I have an 8 track of Meddle Phil...

But that will split 'Echoes' into bits, Will.... ;D ;D ;D

(Love that track.)

Presumably if you ius modeling Norse you play the 1st track from side 2 of Led Zep III (the imigrants Song)....And you can get all dose on plastic, and cassette.

Love that track, too..with that nice Mr Plant warbling what sounds like a refrain from Bali H'ai......I don't have my vinyl version of that, anymore...Just on CD. :)

Cheers - Phil.

That's tapes (yes, the book is that old), and it's Best of Queen.

A word like best is a bit uncomfortable applied to Queen.

Well...

They did have a little more success than The New Vaudeville Band...and even they've got a 'Best Of'. (No I haven't got that CD, I looked it up on Amazon.)

That's got a 5 star rating  :o.....(Mind you it's only got two reviews)...One of those wouldn't be from your good self, would it, Alexander ?  ;))

I don't really vote for anything later than Beethoven (except Wagner and Dave Brubeck).

Saw Queen live a couple of times, great live act.

Best of Beethoven ... 90 minutes of silence.

I love the comment on the Big Three:

Bach's music tells you what it's like to be the universe.

Mozart's music tells you what it's like to be human.

Beethoven's music tells you what it's like to be Beethoven.

To which I'd like to add:

Brahms' music tells you what it's like to be bored.

And I'll bet you're going to tell me that you don't like the prelude to Act III of Lohengrin.

That's without doubt one of my favourite pieces of 'classical music'.
In a way, I'm glad ELP didn't have a go at 'reinterpreting' that one.

I've got  a feeling that in the TV 'film' that the tapes become CDs, Martyn. :-\
I could only bear to watch that adaptation once....Very disappointing (for me) and it's one of my favourite books.

Of the six 'episodes', I really only enjoyed episode 4, Will.

I'll probably watch it again, in a few months.....and then wonder why I disliked it so much, the first time.  ;)

Except that Tennant is perfect as Crawley.

That....I would concede.  :)

He did a damn fine job !...Perfect casting.

Like I say.....I'll probably watch it again, in a while, and wonder why I hated it so much the first time.

Only watched the first episode so far, not impressed. One of my favourite books, and I remember it being funny. Can't remember anything even remotely chuckle-able from the TV version.

Ehh, trying too hard for me. And Michael Sheen is just doing an impersonation of Derek Jacobi as Cadfael.

I assume the book is written as being 'now' at the time of publication (1990), and the tapes are mentioned at the time of Adam's birth - i.e. 11 years previously. So, 1979. And tapes are perfect for that timeframe.

Then I assume the TV version is happening as 'now' - i.e. now! - so even CDs are now obsolete. But perfect for 11 years ago.

CDs still do a dam' good job with music where quality counts.

Not saying they don't, but most people I know just connect their phone to the ICE system and play music from there.

The exceptions I know are my wife - who has all of her stuff on a USB drive plugged into the ICE - and me, who just listens to the radio.
