What are you listening to?

[Rob998]

Today's been a whole day of Mr Bowie, the man who has provided the soundtrack to my entire life, wherever I was he was always there, sometimes in the background, sometimes up front. Indie clubs, rock clubs, plain old clubs, pubs, festivals, Walkman, HiFi, vinyl, CD, streaming. You were always there David. Always.

Last one for tonight, and as I've mentioned elsewhere, a difficult listen for me...



Another thing that upset me, I have the clear vinyl version of this too. It was delivered on the day David's death was announced. The very same day people, who had had to pre-order the album to get it on the day of release, and so were presumably fans (?) were flipping their copies for upto £1k. Twats. It immediately made my clear copy too valuable to play (I know, I shouldn't really give a shit about it, but...) so I had to buy a black vinyl copy too, I was very lucky, I found one in a record shop a few days later for the regular price, but at that point even black vinyl copies were going for hundreds of pounds online.

Thankfully, by the the time I actually felt able to listen to the album it had all calmed down and the black vinyl was at a sane enough value that I was happy to risk playing it.

I brought the black vinyl LP, never been played, haven't got a record player! Brought the CD as well though!
As you say, a difficult listen even today.

Paul.
