There's something a little perverse about having much-loved, sentimental Christmas tunes nail-gunned to your brain with the help of a couple of thousand watts of heavy distortion and shredded chorus licks.
As a veteran Motorheadbanger, I find this very satisfying, and can't wait to surprise the family and friends when the turkey's served up this Christmas.
The CD I received is in excellent nick, was packaged well, with acceptable postal charges and no import tariffs (very important, that!).
With it's soaring and plaintive sax and lead guitar breaks, this little gem from former half of The Humblebums (folky double with Billy Connolly) Gerry Rafferty has the musical chops to be included in the Top 10 of anyone's All Time Favourites list, especially if, like me, you were 18 in 1978 (when this song was released) and had heard this song every day on the radio throughout the "long, hot summer" (not as iconic as '67, but getting there) on your last year at grammar school ("high school" to North Americans) in England. For me, this song is definitively nostalgic.
Added to the fact that the single I received is in tip-top condition and, coming from a Canadian shop, having negligible shipping fees and NO IMPORT extortion, makes for another unicorn in the record collector's universe.
The Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue (LP, Album, C P) (Very Good Plus (VG+))
Great album, very good condition.
Ordered twice so far from MHV. Super rapid/responsive service. Coding is spot on for vinyl/covers. DEFINITELY recommend and will order from them in the future!
Very good quality
The Pretty Things - Silk Torpedo (LP, Album) (Very Good (VG))
I had this album back in the day when it came out. Although not as popular as "Escape" or "Adventure", it is an underrated album that documents the life cycle of one relationship in Rupert Holmes' typical story songs. While not as tongue-in-cheek as such songs as Escape (although my theory is that the couple is the one from that song) there is still his signature lighthearted and whimsical approach to the story. This approach has been recently used in Selena Gomez and Benny Bianco's album "I Said I Love You First" and even more so in Olivia Rodrigo's just released album "Why so Sad for a Girl so in Love." This album was always one of my favourites in my collection and I am ecstatic to be able to listen to it again after these years. The album itself is in great condition and plays flawlessly with very little background noise. A great album to listen to while doing chores around the house.
Thanks for the fast delivery.
As advertised, very good condition.
Thanks again!
One of my choices for best-ever headbanging tunes - I'm rebuilding my 7" 45rpm collection to populate a retirement jukebox.
The record sent me is perfectly flat and totally scratch and dent-free.
More orders to come.
All three of my purchases from this seller have been great. Super fast dispatch and perfectly as described. Thank you Jeremy
