Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure (1973)
I had a few turntable issues this evening which nearly derailed my listening pleasure. I eventually tracked it down to being an interconnect cable issue.

commentsGot may latest fix of triple clear vinyl from The Labs this evening - 2LPs actually - that’s 6 slabs of mindfucking magic and album numbers 8 and 9!
commentsI would have bought this wonderful record just for the cover alone. It’s certainly a great (in stereo) representation of the pleasures within.
commentsI’ve been looking out for a vinyl version of this treasure for a while now. I happened to find it in Hamilton and this is probably the antithesis of that dump.
commentsThe most consistent Aussie band of all time, these dudes just haven’t put a foot wrong during their 40 year career.
commentsWhenever I hear Autobahn, I place myself back in the family home in Hastings in 1974. That was a huge moment for me - the day Casey Kasem played the edited, radio friendly version of “Autobahn” on the American Top 40.
commentsI don’t give a tinker’s cuss what these dudes are on about but the sonics, bottom end, verbal riffage and discomfort on this record is second to none.
commentsWhile the Germans are responsible for the abomination that is the DIN connector they are also responsible for some of the most influential and amazing music on the planet.
commentsThis is in my top 10 records. This is not one of those records that was a right of passage or a sign post or fork in the road on my musical journey.
commentsI heard “New Music with Grant Smithies” for 11th Oct 2019 via podcast this morning. One group particularly stood out for me.
