Reggae CD's for me too! They always seem to live up to the cover, you can never go wrong!Thrash Harry wrote:Dread Locks Dread - Big Youth. Ok, so it was obviously reggae and I was going through a red, gold and green phase, but never heard any of his stuff and just loved the cover. Naked rasta masters roaring lion. Spare me the psycho-analysis, please. How about you? CDs don't seem to have quite the same impact, or do they?

I'll keep an eye out for it. The one I was talking about was bought in Piccadilly Records, Manchester about 10yrs ago, when they were still outside the Arndale, down the street from HMV (the biggest store on the corner near Picadilly Gardens). Used to spend a fortune in there (Dole Money too!Steve303 wrote:Have you got Secter Laboratory Si?
Very very funny stuff on it. If not go and get it now.
) when I used to visit iccle bruv and Big Sista, when they were at Uni. Remember buying what I now think is a bootleg, said it was a jam session by Sly and the Revolutionaries/Upsetters and a few others at the Black Ark, every tune was an instrumental, but every tune must have been written/recorded while heavily stoned!

And later released on CD, and is now in my collection too!Johnny Boy wrote:Bought the second PiL album because it was called Metal Box and er, ...in a metal box. Designed like a movie film canister and containing the album in 3 x 12 vinyl format and a piece of paper about 3"x3" containing the song titles. Badly typed in lurid red on white. All lower case. Nice.

hmm, yeah I've heard of people breaking the records inside trying to open the metal box.Johnny Boy wrote:Any house-wifey tips on how to stop the 'metal' box tarnishing?Big Si wrote: And later released on CD, and is now in my collection too!

There's something like the 'Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb' about it. After two broken nails and numerous abrassions, on the last occassion I did manage to open it, I taped it and it hasn't seen daylight in about 18 years. Probably just a pile of ashes now. Unless the box was lead-lined, and then I'm OK.hallucienate wrote:hmm, yeah I've heard of people breaking the records inside trying to open the metal box.Johnny Boy wrote:Any house-wifey tips on how to stop the 'metal' box tarnishing?Big Si wrote: And later released on CD, and is now in my collection too!
No advice of cleaning it though, I just got the standard vinyl version.
I'll get in touch with those Cleaning Ladies from C4. Probably a mixture of white vinegar, fresh parsley and eye of newt should do the trick.Big Si wrote:Mine too!Johnny Boy wrote:Any house-wifey tips on how to stop the 'metal' box tarnishing?Big Si wrote: And later released on CD, and is now in my collection too!

Ever seen one on ebay? Value?
Leave Glasgow and Scotland!hallucienate wrote:have you guys ever thought of moving to a dryer climate? It's probably help those boxes stay nice and shiney.
