That takes me back..Mikki & Griff toured with Lonny Donegan.. liked the
Lonny bit :-))


Heh heh! Not my cup o' tea I assure you, but I have to admit I liked his
'Cumberland Gap'...!! ;-)



At just under a quid, they were the 'Naxos' of their day and I'm
delighted to have the ones I've got. (Wacky or not!)


Me too, if there was nothing too tasty in the charity shops I'd always go
for MfP's, they used to be about 50p to £1 so ok by me. Now the shops have
got wise & charging daft prices...


Which has achieved the rather nice double of killing vinyl flow both in to
and out of these places....




Classics For Pleasure (CFP) is a slightly different ballgame - many of
them (I *suspect*) are reissues of more costly albums that were
previously distributed as 'top line, non budget' albums. I have an
enormous number of these and they are mostly quite excellent. Once again,
an inexpensive way for some pore ole soul to build a decent library for a
reasonable outlay!!


Yes, its good fun comparing the costly albums with CfP :-)


I mean I'm sure it's the exact same pressing in some cases!




Let's have some fun - email me with your (classical) Heart's Desire (Nos,
1 and 2) and I'll see how close I can get to it for you and will do you a
nice little silver disk..... ;-)


Now that's just plain daft ;-)


Absolutely not - a good CD recording of an LP is damn near as good as the
real thing!! (Didn't anyone tell you that? ;-)

Plus it gets to save stylus wear, if it's a 'frequent flyer'....!! :-)



Swarf, sharp edges? No we don't want them, but I'm not sure the curly
ginger hairs you get on a lot of charity shop vinyl is a much better
alternative!! ;-)


What do you expect if you buy bonking music :-)


Stoppit......
