And he says it very very slowly.

I always watch his videos on 2x speed. Gets me there faster.

This clip is basically what it feels like going from any YouTube reviewer (Tito) to 45 guy...

Yeah the box sets were all AAA. The first 3 and a bit anyway. I don’t know if the late 80s and early 90s stuff was recorded on tape or digitally. It’s what caused the dip in volume that was the error with Heroes in box 3. After the complaints they went back and digitally fixed it for the replacement disc.

How can I tell if I have the original or corrected Heroes in my box? Only by listening?

I think there only one pressing of the box. All versions had the edit. You had a certain time to claim an unedited version and then all future pressings of the stand alone album would be the edited version

Don't tell me where it is... I never really noticed it so I think it's best if I live in ignorance on this.

With all the talk of Sticky Fingers, I took a punt on a UK 1st press from eBay. Listed as 'Plays great, minimal surface noise, but with bit of a warp.'

Just arrived, looks to have some fair scratches on one side, I'm hoping 'plays great' doesn't mean when using as a frisbee.

So what exactly does "punt" mean to you dudes over there?

 

[Joe Mac]

So what exactly does "punt" mean to you dudes over there?

Litterally? A big kick or one of those boats.

Figuratively? Take a chance.

 

[Andy]

It means many things but in this context take a chance or gamble.

I think this is where the word punter comes from, but is now used in different contexts

 

[Jbraswell]

Completely opposite to US then.
Punt means to pass on making a decision on something.

 

[Selaws]

To take a punt is to have a go. Or there’s punt meaning a type of boat but I’m going with the first one in this case

 

[Selaws]

Looks like New Land are releasing the first in a box set series next week as part of a sister label.

It was also our currency prior to the euro…

This all gets back to the REAL football logic.
Punt the ball to the other team. Don't go for a 1st down when it's 4th down.

I think it’s also used in our football, punt would be a long, aimless kick upfield so that kinda translates to taking a chance or placing a bet.

Edit: although scratch that the dictionary says it came from the French “ponte” which it seems to say has some kinda of gambling connotation in terms of acting against the bank.

This is why I come to N&G, hot etymological talk on regional slang

Definitely love hearing how slang came into common parlance. Especially when is has a very different meaning somewhere else
