Unlike you though, vinyl is pretty much all I play here when I'm going to sit down and listen and I could play 5 - 10 albums a day I guess and if I was photographing and posting every one of those albums here, I'd be doing nothing but that all day! I like to post albums that I think others might be interested in or that I can recommend to someone that may not have that particular album in their collection.................glad you're enjoying the jazz too, but I'm only a novice with jazz compared to John @scuzzii, but I note you're not saying I've got you into country music yet! Cheers, Keith Thanks Keith. You have nailed it (me) exactly. Country music mate, rather poke my eyes out with a burnt stick. Up there with my other 3 no's; death metal, rap and R & B. Having said that, l did flirt briefly with alt country. Did like the album Strangers Almanac by Whiskytown which l have and l don't mind Lucinda Williams and l listened to a lot of Wilco 20 years ago. So if this is defined as Country... than guilty as charged m'lord. But can't stand Country and Western. But to each their own. Currently listening to Roger Water's Us + Them (Live in Amsterdam) on Spotify. Prog is my speed these days. He might be a sad old bastard. But he is a brilliant sad old bastard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier over breakfast, Drums Between The Bell, Eno and Holland JJ l feel your pain JJ. I ordered a Nick Drake cd from the UK back in February. After several emails back and forth, they only initiated a refund early September. Anyway it turned up last week, (nearly 8 months in transit) in a Aus Post plastic bag with a label on it saying this is how it arrived in Australia. It was a didgipak and absolutely soaked. I think it must have been at the bottom of the ship's bilge. When l opened it up the cd was snapped in 3 places. Had a bit of a chuckle over that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, l have been refunded on 1 and on 2 others they have sent a 2nd copy. None of the afore mentioned have turned up, except a a Nick Drake cd which l have just posted that conundrum in a response to JJ. l am only ordering from Amazon now, till things improve. Wasn't a fan, but they have been brilliant in the last couple of months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed a good clean though as paper inners were used. T'was me indeed John. It is on my list (getting longer by the day) of a must get. Not going to buy any more music this month and maybe next. The bank account has taken a hammering of late. So far l have not succumbed. But l still have 7 or 8 still to arrive via the dreaded Covid Postal Service, so that will have to suffice. Cheers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Ken, there’s no explaining poor taste in music I guess! I don’t own too many death metal or rap albums either, but I appreciate that those genres have a huge following and there must be something happening there that’s pretty appealing. I can’t imagine my music without country music because it feels real and in all honesty, that’s my choice anyway and although I might not listen to another genre of music, I won’t bag it just because it’s not for me.

Yes Amazon are pretty good right now as they use mainly Fed Ex & DHL if ordering from US - I have quite a few things coming from UK that are not available anywhere else so hopefully as I have paid for registered and tracking they will get priority. I believe Australia Post will give preference over those parcels. It is about time though they got the world moving a little with deliveries to be honest, after all the shipping is not cheap either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
