Jut had Kavinsky - 1986 Arrive on red 12" vinyl, it kicks ass

Now I just need to get hold of the Nightcall and Blazer Albums

October Tide - Winged Waltz (golden)

[Blood Music]

Nice collection! Please treat that 3LP carefully - that was hell to put together, haha. Never again with the hand-assembled stuff (he says, as he folds "Dangerous Days" j-cards).

hugo - how do you feel about Mariner in the end?

My mom is staying at my place for a couple weeks so I have not been able to play any vinyl as my listening area is the same as the TV and she loves watching her shows, so I wont get to play Mariner and my Ride The Lightning until sunday probably :^/

Still waiting for my purple "Mariner".

I gave the it another listen in the gym at lunchtime today. It's still a thoroughly frustrating listen... there's so much about it that's really good, including bits where Julies voice really augments the music, but then you hear parts that utterly ruin it simply because her vocals are at odds with the song.

Ha, thanks! I'm always afraid to touch the box. It's handcrafted and unique, there's no replacing it. Took me like an hour to even open the thing - first half hour getting through the anxiety fearing I might damage it, second half trying to figure out a way to safely open it. I don't keep the records in the box for the sake of conserving the box. I just store them with my other records, each in a protecting sleeve.

Dunno why I bothered you with this story but I am indeed doing my best taking good care of the stuff.

[Blood Music]

Haha cool. :]

re: Mariner, I love that band but I simply didn't get into this album ... I didn't catch the spirit of the premiere tracks anyway, so I wasn't expecting to love it.

[Godflesh]

I opened the 3LP set when I got it and it took about half an hour to get it open without any damage. Now I'm not sure how many years will pass before I dare to take another go. But when I do, I have to keep it under rotation for a good few weeks so that it can be seremoniously sealed again for a few years, haha

Purchases:
Sisters Of Mercy: Vision Thing -LP (first pressing)
Zun: Burial Sunrise -LP (transparent blue)
AC/DC: Highway To Hell -LP (Albert Productions, first Australian pressing)

[Blood Music]

its very difficult to open, i opened it played the lps once but must admit i play now the cds because i dont want to risk open the box again, and stupid as i was, i didnt do what one did, take the lps out and store them seperately.....But its damn cool.
