NR entered the top 100 at no. 71 (the same as SP&S) and then disappeared from the top 100 the following week.Mikeh wrote:Did he make the UK Top 100? Mind you, when you are competing against the inexplicable popularity of Michael Buble, does it really matter?

Perhaps your luck has run out. Tell you what, I'll swap my Japanese National Ransom CD for your 78s.the_platypus wrote:This is ridiculous. I can't find the album anywhere in Buenos Aires.

The straw to cling to is that we all appear to be in the same boat (or should that be ship?) with the CDS. Certainly us three Merseyside despairados haven't had a visit yet from Mr Postman.oliversa1 wrote:I ordered the £200 package, apparently all sent, still waiting.
My biggest worry is I won a set of the 78's and they still haven't arrived, 4 weeks later.
I can vouch for the fact that after our trip to see Elvis in Amsterdam in a certain way VG did not seem like Jesus. In a certain light the deliveryman looks like Elvis...

As I've said before, I'm not the best judge as I tend to love everything EC does, but this one has already merited more repeat listens than any of the last five or six. Great, great album.

I've given it a couple spins and can't say that I'm fond of it. Kinda bummed. I'll give it more time, but nothing stands out and grabs me. Anyone else have a similar letdown?
Elvis called with my CD this morning. Unfortunately I was still in bed and didn't manage to have a chat. He left a note saying he was heading west towards Liverpool and The Wirral. Did he arrive?verbal gymnastics wrote:Given that it's Merseyside, Elvis will probably deliver them personally.
If it's not him then it might be a lookalike. In a certain light the deliveryman looks like Elvis...
This is what I'm looking forward to the most. Even though I became a fan around the time that When I Was Cruel was his first release, I've never really had the means to buy anything of his on vinyl. But when Momofuku was first announced as being a vinyl-only release, I figured, "Welp, time to bite the bullet and get one of those fancy USB record players!" So I did, and holding that big chunk of cardboard and vinyl in my hands was like an awakening of sorts. I'd trawled through my parents' record collection for many years, but never really sat down and listened to anything, so listening to Momofuku for the first time on the record player was really interesting. I intended on getting Secret, Profane & Sugarcane on vinyl, but it's funny how not having a job will quickly change your beliefs of what is essential to purchase and what isn't... I hope to rectify that soon, however, as having SP&SC as a digital-only release just isn't the same.cwr wrote:The one thing I kind of like the cardboard sleeves, only because they seem closer to the feel of LP jackets of old, only miniaturized.
Having said that, nothing is quite as cool as an actual full-sized LP jacket. I got mine in the mail the other day, and it looks stunning. And opening the gatefold to see all the lyrics feels more majestic than flipping through a CD booklet.
