zotzVinyl copies, new, three quid plus P&P, here.
They've still got some copies of the boxed vinyl version of the last Shellac LP. I'm sure I was thinking recently about someone who could do with a copy of that. And who was it I offered to lend my copy of His Dark Materials at the weekend? I've clean forgotten.

Date: 2002-12-04 06:11 pm (UTC)I'd really like to find a copy of PWEI covering "Everything That Rises Must Converge."
I've heard it once, and I know where a single copy resides, but it's nowhere I can get, and wasn't for sale, and I wouldn't steal from a radio station, no matter how much I might covet their records.

Date: 2002-12-05 06:03 am (UTC)Oh, MP3 would definitely do. I've just never seen it in any other format, and it seemed unlikely that anyone would have encoded their vinyl...
That said, my actual answer is "Yes, please." 8)
Re: spodding
Date: 2002-12-05 06:04 am (UTC)I've only ever seen that single on vinyl...
I've checked CD releases, but they didn't seem to have it.
If it's on CD in the UK, CURSE YOU! Yet another way in which British music releases are VASTLY SUPERIOR to those in the US!
Alas, for I live in a benighted third-world country.

Re: spodding
Date: 2002-12-05 07:57 am (UTC)I'd better hit the PWEIpile this evening and check the authoritative vinyl.
Yes, it was a cover. (given the PWEI 12" was called 'the covers EP'...) Another fine 80s record that doesn't get played anymore.
Re: spodding
Date: 2002-12-05 08:21 am (UTC)Indeed, why is there room for the likes of bloody Sinitta and AHa at 80s nights but not for any good music from the 80s?

Re: spodding
Date: 2002-12-05 09:14 am (UTC)I'd guess that the numbers of 'cheese or death' people and Hardcore Peelites are about the same. Both are outnumbered by the set of people who go along to School Disco and its analogs who just want 'a bit of a giggle'. So what you get at an 80s night is about six hours of '80s greatest hits' compilations bolted together, because that'll keep most people happy. If the DJs stray into serious cheese territory, nobody really notices because no bugger can remember what the hell charted anyway.
However, if things become a little more Peel-friendly, people start moaning about it being 'just another bloody goth night'. Which is the fault of goffnites in general for leaning on the Usual Suspects of 80s floorfillers. For instance, I understand that Ian Carter's April set @ Laughtons didn't best please the cheeselets because it was solid alternachart (ie, bands you'd see on ToTP and the NME) stuff.
Personally, I can't think of a DJ who's more likely to keep me on the floor well past the point of collapse than young Ian. But that's probably because we both hold 'Male Stripper' and 'Transmission' in equally high regard.
Anyway. I look forward to the upcoming alterna-80s night here in Bristol in a couple of weeks. Sounds like it's going to be mostly t-shirt indie, but that's no bad thing at all.

Re: spodding
Date: 2002-12-05 09:48 am (UTC)Our views correspond strongly in this regard.
The thing is that all of this '80s shite is still shite' makes me go entirely non-linear. I'll never be able to listen to the awful racket that 'goths' think is appropriate for an 80s night, and while some of the people who DJ such things are friends, I still want to jump up and down on their CDs in a frenzy of righteous hatred.
So I'd better leave it there before I start throwing things.

Re: spodding
Date: 2002-12-05 11:46 am (UTC)While I may be able to acquire a turntable with some ease (or fix one of the two or three broken ones in the basement), a copy of that single, vinyl or otherwise, has eluded me.

Re: spodding
Date: 2002-12-05 04:52 pm (UTC)...I played it. Once. Then I left the school and the station and was sad.

A classic.
