Plain Spoken Bundle

today I received the bundle with the vinyl and record player. it took a long journey from Louisville, Kentucky to Berlin, Germany.
and it´s worth every mile and worth every minute waiting for it. my excitement about it is hard to put in words. it´s been some time since I purchased a music item bringing such joy!

first of all I want to say that the service has been top throughout the waiting period. the guys from myplaydirect.com even sent an email apologizing for the delay! what a rare incident, someone apologizing to me for being late on something. besides, I didn´t expect the bundle to arrive the next day.

the whole package is just beautiful. the vinyl record, the signed, typewriter-style lyric sheet, and the turntable.
whoever had the idea to create this bundle, all who were involved in producing it, they all did a great job.
it all seems so unique, so special, and so handmade, just like John´s music. it all perfectly fits together, and it really makes me proud of having one of this bundles.

the record player with John´s name on it, is so simple but perfect. it brings back the good old feeling how to listen to music. no download, no sound discussion, no cable salad around, nothing but putting the record on the table, start it and listening. one knob for volume, one for tone.
and...it automatically stops at the end!
with the box, you can carry the player wherever you want!
nothing against an ipod, but this is much more heart and fun.

a big thank you to everyone who worked on this bundle!
