  1. It's true. That's why I hold dear songs like Trying To Throw Your Arms or One, although they're not among my musical favorites. I started to listen/learn AB when I was 5, and I learnt most of what I knew thanks to that booklet, I never studied English at school since I already knew everything that was being taught and all thanks to four drunk Irishmen.
  2. Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3Speaking of eBay (and the conversation above), I'm also keeping my eye on an original (Greek, I believe) pressing of Pearl Jam's "Ten". The one with the pink cover- not the remaster with the brown cover. It's very, very difficult to find here as well, seeing as how everyone stocks the remaster.


    Hmm, when I bought Ten it was the original pressing.

    Hi all!
  3. Vinyl?
  4. Ah, no, the CD, sorry.

    I love my original AB vinyl that I found a while ago. It started me on vinyls.
  5. Yeah I was gonna say I didn't think it was THAT popular, though I do believe the US has the worst vinyl selection in the world.
  6. Vinyls are great although there are 2 things I dislike about them:

    1 - I really don't get why most post-1990 vinyls are more expensive than a kidney.
    2 - I never know if it's written vinyl or vynil. And I don't seem to learn it xD


    I'm going off for a while, 2 classes and I'm back! Bye

    Here I just need to go to a record store and I'll find a few nice U2 vinyls every time.
  8. Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:I own the original US pressing of Boy (Not the one with the actual Boy on the cover, that'd be either the UK pressing or the remaster), and have seen (but don't own) October, War, and perhaps the most popular U2 vinyl around here- UABRS. I own original pressings of TUF and Joshua Tree, and have seen R&H as well.

    Have you not even seen NLOTH in the flesh? It's most places here too.


    Nah, it's difficult to find a decent record shop over here. I picked up most of my vinyls at a local market where I used to live and the prices were quite good but they only had pre-1991 stuff. It's there that I started building my CD collection too.

    For new vinyls, some of the big HMV chain stores sell them, I got GOYB on release day at a HMV store.

    I think I'll have a look on google for a local record shop.


    Vinyl
  9. I wrote the wrong thing.
  10. I believe post 1990 vinyls are harder to find because that's when they stopped mass-pressing them. Around that time, anyway. The CD had pretty much taken over, so if something was pressed on vinyl it was harder to get your hands on, therefore more expensive. Also packaging etc. has greatly improved since then- the quality of even just the cardboard stock that Viva la Vida or No Line on the Horizon comes in today is much, MUCH heavier/better quality than old 80s-and-before records.
  11. I'm exhausted, and guess what, two exams tomorrow... woooooohoooooo.
  12. Got a huuuuuge one tomorrow that I should be studying for :/
