Sweet! You’ll have to share your impressions of the Frampton set. (Please.)

I played the first record and just about to flip the second to side two. First impression: sounds amazing so far! I can't compare to an original, and obviously YMMV as to whether you need these over originals, but Intervention Records doesn't disappoint once again. Gotta Groove pressed these and they did an excellent job. The records are flat and quiet. The box is just the right size, sturdy enough to hold the records but not too large - it's just a tad wider than a MOFI one-step box, but for 3 records. The tip-on jackets are beautiful too. Very happy so far, and I haven't even gotten to the best record of the three yet.

Here’s a fun one I found today:
I know most likely won’t find this interesting but I thought it was neat. Today at my local I found a sealed 1967 copy of Teenage Rebellion (AKA Mondo-Teeno) Original Motion Picture Sound. It was one of scared straight Reefer Madness type “documentaries” kinda like a late 60s version of Larry Clark’s Kids. The whole soundtrack is only 18+ minutes total one side being the actual music featured in the film (which is surprisingly good) and the other side featuring excerpts of narration from the movie, which is hilariously overwrought messaging.
Anyways stuff like this is why I love collecting records, it’s just good weird fun.

Very cool in so many ways, and a piece of history.

An order arrived from Juno. I think that's everything that was actually in transit coming my way at this moment. For now.
Some background: so I was drinking a few drinks with the folks in the vinyl spin challenge thread last Saturday, and one thing led to another while I was surfing the web and I ended up buying tickets to go see Depeche Mode in Montreal in November with the family. Then I got to thinking that I should fill-out some holes in my DM collection when it comes to post-Violator material. So that led to me making an order on Juno. And here we are. No regerts.

That's exactly what I had in mind, though it seems I actually mis-spelled my mis-spelling.

Not at the moment. Maybe I'll eventually get it, but to me it's one of their weaker LPs (though I could listen to anything they do). Playing The Angel and the recent Memento Mori are both much stronger IMO, if you haven't tried them.

I found MP’s website but couldn’t find the pin on there unfortunately but after a bit of searching I was able to find one at a synth store in LA called Perfect Circuit. Ended up ordering a cool T-Shirt from their store too so I’d consider it a win.

I didn’t care for Angel. Mori is a fine release considering the events behind it. Not sure if I’ll pick that up though.

Let me know how that Yacoub sounds. Checking my local for a copy today, otherwise likely picking up a copy from Discogs.

I will try to remember, god only knows when I will get to it. It was pressed by Gotta Groove so I imagine it sounds pretty good.

Got my delivery of all the records that we’re waiting for me in the UK. 26 albums and one doubler arrived safe and well in Oz. This is going to take me a while to go through!

Minor pro tip: I'm up to 8 of the Depeche Mode reissues from Rhino and they're all quite excellent, with quiet vinyl and solid mastering (maybe Songs of Faith And Devotion is a little weaker than the rest, but I think that's the source material). Just make sure you get Record Industry pressings - this is why I ordered from Europe. I've had a copy of Violator pressed at Rainbo and although it's the same master, it's much inferior to the Record Industry pressing I upgraded it with (without counting the noise).
