Obviously **knowingly** buying/owning multiple copies of the same record is a whole other yet perfectly acceptable form of madness.

Yes, it happens. I’ve bought stuff again for the sake of a pretty Obi or a slight sleeve variation, a U.S. pressing sometimes. But mostly I buy duplicates because I’m old and borderline senile.

Sorry; what were we talking about again…?

Well… you might want to sit down for this.

Jen: “Have you got the nun with fire LP that came out this week…?”
Jed: “Which one…?”

Portal.

It is really good. I had no idea at the time, and bought it because it does look really cool.

‘Tis true.

Thank you. All of this is extremely interesting. 😊

I have a copy of that, and yes it is good fun. I’m looking for South American bands who weren’t only enthralled to Sgt. Pepper. Not rock, necessarily, but something that came from the garage; or the ditch. Maybe my limited understanding of the scene is making me appear culturally ignorant.

Interesting… I need to expand my geographic reach.

I suppose my question is this… where are the Brazilian pop kids with guitars and fuzz pedals? Where is the stuff without string arrangements and the interminable cha cha cha shuffle? Surely there is an underground below the already explored Brazilian underground? Something grittier and dirtier…?

Yes, sat here listening to the first side. Really enjoyed this. Much more interesting.
