è il negozio di dischi presente in "Alta fedeltà", il romanzo di Nick Hornby. L' habitat naturale per misantropi individui che si muovono agilmente su e giù per le scale del pentagramma, tra gli scaffali colmi e ben catalogati di "oro nero, lucido e circolare". Più semplicemente, il regno dei feticisti della seconda arte. Se vi sentite attratti da questo gruppo come una stella verso il buco nero, se parlando di cucina, meteorologia o del tubo del lavabo che si è rotto, arrivate sempre, inspiegabilmente a parlare di musica e, innanzitutto, se riuscite a riconoscere un'opera osservandola di notte, in una oscura galleria, con un palmo di polvere e coperta con un telo, questo è il gruppo che fa per voi, garantito.

Bauhaus - Bela Lugosi's Dead (Original)
Championship Vinyl Shop, exhibitor n° 023

"Bela Lugosi’s Dead" is the first single by Bauhaus and was recorded on January 26, 1979, at Beck Studios in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, England, 23 years after the death of the famous actor. With a length of nine and a half minutes, recorded in a single take, it immediately caught the attention of the small independent label Small Wonder, which decided a few months later to release it as a single without any further modifications. A cult track of the darkwave movement, it has since been covered by various artists, from Sepultura to Nouvelle Vague, including Until December, Opera IX, and many others.
I’ll close with a little anecdote about the actor. Legend has it that the actor was so comfortable in the role of the vampire count that he insisted on being buried in his historic cape, prompting his friend and colleague Peter Lorre to remark during the funeral, “Are we sure we don’t need to drive a stake through his heart first?”

Jimi Hendrix - Machine Gun (Audio)

There are several more or less lengthy versions of this magnificent piece that emerged from a jam session intersecting student protests and anti-war demonstrations, particularly against the Vietnam War that was being fought at that time. Presenting this song at Berkeley, JH said: "I would like to dedicate this song to the 'soldiers' who here in Berkeley are fighting, you know well which soldiers I'm talking about... and of course, also to the soldiers in Vietnam, and I want to dedicate it to other people who are fighting different wars, perhaps with themselves, not facing reality."
This studio version of Machine Gun was then heavily reworked in '75 by the producer and reduced to 7:30, a change that was not well received by fans, as the producer had brought in session musicians to overdub drums, bass, and even guitar parts that were missing or, in his words, "of poor sound quality" and nothing... actually no, long live Vinyl!
