I got Let’s Dance by David Bowie for myself for my birthday, but I haven’t opened the package or anything yet because I want to make sure none of my friends are giving it to me for my birthday also (I haven’t seen them yet) ahdn_george_06  

Update: I was safe to open it a-hard-days-night-john-6

So a few months ago I finally got…
– Bella Donna (1981) and
The Wild Heart (1983) by Stevie Nicks
Tusk (1979) by Fleetwood Mac
a-hard-days-night-paul-7

I got

Barrett (1970) by Syd Barrett
Wet Dream (1978) by Richard Wright (yes, only maybe a week before they announced that Steven Wilson would be remixing it and it’s coming out later this month a-hard-days-night-paul-7a-hard-days-night-paul-10paul-mccartney-facepalm_gif
The Joshua Tree (1987) and All That You Can’t Leave Behind (2000) by U2
Say You Will (2003) by Fleetwood Mac (something of an impulse buy after randomly getting obsessed with a couple of the songs, then watching a making-of documentary)
The Endless River (2014) by Pink Floyd

I’ve really been rounding out my collection, sort of filling in the gaps with albums that I have either put off purchasing for one reason or another, or consider less important/lower priority. Lots of latter-day or solo projects here.

It looks like a lot, but I buy a lot of super cheap beat-up used copies of CDs on eBay because I am Cheap(TM)a-hard-days-night-john-6

…sensible! apple01 I’d estimate that 65-70% of my lifetime of purchases (vinyl, 8-track, cassette, CD) have been previously-owned ones, better to spread em around cheap than to waste resources pressing new x-pensive ones! 

…And so, I’m happy for whoever now has my own old CD copy of “Belladonna” which I ditched before a 2017 move. (Still got the 2Cd “Tusk” tho!)

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

I’ve never been an audiophile in the sense of cleaning my LPs regularly with fluid with a special dusting implement, much less keeping them in pristine sleeves etc.  Somehow, I’ve survived!
