The first album I bought on CD. This #vinyl edition not only puts that version to shame, but obliterates the earlier wax pressing. Richard Lloyd and Robert Quine on the same album is noteworthy enough, but "classic" status requires songs and Girlfriend has them in spades. @vinylrecords
Stanley Turrentine and The Three Sounds - "Blue Hour" (1961)
One of the crown jewels of the #BlueNote catalog has been reissued. I love my mono original of this, scratches and all, but this new stereo reissue is terrific. Ideal rainy day music.
Filling another self-inflicted wound in my record collection from my great record purge of yore. I guess my thinking was it’s not my favorite Minutemen record… anyway. Glad to have it back. #vinyl#vinylCollection#nowPlaying
Sun City Girls – “Sun City Girls” (1984)
First run pressing of 1000 copies on Placebo Records
Desert landscapes, weather, people, and culture are so unique. One of the quietest places on Earth, deserts tend to produce a lot of introspection. I assume this is why some of the weirdest and most creative art, particularly music, comes out of such regions.
I could never keep up with all the output from the Sun City Girls and the two brothers that constituted its core. But that’s ok. Their first two albums are so good, with both music and silly, clever lyrics.
Anyone know if Discogs is a good place to work? They're hiring. They're not like doomed for some reason or anything, or just laid off all the good people or something? I feel like the #vinyl#music people here might know
@spacefuzz@bourgwick oh totally. I'm reconciled to the compromises of capitalism. There are a few deal breakers I'm looking out for: genuinely lunatic executive leadership and/or those with a snakey golden parachute "pump the value and sell" plan, and companies in an unbreakable financial death spiral. I've played those games. That's what I'm trying to suss out. I'm def applying

Lost In The Dream
2014 2xLP Worldwide pressing
Some outstanding early Thursday morning vibes with this one.
One of the greatest compliments you can pay ANY band is that you know it’s THEM when you hear them.
I still feel that this is their most fully realized record. Everything they do exceptionally well is on display here, and Adam Granduciel’s songwriting is at its apex.
Just stellar.
If you ever get a chance to see them live, do so.
Phenomenal. #vinyl#vinylrecords
A complete steal of a collection. 3LPs with the album, Peel sessions and Demos. I don't think the original album was meant to be in this as its not listed anywhere. It was £25 as well.
I had an online friend who helped me to find some music and send to me.
Back in 2012 an 10" vinyl record was released under the price of $10USD or less. I asked her to buy it for me. Days later she told me she got the record and we planned to pay and then send it to me.
Suddenly she disappeared from all the Internet sites, I don't know why.
Now, that vinyl record can be found at the price from $75 to $120USD.
How I hate this so much... #VinylCollector#VinylRecords#Vinyl#MusicLover

Diary
2017 U.S. 2xLP Ltd. Ed. Reissue
A monster album for me when I was in high school.
Being a total devotee of all things Sub Pop in the #90s , this one hit me in a way that none of the label’s other releases at the time.
I remember buying it on tape, & it taking me at least a week to get past the first 3 songs, because I kept rewinding it after Song For An Angel and playing those 3 over & over.
@TheVinylApe First three songs really are the best on the album. The rest of the album's still solid, but I find they all start to kind of blend together after those first few for me.
Also been meaning to compare the album to the greatest hits of the same tracks.
It's very close in detail. The album version of Frozen on Ray Of Light seems a little darker and therefore some treble on the soundstage including the strings get muffled but honestly only if you're listening for it. At least it's not a cash grab digitally compressed rubbish like alot of Greatest hits are.
