Scouring the shops throughout Cornwall produced these lovelies...
JTS spotted one of her faves and bought this for £4 even though it was marked up at 4.99... she's a tough woman (not!), didn't even know it'd been out on LP as it came out in 1993 when Vinyl appeared dead to us, their best LP by far (IMO).
This was too good to leave even though it cost a mahoosive £10 and I've alreday got a 2nd pressing of it...
..complete with intact daft foamy edged inner sleeve MarkJ mentioned earlier
...and lastly my bestest find of all...
Cover had rubbing marks and the top and bottom edges have come unstuck...
...but at sometime in it's life the LP has has been placed in a good quality inner sleeve so it's survived in uber-good nick.
Plays very nicely, the bass is subterranean and CB was living between my speakers for a time! I don't know what pressing it is but it's an LP I've wanted for a good while now. Got it for a fiver.
Then we waddled around Falmouth and found a little independent Music shop with this in it's rack...
Just had to have, what are the chances of finding CD's by Morphine these days seeing as the lead 2 string bassist died a while ago?
Keep 'em peeled

Respect Due Dave
'On Tomorrow' is one of my fave tracks , the construction of the music on that one is cosmic . It seems like a great rotating ball of string, then suddenly the light hits it at a certain angle and it's a series of interlocking geometric shapes , in shimmering colour . If you know what I mean ....
Hats off to the Captain

there is substantial interest in this mushroom because it is poisonous and hallucinogenic. Most fruiting bodies contain two toxins, ibotenic acid and muscimol. Ingestion of these toxins results in "expanded perception," talking to God, macropsia (perceiving objects as enlarged), rapid heartbeat, dry mouth. They are hallucinogenic and psychoactive, acting on the nervous system as neuropeptide receptors. (For those of your interested in neurobiology, muscimol is a substrate analog for GABA [gamma-amino-butyric acid], and ibotenate is a substrate analog for NMDA [N-methyl-D-aspartic acid]). GABA normally acts as a neurotransmitter and NMDA acts as glutamate receptor responsible for learning in a part of the brain known as the amygdala. The amygdala is the part of the brain responsible for fear. Studies in rats have shown that the inactivation of this area of the brain through the use of muscimol and ibotenate will inhibit fear learning and the startle reflex. Eating the mushrooms effective turn off the fear emotion.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Oh, all that and more dear Philip, and the particularly nice ones will be ripening (or whatever mushies do to come to fruition) shortly.
One may reap a fine fat crop of really remarkable 'rooms', should one be so inclined to walk out on a dew soaked morning.
'corse you gotta know what you're looking for.
... or so I read once.

And I just thought it was done by magic.
Incidentally, apologies to Mr Pink for poking gentle fun at his description. In fact that sort of critique tells me more about a piece of music than any highbrow review ever could. I know exactly what you mean.

I seem to remember talk of a particularly fine crop behind the venue of the Bolton Hifi show, which was an annual event in the eighties. It always was a good show, that one...andrew Ivimey wrote:Oh, all that and more dear Philip, and the particularly nice ones will be ripening (or whatever mushies do to come to fruition) shortly.

Oooh
That took the thread off in another direction.
I can happily say, in my case , 'No Need' .
I am wired to appreciate the psychedelic and avant-garde without assistance.
Why can I not attach a jpeg of an IslandPink label, that's the big mystery to me right now ....
Soon .

It's a wunnderfool thing innit.

Attention CB fans, saw this mentioned in HFW this month and ordered it instantly, I've got my excited trousers on.
Have you?

Yesterday a localish Oxfam were having a 1/2 price vinyl clearout to make way for new stock plus there was a CD and record fair on 100 yards up the road from it so we had to have a good nose through.
List to follow,
