compared to that i feel like im letting the side down

Man I dropped the ball with these guys. I liked them a lot, and just never bothered to listen to anything after their first album.

Playing this LP now. Recording to cassette tape. Here's a clue for you all: Many boots recorded in the 60s and 70s were not recorded or mastered by audiophiles. Many, like this one, were either recorded or mastered at the wrong speed, and usually they sound too fast. If the songs sound considerably faster than their studio album counterparts, there's a good chance the recording is off--a good argument for owning a turntable with adjustable pitch. I went down about 2.5 notches (slower, halfway between 4 and 6 on the upper part of the slider) on my Technics SL-1200 and it's perfect.

I had to do this to an old Hendrix boot LP I found last summer too.

By the way, thread-maker, I believe it's "auditory", not "aural."

What's up with the black cover? My copy doesn't look like that.

Ltd. Ed. Collector's edition. I spare no expense when it comes to Spiritualized.

But that's just am image from Google, not a picture of my copy.

Listening to lots of Kim today...

Good. That is one underrated SYR. I love it, but its usually ignored or forgotten in most SYR discussions.

Your computer? Fine, I'll fuck off, then. Sigh... pathetic. Your computer? Really? Come on, man.

Heavens! My apologies, I'll be more accurate next time. I wouldn't want to disappoint you. :[
