Wow
Where?
Edinburgh....
... they had half a dozen left.... quite a few cd's at £1 or £2, but Exile was the only one i fancied.
More detail please
Which branch of Sainsburys?
Not a massive 'Exile' fan
Listened to it yesterday, badly fades towards the end (still).
Side Two's great, though.
However, even I might be tempted to get the Deluxe model for two sovs.
As a point of interest.....is 'Dirty Work' the worst LP ever made?
In response to your point of interest...
Yes it is. And it also has the worst cover of all time. Dirty work indeed.
IS It Balls
It has Sleep Tonight on it
Is it balls...
Yes it most certainly is.
well played Sir!
No, maybe you are thinking of ...
... Sparks.
Boogie with Stu
Dirty Work is mostly smelly work, but it stays in the house thanks to the brief hidden track at the end. "Key to the Highway" is played by the loyal Ian Stewart, who died during the beleaguered sessions. Am currently reading "And on Piano ... Nicky Hopkins" which is sometimes like a discography padded out but is still engrossing and means a lot of 1960s vinyl is being flung about the room.
I may have misremembered this
Isn't one of the EOMS reissues one of the examples cited in discussions of the 'loudness wars' – records that are compressed to buggery?
I think my version of EOMS precedes that, but did this ever get sorted?
dunno is there a definitive answer as to which is 'better'
but folk have done analysis and the order of quality appears to be
1) Virgin 1994
2) Universal 2010
3) CBS 198something
The gap between 1 and 2 is, apparently, what they call a country mile...
[Slopes off]
to see which version is on the shelf
The Virgin one
Yay!
yay - indeed.
You get a bonus point if you managed to pick up the limited edition version in Mini LP packaging. I bought it.
Before I had a CD player.
(okay - only a fortnight before i got the player, but still...ditto Some Girls and Sticky Fingers!)
On a similar note,
HMV have a clearout on at the moment, at least in my local, and I managed to pick up new cds by The Phantom Band and also The Walkmen, both for the princely sum of 3 pounds each....many other cds were available
Thanks Mojitojoe
I got it for £2 in Sainsbury's (East Kilbride - Kingsgate) today. They didn't have it yesterday but I checked again today & they had 3 left if anyones cares (2 now). Sounds much better than my old 1980s copy. Not heard the bonus tracks yet but must be worth £2 to hear them.
