Used to listen to This band alot before u got into vinyl. Suddenly discovered for some reason some bands want to keep their vinyl releases very limited and also restricted to sale in just the US.
So this is the best ones for Both Part one and two. Both from Newbury Comics in the US . I actually found them on Ebay from a bloke in Aberdeen Scotland.
Adding to my new found love for Synth Pop. I keep listening to this album. I think they could have done better with the mastering of this album for a 2xLP and I would have preferred just to be able to get black with the way this is cut so low the surface noise gets in the way. But still a great sounding album
I've been merging Southern Sun / Ready Steady Go the single on Discogs after there were 2 master releases and duplicate releases as a result. So only right I play the album.
The wise tree wook, Mr. Cest La Vie, encouraged me to start sharing some of my favorite old albums with you fine folks of the interwebz. I like the dude, so imma do it.
This is one of my most beloved “blues” albums. I made the quotes cuz Lonnie shouldn’t be put in a box. His guitar playing is waaaay jazzy, and clean and beautiful.
PS: he was working as a janitor a month before this recording.
Incoming small crop of vinyl from RetroPop in Sherbrooke, Quebec: Genesis - Foxtrot (Supper's Ready!)/ Laurie Anderson - Big Science (O Superman!)/ Ten Years After - A Space in Time (their best)/ Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear (the group with which I'm currently on an obsessive deep dive).
Commissioned by Alice Tully, Messiaen's composition in commemoration of the U.S. bicentennial was inspired by the landscapes of Utah—Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Cedar Breaks. Alex Ross calls it, "...perhaps Messiaen's greatest achievement." @vinylrecords#vinyl
Pailhead – “Don't Stand In Line” EP (1988)

One of the more interesting collaborations, featuring Ian MacKaye, Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen, Ministry bassist Paul Barker, and drummer Eric Spicer from Naked Raygun.
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 👊
