3 records you'd like Santa to bring you....

Placidcasual79 · December 2023

If Santa could bring you 3 records you'd like to unwrap this year what would you go for?

viz · December 2023

Duran Duran's Danse Macabre and New Model Army's new album.

And Dream Theater's new album. Slightly depends on it being released (or even written and recorded) by Christmas though.

Kew. Rhone.

Viva Boma

and Zarathustra

Philly_Q · December 2023

Triumph - Edge of Excess, the one with Phil X instead of Rik Emmett so the band now sort of pretend it doesn't exist, and it costs a fortune if you can find a copy.

Lucifer - Lucifer V, which is out in January I think.

Struggling to think of another right now.

hollywoodrox · December 2023

Hackney Diamonds - Rolling Stones
Surfing with the alien Picture disc - Joe Satriani (to replace one I gave away )
A Steve Vai Passion & Warfare Gold Disc award I think issued by ASCAP or BPI

ICBM · December 2023

Natalie Merchant - Keep Your Courage
Duran Duran - Danse Macabre
Neil Young - Before And After

mudslide73 · December 2023

A nice early pressing of Led Zeppelin III
XTCs English Settlement (I'm grabbing their stuff when I see it).
Supergrass's In It For The Money.

Offset · December 2023

Crazy Horse by Crazy Horse
Lightbringer by Rival Sons
Darkfighter by Rival Sons

I've never listened to Rival Sons - for some reason I got therm confused with those America pop punk bands that came out in the mid 10's......haven't they realised an album in the last couple of months? I remember recently reading a review that made out they were a more 'traditional' rock band?

Are those two records they have put out recently? the names suggest they are related?

Both released this year. I just haven't caught up with them yet. They're a great band.

I've been on a roll recently, bought about 25 albums in the last two or three months, which has become unusual for me.

I was looking at the Dance Craze box set in a nice little independent record store near me in Chester, Up North records ...... it's evidently lovingly created - it would be lovely to own. Do you enjoy vinyl @EricTheWeary ?

Bork · December 2023

Showaddywaddy's Greatest Hits
Sky 1
Barbara Streisand (+Barry Gibb) - Guilty.

Funkfingers · December 2023

Townshend/Lane - Rough Mix (2006 Deluxe Edition)
Vivian Stanshall - Dog Howl In Tune
Vivian Stanshall - Rawlinson's End*

* Not to be confused with the original Sir Henry At Rawlinson End album.

No, I don't even have anything to play them on anymore. I quite gleefully went over to CD, less so to MP3 and 99% of the time if I want to hear something I will stream it. But I have a lot of 2Tone stuff on CD although not Dance Craze. The remastered film is on Blu-ray/DVD and I don't have a DVD player either so hopefully it pops up on Netflix or something.

5 points to anyone who has even heard of these three artists:

Cyan - Pictures From The Other Side

Come new year I will be buying the new Francis Dunnery/It bites album

mikeyrob73 · December 2023

Smashing Pumpkins - Melancholy and infinite sadness

I've heard of Peter Jones the actor, Peter Jones the sports commentator and Peter Jones the shop. Is it any of those?

Yes - I am the same. Still years later I have\t uploaded all my CD's. I haven't subscribed to a streaming service. But probably should.

I've thought about jumping to vinyl - under the probably false assumption - that I'd spend more time actually sitting and listening to music on headphones. It probably wouldn't happen and it'd be expensive and time consuming making the change. I have a friend in Leeds whose looking to start a business rescuing and repairing those huge old units from the 50's, 60's and 70's - they are the size of a side board - and have sliding doors concealing turntables and speakers..... I think they have a name but I cant remember.......
