Black Flag – "Six Pack" (1981)
7" 45 RPM
Original SST pressing with black & white cover
This class punk anthem reminds me of the initial appeal I found in punk rock and underground music in general. Savage mockery of the worst parts of popular American culture, as it was at the time anyway.
Angry outsiders. The innately anti-authoritarian. These are my people!
Released 43 years ago this month, as @historyofpunkrock noted recently 👊
Pailhead – “Don't Stand In Line” EP (1988)
7", 45 RPM on Wax Trax! Records
One of the more interesting collaborations, featuring Ian MacKaye, Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen, Ministry bassist Paul Barker, and drummer Eric Spicer from Naked Raygun.
@Whiskeyomega That’s always been true of the higher quality jackets. But with the dual-pocket VSS sleeves, I never have the LPs in them…they’re entirely separate, in their own pocket.
@dnanian Im looking forward to hearing the INXS - Kick pressing their doing as I have an original on 1x33 and ive had the Abbey road half master on 2x45 and they sounded the same.
There’s something immensely satisfying about dropping a needle on a vinyl record and hearing that initial warm hum and crackle that somehow draws you in for the music that’s about to start. It’s immersive, and I’ve been missing that.
@flockofnazguls I feels like when you pop a movie into the player and it makes that big movie sound before the show starts and your snuggling into the couch with a blanket and a snack
From 60s R&B funk to sludge metal in the mid-2010s, a couple of 45s from classic New Orleans bands, The Meters and Eyehategod. Picked up at local NOLA recod shop, Sisters In Christ, along with a fun tote.
@billyjoebowers What a nice surprise! What I've been posting here lately is records I've had stashed away for years and haven't seen in a long time. It's been fun seeing what remains, including the various inserts. Also, some have surprisingly good value per Discogs.
I'd love to see some of your albums. I'm sure there's some good stuff found via your role at a distributor (I worked at an independent record store in the late 80s - early 90s, did a lot of buying used and ordering imports for myself lol)
Yeah, my wife was a big collector for years. I had no money ever until the late 80s early 90s, and then I worked at a distributor. So there's a short period that we have tons of stuff from and then nothing as we moved into new jobs.
Sure, it isn't #TSSTB or #IKSOSE3, but Vaxis 1: Unheavenly Creatures is some pretty great late era #CoheedAndCambria and better than Vaxis 2. Plus, the triple LP #vinyl is awesome.
