  1. Hoylake Walt. Not far from me as a matter of fact. A tough links course ( of course) near Liverpool. Who do ya fancy?

    less than ten minutes away from me.
  2. I'm very sorry for your loss. Best wishes to you and the family ♥

    Dreadful JTM, dreadful. My thoughts are with you both. I miss my mum terribly - and it's been 13 odd years

    Condolences to you and your family, JTM. May she Rest In Peace.

    I'm so sorry for your loss, JTM. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time.

    So sorry to hear, JTM. Best thoughts to you and your family

    Think of the good times and the smiles you had during the good times. My best to you and your family

    Thank you all for your kind words, I wish I could say more, Thank you again.

  3. I didn't want to start a new topic with this, but do you recommend playing these remastered additions on your stereo system with an Equalizer, whether it's playing the cds or vinyl?

    No no no. True hifi amps don't even have tone controls, if they do response from them is minimal (like my ancient Arcam Delta 90). It's best to listen flat, that's the way the producer intended the music to be listened to. As for equalizers what a joke, just an unnecessary manufactures way of getting money out of people who like lot's of buttons and sliders to play with. The less components in the chain the better.

  4. Well I've had all this week dedicated to listening to the Led Zeppelin two CD deluxe editions loving every minute of them, but this coming Monday the 9th of June it will be time for a change.

    This will be the day when I finally get to hear The Who's finest moment the whole of Quadrophenia on a pure audio Blu-Ray disc in 5.1 surround sound. A while back we had a teaser of eight tracks in 5.1 on the Quadrophenia super deluxe release, which was great but now at last the surround mix will be complete.

    The Quadrophenia 5.1 is only one disc in five disc set the other discs being a Blu-Ray film of The Who performing Quadrophenia in London, a two CD set and DVD of the same live show also, a thirty two page booklet all in a ten inch tin replicating a Vespa scooter headlight with some other bollox crap thrown in, a button badge, a sticker (useless crap).

    The Who have done the surround sound thing twice now with this and Tommy which was done years ago.

    This only leads me to think when the fuck Jimmy Page is going to give the Zeppelin catalogue the surround sound treatment, 'tis long overdue, when the current reissue campaign was announced some eighteen months or so ago 5.1 was what I expected, somehow though I doubt JP could be arsed doing it.

  5. ^^^ Nah. Imo the first album "Big Moon Ritual" is by far my favourite followed by the second album "The Magic Door. The latest offering " Phosphoresent Harvest" comes in at number three. The track "Burn Slow" is pretty good, but the rest of it hasn't quite gelled with me yet

  6. Ha Ha I did the same thing in my local newsagents when I was a bit Chinese Eyed which brought on a fit of the giggles when I realised what I had said. Lenny the news shop owner looked at me like I was a right loony.

    Yes, on reflection I have been a little generous to the directioners but then back in the day (1975ish) half a sixteenth was only a quid deal.

  7. The news that those cosmetic, cartoon popsters One Direction have been caught on video having a Joint in Peru. This is as bad as it gets for us 'erbists. I have to seriously consider my position regarding weed.......

    There, I have considered it. Pass the skins Mrs CP? ;):lol:

    That's half a sixteenth of a degree for them on the credibility meter then, which gives them a total of a half a sixteenth of a degree of credibility.

  8. Mick Wall, author of When Giants Walked the Earth, weighs in. Well said IMO:

    Mick Wall also said in his WGWTE book says......"Taurus" a short instrumental which does contain a brief passage that bears a passing resemblance to the opening lines of "Stairway"........If Page..... was influenced by the guitar chords on "Taurus" what he did was the equivalent of taking the wood from a shed and building it into a cathedral.................

    I first heard "Taurus" almost forty years ago, I have always thought the two songs shared similarities, not that they were the same just similar.... Do I think Page should be sued? Of course not.

  9. there are many ways to find your inner peace, criticizing another human being with only the negative points, shows a very shallow human being as we have positives `n` negatives to. there are always two half`s to the whole. . . its the YIN/YANG. . . wow this is really getting deep thinking, is there life on other planets, which was first the chicken or the egg, does life begin at 40!!!.

    is there an after life. where does your soul go after you die, is there a heaven or hell, I`ve gotten more questions than I`ve found answers. . . seeking an knowledge should never be easy.

    otherwise we would never learn anything. . .

  10. My PC fried today, hope stuff on my HD can be recovered. Thankfully my bootleg downloads are on external HDs. Still I'm going to have to shell out a few hundred quid for a new tower. Now if my missus will go halves I/we'll get an Apple Mac.

  11. sometimes I`ve found myself asking, being asked. what makes you.....YOU.

    like most its ease looking at the + sides of ourselves but this question is asking for the whole you. that's just not what I`d like to do, but than again I`d like to find the answer for myself.... to see what others may see...

    Wow.....no emocions..... You must be on a downer.....Anyway take CPs advice "Don't think about it"
