primary school!! Some fine songs here!

Badge

Crossroads

White Room

SWLABR

Born Under A Bad Sign

Spoonful (Studio Version)

Tales Of Brave Ulysses

......and at a great price.....but then it was below the 'minimum spend'.....so  added this to get it done:

 

Roger Hodgson "Hai Hai" NM Greek 1st pressing.

 

[stevoz]

Came home via the local 'vintage bazaar' and picked up these at a very reasonable price.

 

Renee Geyer "Blues License" w/Kevin Borich Express, Oz 1st pressing....and may I say, Renee looks stunning on this cover.

 

 

Mike Oldfield "Discovery" Oz 1st pressing....lacquer cut by Tony Taurins.

I bought this a while back played it for the first time today. Not a bad MOFI pressing. Will you still need me when I’m 64?

I’m sure I will. Not bad for a LP released 57 years ago.

Not the MOFI, the original.

[xtiva2000]

Couple of  new LP arrived 

 

 

[stevoz]

Finally! I've had this in my Discogs cart for weeks now but other purchases got in the way.....but now it's done!

 

Jethro Tull "Benefit" 2013 remastered (DMM) reissue, the Steven Wilson Stereo Remix, German pressing (Optimal), brand new.

 

[gasman1003]

 

The Unattached - Requiem For Dead Dogs

 

#43.

 

Incredible album, despite the somewhat sad subject matter.

[gasman1003]

Off-Topic, as my elder son sent me this as a gift.

 

 

Yard Act - Where's My Utopia?

[stevoz]

Just now on Discogs, an LP bundle from a trusted and great value Swedish seller that I have multiple purchased from before.

Six NM LP's (incl: 1 double LP) for a tad over $90, great value indeed.

 

Alan Parsons Project "The Best Of The Alan Parsons Project" NM German 1st pressing (Sonopress).

 

 

Eurythmics ‎"Revenge" NM German 1st pressing, also Sonopress.

 

 

The Moody Blues ‎"This Is The Moody Blues" 2 x LP, NM UK 1st pressing.

 

 

The Motels "Little Robbers" NM German 1st pressing.

 

 

Mental As Anything ‎"Fundamental" NM Dutch 1st pressing.

 

 

Al Stewart ‎"Year Of The Cat" NM German reissue (Teldec Press).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[stevoz]

Just checked Discogs for copies of this and found this recently listed bargain.....plus I think the Euro has weakened against our dollar because most prices for it seemed a bit cheaper than when I last looked and left disappointed.

 

Simply Red "Stars" NM German 1st pressing (Warner Alsdorf).

 

[Rockfish]

Just arrived from Acoustic Sounds - sounds great as expected except LP number one is more warped than Alice Cooper and has seam splits top AND bottom.  It will be interesting to see what Acoustic Sounds has to say.
