I buy from any (and every!) shop that sells vinyl! We're lucky in Reading, in that we have at least 4 shops that sell 2nd-hand vinyl, but I also trek to Oxford (Avid Records) and London (loads to choose from!).

Cert,

I bought "Nantucket Sleighride" at the time of its release, and there were no photos of the band or inserts. Nice gatefold sleeve by Pappalardi's wife though(who incidently later shot him!

I just found out that the 2 photos and booklet came with a limited number of the first pressings - lucky me!

Back in 2001 Christmas, Supersister's second album "To the Highe$t Bidder": two years later, I got the CD that compiles their first two albums, but I'm keeping my vinyl anyway.

I bought an interesting LP today.

Gunther Schickert Samtvogel - its a stunning krautrcok LP in the Ar Machines, Ashra, mold - lots of echo-plex guitar and dreamy synths and squiggles - beautiful LP.

Last slab of vinyl before Christmas, honest...

Killing Joke's debut album.

Whats this........Killing Joke on the prog forum?

I still have the Change/Requiem 7". Class. Play it loud!

I know Jazz Coleman was quite prolific but I never took the chance to listen to more of his stuff.

And Joy Division too...
