The beast has arrived....and it looks utterly wonderful. I'm going in... Do keep us posted. I've held back on this one for reasons I already mentioned. I have been known to change my mind about things like this. |

I managed to buy a copy of this pretty cheaply (there are some very fruitily priced copies being offered).
My overall impressions are summed up by this statistic on how much is written about certain albums: 1st album:4.75 pp WWDOOH: 5.33 pp Unhalfbricking: 5.33 pp L&L:4.5 pp FH: 4.75 pp Shuffle & Go: 9.5 pp Enough said. Over and out. |

https://store.dead.net/products/merriweather-6-30-85-3cd?variant=44551899119658 Lots of camping at this show. I remember a flyer floating around the campsites about this band name Fairport Convention recently reforming and that they were "kinda like the UK's Grateful Dead." I thought "hummmmm?" I also ran into to two aquaintences I had recently met and played guitar with them all night that evening. 7 months later, we would form a band. We're on our 40th year now and just released our first record. Two very big parts in my life started that day. Oh.......and the show.....superb! Excellent. I find it almost (I have about 3 or 4 shows I like, mostly with guests - Stills etc.) impossible to get excited about post-79 Dead although I will give it a listen when it appears online. Fwiw, apart from their longevity I find it hard to think of two bands less alike...15 minutes as the British Jefferson Airplane doesn't alter that, I don't think... Yes, the lure was a dubious one indeed.....but a bait I'm very grateful to have taken!  |

I paid 20 quid for the Nick Drake. We are talking about the same thing - the Making of Five Leaves Left? If so you have by far the cheapest copy in the UK (by a factor of about 3). |

The Aly & Phil set is pretty good Incidentally I picked up a solo Ally Bain best of the other day at the chazzer for a quid...and it appears to be rather pricey online. Anybody know why? |
