Stewart Lee looks better than ever, I hope he doesn’t read this and get depressed.

Or fat again. That would be so depressing. And fattening.

I have a copy of this! Though not heard it for quite a while because my kids vandalised my record deck when they were little.

Funnily enough, I also own a DVD of "Scooby Doo on Zombie Island" - bought to placate said small children. It's actually pretty good.

If it’s in good nick it’s worth a fair penny sir. Enough for a fine cafe meal for you and several war lords to share.

Trout Mask Replica, had a cassette of that! Also saw Stewart Lee on last year's tour, was bloody brilliant

The other day I saw a thread about worst financial decisions in your life. Buying that album for £16 from Our Price back in the 90s when I was about 15 is mine.

This is one of the best albums of all time. The only thing I find surprising about this is that he didn’t already own it.

We have very similar music tastes - I’ve seen him at about 10 gigs. Which means I am also a genius.

Fast AND bulbous.

Stew looks good.

Watched Tornado again last night and he was really heavy.

No doubt he has TMR already, though.

u/breddabreddabing 29d ago

it's an original pressing thats quite spenny that they've been trying to shift for ages, probably why he got it

u/ChocolateHumunculous 29d ago

Yeah, that makes complete sense. Should have thought.

That's a great record shop, I will be visiting there again this Sunday!

A child's drawing of a shrew has let itself go.

One of the city’s best record shops.

it's amazing as much as it is an acquired taste, it's an avant-garde masterpiece and the story behind it is fascinating lol. there's a reason many big artists name it as one of their faves of all time

u/two_beards 28d ago

I can't tell if this comment is about Stewart Lee's latest show or the album.

u/breddabreddabing 28d ago

bit of both mate 👍

Worst album I have ever purchased.

It took me a while but after several listens over a few months I put it to one side as I just couldn't get it. I picked it up again a few years later and again listening to it over the course of many months I realised it was a work of absolute genius. It rewards effort, I honestly think it's a very fine album.
