Great piece of art, a snapshot of a moment in time. The introduction of the criminal justice act, and the aftermath of the massive free party at castlemorton.
Was so blessed to be a part of that scene from 88-93, an amazing time

T4ravelled all the way down to hammersmith palais to see them twice then saw them again on Channel 4s The TUBE in the days of Paula Yates & Jools Holland. Oh those were the days
A modern masterpiece I can't believe that was '94. As live performances go no one could touch them in their day.Great piece of art, a snapshot of a moment in time. The introduction of the criminal justice act, and the aftermath of the massive free party at castlemorton.

Hopefully cool enough for this thread, a trip down memory lane (more like Penny Lane) of my late Mums records.
Nice originals
Nice to have some bumf with the records, I love the fact there was a second performance, Brighton Hippodrome 25th Oct 1964
Movie stuff too, these B&W stills are particularly nice.
Fan magazines were a must

More my era, I can't believe this is 50 years old this year, unfortunately stickers missing as we stuck them somewhere as kids!
I had stopped buying vinyl until a few years back when I went to buy a beatles album on CD. £15 says I - crazy price, I still have my turntable, I will just pick up an old vinyl copy.
(forget which album it was). On playing it I realised why I like vinyl. And decided I needed all of the Ramones and Motorhead albums on vinyl.
On reflection the £15 CD would have been cheaper

Sorting through my records - found this, one of my favourites back in the day - and with one of the best lines in a song - appealed to me as my day job was psychologist
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum
Ramones live at the Rainbow is a modern masterpiece. 4 sides of 2-3 min sweet bubblegum rock. I'd be straight in for a JJP Ramones pin...

Buying a lot of Greatest Hits albums for my LP playing jukebox
One of the few good things about having a workshop nr Brum city centre is I have 3 good record shops close. One I pass on the drive home and my van somehow pulls over!!!!!

I've got that on cassette somewhere in the loft
Not a new purchase but thought I would pop it here anyway since I had it on the turntable earlier.
shame it’s not the stereo version
The mono beatles on vinyl I think sound better
I was referring to its rarity. Hard to get a decent stereo 1st press.
Yeah, well we know in the 60s/70s vinyl was not treasured like it is today.
A customer of mine bought me an old Led Zeppelin II album, and it was lovely - except for the back of it that had had thousands of joints rolled on it and maybe some cocaine cut!
Trying to find a mono Rubber Soul that is half decent.
Record fair on locally this sunday so I will have a hunt around.
As some else already said - Mono is how its meant to be. (I also dont have around £4-k to spend on it - thats a couple of old SS pins that is
)
I have rubber soul several times I think.
didn’t know you were into the beatles
@HomerRamone / @AlanJ - still looking for a mono boxset but going for silly money now.
i have mint sealed stereo box set but no mono unfortunately.

I love the mono mixes but do not own any vinyl of them - I have stereo Beatles records and it doesnt warrant me gettng the stereo box.
I listen to a pretty broad spectrum of stuff. (I recall a buy at a car boot not being able to get his head around it when I bought 2 albums from him. Cyndi Laupers True Colours and Metallicas Justice album. "But.. but.. "
I recall reading somewhere the first few beatles albums were original intend to be mono and the stereo version were an afterthought. Stereo wasnt a big thing when the first few were released which is why there were not many made. (The pressing plant was also in the process of switching labels from the black and gold to the black and yellow ones - which is why the black and gold ones are so rare)
Think there are also 2 versions of the black and gold ones - some have the wrong credits on there or something.

The issues on vinyl with stereo mix is when the bass and low frequencies are panned left or right. Bass should be mixed in the middle when cut onto vinyl. Guitars/keys/voice etc can be panned where they like.
You also have to remember back in these days - most beatles albums got played on old dansette style record players. Which are mainly mono. Stereo was only for the posh with lots of money.
yes first pressing credited “dick james music” to 4 tracks instead of to “northern songs” it was corrected promptly - so yes two versions of the black n gold in both mono and stereo.
Some fairly new vinyl albeit a slightly eclectic mix
Plus a cool coloured Stan Getz album
Bought my first LP in a year or two today, Sleaford Mods UK Grim.
I’ve got pretty much all their output on vinyl. There are an amazing live act although I’m a bit apprehensive on how they’ll sound at Ally Pally I’m December. That’s a pretty cavernous venue for a chap on his pc and an old fella shouting.
+1 for Beatles in mono. My friend lent me his original mono LP and it sounded so alive compared to the later stereo reissues. Some tracks were different too with extra vocals and little changes. I found it incredible that there was still a considerably wide sound field and clear instrument separation from a mono track. Pet Sounds is wonderful in mono too.
I must pick up a mono cartridge one day.
