a timely reminder perhaps but, and I am not recommending this album, I bought a CD of Tanika Tikkaram for the princely sum of £1. I had the vinyl version already; sordid member's of parliament sum of 50p. The vinyl is fab - all sorts of detail and things that are just missing from the antiseptic clean sound of the CD.

Mind you I only like one track.

very interestingK!

Ah, you've just dragged me back to 1988. I'm living in a shithole in Bradford paying £10 a week rent and Twist In My Sobriety is on the radio. Yuck (the house, not Twist In My Sobriety).

Haven't listened to the album in years, I'll have to have a wander through my vinyl.

Ha Ha

That's a larf Andrew!

I have the vinyl too. It was horrible on my Linn/Naim system. Ms Tikaram's sultry vocals sounding like a buzz saw with my K18 cartridge.

Playing it again through the present system, I'd agree with you - the vinyl is indeed fab.

Another one that was godawful on the Linn/Naim system but is now excellent was "Shooting Rubber Bands at the Stars" by Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians"

I well remember the Linn's rendition of track one "I'm not aware of tttzzzzzooo many things" YUCK.

I didn't, but it was the big hit from the album so was played on the radio a lot. Tis a good song too. The understated bass and brooding singing really grabbed me.

It wasn't worth a tenner, really it wasn't.

You know, I'd never heard of Tan.Tik - still haven't

but at that price I bought the LP because the sleeve looked minimally interesting - such an art form.

The LP cover.

CDs and the rest will perish.

Dredging up memory, I think I paid about £8 a week when I lived in Brixton for the first time.

- wasn't THAT bad!

Just playing my vinyl copy of "ancient heart" which was £1 in Scope (charity shop !) and I like most of her tracks.

Don't play vinyl much these days but just testing out the new 300b whilst tiffling with the mos-fet build. Can't be called a witch if you have valves playing at the same time.

(can you ?

Was(Not was) 1988 'What up Dog'...pricey at £3.99! Some LP's were stoooopidly over priced, a mullered copy of Mud Slide Slim on green WB's...£16! Teenage Kicks by The Undertones 7" Single, paper cover £40!!! Pffftttt....

10p...I kid you not!
MrI's influence clearly showing here....

£1.50

HI DAD, I"M IN JAIL!

HI DAD, I"M SPEAKING TO YOU.........FROM JAIL........

I LIKE IT HERE.......................IN JAIL.

My Missus absolutely detested that track, so that made me play it all the more

BOOM-BOOM
AKA-LACKA-LACKA-BOOM!

Eeeeh memories.

Around that time I also had the twelve inch single of "Klackto Vee Sedstein" by Blue Rondo a la Turk. Another cracker I wish I hadn't sold.

^^^^

JTS knows 'Walk the Dinosaur' but she has yet to digest the pleasure of 'Hello Dad I'm in Jail'

"SAY HI TO MUM>>>>>FROM JAIL!!!!"

'Shadow and Jimmy' that was another track that I used to lurrrve too. The list of players is like a who's who of session superstars...Steve Ferrone, Marcus Miller...John Pattitucci...Al Kooper....Russ Kunkel...Neil Steubbenhaus... blah blah blah.

Listening to it now, so many memories <drifts off again>.....

Dave, that's the same recording of Carmina Burana as the one I sent you on those CDs. Just thought you'd like to know...
