This week, ordered, not yet arrived: - Danzig, Black Laden Crown, orange vinyl - Sonic Youth, Evol, UK, Blast First, 1986 And a few CDs as well
I once found multiple copies of "Moonshake" w/ picture sleeve at a local thrift store. Unfortunately, something heavy had apparently been set on them, and most were broken. I kept one good one and may have bought one to sell, I can't remember. Just an odd find.
I went into Harvest Records in West Asheville a couple weeks ago and they had The Charlatans on the back wall. Been looking for that record for years. Way more than I'd intended to spend, but I had to have it. Can now sell my crappy Eva bootleg.
10" LP of Christmas songs by Canadian artists, 1953 to 1966. The only big name on it is Hank Snow, but some Canadian music fans may recognize Barry Allen or Ted Daigle.
Budgie S/T on Kapp Sonny Stitt - Blows the Blues Clockwork Orange - OST Movie Soundtrack (some cool classical on here)
Einstein's Sister - Learning Curves. They're a local midwest band that just reissued their 1998 favorite on remastered yellow wax. Great power-pop.
The new reissues of The Carpenters Horizon and Now & Then. Both sucked. Bad pressings...sub par mastering. Shameful given their heritage. But the new Gwen Steffani Christmas album I just got is fantastic if you like holiday music. Its a very fun listen, and even her original songs are outstanding. And a great sounding pressing. And the vinyl media shows off the cover very nicely.
I took a trip down to The Kiam Records Shop this morning in Nyack, NY. I got the following records: 1. Yes- Yessongs 2. James Gang- Bang 3. Superman: The Movie OST 4. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer- Welcome my Friends to the Show that Never Ends... 5. Huey Lewis and the News- Picture This 6. James Taylor- S/T 7. George Carlin- Toledo Window Box
Tom Waits- Raindogs. Most I have spent on a single lp at this point. Looked near mint but decent amount of clicks and pops. However the vinyl brings out the dimension of the recording I never heard on the cd release. Might have to continue searching for a perfect copy.
It took several years, but I finally hunted down a NM copy of this LP: (The Z is the late great Pete Zorn)
1. Wishbone Ash ‘Live Dates’ Japan 2LP c/w Blue Obi (1st Press?) 2. Margo Price ‘All American Made’ 3. Wishbone Ash ‘Wishbone 4’ Japan LP 4. The Bangles ‘Different Light’ Japan LP 5. J. Geils Band ‘Monkey Island’ Japan WLP 6. Flying Burrito Brothers ‘Last of the Red Hot Burritos’ Japan WLP 7. Dexter Gordon ‘Dexter Rides Again’ Japan LP 8. The Railway Children ‘Reunion Wilderness’ Japan LP 9. Graham Parker ‘The Up Escalator’ Japan LP 10. The War On Drugs ‘A Deeper Understanding’
