For the rest, poor audio quality on modern CD releases is being used by record companies as leverage to get people to buy 'better-sounding' vinyl at enormously inflated prices. Rolling Stones Hacnkney Diamonds being a prime example. I'm sure it would sound better on a decent vinyl front end than st...

Judas Priest - Nostradamus Something of a diversion and a very. devisive underrated album. Interesting comments in KK Downings autobiography. He wanted them to play it in full on the tour. There failure to do so was a contributory factor in him leaving and they have not been the same since. I got t...
