Weeks Where Decades Happen is usually as far back as we play for live shows, and between that and the upcoming Fantastic Voyage vinyl, you're basically covered across most of the stuff that is "good" imo

Disc 2 is pretty badly warped. Side 4 isn't playable, if I let it go it starts to skip.

Who was it that knew someone who was offering flattening services? Was it in another forum? I would be happy to take a chance.

You can't return it? You might try the Needles & Grooves forum. I know people there have had varying levels of success with flattening.

Just want to say thanks to anyone who takes the time to listen to my shows. Seeing them chart gives me the little dopamine hit that I crave.

Needles and Grooves has some volunteers who offer vinyl flattening services.

They're good people, they've helped me with a couple of warps in the past.

Eh, it was from a record shop, and it was sealed. Plus it's from a label in the UK (Chocodog) so it won't be easy to replace. I don't really wanna bother them to return it if there's a chance I can fix it. If it was Amazon or whatever I'd return it in a heartbeat.

I will listen to the new show on my walk tomorrow night :thumbsup:

E: the Patrice Rushen I took a hit on the sleeve condition for a very nice condition record. A bit of dust on the lead-in (?) groove but very nice otherwise.

My kids always take the stickers that come with album purchases and put them on their laptops, but I snagged this one for myself.

God this album is great. It keeps feeling like it should be descend into silliness and Lynott doesn't let it. It just sound great -- like how I want songs to sound. I love it.

It's the start of everything awesome about that band although the previous album, Fighting, is loving solid as well. Everything earlier is very rough but they honed their sound around Fighting/Jailbreak. That album is so loving good though - solid start to finish. They don't really let up until about Renegade which again is solid start to finish. Thunder and Lightning is very rough - almost metal but these were the final years of Lynott's addiction. Lynott's first solo album, Solo in Soho is worth a listen too.

Thin Lizzy is easily one of the most underrated bands in rock. People think they are only for Jailbreak and Boys... plus Whiskey but 3/4 of their catalogue is solid loving gold. Johnny the Fox and Bad Reputation are killer records - if you've never listened to anything past Jailbreak you owe it to yourself to explore those albums.

My best bud in college used to say (back in the 80s) that if there's a good metal band it's Thin Lizzie. In the context of what had been published up till that time in the 80s, I'd still agree. I always had a pretty high regard for his musical tastes.

We hear and we obey:

quote:

Friends, fans, and associated rockers:

As you may recall, after years of bringing you the best, sometimes most obscure, and deeply researched music and stories of underground Cleveland, we felt we had reached some sort of plateau and decided to close the business.
While by and large this has been a positive experience for us, we were informed today by the label’s bank that our distributor, Amped Distribution/Alliance Entertainment has failed to pay us since mid-April of this year.
What that means in real terms is that, despite repeated written demands to the company to honor its obligations, we never saw any revenues after April 2022 for what was sold, even the meager digital monies that somehow was enough through the years to keep our lights turned on. You may have noticed that some of your favorite Smog Veil releases are no longer available for download or stream—well, we couldn’t continue a situation where fans are paying for the music and Amped Distribution/Alliance Entertainment isn’t paying the label.
Fortunately, we managed our past revenues in such a way that all the bands and licensors and everyone who worked for us were paid in a timely manner. Luckily in years past we had some amazing distributors who always paid us: Revolver, Forced Exposure, Get Hip to name a few. Entertainment One paid us every penny owed in a timely manner. But, since Amped Distribution/Alliance Entertainment failed to pay us, we weren’t able to pay ourselves.
Never fear, we’ve moved on to new challenges and new businesses, albeit, outside of independent music. We’ll be fine.
But, this has reiterated a very important lesson: support your local musicians and favorite bands, your favorite record shops, the local club owner, and have fun collecting records or streaming if that floats your boat. Independent record labels need your help and understanding of the hustle that labels have to go through just to have normal business practices. A recent tweet from Michaela (I withheld the last name) perfectly encapsulates this issue:
“Every musician I know who's out touring, releasing records & looking like their careers are going great...when we talk 1 on 1, every single one shares how financially, emotionally, logistically stressful & challenging it really is behind the scenes...I personally think the only way to keep on keeping on is through honesty & community.”

That’s a lesson apparently Amped/Alliance Entertainment hasn’t learned.

Thanks everyone again for the support through the years, keep on rocking!

I’m cautiously optimistic to say the quality control of VMP has gotten… better? In recent months.

I still think most of their pricing is too expensive but they hooked me back with a recent promotion that gave me $150 in store credit if I re-subscribed for a full year. I went with Gravediggaz for the first month over Thin Liszt and aside from some minor surface noise near the end of side C/D it’s really superb.
