XTC -mummer, edgar broughton band - sing brother sing, and a spare copy of talking heads - fear of music

£2 each and all look in decent condition... the EBB looks mint for a 1970 album

Just got Rush - Moving Pictures for a quid. I am always looking for used vinyl on Ebay but I wont pay more that a quid plus postage. That is my rule. Times are financially hard but I still need to feed my habit for new sounds. I have not had any real issues or problems with any that I have bought yet. The gradings are usually accurate enough. What some of the sellers don't realise is that old vinyl usually cleans up pretty well. If I get a real dog, then I have only wasted a quid. Let us not forget the hardware is only there to provide access to the music. Music is the Best.

Car Boots is where its at.

I picked this up out of pure curiosity today, but cant find any info on it or the artist. anyone got any ideas? appears t be 60's psych rock, and i think its from singapore.

[Rob998]

Singaporean Psych Rock? Bloody hell, and I thought The Fall & Clock DVA were esoteric!

Any good?

Search for Huang Li and The Saints.

She's still singing apparently!

Bought a bunch of vinyl from the antique store, but the idiots put their labels on the covers using scotch tape. I tried to peel it off carefully and ripped Peter Gabriel's face. It made me sad and angry.

Any advice for getting this crap off? I did a search of the forum, but didn't find anything.

[youngdand]

Thanks for that.

Its actualy not too bad, your usual 60's folk / psych sort of vibe to it, without being abl to understand the message being put across, although i am sure it is probably an over riding theme of peace.

Stumbled across a blog devoted to 60's hippy stuff in singapore, must have been all the americans that were posted htere after during / after the war.

Boomtown Rats: The Fine Art of Surfacing- Better than I thought it would be. I enjoy Bob G.
Mellencamp, John "Cougar": Uh-Huh
Toto: Toto IV
Police:Synchronicity
Depeche Mode: Some Great Reward
Jones, Etta and Jonah: Jonah Jones Swings--Etta Jones Sings
Ultravox!: Ha! Ha! Ha!- Never heard of them. Was looking for some early punk, and I think I found it. Enjoying the album very much.
Bobs: Songs for Tomorrow Morning
Gabriel: So
Fabulous Poodles: Mirror Stars- This might be one of the greatest albums ever.

Most of the records are um... overly popular, I guess. I bought the Etta Jones one because I thought I read about her in a magazine, but it wasn't her.

Did it have the free 7" single with it by any chance?

The first three Ultravox albums, the Island ones with John Foxx, Ultravox, Ha Ha Ha and Systems Of Romance are all pretty much essential and well worth tracking down, all are far superior to the "Midge Ure era".

Went rekkid shopping on Friday and picked up mint copies of the first two Rose Tattoo albums, a very good, clean copy of Judas Priest's Unleashed In The East (bought mainly because of the hilarious merch/tour flyer that came with it) and The Dogs D'Amour's Graveyard Of Empty Bottles.

What 7" single is that?

Funny you should mention that about Ultavox. My daughter (13) and I listened to the whole album. I was reading about it online, and people said the last track:

"Money from the first album was used to improve the band's equipment, and funded the purchase of an ARP Odyssey and, most notably, a Roland TR-77 drum machine, which appeared on the album's final track, "Hiroshima Mon Amour". This song was the most indicative of the group's later synth-pop direction, and remains both a fan and critical favourite.[3][4] "

And both my daughter and I disliked that track the most out of any of the tracks on the album. Go figure.

Thanks for the tips on the other titles. I will look out for those. Is there an "if you like this band, you'll like this band" thread on here?

Also... you know what I need? A 911 call to someone who knows his sh*t, so when I am browsing I can say, "Hey, should I get this?"

Thanks!

Another fun one I bought is an Audiophile collection of old rock n' roll songs made in 1980. It's by Shulman, I think is the producer. It has a version of Louie Louie on it where I can actually tell what he is singing for the most part. It's so crisp and clear. The album touts the weight of the vinyl and the equipment used to press the record along with lots of other technical data about the remix.

Initial pressings came with a 7" single Quirks/Modern Love, its quite difficult to track one down these days.
