Re: The VINYL Thread!
The title track is a rather good version of Roky Erickson's "If You Have Ghosts". Produced by Dave Ghrol, it also includes covers of Abba's "I Am A Marionette", Depeche Mode's "Waiting For The Night" and Army Of Lovers' "Crucified".

Ah, so it's a cover album. I didn't know that. Shit, Army of Lovers' Crucified? That was a great track. haha

I listened to Ghost's most recent album and it sounded nothing like King Diamond or Mercyful Fate. It was good, but I think that's not a great comparison to make. It sets up certain expectations that are unfair to Ghost.

Their debut album is the one that many say has a MF meets BOC feel to it. I love both albums, but they sound very different.

Hmmm, I don't know what to say then. That's who I felt (and others too) they sounded like.

Ah yes, BOC too - there's that connection, as well.

I await their cover of "Crucified," because watching the original video by Army of Lovers makes me chuckle. I remember they made fun of it on Beavis and Butthead back in the day. It's a good track but silly ass hell video.

Picked up the second Portishead album. $11.99 on Amazon. The packaging is odd. The album is 50:30, and it spans two discs, at 33 rpm. Side one consists of two songs, totaling 8:47. Why not make it a 45 rpm?

Re: The VINYL Thread!
I can't tell you how many times in college I pointed at the Velvet Underground and Nico album on a record store wall and laughed at the $50 price tag. Go check what they are going for on eBay now.

I just paid a little over $80 for that original issue White Light/White Heat. And sadly, that's not the most I've ever spent on a single record.

I just bought that white UK cover recently - late 70's early 80's.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
Llewyn Davis is now on sale for 5.98 + 4.00 for shipping. It's under $10 total and comes with the Mp3 and poster.
I'm thinking about it………
EDIT - they add state sales tax, so my total is 10.41. Still thinking about it.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
bullmoose.com also has it in stock. $2.99 shipping so saves you $1.
(not sure if theirs comes with the mp3 and print though)
Anyway, I picked up a copy as well. Price is too good to pass up.

Re: The VINYL Thread!
My local record store has a 50 cent room. It gets cleared out and replaced with new stuff every 3 weeks. Thousands of records. I always find good stuff that the owner either misses or doesn't meet his standards.
Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On (original, perfect condition)
Grateful Dead - History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear's Choice)
Santana - S/T (original old Columbia label, spotless)
CSN&Y - Deja Vu (original heavy textured cover)
And Elton John, all original: Goodbye Yellow Brick Rd., Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across the Water

Re: The VINYL Thread!
I probably listen to What's Going On two to three times a month. Easily one of my favorite records. I went for the MFSL version of that one.
