I got a shipping notice from Burning Shed yesterday, hope to have it here in the UK by Friday.
Here in the UK the latest issue of Record Collector magazine includes it in the upcoming releases section and states that it is due out on August 25th.
Very good copies of Olias seem to be easy to get here in the UK. I was browsing in a secondhand shop yesterday and they had three clean looking copies with the inner sleeve etc. for £4 each (about...
Dug out some old favourites on vinyl:
Jan Akkerman - It Could Happen To You
Bruford - Feels Good To Me
Clannad - Legend
Focus - Moving Waves
Genesis - Duke
I've had two doses of the OAZ and, other than feeling very tired a couple of days later, no ill effects whatsoever. Younger friends and colleagues who have had the Moderna vaccine have had a very...
Has anyone mentioned Andy Latimer? (I haven't trawled through all the lists :lol)
I have listened to the first 2 CDs and I have to say that Wilson has done a great job again. The original album sounds so much clearer with lots of details evident that I hadn't noticed before. The...
I just got an email from Amazon to say that it has been dispatched and will arrive by 10 pm this evening. They are very reliable here in the UK so I am sure that it will be getting some air time...
ABWH - so it must have been sometime in 1989. I bought it from Our Price Records, a long defunct music chain in the UK, in Salisbury, just after I purchased my first CD player which lasted until 2019!

I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and bought the full set from ReR as I only had a few Fred albums. The first 50 are signed and numbered by Fred and you get a bonus CD not available elsewhere...
I agree with Boilk, it is a great set and I would recommend it. I know that a lot of people here don't like the new versions of the albums but $35 sounds like a very good deal to me to get the first...
I have ordered quite a lot from them over the last couple of years and they have always been very quick and reliable. in fact, I decided to join the ReR Club in December and received Bob Drake' s new...
Wigwam - Fairyport on purple vinyl and Being on double red vinyl
Coincidentally, I have recently bought 4 early 70s samplers on vinyl (I don't know if any of them are available on CD) as I quite like the sometimes eclectic selection of artists they used to put on...
I don't buy a lot of new vinyl but I have the Meddle and Animals 2016 reissues and they are excellent, much better than some of the dreck that I have paid £20 or more for here in the UK.
I bought Secret Life a few weeks ago in a second hand vinyl shop and I really like it. Its a strange mixture of typical Stevie songs, ambient and classically tinged instrumentals with a bit of world...
I agree, Hour Candle, the sound quality of all of it is excellent, particularly Flying Teapot which always sounded crap until now, even on the original UK vinyl that I used to own (wish I'd kept it...
My first time seeing Gong or Steve Hillage and I was not disappointed. Gong were mesmerising and Steve Hillage was on fire! Great set lists by both bands and I got to hear the The Glorious Om Riff...
Anyone else seen BBT on their mini UK tour? I am a long term fan but this was my first live experience of them and they were excellent.I have not been overly impressed with some of the stuff on the...
I pre-ordered yesterday and didn't get any confirmation so I just e mailed Jonny and he got back to me within five minutes to say that he has my order and will get back to me soon. That's what I call...
Rod Argent - Moving Home, some great Phil Collins work on here.
Jethro Tull, 13th May 1982 at Wembley Arena (the Broadsword tour with the full pirate ship etc.), £7.00 and I still have the ticket!
Sorry I'm a bit late to the neo-prog rumble ;) but I saw Marillion, IQ, Pallas and Pendragon a number of times back in 83/84/85 when they were all part of the "prog revival" in the UK. I think it is...
When I was nine or ten (1975 ish) we used to go to a friends house to play marathon games of Monopoly during the school holidays. For some long forgotten reason we used to play in his older sister's...
Same here, I bought a turntable last year ( I sold the previous one 30 years ago) and rediscovered the pleasures of my vinyl collection which had been languishing in my loft. In the UK there are...
It's Better To Travel - Swing Out Sister
Native Dancer - Wayne Shorter
Got mine yesterday and listened to the remix, it sounds much better to me than the previous remaster. Heavy Horses has never been one of my favourite Tulls but I found it a much more enjoyable listen...
Too many to remember.....Tull about 25 times, Hackett at least 10, Yes, Rush, Camel, Marillion (Fish era only), Genesis, ELP, Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings, IQ, The Enid, John Wetton/Asia, Arena,...
Copies with a signed IA postcard are available from Burning Shed UK (limited to 500). Its £34.99 which is about $47 (plus shipping).
Mine is in black fineliner and has a separate line underneath plus a dot in a different place at the end (in comparison to Progtastic's) so I am pretty sure it is a genuine signature!
mx20, the mastering is excellent to my ears. Not loud, warm sounding, a decent bottom end and no shrill top end. I really like Jakko's new mixes and you can hear so much more detail than you could...
Just got mine (number 1913), haven't had a chance to listen yet but it is a really nicely done package. I only have the first two on CD so looking forward to hearing the others for the first time for...
Aqualung
Broadsword tour (my first ever live gig!)
Tormato ( it didn't put me off :D)
ABWH
And Then There Were Three (didn't put me off either!)
We can't Dance tour
The Wall

Larks Tongues...
I met Ian Anderson backstage back in the 90's and he was quiet but friendly as were all the Tull members. However I did notice that he met fans separately to the rest of the band.
Also, I got a CD...
Listening to it now... Old Aces Die Hard is indeed excellent and would grace any late 70s Tull album! According to the booklet the reason that no one knew it existed was that the tape box was...
Just got mine for £19, thanks John!
On a sort of related note I got to meet Mr. Fripp briefly yesterday evening and, although he did not say much, he was pleasant and humble when I thanked him for all the great music over the years. I...
The Wall
Tormato
Aqualung
Trilogy
LTIA
ATTTWT - all around 1979/80
I'm pretty sure that Roine is "Don Azzaro", it was just a nom de plume jokey thing. Space Revolver's production is credited to "Don and Gepetto Azzaro" so I'm guessing that "Gepetto" is Tomas Bodin....
Camel - Remote Romance, trying (too hard) for a hit......
Black and White is my favourite, I remember getting it on vinyl with a free single containing one of my favourite cover versions of all time, Walk On By (....just going for a stroll in the trees...!)
If you like jazzy soul with a heavy dose of funk you will love their albums. John Paul "Bluey" Maunick, their leader, producer, main composer and guitarist is a master of the genre. He usually uses a...
Firth, I think you missed bob-32-116's rather subtle joke!;)
Tormato :D ... it blew my mind and I never looked back!
This doesn't exactly fit the thread exactly but I met my best prog buddy through teaching his son science! He mentioned that his dad liked Hackett, IQ, Spock's etc, we got into conversation at the...
I just dug out my original Seven Stories cassette, the sound quality is dire but it brings back great memories! I wonder how many of these are still around? The Seven Stories into 98 versions are...
I have the double vinyl of Nine in a Pond in a plain white sleeve. It was only on sale when IQ toured as support to Magnum in 1984. I bought mine at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester and I distinctly...
If you want to go really out on a limb how about Could It Be Magic by Barry Manilow? Nearly 7 minutes long, based on classical music, Moog interlude, symphonic finish..... ;)
Got mine with the signed card from Ant yesterday, lovely package but the CDs are an absolute bugger to get out of the box!! Any tips Vicky?
I got my first player (a Denon) in 1989 and the first three CDs I bought were:
ABWH
Chick Corea Band - Light Years
Pat Metheny Group - Letter From Home
I still have two of them, guess which one I...
Light Years was the first CD I ever bought in 1988(?) and I still have it (unlike many others...) I know its cheesy Chick but I still love it!
