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 know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
