I have the Japanese CD OBI version of it and it is one of my favourite CD Maxi singles - I just ordered this weekend the Japanese RSD repress of it on Vinyl - shall post it on here when it comes, fingers crossed it will be a good pressing as it is green vinyl.................or else I will be back on Discogs getting the original pressing Good choice for a Sunday Arvo Sure does, track B1. Great sounding pressing it is too. I'm playing everything in Alphabetical order (all 2500 records in my collection) and by chance I'm up to Madonna. I just finished playing all my Madness 12" singles but I assumed they wouldn't get too much love on here so I didn't post Up soon, Malcolm McLaren - round the outside, round the outside.....

Hey Man. Nice one. No, I didn't know it wasn't recorded at Hammersmith, fancy that. Do you know why it was named as such? Cool that you saw them in England, home turf, home crowd. I saw them at the Central Coast Leagues Club at Gosford ( five minutes from home ) in 1984, I was in year 11. The old days of fake, paper ID's, and I still remember how nervous I was going in, in case they caught me and I wouldn't see the band. There were about 50 people in a 2,000 capacity room. Motorhead were now a four piece, and Man!!! They played as though the room were full. It was the loudest gig I have ever been to, my ears were ringing for three days. We were also front and centre, we were able to talk to the band and Wurzel gave me a beer ( although the smartarse shook it up first ). I had made my own leather, studded, wrist bands for the night, and a much older, hot chick tried to untie them and rip me off, I don't know what she was thinking, she must have been pretty pissed. One of my most treasured, gig memories. Cheers. Ant. Edited February 16, 2020 by BuzzzFuzzz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: Madonna, Immaculate Collection I purchased it at Sanity in Darwin (Palmerston). I don’t usually shop there and it was the first time I have seen vinyl in there. The store person said they had just come in. I think the price was between $49 and $55. Below photo is the pressing details from Discogs.

It is really good bang for your buck this album. To compliment it I would like to suggest Madonna's "Something to Remember" as it will give you her greatest hits ballads. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll leave you with this as a start point - you can google from there: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Quality_Authenticated I like MQA, Hi-Rez, CD, Vinyl... whatever sounds the best. Sometimes it’s MQA. ^all the above is IMO... *backs away slowly; maintains eye contact* Edited February 16, 2020 by furtherpale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Quality Authenticated, a way to fold down and then unfold music that many believe gives greater resolution and quality. You have to have a MQA decoder or ‘endpoint’. At least Tidal has MQA tracks which can be accessed through Roon. Personally I find MQA decoded via my Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ as good as or better than SACD on most occasions (but not universal) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Snow Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Oh OK, the best I do are FLAC with digitial files on the Mac Book. Thankfully most of my Prince bootlegs are FLAC. Regarding Tidal: My internet is so crappy where I am that I cannot even stream Spotify properly without it dropping out so would not even attempt Tidal. *sigh* NBN coming - but do not hold much hope for that either. Funny enough Netlflix works - but SBS catchup also drops out - frustrating ......... Thanks for the explanation.

Janjuggler Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hi All, Om, God Is Good, Side 1 is Sub-continent inspired, with sitars and bells, then gets more Western influenced about halfway through the track. Side 2 has more of a psychedelic style to it, still with a Sub-continent feel in places. JJ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Accordions are the butt of about as many jokes as banjos, bagpipes and violas (never understood the viola thing, do you have to be in an orchestra to get it?), but it's an amazing instrument. I was prompted to appreciate it on a different level a few years ago when I first heard it used in a jazz setting. Its range, both in pitch and tone/texture, is pretty extraordinary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
