I can only think the interviewer misheard. Otherwise... huh?

Re: *** Spaceman Reissue Program ***

"Good Times," which is the last track on side C of Pure Phase , has the most atrocious inner groove distortion I have ever heard throughout about the last 30 seconds of the song. I can't believe the engineer who cut this was ok with that. It sounds terrible. I have tried three copies of t...

Re: *** Spaceman Reissue Program ***

By the way, want to know how time flies, and how timeless Pure Phase remains? The gap between its release and today is the same (26 years) as the gap between the release of The Beatles' Abbey Road and that of PP... That certainly puts it into perspective! It's funny how you think about these things...

Re: *** Spaceman Reissue Program ***

in terms of the glitch, I was talking about the CD glitch back in the day on the original LGM. no idea what glitches are or aren't there now! And day to day Spotify is just so convenient. If I'm really 'listening' to an album, I'll defer to the CD. And vinyl would probably just have been a first li...

Re: *** Spaceman Reissue Program ***

see I would say that all those issues are why CDs are better.. but the initial CD did have that glitch as well! I'd agree that that german site looks legit, but why not wait until the official announcement anyway? if LGM was announced in Feb for Apr release, then the PP announcement shouldn't be to...

Hypnotized

My turntable has been out of action for some years, so most of my listening is via Spotify these days, which means my S3 vinyl rarely gets a listen. It was nice to have SOC, PP, PWIF etc. appear on Spotify recently (although I'd rather it was out of G Palmer's sticky mitts), and today I discovered t...
