Vinyl Junkies Stand and Be Counted!!!

OK, there's a link in the thread below to the vinyl thread at the HoM board, but let's start our own here as well. I already do a bunch of double-posting between there and here anyway so...

WHAT'S ONE MORE WAFER THIN THREAD GONNA HURT?!?!?

Post vinyl acquisitions (with pics if poss), vinyl listening, links to cool vinyl sites, etc. It's the same as the CD threads, but with WAY MORE pops and hisses!!!

I just put in my order.

Cheers mateys! Anyone interested can also just put their name down here and I will add them to the list.

For anyone not wanting to go and look - it is for a possible My Silent Wake vinyl release, but we need more people to say they will definitely get one to make it viable for the label to do. It will be a mega rare (prob 200 copies) nicely packaged item.

Please spread the word about this!

JESUS IS MASTER OF THE METAL!!!!!

The Anti Nowhere League - 'Long Live The league' yesterday.

I grabbed a copy of THIN LIZZY - Johnny the Fox on vinyl yesterday.

The My Silent Wake vinyl is close to becoming a reality and it looks like it will be our brand new album which has some stunning artwork best appreciated in 12 inches! It will aslo have a bonus live track.

We still need some more people that will definitely want one when it is released to make this a reality. I have a list of around 75 people at present. I believe we will need at least 120 to make this happen. The album will be a limited number of no more than 500, probably less.

Please ask everyone you know to buy one!

Thankyou!

Ian.

Can't wait to get my copy, Ian.

Yesterday's pickups on vinyl:

DEEP PURPLE - Who Do We Think We Are
JETHRO TULL - War Child
JETHRO TULL - Songs From the Wood

If this is true, then I need to check into some Joe Walsh! I grew up listening to the Eagles, especially the live album from the "Hell Freezes Over" tour, and I've always liked their music.

Yeah dOOg, you'd dig Joe Walsh. I have a double disc comp which is yours for the asking if you want a burn.

I have picked up a shi'ite load of vinyl the last couple of days, which I will post soon.

In the mail:
SAXON - The Eagle Has Landed

A couple in the mail last night:
Stryper - Honestly (7" single/picture sleeve)

I'm heading to a record show tomorrow. It's been forever since I've been to one, so I'm really looking forward to it! I'll prob be calling you while there with your list in hand, ult, so have yer phone on!
