Thanks Mickey. It's my Irish half you have to thank for that.
I bought the original vinyl shortly after its release in the late seventies. I recorded it to cassette and left the LP behind when I left Ireland to return home in the eighties. The tape is worn out now.
I can listen to the digital release via DDG's ad free view of YT but I want the CD case and artwork, sleeve notes etc. I'd like very much to support the re-release by buying the disc if it's at all possible.
MIG emailed me straight back and asked where I am and where I shop for records. I've mailed back with HMV and Rough Trade as two outlets that are within a reasonable distance from home.
Short rant;
The "digital first" approach that many services now try to get everyone buying into doesn't work for me. Payments are often stopped by the need to return a link that they want to send to my non existent "smart" 'phone - grrr. I could receive that security link by email but I do not give out my email address generally. You have to be very important to me to get that. Internet banking is not in that category.
I remain defiant. I am not a digital entity. I disagree with most online account Ts&Cs as is my right. It is a matter of choice not a legal requirement.
Pardon me for being belligerent about it.
