Thanks mate.

Arrived in the post today, 'Plays Live' - Peter Gabriel (Double LP/Oz 1st pressing '83) and 'Talk Talk Talk' - Psychedelic Furs (Oz pressing '81). Both in good  nick, visually great, a few crackles, will Revirginize them. The Peter Gabriel live is as you would expect, a great production!

Arrived today, 'Wild Planet' The B52's, MOFI Silver Label issue and also arrived today, 'Forever Now' The Psychedelic Furs.Also, bought on Ebay today, 'Rio' Duran Duran (Japanese pressing '82)

Dead Meadow's self titled album arrived yesterday. Highly recommended if you like a bit of psychedelic fuzz rock, it's spinning on repeat at the moment.

Green vinyl is a bit poppy, but I guess it's appropriate for the music.

Purchased today (ebay) 'Sun Structures' Temples (current British psychedelic pop/rock band). Just discovered this band tonight while meandering through the web. They sound quite good. They're like a 'poppier' version of Tame Impala (Innerspeaker era). LP was cheap too! Also purchased a few days ago (ebay) "The Hermit of Mink Hollow" Todd Rundgren (original 1978 Oz pressing/NM).....'Can We Still Be Friends?'....you know the one!

Shift one of the elephants......hopefully that will throw her off the scent

 

Great gear though

Need to lose the Mu-So to put the being rebuilt SP10 TT she doesn't know about yet in that space. She won't notice. Especially if the elephants move as you suggest.

@expat big.

@mwhouston If I turn them sideways, do you think she will see them?

Put on some tinsel and she will think they are Xmas trees.

Bought a funkfirm achromat (red) and michell rega record clamp.  

 

 

Got an Ortofon tonearm raiser. 

There are some wonderful people in this group!

Just ordered a copy of 'Practical Jokers' by The Swingers (Oz pressing 1981).....yes, the one with 'Counting the Beat'.

I had to restrain myself from buying another 1970's tuner (Pioneer), but couldn't resist these: Handel on the fabulous DG Arhiv label in schmicko, & some assorted CD's & a cassette of Nat King Cole's 'Unforgettable'.

I bought this box set from a garage sale yesterday. The guy told me it hadn't been played at all, so I was a little disappointed to find a small scratch on one LP and fingerprints on another. And the 7" is missing from the set. Anyway, still happy I bought it and can't wait to play it once I have replaced the power lead on my TT. I forgot that because I changed my amp recently, and it doesn't have the old style parallel power sockets on the back, I have to fit a lead with the standard angled pin plug :-/

 

It's not my pic either, just one I borrowed from the WWW, but the same box set.

Wow Bob, at a garage sale too! I have Birdman envy, I remember when that was released I was a broke mature age student, but one of my equally broke flatmates saved up & bought it. 

 

Bought this today Buddy Rich & Gene Krupa, Burnin Beat on Verve V.8471. A bit grubby to play, will need a bath first.

Not sure if this is allowed, because I've already mentioned it in another post, but I bought this a couple of days ago

Today at the Masters closing down sale I bought 2m of balsa wood for a ridiculously low price. There's my inert-item-to-place-under-components needs sorted for the next while.
