I wasn't judging anyone. Truly or untruly.

I just think we need to be chopping down fewer trees and creating less future landfill. We all have this stuff. If not- get a copy from eBay for pennies and blag the "rare" stuff from anyone on here.


The school I work in has recently taken to issuing every diner's salad, sauce, coleslaw, carrots and sundry vegetable accompaniments in seperate, individual plastic containers. A colleague arrived with a tray bearing her chips and beef stew (in a polystyrene box) alongside FOUR additional plastic containers (each the size of your fist) bearing her sundry healthy accompaniments. All totally un-necessary. Not needed. Could ALL have been put on a washable plate with a washable spoon. All served and eaten with disposable plastic cutlery.

Part of me died seeing that too. I didn't judge her for the lunch she had bought. It cost her less than £2. What a bargain for us all. The plastic is here forever and no-one charges the canteen a penny for generating it and not dealing with its disposal.




I guess I don't see physical music releases as disposable. I don't love excess packaging on products, and I think the whole recycling thing is just an excuse to waste even more energy in the production chain. What I love about music products is the endless reselling that occurs. Maybe some people are throwing their cds out, but more greenhouse gases are produced from endless banks of servers hosting digital streaming platforms than the off gases from decaying cds.

Any way you slice it, the products industry isn't going away, but ultimately the consumer makes the choice of what to purchase. I certainly get mad at all the crappy RSD product being churned out twice a year, but all I can do is not buy it.

A bit more info would be good, there's a few other things on their facebook page which has 41 followers unless it's a whole new side project for the main company.


This is 'apparently' their main website which looks legit,

I've ordered a couple of things from them in the past, including the marvellous International Teachers of Pop album recently. 'Twas all fine and dandy.

If anyone was waiting for the ludicrous price of £65 of this to drop to something more sensible, then Amazon currently have it at a much more reasonable £31.49 here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AUTOGEDDON-25TH-ANNIVERSARY-BOXES-VINYL/dp/B07PZM48LD/?tag=sdepcw-21

Good timing as it's out this Friday.

Let us know what it's like, I am intrigued to know if there's any substantial improvement in sound at all. I thought the original had a great sound, so definitely curious.

With the saving I made on buying this on amazon I could justify picking up the new Urthona vinyl. Fantastic discount. Although looks like this has sold out at Amazon

Oh, my copy has just arrived. It appears I just ordered the CD - probably sensible as I have all the originals already! Looks nice, let's see what it sounds like...
