  1. Crossroads theme - Paul McCartney & Wings
  2. Shore leave - Tom Waits I keep humming it all of the time
  3. I am listening to Live on Blueberry Hill for the first time in a while, I'd forgotten that the record goes side one side three on the first one and side two side for on the second one, still it's a great album, shame the bass on my copy is hardly audible.
  4. To chef free, I'm impressed, the unit I was taliking about is a Decca SRG797, when my parents died in 2009 my family were all for throwing it away, but I took it and to my amazement it still works. I am impressed with your system here is mine if you are interested; As I have said I have a Technics turntable, I also use a Kenwood turntable, I have a Technics Cd and Sony Cd, which I use both on various days. In have a Kenwood pro logic surround sound receiver which is extremely powerful. I use a Kenwood double cassette deck which I need to replace but I am having trouble in the UK finding one. The speakers I use are Sansui XP 11 or something like that , they should have been £800 each, but whilst I was working as a barman in Newquay Cornwall I got to Know an American naval man called Bill Minton, and he got me a pair and only charged me £100, we became good drinking friends but he hated my girlfriend, they are amazing they have six speakers in each unit including a 17 and a half inch woofer, and they weigh 39Kgs each. That was in 1986 and they work just as well now as they did then, I also use 3 sony speakers for the surround sound. My wife and daughters hate the system and all my album collection because it takes up so much room, mainly the vinyl collection (548 vinyl albums).The whole thing takes up about twelve feet of wall and floor space in our living room, still not to worry, I have our TV, Video and DVD all plugged into the system so DVDs sound like being there, all my family think I am a sad bastard and that I live in the past, they are trying to persuade me to get one of these tiny systems, but I have nothing to do with it.
  5. Since my parents started really getiing interested in Hi Fi in the 60s, My Dad always had a decent turntable, even when he bought a sterogram in about 1969 it had a Garrard deck and Celestion Ditton speakers. This has passed on to me When I got my first job in 1974 I bought a seperates system and the turntable was a connoisseur BD2A.I have still got seperates now and I amm still using my Technics SLD2 turntable which I purchased in 1979, I have stuck with Ortofon OM Pro Catridge and stylus since 1984, it's getting difficult to get a stylus for it now, luckily when I was living in Newquay, a friend of mine was closing down his Hi Fi shop, and I got about 10 cartridges for £100.Most of my records are still scratch free, except for the very early ones, Billy J Kramer etc....What kind of system do you use?
  6. One of these days - Pink Floyd
  7. I have every Paul & Wings album, and every beatles album, most of m are on vinyl and I got them when they were released. I will not make any comparison between The Beatles and Paul with Wings or solo, I believe that some of the Beatles stuff wasn't so good. I also have some John and Ringo albums, I only have one of Georges albums "All Things Must Pass", I saved up for it as it was a triple album, what a waste of money that was I doubt if Ive played it in 30 years, The only decent track in my opinion is Isn't it a pity, My Sweet Lord was a rip off of She's so Fine by The Shiffons, he just changed the words, and got berated for it, and it cost him millions.But I think that Pauls work solo with wings is on a par with his work with the Beatles, I can't say the same for the other three.
  8. Jahfin, you should have a listen to Kevin Bloody Wilsons' version of Sunday Morning Coming Down, if nothing else it will make you laugh, and yes I have albums by Cash and Kristoffersson
  9. I agree with DAS I have a compilation double vinyl album that I bought in the 70s, and there are loads of great blues tracks on it, before Mr Green went off his trolley. Still it's a great album.
  10. I am watching and listening to "The Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd story" on DVD.
  11. I rarely drink anymore but seeings as I don't smoke I have been known in the past to eat skunk donated to me by a work colleague, and go back to work (In the Home Office no less), of my face and laughing out loud at absolutely anything!!!!!!!!!!
  12. God save the Queen Sex Pistols
  13. Apparently there is a saying that goes You get better before you get worse, I don't know where it came from.
  14. I saw you in Liverpool many years ago. I was working in Dixons in Bootle New Strand, at the time we were playing Cat Scratch Fever in our store, one of your group members came in and was impressed we went to see CSF a couple of days later and they told us about Led Zed who me and my mate Dave Smith went to see, they wre awsome so much so that I mentioned them on the Led Zeppelin forum not long afo, someone was mentioning Lez Zeppelin and I mentioned Led Zed.
