KRSDarwin Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 This (Australian) band has come across my radar several times recently and I received this album as a gift for my birthday this week. I really enjoyed the album. Some of it was reminiscent of the Commitments. The Tesky Brothers, Run Home Slow 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janjuggler Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hi All, Ayreon, Electric Castle Live. This is my second listen to the 3 LPs since Wednesday, SQ is excellent and the feeling is almost like being at the concert. JJ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you mentioned Herb Alpert earlier, he was the founder of A & M originally, so no surprise he’d get a gig for his records on his own label.

April Snow Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Lady Gaga Chromatica Limited Edition Silver 2020 JB Exclusive picked up in their 20% off sale on Wednesday Shame it has not got a jacket - shall have to sort out something there, it is a flawless pressing though and sounds incredible - but would have been more perfect if they released it with a proper LP sleeve and not like a Picture Disc in a crappy plastic sleeve.

Full Range Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 That is very unusual packaging So it does not have a record cover - And is packaged in just a see through folder thing ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep same way picture discs are. It is sad too, because the artwork for this album is amazing and should have been put on the vinyl releases. https://www.discogs.com/Lady-Gaga-Chromatica/release/15388646 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But l always have a listen to most of your posts, especially prog artists. So l tuned into Spotify for a listen to this album. First track, l say to myself; man that vocalist sounds like Fish. I was so certain l had to google it. Yep it's him alright, guest vocalist. So I'm a fan already. I'm halfway through the album and I'm really really liking it. So that's another artist to add to my growing list. So mate, l thank you...unfortunately my wallet does not. Cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janjuggler Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hi @April Snow With regard to the Lady Gaga album, you could go to Officeworks and have them print a copy of the cover on 220GSM paper at 30cm sides, and use an antistatic sleeve for the album JJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I think you would really like it. It is Mikael... from Opeth and Steven Wilson. You probably gave me the heads up on this one as well... so l owe you $10.
