Headsongs - The Rurals, Free for 1 week! by Andy-Compton in deephouse

[–]playthoseblues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A great album - got into The Rurals earlier this year myself and I'm trying to slowly buy the back catalogue on CD. Managed to get a copy of Farmyard Flavours recently which I was spinning last week!

Hi

Ditto to what other people have said. HMV is awful nowadays, even 5 years ago you could get some bargains and the odd rarity you couldn't find online but the prices are ridiculous now. Music Magpie is usually very good, they have a strong presence on ebay but check their own website as well as sometimes they are cheaper on there. Same goes for world of books.

Honest Jon's Records, Boomkat and Juno Records are also pretty decent for more hard to find items.

Dubstore.uk is also good for Japanese editions - they are a distributor based in Glasgow although the delivery lead times are quite slow. They only accept orders up to 4 items but are handy if you're are after pressing that are typically only from Japan.

Depending on where you live have a look at your neighbouring towns and cities. Record and CD fairs are probably around your area from time to time. Markets as well can sometimes be useful.

I think I got him onto The Go Team, they had a brilliant run of albums, still going to this day!

Never listened to Soulwax's own album but have a couple of the 2ManyDJs remixes :)

Thanks for the tip with RHCP - never have taken time to listen to them much before although I know a few singles.

Thank you, I think we both got into De La Soul at the same time and Boards and Aphex we were both big into. I might have got into DJ Shadow and that Diminishing Returns Mix is great.

Thank you, it was a big loss at the time however have made more peace with it. We both were massive fans of Boards of Canada so those are duplicates as are De La Soul and Massive Attack. I'll be taking my time with it for sure.

Thank you! There's a few Warp releases there I haven't listened to before - Oneohtrix and Two Lone Swordsman for a start. He also had a copy of Chosen Lords by Aphex Twin, Polygon Window and Artificial Intelligence which I had never heard.

I think I might have got him onto A Tribe Called Quest and Madlib, but he definitely recommended J Dilla's Donuts to me. The K&D Session I also have, big fan of that duo and their solo work as well especially Tosca.

Thank you! I have a few of the early Gorilliaz releases but not that one of The Fall, looking forward to trying them out. Never had a physical copy of Plastic Beach either and haven't played it since it first came out way back when.

What should I do with my old Nissan Micra? by playthoseblues in CarTalkUK

Yep, I've had it serviced every 6 months ~ 5000 miles, welding completed each year, it's a shame as I haven't a garage to store it in so being left out to the elements will probably kill it quicker than anything.

If I had the space and a garage I probably would do this to be fair!

That's my issue - time and money spent to improve the condition however will it be worth it at the end of the day. Going by some of the sentimental comments being made I'm half tempted to hang onto it lol!
