There should be a juke box for 12" singles.Yes. Of course
Every so often I’ll play then in order of release. It’s a big effort to turn the records over so often though.

I very rarely play the 2013 issue you quote above. I think it’s been ruined with the additions and subtractions.I am thoroughly bedazzled by this scintillating copy of the 2013 limited Parlophone reissue of Kill Uncle...

This is an immaculate (probably never-played) spic and span PERFECT ! copy that I have legally obtained for just a handful of euronies from a Swiss woman.
The sound is AMAZING! Was listening with my headphones on. Not one single crackle, and it felt as if I was listening to the album for the first time with Morrissey sitting on my lap. That's as close as it can get vinyl-wise.
I am not sure, if they had also remastered the 1991 original, because this reissue sounds way much better, especially the songs on the A-side. Some songs on the B-side lack the sparkling clarity of let's say "Our Frank" or "Sing your Song", but overall, the sound is outshining everything that I can find on my 1991 European Kill Uncle version, which, I have to admit, is probably just in VG+ condition. Still I believe that there is also a difference production-wise and with regard to the material, as the 2013 reissue is much heavier than the flimsy 1991 version.

I cleaned the original thoroughly as well, and still the difference can easily be discerned. Now that I look at it, the sheer amount of dead wax is also remarkable, as if they had forgotten some songs the first time round, and maybe they actually did.
Fear not blessed comrade, I’ll get mine and your green vinyl xx

Defo prefer the 2013 version for its organic arrangement of songs.I very rarely play the 2013 issue you quote above. I think it’s been ruined with the additions and subtractions.
FYI - there was a 1995 release on Parlophome -
Not in great numbers. Very rarely do they come up for sale, a bit like the 2013 issue nowadays. That can’t be found for love nor money for small shilling. Yet up to recently (2 years or so) it could be found quite easily for low £££.

KU, BD and VH were reissued on vinyl and CD in 1995. Morrissey had changed labels the previous year for Vauxhall, swapping from HMV previously. Maybe it was thought Arsenal and Beethoven were too recent to reissue.Defo prefer the 2013 version for its organic arrangement of songs.
Whats the story behind this odd mid-90s KU reissue?
Could be. I always thought that KU wasn't such a big seller, so why reissue it only 4 years later, and also as a gatefold? Maybe it was part of a deal, so that he could leave PP earlier to go to RCA Victor?KU, BD and VH were reissued on vinyl and CD in 1995.

What had begun as a promising day, turned into a tragedy. I witnessed the brutal killing of a young and tiny marten here in my hometown today.
It looked a bit like this one:

I was driving down the street back home, when I saw this young marten trying to cross the road from the left side. A car almost ran him over, but he could retreat and then remained paralyzed on the road, probably injured by the underpressure of the tires.
There was a chance for me to quickly turn the car around into a side street, I pulled out the carton box and gloves from the trunk and then ran to the road. He was still lying there, looked unharmed but didn't move. At this second, a f***ed-up van rushed by and ran him over mercilessly. I heard his bones crush and what sounded like a little explosion. I was only threee metres away, when a second car drove by and did exactly the same. I was shocked, and still am. All I could do, was to pick up the very warm little and limp body from the road, and lay him down under a bush. Sleep well, babe. Humans suck. We don't need so many of these perverted and non-stop reproducing apes on this planet any longer.
Later, when I was approaching home, I saw from the car window, that the little sunflower that had been growing on the pedestrian sidewalk in front of a junction box, which is a little wonder in itself, had been ripped out, decapitated, and the stalk been put upside down leaning against a wall.
Well, here are some records that I have picked out for this week's listening.

My plan for the coming weeks is to spend more time acquainting myself with my records, old and new. I don't want to end up like folks who cannot remember if they have a certain record or not, or if they have even listened to these records when they rediscover them in their record shelf. Because they are buying faster than they can listen? I don't know.
Whatever, my records of the week are put into this record case, which is located close to the record player. My home is my castle, so I want to keep walking distances short. Then I am going to listen to each record several times in a row, till i have the impression that all the songs have sunk into my marrow and bone.

I was listening to Pabst's debut album first. Pabst is not just an insipid beer produced in another country, but actually means "pope", and is the name of a band from Berlin. Noise, Garage, Grunge, Indie, all fast and quick, youthful, if you like, but surprisingly versatile and self-assured for such a new act. Songs are all in English, and maybe you can hear the irony, and there is a certain grammar-school boy humour throughout, which doesn't want to be taken seriously, as one can see in the record cover too, which depicts a charming urban scenery, reminding us of some 70s street photography by Meyerovitz and the like.
The record "Chlorine" was released on the Berlin indie-label Crazysane Records in 2018. There is also a yellow version out there.
too many, unfortunately.Poor wee thing. Some drivers just don't care.
