Experimenting with plastic sleeves instead of jewel cases and I'm impressed. Fiddly to do but I think they look quite smart. And Oliver is showing how much space 20 CDs now fit into. Obvs cardboard cases won't work for this but getting rid of the majority will save so much space.
I may be a bit thick but how does doubling the rent on an existing tenant become good business? Especially as that tenant then moves out. Only if they have a new tenant ready to stump up, I suppose. It seems crazy to me. www.whathifi.com/hi-fi/vinyl/...

#NowPlaying #MusicSky #ProgSky I haven't played this for ages. One of the greatest albums ever. And one of the greatest sounding.
Even with copious shelving I'm running out of space, so I've ordered some CD sleeves to replace the jewel cases and regain some space. Report tomorrow to see if it works and if I'm happy with them.
This is one of the loveliest things I've seen on social media. Nick and John are amongst the best people on here. Give them a follow if you don't already.
John Logsdon@johnlogsdon.bsky.social · yesterdayBack in business with backup amp installed! I picked up this classic record yesterday for Nick @nportnell.bsky.social When I saw it, I remembered that he had been looking for a nice copy. It will be en route to him shortly, via SCV @indashadoz.bsky.social #nowplaying
#NowWatching The X-Cops episode of the X-Files. One of the oddest, funniest and best episodes of a long-running series IMHO.
Another day, another couple of car boots. The most I paid for an item was a pound. And that is the nicest copy of Shaved Fish I've ever seen. DVDs will be ripped and donated.
#NowPlaying #MusicSky The other vinyl from today's car boot. Again it needed a good clean in the #Humminguru but now it sounds tremendous.
#NowPlaying #MusicSky One of this morning's car boot purchases and after two goes through the #Humminguru it sounds amazing.
Okay here's the other thing that people are doing. Definitely NOT my favourite 9 films, but that isn't the question is it?
Awake at 3.50, so this was the perfect way to start the day and a week off. Absolutely fabulous. www.patreon.com/backlisted/p...

Possibly the end of times or alien invasion as I set off for work this morning.
#NowPlaying #MusicSky After a bit of a crap day let's finish it with one of the greatest rock bands ever. I think they were pretty much untouchable during this period. And what a amazing and perfect cover!
I've been a postie for 7 years today so thanks to the woman who swore at me because I had to do an age verification on the booze she had ordered. And called me an idiot as she slammed her front door. Cheers!
#NowPlaying #MusicSky One of my favourite albums of the year so far. The CD arrived today but I've been listening almost nonstop since it came out on Friday. A stunning and transcendental piece of work inspired by the Anchoress Julian of Norwich. I think it maybe a masterpiece.

Visited the new record shop in Worthing which has been open for a year and a half apparently! Who knew? A lovely guy runs it. I'll definitely be going back.
At the station, to go over pick the car up. I think I'm standing in a bloke's place on the platform by the way he is huffing and puffing and staring at me!
#NowPlaying #MusicSky A few people have commented about me putting Relics in that 9 album thing, so it had to go on next! Bought in about 79/80 and with the 'proper' cover it's Floyd's second best album.
#NowPlaying #MusicSky #ProgSky @nportnell.bsky.social recommended this to a King Crimson newbie earlier and he is correct. It is their best record and probably the best Prog album. Terrifying in places, but also rather beautiful. It's hard to beat.
Everyone is having a go at this, so here is mine. I couldn't find Hancock's The Missing Page/Reunion Party album on there, so add that to these.
