I was a bit hurt because I bought that from TRC's bandcamp and I guess they weren't around during covid to manage the orders and had oversold that variant. I was a bitter about it but seeing your pic made me realize it would just end up looking black on my platter. I just went ahead and bought the black version now. Fantastic album!

I do like the 80s look of the preamp though and the fins on the front of the power amp are pretty damn good looking too imo! From what I’ve heard that’s a pretty well regarded combo that people are still buying/refurbishing/upgrading, I’ve seen some high end refurb/parts companies in the UK that offer services on the power amp part. Also there has to be something pretty damn nice about getting use and enjoyment of gear that’s been handed down to you!

I don't think they'd ever be judged sexy but they sound bloody great. I imagine they cost the old man a packet back in the day so I'm v happy to have them (and his old CD player, which I sadly v rarely play)

Finally got my hands on this one. What a powerful album.

I bet they did! I remember my dad buying his pioneer cd system back in 1991 and as a kid thinking that £500 back then was utter fortune!
The sound is all that matters in the end and if they still sound great that’s fantastic to still be getting use out of them!

As annoying as that is, the music makes up for it! Its a good colour when you hold it but certainly darkens when on the platter. You made a good choice going for the black pressing anyway, its superb!

Its the same one but I didn’t buy it off her website, it was sold out there when I ordered. I bought it from www.recordstore.co.uk and yes I got a shipping notification last Thursday when it shipped from England.

Usually I keep the volume at a level where I can still kind of hear what my kids are up to, but you really just gotta let this one eat.
Incidentally, this one surprisingly showed up slipped into the box with Continuum. And it’s the flattest record I’ve received from VMP in I don’t know how long. They should maybe just ship two albums at a time?

Special cut on side D - Track D2 ends in a silent locked groove. The needle needs to be lifted and placed back on to play track D3, a live cover of Metallica's "One".

@Turbo's Recommended 2020 Releases
I've been discovering a lot of great new music this year. These are 2020 releases that I've been spinning a lot.
#1 The Buttertones "Jazz Hound"
#2 Baxter Dury "The Night Chancers"
#3 Jessie Ware "What's Your Pleasure?"
#4 Yves Tumor "Heaven To A Tortured Mind"
#5 Sammy Brue "Crash Test Kid"
#6 Sorry "925"
#7 Destroyer "Have We Met?"
#8 Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes "What Kinda Music"
Collaborative album by musicians from the London jazz scene. Blends jazz elements with electronics, rap and vocals into a form of modern psychedelic jazz-funk. The album starts with smooth vocal jazz tracks and evolves into looser jazz-funk by the end. This is one I've been gravitating back to for those early morning spins. Standouts are "Sensational", "Nightrider", "Kyiv", "Last 100" and "What Kinda Music".
