Have you the Little Wing release of the LP?

[Carnage]

No, the original Hawk release.

[Kurt Cocaine]

No, the original Hawk release.

Oh, even better. You must've inherited it so?

[Carnage]

Yeah, from my old man. It's a bit faded looking and I think there should be a poster with it that's missing, but it played fine the last time I tried it. That was 10 -15 years ago now, though.

I have the poster with the original Horslips: The Táin, though!

Nice one man. I have a fair few old LPs myself being the youngest of 8 kids. As my older siblings left home the records stayed behind with the playing equipment.
My one sister, who was the eldest, moved to Dublin in the very early 80's when her husband inherited his mother's home in Drimnagh.
They had a flat in our home town and packed up their essentials and headed to the big smoke.
Anything that wasn't deemed essential was packed into boxes and stored upstairs in the sheds out the back of the home place.
In those boxes was her full collection of all The Beatles albums and singles (first pressings: uber fan she was). They were there for years...
I remember being in the yard one day when she was over visiting from Spain (they'd emigrated) in the early 2000's and she asked the aul lad and me to get the records down from the upstairs shed for her. The old man looked up, cool as a cucumber told her; "They're gone!"..... 
About 10 years previously the rubbish dump just outside town (you know the proper old dumps that had an eternal fire going that you shoved your shit into?). Well it was closing for good (thankfully) in place for a recycling centre in the next town that; "Ya feckin have to pay for', and so, the aul fella decided he'd empty the shit outta the sheds while he could and it was still free.
I've never seen so many liquid pound signs run down a person's face in all my life... 
The poor woman.......

[Carnage]

Ah jesus, that's a heartbreaker. Similar thing happened when my uncle died, the woman who he left everything to basically emptied the house into a skip, including first issue Beatles, Sabbath, Queen, John Lennon records. All his photos (he was a professional photographer, based in Belfast from the early '70s, imagine what he had pics of) went too, books etc. The oul' cunt just ditched everything so she could sell the gaff.

I have a pile of books to sort through from my old man, can't keep them all and there should be some interesting rarities there.

It always amazes me how some people can just see stuff as rubbish like that. You'd think they would at least look at what they are dumping.

Anyway I have the first Peter Gabriel album on here as I often do and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's class from start to finish.

Since I'm in full immersion mode with Dune at the moment, I've been listening to this on loop. Far and away the best thing Toto ever did, by a country mile... it's hard to even make sense of the idea that Toto composed this music, but there you go. This is the pure score version; no speech samples or anything from the movie, so absolutely perfect for reading or working. Unfortunately though, for reasons mysterious to me, Eno's Prophecy Theme is missing from this version. Anyway; get yourself to Arrakis!

That's class, never knew they did that soundtrack. They were an incredibly talented group of musicians in fairness.

Can't remember who recommended this album but well done whoever you are. Makes me want to don warpaint and stare at the moon.

Also, anyone interested in David Sylvian here? Interesting, interestjng artist. Was reading Sean Malone was a massive fan and been listening quite a bit to him. It requires paying attention as a lot of the stuff sounds similar, but some really beautiful artistic stuff altogether.
