I was looking at the Symbol furniture recently, but thankfully, they didn't have anything that really fit my space/needs, so I didn't need to find a way to justify it, but I do like a bit of their stuff.

recstar24 1,246 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 This is an impex reissue of early Columbia era Sinatra, and historically was his first album to feature him on all swing, uptempo tunes. I have never heard Frank sound this real! Impex knocked it out of the park mastered from original master tape, gatefold cover and some of the best liner notes in booklet form I’ve ever read. $35! Insane value. Please buy now. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

swt61 10,134 Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Won't actually be spinning it until Monday, but picked this up on Amazon. This album and Nick Hayward really influanced my direction for years to come. I still love those British groups with those smooth, crooner voices. Spandau Ballet, ABC, Style Council, etc... Something about those industrial cities that birthed such amazing talent. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a fan of several Manchester groups who were NOT necessarily smooth, crooner voices (Joy Division, Chameleons, Smiths, Fall, Durutti Column, Buzzcocks, etc.) I still thoroughly agree!

Grahame 10,521 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 "Great creativity comes from great hardship" As a form of escapism from the reality of the times ( no job, no future) - form a band with your mates. And you could do it "on the dole" https://m.huffingtonpost.co.uk/horace-trubridge/class-and-the-arts_b_8647352.html Plus, it's grim up north. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_Grim_Up_North Although, sometimes, it's not all bad 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(they’re backordered everywhere so just wanted to make sure you didn’t kill money on a bootleg or something) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morphsci 5,815 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 I think Elusive Disc is above board. It did say backordered so I am not sure what that will actually mean tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
