What Rotels ya got? I'm running 1070 pre and power with a project rpm 6.1 through some Jamos and a REL sub.

Hiya, two systems at the moment. Rc / Rb 03's for the TT, but often have em hooked into an older RB 985 (5 chan) amp in the lounge set-up, into B&W 604's. The Subs just for movies lol.....the 604's have more than enuff grunt as it is. (Unless listening to some loud D&B, then the windows shake!)

So no longer anywhere near entry-level audiophile....its been fuddled around to fit into a generic HT kida setup to keep everyone else happy too. But ont he od occasion, hook up some 602's (Rears in the HT system) direct to the RB03's, for some more critical listening.

Indy, have a look at slowboat records in wellies, they have a web site that I can't remember the address for or musicdirect.com. If you didn't know about them. Last time I went into slowboat I came out $200 poorer, hence my wife won't let me go to Wellington

I found an immaculate copy of "the Who Live at Leeds" with all the inserts and stuff* at the shop in Cuba St.
Left it in the car , warped like a potato chip. Fucked me off considerably.

*The album cover looks like the simple cover of a bootleg LP of the era: it is of plain brown cardboard with "The Who Live At Leeds" printed on it in plain blue or red block letters as if stamped on with ink (on the original first English pressing of 300, this stamp is black). The original LP's cover opened out, gatefold-style, and had a pocket on either side of the interior, with the record in a paper sleeve on one side and 12 facsimilés of various memorabilia on the other, including a photo of the band from the My Generation photoshoot, handwritten lyrics to the "Listening to You" chorus from Tommy, a receipt for smoke bombs, a rejection letter from EMI, and the early black "Maximum R&B" poster showing Pete Townshend windmilling his Rickenbacker. The first 500 copies included a copy of the contract for The Who to play at the Woodstock Festival.

The label was handwritten (apparently in Townshend's hand), and included instructions to the engineers not to attempt to remove any crackling noise

All is not lost, two baking trays and a hot oven can fix this. Heat the oven up and scrub the trays so they are absolutely smooth. Put record on one tray and into oven, as soon as record warps remove and place other oven tray on top and a stack of books on top of that. Leave for an hour.

Worked for me, picked up a copy of Spike Milligan's Bad Jelly the Witch for 50 cents at the Hamilton Recycling Centre a few years back and it was warped, but the above method sorted it out. Not even a scratch on it.

OK, thats a terrible single from an even more terrible album. It was done with a bunch of numpties after Joe had kicked Mick out of the band, Topper was completely fucked with heroin addiction. From memory Paul was still involved, but since his major contribution to the Clash was "Guns of Brixton" then I think its fair to say he didnt have much to do.

awful awful travesty.

On hte other hand, I have a bunch of .45s of when they were good. Including White Man in Hammersmith Palais, Radio Clash, Rock the Casbah and Train in Vain.

Dont get me wrong, I love the Clash. If only they'd gone for a decent holiday after Sandinista! (or before: there is a good album in there, you just have to dig through a bunch of crap to find it: but is it a triple? no way.)

Even Joe, in later life, admitted to being a bit embarrassed by that album.


Oh, and I played these yesterday. Unfortunately the Psychedelic Furs one has got a scratch in the quiet part of track 1 side 1, but apart from that it plays OK.

I quite like the Undertones singles, but an albums worth of his singing gives me the shits. But "Teenage Kicks"? well its genius. The cover's pretty cool too, huh? Suck on that Mrs GooGoo or whatever your name is. How dare you recycle memes from my yoof?!??!
