I have been afer something on vinyl by Thomas Dolby for quite some time. I was so pleased to come across this. Apart from the well known hits like 'Hyperactive' and 'She Blinded Me With Science' I am particularly taken with side four of the vinyl, which introduces a real lounge jazz feeling. Tracks I have never heard before but instantly connected with. I recently saw Thomas Dolby live and his dedication to David Bowie was awesome, now if I could get that on vinyl....
