I would if it wasn't quarter to midnight!

If I can get my butt out of bed early enough tomorrow morning, I most definitely will call them. I never would have thought of that, so thank you!

I just bought The Wild Heart on vinyl, it sounds so good!!! I will have to purchase RAL next!

Also, I am having trouble getting logged into the Nicksfix, has anyone else had trouble today? I am getting a Proxy message.....

Ok... so I went to Half Price Books today... and all I found was a beat up Tusk for $8. Yeah no. But... I went next door to the music store and found oodles and gobs of used FM/Stevie records! I bought the White Album, Rumours, Tusk, Live, Mirage, WH, and Tango. My Stevie wall will be quite contented when (and if) I actually get it set up!

I remember when cds first came out,they sounded like crap,and the mini artwork sucks,you need an magnafind glass to see it. i was so pissed off. now I.m glad to see some artist are bringing back the vinyls.The digital age now with mp3's,flac's are great , but if the harddrive ,memory chip crashes and dies out ,your are dead in the water,your mp3's are gone forever,or less have a Data Recovery team to extract the data from the HD or the Memorystick for a kings ransom of approx $1500.00,if posible,Vinyl will be still here forever with the homey sound with some snap,crackle ,pop.

I mostly just gaze at The Ledge these days, but I love talking about vinyl...

If you're kinda new to it, what you'll find is that some of the records (Bella Donna, Wild Heart and Mirage in particular, since none of those have ever been remastered) sound AMAZING on vinyl, because they were created and mastered to be heard that way. In fact, you haven't heard Mirage until you've heard the record through headphones or a good set of speakers. The CD is crap.

Bella Donna is so in need of a remaster for CD, it's ridiculous. But it still sounds great on vinyl.

Happy hunting!
