Stiff Little Fingers – Inflammable Material (1979) Label: Restless Retro – 7 72363-2 Format: CD, Album, Reissue Country: US Released: 1989 Genre: Rock Style: Punk
Puttering around in the art room, paint and stuff everywhere .. playing an old artifact from technicolor web days, 49th Parallel self-titled 1969 LP. Its a Canadian issue on Maverick (MAS 7001) copies pulling down some coin these days in the few-hundred dollar price range. Then I went to look for my homemade needledrop, instead I found a copy that appears to be a legit CD reissue I'd forgotten I had bought. It was released in 2011 on Lion Productions label, catalog- LIONPACE048LN, and states on the tray insert that it is from the original mastertapes. I know that previous CD editions were dubbed off the vinyl lp, which is why I originally made my own from a twice-played mint original I bought still sealed . I am now actually pleasantly surprised how good this 2011 remastered CD sounds. Even More surprising is the fact that master tapes were located in still usable condition for a title somewhat obscure, relatively. I guess when one considers that U.S. Decca label masters are all gone forever- destroyed - and that the tapes for a little old nearly-forgotten album like this one survived the decades, well, it's just a bit heartwarming to an old crate digger like me!

I decided I had enough live Crimson from this era in my collection, and since this line-up doesn't rely much on improvisation, I passed. I guess it must be an excellent release, though.
Listening to the legendary Hendrix set at Monterey from this box (I prefer this mix to the one in the standalone Hendrix release).
I'm not a Dead Head, but I recently reconnected with the only vinyl by the Dead that I ever bought... 'American Beauty.' I absolutely love their acoustic, country rock influenced period (albeit it was like, 2 albums), and this album just blows me away. The vocal harmonies are sublime. I've also been listening to 'Workman's Dead.' I may post about these two albums on BourbonAndVinyl.com but I need to spend some time on this... I'm going on holiday for the next week and I can't think of a better time to lay back and put on "Box of Rain."
I discovered from a thread here that there is a documentary about Coltrane on Netflix, just watched that and dug it
To my foraging habits nothing eclipses... and to Place... but also in the money... Though honestly, with about 9-10 KJ titles on the shelf, I'm not inclined to seriously argue with you past Tatum, which is the Genesis of scripture in my Sunday doxology.
