For the Phil Pratt productions, you need to find this very rare LP:

I didnt think "Gee Baby" was that rare.

I saw that in a 2nd hand shop in London Berwick Street last year and from memory it was going for £15.00p

Good album though.

You should have picked it up, I've seen it fetch 50 quid on ebay recently. And it does seem to be fairly rare as it doesn't come up that often.

What's more, I don't have a copy of it yet!!!

But thats just the vinyl junkie in you talking :)

Yeah, dead right Dave. I have a pile of CDRs kindly given to me by various people. I think 90% are completely untouched.

Well, when you have a big choice of vinyl why would you play a CDR?

Hey Leggo,

Whats format got to do with it ?

Its the music contained within thats important.

If I had your attitude then I would be missing out on hearing some absolutely wonderful music.

And as the years go by there will be less and less vinyl for you to purchase while I will still have a limitless resourse of music to discover.

But each to his own.

Let me know if there are any other albums you cannot find, I will happily tell you what they are like :)

Nothing. It's the music that matters. Absolutely. No doubt.

But....

I love vinyl. My Hi-Fi loves vinyl, and I have yet to find an LP that I can ONLY get on CD that I actually want.

Sure, some of the vinyl is so expensive I am running out of body parts to sell.

I don't tend to collect other genres on LP, mnost of my 'other' music is on CD.

But reggae, to me, just don't seem right unless it's on WAX! It's a nostalgia thing, partly.
