Yes and yes, and Jimmy’s underage gal pal, and John Bonham’s and Peter Grant’s violence and thuggery, as well as tragic episodes like the deaths of children and Bonzo. I was not aware of the plans for two further films, so I guess they can’t avoid these subjects, deftly or otherwise.


My only interaction with Peter Grant was at a 100 Club Pretty Things show shortly before he died in '95.  He had lost virtually all his weight, and was almost ostentatiously polite.

What controversial areas are we talking about ?
There's a lot of documented controversy available. Google is your pal.



I wouldn't agree that Google is a friend of mine, and I'm aware of Zep controversy, I was just trying to see if we could narrow it down a bit.


Lol.  I'm not entirely sure either...but I suspect Sex and Drugs probably figure fairly highly....?

Room to Roam by The Waterboys, our joint Valentine’s prezzy was the vinyl remastered at 45rpm. I am sure one of you gurus will explain why it has been remastered at 45 instead of 33rpm.

Anyway, it sounds amazing and so good to hear those beautiful songs, which mean a lot to the pair of us.


I have no idea why they did that, but in any form it's one of my absolute favourite records.

If you mean  putting a LP  on a double record which plays at  45rpm,  it's an audiophile thing.
In lay terms, it can give the music more  attack, enhanced detail.  I'n not a fan of it particularly,  but i have one or 2.
Basically, the grooves are wider so the dynamic range is wider.  

Thanks for the explanation, yes it is a double record. I'm not enough of a buff to tell the difference, but it sounds fine. Just have to get up and down more often.  Smiley

I know about half speed mastering which makes sense to me...but surely this is the opposite of that, or am I missing something?

Anyway, it's a corking album...I've got that Magnificent Seven CD box set, which is fab.

The Sundays :  Reading Writing and Arithmetic  (Geffen  LP,  grey coloured vinyl ,  2023).

Paid rather more than a usual LP price   for  this as it was only released in the US, but gosh it was worth it.  A delightful record. This version is done from the original tapes.


Love the two hit singles from this album very much indeed.

Jules


Yes!
Sad they quit after 3 albums.

Tracey Chapman's eponymous 1988 album. Even after all these years I find this an affecting and enjoyable album.


Takes me back to my college days. A wonderful album, from a great time!
