Haven’t bought it, but listened to the first part a few times (streaming). It bears repeated listens. But I shared the same fears as you. I dare say I can pick it up used one day if I change my mind.

Yeah, Beck playing those records with an orchestra was a bucket list item for me. Wonderful.

Merry Christmas.
Just found one of my favourite books, The Puffin Book of Improbable Records.
Quentin Blake illustrations and John Yeoman’s text. I think a lot of my sense of humour derives from this book.

Well Kept Secret is perhaps one of only two listenable James Last records. (Ducks for cover). Great pick from your #vinylsanta and an absolute chazza classic!

I’m a bit late posting my #vinylsanta, but what a selection! Including the all-time greatest Christmas album and a chance to explore Jefferson Starship and Tangerine Dream.
Thank you vinyl Santa!

I think most of the band names sound like they were found in a medical dictionary.

The recipient of my #vinylsanta can count themselves very very fortunate (or unfortunate depending on how you look at it) that I didn’t visit Oxfam in Bruges in time.

I love the nerdiness of the Radiohead fans who are tracking every setlist of the tour on excel spreadsheets.

If you are a fan of the Ace Records Jon Savage compilations, here’s a playlist of what *didnt* get on the compilations.
Amazing stuff.

A playlist would be a lovely thing to see / hear.
Either way, I have all the CDs and have found them all fascinating and a fantastic introduction to so many different rabbit holes and new sounds, so thank you.

@jonsavage.bsky.social Hey Jon - enjoying listening to the final Ace records comp in your series. (They have all been so good). In the liner notes you mention early house records weren’t available to licence and I was curious if you had a list of records that didn’t make it into the compilations?

This is not my beautiful pub... The strangeness of social media as it stops being a social hub.

Further thoughts on social media stopping being like the pub, and the hollow weirdness of it all.
