Many thanks Big Swifty, first overseas Amazon purchase I have made for a couple of years. Don't think I have played a Sex Pistols record or CD for 25 years but am inspired after reading Clinton Heylin's "Anarchy In The Year Zero - The Sex Pistols, The Clash and the class of 76".

 

I have been tracking this one for awhile, I think it has dropped below $30

 

I recently watched the mini series 'Pistol' and have pulled out all my Sex Pistols stuff for listening. Amid all the drama, the bottom line for me is they were a great rock band.

 

There are some great docos on them as well.

One thing to watch out for, for those who care about dynamics, is that some of their more recent (ie last few decades) release have been very compressed.

When their first album came out it was one which 'pushed the needles to the red'. But this was before the loudness wars. Hard to believe, but the first CD of Never Mind ... had DR12 !!!

Not Amazon but for anyone who is in Sydney and still buys Mofi stuff Redeye seem to be bucking the price increase trend on other sites (I think discrepancy is up to $175 or something) and have decreased their price on the 2×45rpm titles to $119 which is the cheapest I have seen anywhere. I have the T.Rex that is listed here and it is excellent and stands up against my UK orig.

I paid $145 for my T-Rex…$120 is what they should be. Good to see reasonable prices for MOFI.

 

David Bowie Metrobolist (black vinyl) turned up today: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08HG8YFW6/

Ordered for $16 back in June. Sounds good and heavy.

 

Mine was $8 at Savers a couple of years ago

 

Heavy?!?!?

 

Sure, for a Bowie record. Heavy vinyl anyway

 

FRANK ZAPPA - 200 MOTEL OST. 50th ANNIVERSARY 6XCD

NINA SIMONE - PASTEL BLUES. ACOUSTIC SOUNDS AAA REISSUE

$50 From Amazon Au. I have been hoping this would drop in price it's normally up around $90-100. Universally praised issue, I know $50 ain't that cheap but this is less than it has ever sold for on discogs where it has gone for 3x this amount, 2 copies left.
