  • 212. Final Vinyl - is record collecting a scam

    37:34
    In a week where I pay way over the odds for a record I've wanted since 1989 to add to my personal ballast/collection, I ask is it really worth it? is there any romance really in clicking a button and getting it delivered to your door compared to going through the racks in a dank old cellar record shop back in the day. I finally get to me Manowar vinyl anecdote and wonder....is it really worth it? surely it's better to own nothing and be happy.....right? support the show over athttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...

    In todays episode I talk about something I never thought I would say, seeing Beherit at a festival. A Black Metal bucket list moment.....Ave Satan, Ave Lucifer at the Houses of the Holy festival, if you know you know! However the episode is really about the possibility of ruining a legacy or reputation returning to the stage after so many years or even beginning a live career after years spent in the shadows, the Bathory paradox! and maybe old dogs bite down hardest after all these years!support the show over athttp://www.patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6...sponsored byMetal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialVerminous Serpenthttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl...Dread Sovereignhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4...
