WE DID IT! 🥳
Although at £47.99 it's still too expensive, but at least it's going in the right direction.
We discuss it briefly on the new Plural Pod. Also, we're joined by Phil from Sister Ray, who talks about vinyl distribution and how it affects the price of new records.
Recording the Plural Pod, the last before we go to our summer specials.
This episode will be live, as usual, on Friday.
There will be Blur... I repeat... there will be Blur.

Let us know below.

Thanks for all of the responses so far. Well worth reading through the replies to realise you’re amongst friends. For some, this will be used to justify more purchases and, for others, it provides comfort about those already bought.
