Very tender observations, Gordon.
Vinyl LPs are rarely too long.
You can watch the needle go up and down slightly as the record
travels beneath it, mapping your own emotions on a physical plane.
A piece of art 12 x 12. I can hardly read what passes for the art on
CD covers.

Yes DrD
the lyric sheet was included,and even though it was advertised as
such, I was still pretty chuffed to get it, and in good nick as well.
It can indeed be cut and folded into a booklet, and you may or may
not remember that one of the panels actually has instructions on
how to go about it.
The vinyl itself looks, and smells, pretty minto, but won't know
until I can make it unmint.
There are two things the devisers of the CD format, and the next
generations
of music reproduction, missed when they ditched vinyl.
The smell of newly spun vinyl when you pull it out of the sleeve.
The way the static sometimes made your hair reach out for it.
The ability to roll a fat one on it.
The SOUND.
Even when buggered after too many party outings etc. you can
usually get SOMETHING out of it, and anyway, this denotes a
certain lineage. When a CD is buggered it's, well, a coaster isn't
it ?
Oops! That's five things they missed and counting, and almost
completely off topic. Still , nightmare train journey home forgotten.
Dooooah !

So G,
....did you get the lyric sheet with your Bagpipe Music vinyl then?
Bargain, if so...as I recall it could be cleverly folded and torn
into a little booklet....lost mine a million years ago...What Am I
Supposed to Do is classic Gerard.....
....and, yeah, PV is right 'Paperweight Flood' & 'Passenger of
Fortune' are maybe a bit 'prog', and I find the poetry of both
those a bit derivative of TS Eliot m'self....don't think GL had
entirely found his own 'voice' in those early days....anyone else
see the Art Objects live? I caught them several times at Trinity,
the Berkeley, Hope Centre & Ashton Court....kin awesome they were,
just like the Aeroplanes in fact....pretty sure they finished every
show with Breakin' in my Heart too....
peace & love friendsloversplanes
