And a re-release of 1977’s 3D EP.
Ordered.
I have the previous surround sound release, along with loads of unreleased tracks, videos etc
Me too and I promised myself a few months ago that I would NOT be buying any more Atmos releases with the exception of Welcome To The Pleasuredome (which is apparently done by SW and waiting for release) and then this pops up. I have no self-control.
But the 180g Obi strip!
I don’t even know what an atmos-a-doodle doo release is. But I doodle do have about six versions of this album so I think I’m pretty unlikely to miss anything worthwhile.
Unless live crickets and a bumble bee literally flies out the speakers on the opening track then I shall not be buying YET another version of Skylarking.
On the legendary reverse polarity release, the crickets and bumble bee literally fly into the speakers
Please don’t tell me young people are lumping on vinlys.
Saw two Blur CDs from the ho-hum in the chazzer today for 50p each; presumably the ‘new’ vinlys equivalent, of which there would bound to be fresh versions, would now be £25/30+ each.
Here’s the bizarre thing, the CDs are the ‘originals’ i.e. what people in the ho-hum would have bought in the actual ho-hum.
As I said above, please don’t tell me young people are lumping on vinlys. Old people fine; young people, ‘NO!’, there’ll be a Skylarking for you in your local chazzer/second-hand shop for £3 very soon, if there isn’t one there right now.
“Young people” don’t know what CDs are
Aside from DD himself, no one knows what the “ho hum” is or might be.
Would also like some kind of guidance as to the upper age limit for “young people”, and the name and age band that comes between one’s youth and temporal decay into dodgerdom
I’m going to make a guess and say that “Ho Hum” is DD’s shorthand for the 90s, in the same way that “Dire” represents the 80s.
I think Deram’s making a fair point here – if you want to pick up a physical copy of a record from the 90s, then it was the CD that everyone bought. I’ve been buying second hand CDs by R.E.M., Madonna and Beck from that time recently as I couldn’t afford to buy many CDs at that time. They’re all cheap and ubiquitous. Monster and Bedtime Stories in particular are strong contenders for being the CD equivalent of No Parlez. Thing is, they’re both pretty good albums. Not sure why Monster gets the bad press it does.
Because it’s their worst Bill Berry era album. There’s a great EP in there though
Young people are buying vinyl but don’t know what to do with it when they get home.
Young People should be squandering their hard-earned/begged-from-mum cash on drugs and foolish fashions. Like wot I did at their age.
Re: Skylarking
“And just when I thought that my vista was golden in hue”
I love that line! (from “1,000 Umbrellas”)
I have the (phase-corrected) 2x 45rpm vinyl and it sounds fab.
I know S. Wilson is held in high regard, but I don’t often like his remixes, so the “first time Wilson mix on vinyl” doesn’t appeal to me. I prefer the earlier
stuffmixes.
