Regrets, I've had a few...

I only listened to the Chemical Brothers' "Dig Your Own Hole" once (up until last week), but I still didn't regret buying it. There are only three LPs which I actually wish I had never bought. There was Mark Stewart's "As The Veneer Of Democracy Starts To Fade", which was bought on the strength of a brilliant set at ULU, but the sound was more electronic and experimental on record than live. I also bought the Redskins' "Neither Washington Nor Moscow" again largely because of a live performance (supporting the Dead Kennedys in late 1982), but by the time they released the album their musical style had shifted a lot from punk towards soul. And finally, there was Kingmaker's "Eat Yourself Whole", purchased at the late lamented Tower Records after a few pints, which I hated as soon as I heard it.
