41. Episode 41 - "Slightly damp and cool"
01:33:54||Season 1, Ep. 41Well hello there, how the devil etc etc? Welcome once again to another episode of the greatest vinyl podcast that ever was (allegedly). This week we're all about the Alice in Chains self titled super duper boxset that finally landed a mere 6 months after the order was placed (not that we're bitter) - we'll be discussing the merits of the album itself 30 years on from its release as well as a bells & whistles review of the box set - worth the cost and wait? Listen to find out! We also talk about new releases from Social Distortion (woohoo!) and Sepultura (hmmm...), yet another reissue from the Swami John camp, and a few random buys we've made since last time. We wrap it all up with a chat about new Anthrax & Deep Purple as well as Neil Young reissues. Thanks for dropping by, see you on the other side. This weeks episode is brung to you from 1979....

This week we open up with a chat about recent buys - its been a good week for post punk and old school classic rock - including the new (final?) At The Gates album and the latest Descendents reissue. We also focus on a new shop! The feauture is an idea we've had knocking about for a while pitting overrated albums vs underrated albums from a bands catalogue, stay tuned if you're an Anthrax or Iron Maiden fan. We close up in less ranty fashion than usual with a discussion on Godflesh, Beastie Boys, and the latest in the Metallica reissue campaign. Grab a coffee and enjoy.

01:33:01||Season 1, Ep. 39Hi there, how are we all? Lovely. Now grab a pew and take the weight off while i read this weeks menu. For starters our Simon (the southern one) regales us with tales of his RSD purchases both good and not as good, while Danny (the midlands one) talks classic punk and canadian rock, and for an added bonus both share their thoughts on the new Napalm Death/Melvins collab. If thats whetted your appetites maybe you'd be interested in the main course - this weeks its an anniversary feature with a difference - we visit 1966 for the 60th anniversaries of 2 stone cold classics - Beatles' "Revolver" and Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde". Finally, if you've left room for dessert, we talk reissues galore from thrash clasics to stoner rock to more from the Swami John Reiss stable, as well as new and upcoming stuff.
