Ooh look, all the Beatle albums, all remastered, repressed on 180g vinyl, and beautifully boxed with a book.
Only £299. What's not to like?
Somebody stop me.

Gordon Bennett the beatle. Do you not have them all already? [/mother]

 

[Archie_tect]

No, you go ahead... just don't expect a queue behind you Charlie!

I still have a posh turntable and spend a fortune on vinyl but won't be buying that, not because of the price but because it's the Beatles- not as good as they thought they were

yep that's my opinion :-)

Two things…
1 It weighs 8kg - I carried it up six flights of stairs from the postroom to my office.
2 It's a thing of great beauty, imho.

The fact that they are shite?

 

[CharlieB]

From which we can deduce two things.
You get a good view from your office
You were reluctant to have it delivered to your home.

I do.
I was.

Well done Charlie!

Sometimes giving in to temptation is good for the soul.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, I'm about to acquire five High Level Ranter vinyl albums. Anyone not liking Northumbrian small pipes and a cappella mining songs need not comment

I'm an avid music fan, and have a large collection of vinyl from days of yore, when I bought what I could afford (i.e. 1/10 of what I wanted to buy). I've never been a 'completist' though, and I simply don't get the need to acquire all versions of music you already have. I just like the music, I guess. A friend and I have an interest in a particular band. We both have all their albums. I've got them once on vinyl or cd (and one on cassette). I can listen to them all on spotify. He's got everything on all available formats, and he's just spent a small fortune on a re-released version of an old one that he has about 5 times already. Each to their own, I guess.

I have them all on cassette. Our last two cassette players are so ropey we dare not play them.

Be prepared for the Beatles Nazi's!
