Record Store Day 2016 Haul

So, April 16th finally rolled around. The makeshift Christmas day for record collectors, I have never been to one before so I was understandably incredibly excited. My alarm went off at 8 and me and my Girlfriend started to get ready as we left just before 9. Now, being lucky enough to reside in Birmingham whilst at University I had the choice of 2 record stores to go to, my Girlfriend had the great idea of splitting up so as to get the best chance of buying what I wanted. I went to Swordfish records which opened at 9:30 and she went off to Ignite records which opened at 10. Swordfish Records So I rocked up to the queue of about 20-30 people outside, all obviously very excited at what could possibly be inside the store. There was a certain essence of magic at seeing these people of all ages almost bouncing with ecstasy (and coldness) at the thought of picking up whatever was on their personal lists. I had a few interesting conversations in the queue about things like th...

My Vinyl Collection: Part 4

And we move into Part 4 where we are still firmly lodged in the B's, and if you haven't read Part 3 then I suggest you do (Especially if you're a Beatles fan). So carry on reading and enjoy looking through My Vinyl Collection The Beatles - 1962-1966 I picked this up in Holland because it was only 12 euros and this is an absolutely definitive collection of Beatles songs, not to mention the price at which I got it is an amazing steal. Plus I love the voer of the band looking down what appears to be a stairwell, it's just synonymous with the band looking down on their competition (Yes, I vote Beatles over Rolling Stones everytime when that age old debate comes up). I think the black and white photo of the band with loads of children pering through railings is a weird photo indeed. Anyway, the pressing is somewhat mediocre, sometimes the songs sound a little bit off which is a stark contrast to the individual albums that I have. This makes it probably my le...

My Vinyl Collection: Part 2

In Part 1 of My Vinyl Collection we went through some classic albums, if you haven't checked that out then definitely have a look at that through here . In this section we will be finishing off the A's and venturing into the B's, This ones a must read if you're an Arctic Monkeys fan. Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare This artwork is the most annoying out of all the Arctic Monkeys because it's the only one that actually contains any band logo on it, which is really annoying because it looks out of place when hung on the wall with the other covers. It is, however, great artwork nonetheless. If you open up the gatefold you are met with this really nice artwork, which I think may be what the inside of the house on the cover looks like, it has really cool 60's feel to it and it just presents itself differently to the artwork on the cover. The record is pressed really nicely and I have no qualms with that whatsoever. The sleeve notes ar...
