NPR says it better than I could: “Almost 50 years after Journey In Satchidananda was released, the album remains a vision of universal healing, spiritual self-preservation in times of trouble and the god that appears when you seek her out."
A bit of #pop#punk from #Wales on a Sunday morning, just for a change.
My son bought this Neck deep album nine years ago and it remained sealed until this morning, when we cracked it open. I feel the same way about sealed #vinyl as I feel about sealed #games: pointless.
Hey, Soul fans; if you're in Kirkby Lonsdale this afternoon, why not join ProfDJ for four hours of soul - yes, its Soul Sunday at the Royal Barn (New Rd.) again.
They'll be timeless classics, northern soul, some Motown, a bit of southern soul, but everyone's a treat (and all played on vinyl).
You can expect to hear: Aretha, Marvin, O'Jays & Love Unlimited and so much more
See you there! Kicks off around 2.00 & runs through to 6.00(ish).
I bought a reissue of this in Tuesday. Listened on Wednesday only to discover it was a compressed digital reissue nothing to do with the Sterling cut of the original pressing that's only just gone out of issue and replaced due to no longer having access to the master tapes due to a fire.
So I returned said reissue and bought a 2nd hand original. What a difference. The original is true Analogue tape cut onto vinyl. Love this album.
have been wanting a copy for a while - just found at the local record fair. The cover is a bit discoloured, but the vinyl looks great - fingers crossed it will be when listening later today. 1982 Japanese pressing. #vinyl#jazz@vinylrecords

Will be playing a late (for me) Twitch set at 11pm UK time tonight!
It's part of the 45 Day (4th of the 5th) raid train, dedicated to the humble 7"/45 RPM vinyl, with every DJ playing a set entirely on that format. This is hilarious for someone like me who has giant hands 😆 Expect dancehall, Hip-Hop, and some other bits - with content warning!
Fucking Amazon sent me the wrong record (I never order from them, but they were the only place I found what I was looking for). It’s hard to be mad at the result - however- as this is stellar.
I mean what can I say about this album that hasn't already been said about this album. Apart from Hoppipola. The rest of the songs can't be listened to on their own. The whole thing demands attention. Definitely their greatest work.
A bit of a shame they were never great with quality control on their vinyl. I'm wet cleaning this as I go along and still getting pops and crackle. Hopefully next year this being 20 years old it gets a proper reissue by Pallas or Optimal or even Record Industry pressings anythings better than Takt Direct
Bob Fartblossom, aka Bob Durkee, was a kind of local underground celeb where I grew up. After putting out releases from his own band (Pillsbury Hardcore) he started his own label and put out bands like Justice League, Three Day Stubble, and Subculture. I’d buy pretty much anything on the label in the mid to late 80s.
This has become a bit of a novelty item since it’s Dave Grohl’s first band.
Comes with glossy fold-out insert with photos, and “thanks” list, a postcard, and the text "David Grohl destroys Tama drums exclusively” in the lower left corner.
Also, engraved on one side's runoff is the message "Everything Matters" while on the other side is etched "Time Doesn't Matter".
