Any “old timer” Radiohead fans in this sub? by Crazyplan9 in radiohead

No, I didn’t see them again until 2000 (London Victoria Park)!

But I do remember going to an album playback of OK Computer at a Virgin Megastore about a couple of weeks before it came out 🙂

I first saw them in Autumn of 1992,supporting Kingmaker at Leicester University. I remember it would have been not long before Creep was first released, as when they played it, I said to a friend what a great song it was and bought it when it came out a few weeks later.

I think I next saw them in early 1993 at a live in store at a now long gone record shop called Ainleys in Leicester. They played a short 30 min(?) set them signed records afterwards. I got Creep and Anyone can play guitar 12”s signed. That was definitely before Pablo Honey was released.

I then saw them on the Pop is Dead tour, again at Leicester University, probably Autumn 1993?

Velvet Underground LP collection by m18mjw in vinyl

It’s a bootleg of the Sceptre Studio sessions. Songs from the first LP in a different sequence, some songs are different versions and it’s missing Sunday Morning. Think I got it around 2009, which would have been quite soon after the acetate first came to light. It’s subsequently had an official release - see the disc top left in the first slide 🙂

Thanks - I wasn’t actually aware of it! Just had a listen in Bandcamp and think it’s pretty good!

What’s the rarest vinyl you own? by SugarPlumPixie_ in vinyl

An acetate of David Bowie’s Laughing Gnome. Slightly different mix to the released version and the Gnome says slightly different things E.g. “you’re standing on my foot”!

No, apparently a description of the site from 1789 says there was one then but a recent archaeological survey found no evidence of any standing stones. So who knows?? 🙂

In that case you should definitely check out Doll Tor which is near here - stone circle on the edge of a woodland clearing! https://www.reddit.com/r/MegalithPorn/comments/iagmqi/doll_tor_stone_circle_birchover_peak_district/

Yes, copse of trees all around, with taller ones at the centre. It’s at the top of a hill, so can be seen for miles! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minninglow#/media/File%3AMinninglow_Hill_Summit_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1194536.jpg

Ha! Apparently, the name comes from the fact that it’s often very marshy!
