I love a cover version

I just stole this off a local Facebook page 🙂

That made me think of Bananarama's Venus, and this is not a complaint

Always liked this cover, I know they’re all from a music academy and it’s a few years old but it was an ambitious cover they nailed. 
I bet that drummer is a beast now

The Fall never released a cover for the first 8 years of their existence (77-85)- then they did Gene Vincent's Rollin' Dany. After that covers become a staple part of the output.

The version of Lost in Music on 27 Points is a thing of wonder - so much better than it should be...

I deplore this holier than thou attitude towards MP3.  Original LP, snap, crackle, pop, get up every 20 minutes to turn it over.  What about albums that never actually got a vinyl release?

 

It's all about convenience and delivery; despite ripping all my audio to FLAC, a decently encoded 320kbps MP3 is anywhere near the quality of the 64/128kbps derivative it was 20 years ago and is indistinguishable from the FLAC.

I have to say I agree with you on this. The way music is consumed today very few people could actually tell the difference. 

 

Que the audiophiles to rip me apart 📻

You’ve missed the best bit about vinyl… waking up next morning with a hangover… on top of the bed… fully clothed plus muddy boots… headphones on and hearing the continuous zzzzd-tish at the end of the record, been doing that all night after you passed out.

 

Them were’t days…

And just try rolling a J on an MP3
