Amazing. I was going to edit my post because it looked like I was implying that your first system was as cheap as mine. That's a great system you put together at 19!

To Bring You My Love is arguably her best work and, in my opinion, the most fun to listen to in terms of sonics. Agree with you, don’t know how they were able to make all that overmodulation sound so clean, almost natural. Just proves it can done. I also bought Illusions On A Double Dimple when it came out. Got a cheap promo DJ copy. Remember it sounding really good, comparable to my ELP stuff... A Hot Stamper, maybe? It’s buried in the archives somewhere, I’ll try to find it. Probably damaged because, like you, I was using my first system. Handed down to me by my sister. One of those General Electric suitcase systems with detachable speakers. Thought it sounded great at the time but I had to replace the cheap stylus every 2 months or so. Vinyl killer. |
Yeah, it opens up into a shield shape, might be a replica of the original UK United Artists gatefold but I'm not positive of that. And not that you asked, but I'm not really impressed with the sound. Big fan of Wilson's work but not this time. Sounds dynamically flat in comparison to my 2 American Atco pressings.

I always had trouble explaining to people why I liked the early Roxy Music stuff so much. Very weird within the context of that time. A YouTube commenter has nailed it: " This era. There is something undefinable. It's greasy. It's seedy. It's sophisticated. It's rough and slick at the same time. It's beautiful and weird. It's Roxy Music defined." |
Roxy Music / For your pleasure In Every Dream Home A Heartache! The ultimate Ferry/Eno collaboration. If the original 1973 live version is still up on YouTube, well worth checking out...just incredible. Edit: Here it is...enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G56DaSAeZfM Ladytron! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G56DaSAeZfM |
