Ummagumma - Pink Floyd
An album that's had a right old hammering over the last 56 years particularly early on and is on my 'must buy a new copy' list

The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion - The Incredible String Band
From 1967 and my favourite of theirs, nostalgic both from seeing them live and as late night music to crash to.

Brand New Eyes - Paramore
I like Hayley Williams vocals but that's as far as it goes. Not to my taste and it's the 2nd recent purchase stupidly made on name value with little idea of the content. It's the last time I'll do that, I've learnt my lesson now.

Incantations - Mike Oldfield
Prefer to Tubular Bells, the only other I have. More atmospheric to me and Maddy Prior's vocals is an instant uptick although I wish there was more. Get Tangerine Dream vibes mainly from the Xylophone for some reason.

Octave - The Moody Blues
I don't have their debut but have the next 8 ending with this. It's the only one that I was a bit disappointed with. It's all relative though and it's a pleasant enough album but for me anyway it has no songs that stand out.

In The Land Of Grey And Pink - Caravan
Excellent album, very English with a couple of moments of quirkiness. Remind me of The Kinks although musically very different. Only downside is I'm not a fan of the drummer on the up tempo tracks, he's fine when restrained.

As far as turntables are concerned, I looked at Amazon.uk & Amazon.com and their seems to be little difference between the UK and US. In the 'suitcase' options it appears a bit cheaper in the US and the 'separates' slightly more expensive in the US, about 10% in this example.

From what I can gather, LPs and CDs are or should be exempt from tariffs as they fall under the informational materials exemption. It seems to be a bit of a lottery though as from what I can gather from my American friends, some get charged and some don't.

Google results for 'Vinyl Sales 2025' seem to overwhelmingly contradict that and indicate continuing growth. I've not slowed down and don't see that changing. Also seeing an increasing number of posts from people who have just bought their first record players is encouraging. UK anyway is doing OK.

The Yes Album - Yes
although I have a few of their albums I'm not a huge fan of Yes. It's a nostalgia trip as I had a couple of friends back in the day who were big fans so I heard their first 4 or 5 albums a lot. Can't really remember for sure if I saw them live or not.

Depends on budget. Cheapest would be a 'suitcase' turntable for less than £50. As I like Audio Technica then for under £250 you can get this bundle, which you could later improve with an amplifier. I had a quick look at Amazon.com and to put this bundle together looks as if it would be around $350
