I also have 6 on the way. Too good to miss, and we all know what excellent packaging and service to expect from Chris too.

I just bought Leonard Cohen's double LP of his recent world tour, "Songs From The Road". My wife and I were fortunate enough to attend one of those concerts (in Sydney). One of the greatest night's entertainment I've been lucky enough to enjoy!

Picked up my first order of six records. Bullet proof packaging. Just ordered a couple more. The missus will see it on the internet banking, so I'm off to do the washing up now.

Yep, I became a Cohen fan after a Brisbane concert. The missus is a long term fan. It was a special night. I've got the record & the dvd.

Burn to Shine and Zuma


Is Zuma a new or remastered pressing or just the original?

And what can you tell me about 'Burn to Shine' as I am a huge BH fan and have only got all his CDs.

Honestly.... I have no idea. I bought them because I don't have either in any format. Sorry I can't be of more assistance

Zuma is a repressing of the original. no album remasters past Harvest yet. I would admit having the archiv remasters of One The Beach, Tonight's the Night and Zuma would be awesome.

TT is right Zuma is a German repressing of the original. The Ben Harper LPs are all US pressings and done pretty nicely too.

Man, it's a good thing that there are people like Chris out there catering for our needs. For a bushie, like meself, these items aren't readily available & the tendency is to go overboard a bit 'cause you're figuring that the more you buy, the more you save on postage. Actually saving money by adding more & more & more to every online order. The missus will be proud of my economic rationalising.
