With the acquisition of LGTRS I will now have every Rolling Stones DVD released on Blu Ray from 1990 backwards. I love the quality of the sound.

The Beatles 1+. All the videos across 2 DVDs. Makes utter shite of everyone else, ever. They are the kings.

Declan

Not much as I used to do because I buy most of my music as downloads now...

Larry Sloman - On the road with Bob Dylan (French edition)

CD's
Bob Dylan - Live 1975 (Bootleg series)

I only buy physical media.

A couple recent standouts from the last couple of months:

Hey, I forgot that I bought Sticky Fingers deluxe!!...and a few books...but they're for work and grad class.

Kinda pathetic, I know.

I guess, if you call it physical media, the illustrated first Harry Potter book for my daughter for this past Christmas. She loves Potter and the book is beautifully illustrated. I should have gotten a copy for myself.

Beatles 1+

An SSD drive for my iMac.

I only buy physical...... I only downloaded once, and that was 'Brussels Affair' from the 'Stones Archive.' It sounded terrible compared to my bootleg copy. I'll stick to Vinyl or CD's in future. As for books..... I love second hand bookshops. I like the smell of a book, I need to be able to hold it, and when I have finished them I put them on a shelf. They have personality.... Kindles do not, they are cold and lifeless. When you finish a book on a Kindle it's like the story just disappears like a fart in the wind! Not for me......

Far too many to mention, but the last C.D I bought was a few days ago.... Neil Youngs Bluenote cafe. The last vinyl was Starsailor by Tim Buckley.(Pricey) The last book was The Go-Between by L.P Hartley.

Hahaha "When you finish a book on a Kindle it's like the story just disappears like a fart in the wind"!

Thankfully, I wouldn't know as I've never 'kindled'.
I'm in the process of going through about 50 boxes filled with books that belonged to my late brother. Loads of history there, and when I finish weeding through them all I'll add them to my own personal library which consists of hundreds of books (close to a thousand ?)- mostly art, and some music, history, philosophy, and theology. I don't own much fiction, but there are a few classics amidst the wall of books that take up a nice sized section of my art studio. Add the 15' x 15'+ wall of vinyl, 6 large bookshelves filled with cd's, a 7' stack of cassette boxes, and seven guitars, and I could probably keep myself occupied and entertained for 1,000 years. Thankfully my studio is a good sized warehouse, otherwise I wouldn't have much room to be doing what I'm supposed to be doing - creating art. Not digital, but physical art.

And yes - I forgot to add Neil at the Bluenote cafe to my above list (now edited).

The most recent thing I bought was "A Whole Lotta Jerry Lee Lewis: The Definitive Retrospective". It's a really great 4 CD set

just got the first Manassas album, due to the thread about 'Potted Shrimp'

I'd forgotten how much I liked that band. Great mix of music and players.

Also- from the vault Hampton and the Marquee

Jason Isbell's SOMETHING MORE THAN FREE
Keith Richards' CROSSEYED HEART

A standing subscription to Coastal Living magazine as well as a about-to-be-cancelled subscription to the "Sunday" edition of a newspaper that went down the toilet years ago.

Rolling Stones Live in Leeds 1982 2 CD + DVD
Keith Richards Crosseyed Heart LP + CD
Chuck Berry Rockin' at the Hops Lp
Eric Clapton Crossroads 2013 Lp

I haven't actually bought much recently but I did get the Beatles' 1+ Blu-Ray 3 disc set for Christmas and I also won this lot in a Universal Facebook Christmas prize draw.

What is that small "Sticky Fingers" box? Don't know it.

It's this one.
Two CDs and the two track Marquee DVD.
The booklet is only photos without Nick Kent's essay.
Completely pointless if you ask me.



The mini sleeves are nice, though.

beatles mono vinyl box, keef's new(ish) cd and brubeck/bennett live concert from 1962.
