Wyatt vinyl



It was good to see the "new" Robert Wyatt LPs in a good record store in Bergen, fresh and fine. I bought my copies of "Rock Bottom" and "Ruth is Stranger than Richard" used, back in the 70s, so they look a bit tired even if I treated them well. Alfies covers are great, but the "Ruth is Stranger" cover is not 100% like the original, is it? It's like the Hannibal CD-edition from 1998 with more of the color blue.
"Theatre Royal Drury Lane" comes as a Double LP, but no fold out cover. Great package, with good, heavy vinyl.

the great news is that shleep will be released for the first time on vynile, and with a LP full of rarities... it seems.
