Hi Leggo Rocker

I spoke to the shop and they were going to post everything (needless to say I got a bit carried away with the order) yesterday.

As everything is being sent to my office address I've asked them to delay posting as our office is shut at the weekend and I don't want postie folding the album in half to get it through the letterbox!

I'll have to make do with the CD this weekend.

Leggo Rocker, you're pretty much right about the quality on Italian machinery as they really cut corners on the wiring etc, and the 2 Typhoons I've had from new both seized within 500 miles due to the wrong size piston rings being fitted, but when they're on song they're great and I'm tragically sold on their looks...

If I was buying a bike, though, it might be a Suzuki, but don't really know very much about them.

Just for the record, I now have a XVS1700 Road Star

One bad mutha....

I've owned or ridden everything from Mopeds (Garelli) to GP500s and now I am quite happy with a cruiser.

But I'd wish I could afford the Glide with the CD player!

Riding to reggae music just seems so natural for me.

The beat, the freedom, the rebel nature of being a biker - it all adds up and for me explains why the thread I started titled 'Rasta pon his Motorcycle' has so many posts already.

I am pleased to say it has just arrived and looks every bit as wonderful as I remember!!

and sounds that good too, eh?

Deffo!

Actually, this Greensleeves repress sounds better than the original I had. Seriously.

hmmm.. I shall soon be able to test that statement with my own ears

It may, of course, just be the fact that I now have a mutt's nuts hi-fi!

Hi Leggo Rocker

Also, as I thought, the tracks on the CD are mis-labled. For example, "Unity Dub" is "Levi Dub" on the CD.

Incidentally, on the back cover of the repress there is the addition of the Greensleeves "G" and the Rockers melodica logo is in black and white as opposed to colour.
