Today's Purchases (Non-classical)

[EigenUser]

This is my latest buy - I have a Bicycle already but I wanted to get a fixie one for a while (they are quite popular these days I think).
I used to be a very keen Cyclist but I got a bit lazy recently - I want to ride the Bike to work (not too far: only about 25 minutes riding).
Its a very simple Bike so I hope its pretty easy to ride and maintain - I think the fixed gear will be a bit punishing at first but Ill get used to it quickly im sure :

Nice! I really should get a bike. There are so many fun roads and bike paths where I live. But, I have a feeling it would be that kind of purchase where I use it incessantly for a week or two and then get tired of it and hardly touch it again.

Thanks - I did cycle to work every day for about 8 years but I gave it up after I moved house and kept getting punctures all the time due to all the crap on the cycle paths here. I guess its not too hard to fix punctures if it starts happening again - I hope I can stick with it!.

Great stuff, Conor. I love Queen. I have all their 80s album and Innuendo. Reissues, very nice packages.

I also have this set:

And this set as well, which is from the 70s and not the 80s I know now.

From Amazon: "Of course, News is famous for its opening medley, "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions." Attend any sports event in the Western world, and you'll hear the former. If it's a championship match and the home team wins, you'll hear the latter. That's a tribute to the staying power of the music, but News of the World offers proof that, even as Queen maintained their position as rock & roll royalty, they continued to evolve and react to the times."

Yeah, Queen beyond The Game is not really worth it.

Truth.

And of course I have Jazz (1978).

Thanks for the comments guys
I didn't really like what I heard of later Queen as well but I decided to get the last box-set after all because I really like the albums works and a kind of magic.
Im interested to give the other albums a shot again - Im not expecting too much from them but maybe a good song or 2 would be nice

Thread duty:

Indeed The Works is also a great one. And Innuendo can't be missed as well.

I couldn't resist any longer:



Bought the newer Steven Wilson remix/remaster of this classic Yes album. I own all of the other releases in this series as well. I'm not a huge fan of Wilson's work, but I think he did good on the last two Yes remixes/remasters. I bought the CD/Bluray set of this release. Relayer is quite possibly my favorite Yes album right next to Going For The One and Close to the Edge.

Not a bad day at my local haunt including yet another Riddle addition. The Morty Craft lps hold up decently enough in the music department, but I could not pass on those covers. As for the Zentner lp (click on top photo), POW!

Just bought:

Harryhausen's practical effects photographed with early James Bond glamour - great.
Bonus: the elegance of Judi Bowker and her swan-like neck. Good stuff indeed. Hope you enjoy it!
