It's really difficult to leave a Floyd, Zeppelin, Dylan, (insert your fave classic artist etc.) cd when they're only going for 20p[/QUOTE] But conversely there are usually a shed load of albums that the shop would have to pay me a fair amount to take away.
Badlands - Badlands Badlands - Voodoo Highway Thought these were interesting, but a tad expensive. Checked Discogs to see whether £3.50 was a good price. Turns out the median selling price was £73 and £60! So I grabbed them. And here's the other CDs I bought, most three for a pound. And finally some 50p vinyl.
Nice bit of synchronicity there, with a Bobby Womack comp and the Gorillaz CD that he so memorably featured on. EG.
Lol - just read the notes on the back of the "Electronic" CD - Remastered in November 1993 - that's about 2 years after it was originally released - madness The emperors new clothes in a 2 year period. The music business
I popped into a couple the other day, both only had small cd sections, one was the usual rubbish but the other had stuff that surprised me, stuff like Cradle Of Filth and Korn is what I recall, not what is usually seen. There was also a Kitaro CD I would have bought but when I opened it up for a look the disc was missing.
That'll be during the time Factory went bankrupt? 1991 version on Factory, 1993 version on Parlophone?
those are good songs, but the songs on RD are by bands that I don't really care to explore further so the OST is enough.
Yeah but remastering it ? Unless Factory burnt all the previous versions in a throw-it-out-of-the-window screw you session
been a pretty dry spell of late. however, the last couple of weeks i have picked these up for £5 d-Bridge - Fabriclive 50 Afrocelt Soundsystem - Volume 3 : Further In Time The Buddy Rich Band - Very Alive At Ronnie Scotts (2cd) Dope Dragon - Wayz Of The Dragon Black Grass - A Hundred Days in One Dido - Life For Rent Michael Franti/Spearhead - Everyone Deserves Music most chuffed about : the d-Bridge Fabriclive mixtape. i expected the usual kind of d-n-b stuff, but no, this mix takes a very different path. all the tracks are exclusive, made to order, and are downtempo styled bass music. perfect sunday evening soundtrack. one of the best fabric mixes i have heard. also, 'dope dragon' : saw the cover and remembered seeing it years ago here and there. looked closely at the chaotic artwork, and saw the 'full cycle' logo. took a chance, and boom, turns out it's roni size and krust (and a couple of others) in alter ego mode. billed as a compilation, but it's basically them working in old school sci-fi d-n-b/jungle. loving it. as for the rest - well, you can't go wrong with buddy rich, the michael franti/spearhead is a mellow summers day spin, and i have always wanted to hear some afrocelt soundsystem stuff due to their name, and yeah, the clues all there - a 'real world' release via some extra levels of production/electronica. not too bad all in all.
The vinyl version of "Wayz Of The Dragon" comes with a comic book illustrated by Nick Walker if you like that sort of thing, personally I don't really rate him. Dope Dragon was a sub-label of Full Cycle, though I'm not sure of the ins and outs of why it ended, can't believe I didn't ask at the time. If only they'd got Banksy instead of Nick Walker.
amazingly, the cd edition is cardboard (a la mo'wax cd editions), with a small comic inside. its all in perfect condition. so, yeah, was quite chuffed when i realised what i had picked up.
I had a spare unplayed copy of the vinyl for at least twenty years, I think I finally traded it in, but who knows, Nick Walker's art was fetching money at one time, I sold some prints for a friend, never helped "Wayz Of The Dragon" take off though, unfortunately.
to be fair, i have never heard of nick walker before this. and the comic with the cd edition is so small, and the txt so scrappy, it's impossible to actually read it.
It was a Miles Davis kinda day yesterday. Needless to say I'm very, very pleased with what I bought. The bottom cd was probably the find of the day though. It's the most recent Godspeed You! Black Emperor album for a mere £1.50.
