Good deals on Amazon.co.uk--updated regularly (Part Three)

Agreed - I broke about a week in. Did it in style with a couple of Mofis!

 

Bought. I'm moving house so I might have to hide this one from the Mrs as I promised not to buy any new records till we had moved....oh well

 

I probably should check stuff before buying....that Sam Cooke is a double for 13 quid?!!

Bargain.

 

Arriving tomorrow - please be flat!

 

Yeah it's a double, perfect housewarming music if you ask me

 

12.96 now.

 

Sam Cooke spinning now, just finished LP1 side 2. I really like it so far, no issues with the pressing beyond some dirt, both records flat and stuff. The sound is a bit uneven between the songs, which can be expected from a compilation with material from this periods. The quality is also a bit up and down IMO, but much more up than down. There's a really strong stretch at the end of side 2 with Good Times, Shake, Yeah Man; no way to sit down during that spell!

Not the best sound ever overall, but a very enjoyable release, even more so at~£14! Thanks again @Arknine

Re-mastering by: Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London

At the pimply age of 15, Surrey-born Anthony "Top" Topham stepped onto stage in May 1963 at the Eel Pie Island Club in Twickenham with his new blues-wailing band - THE YARDBIRDS. A few months later he was replaced with ERIC CLAPTON and after that a certain JEFF BECK and JIMMY PAGE also joined that volatile crew. When you consider what a staggering influence CREAM, BECK and LED ZEPPELIN have had on everything in rock then and now - it's a damn shame that Top Topham got musically lost in the mix somehow and has never been given the catalyst credit he so deserves.

Top Topham

Ascension Heights - Pure Pleasure Blue Horizon 7-63857 (180g vinyl)

This LP’s rarity value alone commands attention: Topham was the Yardbirds’ founder guitarist, who had to leave the band because he was only 15. By 1969, at the age of 22, he delivered this solo LP, a long-forgotten take on the blues, far removed from the Yardbirds. Despite its Blue Horizon pedigree, it’s not of the Brit Blues school per se and is a stylistic mish-mash, more akin to Andrew Loog Oldham’s covers of the Stones’ canon, but its worth to Yardbirds hard-core is unparalleled. If you could find a mint original, you’d have to part with £100+. After Topham’s parents made him leave, he was replaced by one Eric Clapton. The rest, as they say…

 

Sam Cooke has landed! Flat as well! It sounds pretty decent - thanks again 'alerter'!

 

Marc Almond racked up this morning...in a mailer...completely straight...now there's a novelty!

 

Winner!

 

not sure if this qualifies as a bargain (as such)
dunno if it sold out
or if it is out of print and due to be repressed ...
or if Amazon can even fulfill the order

That was one of Hoffys.

 

I ordered one. Let’s see if it arrives….
I have x 3 of the AP 45rpm Nat King Coles and they are glorious (All SH I believe)

 

I've got the SACDs of this and the other titles Hoffy did and they do sound superb. I'm sure the vinyl will sound amazing too.

 

Can' believe this price:

nb notes in comments advise white vinyl is actually stereo…

 

It is.

 

You can or you can't?

 

Reviews suggest it's mono.

 

FWIW, discogs seems a bit confused, maybe a narrow stereo?
