Shockingly good things from bands you didn't oughta like

[Uncle Ants]

Chris, the Neil Diamond album gratefully received

Very nice. "I am ... I Said" still makes me want get up and "Air Sing". Nice to see there's a version of "If You Go Away" on it - not quite as good as the astonishing version Dusty Springfield did on Where Am I going, but a goody. Will sit down and have a good listen a bit later.

Cheers Matey.

No worries - glad you like it. I may bug you in a few days for assistance in setting up a Spacearm, if I can't work it out and if it's okay with you.

Hey Chris - have you joined the NAS Mafia then? Cool

I've had a Spacedeck since 2004, which was fitted with my Syrinx PU3 from new, but I've just ordered a new Spacearm and associated mounting gear as I had some money burning a hole in my pocket and fancied trying a uni-pivot - can't wait.

I think you'll like it Now why did I think you had an LP12?

Now why did I think you had an LP12?

I did, and still do, although it has been sitting in it's box since the Spacedeck arrived. I will, at some point, get around to selling what's left of it (I've already sold the Lingo), or I might build a DIY geddon for it and re-mount the Syrinx to use in my upstairs system. Time, inclination and funds permitting, that is.

The Bee Gees - their first LP before they went all disco on us.

 

[Goomer]

Do you mean the one with the 'New York Mining Disaster 1941' on it? A classic.

 

[Fen Dancer]

Yup, that's the one. A nice melody about people suffocating in a coal mine.
There's other good songs on there as well.

My own Bee Gees favourite would have to be 'Cucumber Castle', mainly for the sleeve images(particularly impressive on the vinyl gatefold). 'Life In A Tin Can' would be a close second.

Nice sleeve tell me though who are those other fellers on the sleeve? - not more brothers Gibb surely
