I've been an amateur musician all of my life and last year had the opportunity to travel to Australia for a month to play on an album an old friend of mine was recording.

The sessions went well - all of the other players were pros so I had to really be on the money!

Anyway, though I have long had digital files of the album I have recently received a vinyl copy - one of only 100 pressed. Although it cost him a small fortune, my buddy in Oz is delighted with the results and regards the vinyl version as the definitive listening experience.

All well and good, except...I don't possess any of the hardware required to actually play the album. I think you can guess what's coming...

Are there any audio aficionados out there who would be kind enough to host a playthrough on my behalf?

It's a double album that contains a wide range of musical styles - edgy pop, ballads, rockers, jazzy instrumentals and moments of avant-garde that defy categorisation so would suit someone with eclectic taste. I'm happy to drop the album off to anyone who replies so that they can have an upfront listen first.

I appreciate that this is a bit of an odd request and, to be honest, I'm not expecting much (if any) of a response;  it's just I really want to be able to email my friend in Sydney and let him know my thoughts about the album. He's emailed me several times already and I have to keep telling him that I haven't listened to it yet...

    • I get that they're being pollarded. This estate was built in the 60's and so I'm guessing that they're around 60 years old.  Nothing wrong with that but even when they re-grow they're hardly going to be the most attractive. Y'know just musing on improving the look of our public spaces.  
    • Pretty repetitive on the transport section.  I like a good discussion and this does raise wider issues.  I miss banks more than post office branches which tend to be part of other stores.  A few other threads on the Lounge, come on over.  Or 🐕 💩 
    • They'll look fine when they grow back in the spring.  The trees that should be removed are the female gingko biloba trees that are randomly dotted about the area. These produce hundreds of fruit that contain the putrid smelling butyric acid (the same chemical that is found in vomit and rancid butter).  The smell of these tress is absolutely vile and it lingers for months on end every year. There's one at the North Cross Road end of Ulverscroft road and it's huge and stinky.   I think they should be considered a public health hazard and should all be cut down.
