Re: Art Objects

["Paul Vallis" <paulvallis@ho...com>]

My copy arrived in the post this morning.  I got it on Ebay from a guy in 
Greece, and his packaging was an art object in itself, so it arrived intact. 
 Its got the lyric sheet, which I didn't even know about until somebody 
mentioned it here.  Its possible that some careless owners may have lost 
their lyric sheets, but I don't think the lp sold all that well so I expect 
that there may not have been many that were originally issued without it.
The vinyl looks played - there wasn't the lovely static cling you get with 
new records - but well looked after.
Hopefully will get time to play it this evening.

  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

    DrDx
