Just a primate who collects #vinyl. Music isn’t everything, but it’s an awful lot.

post-Covid has become a living, breathing repugnant nightmare.

Your friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape was already supposed to be back on Van Isle; in the loving arms of my wife + son (& ).

5 hours before my early am Tuesday flight, Air Canada CANCELLED my plane; citing “limited staff”.
Next available flight?
THURSDAY.

The Ape is stuck here in New England for another TWO fucking days; a lonely, sad, angry primate; out for Air Canada’s blood.
Stay at home people.
It’s not worth it.

@Whiskeyomega oh there’s PLENTY.
But I’ve already spent a significant amount of money, and I’m running out of storage to bring them back. I’ve got about 20. That should be good enough for this trip.
SHOULD. 😂

The soundtrack release on is fine, but I'm waiting for someone to create a top-loading single-button record player to put it in.

The Strokes - Is This It. The proper version. @vinylrecords

@TheVinylApe@masto.ai avatar

@Whiskeyomega @vinylrecords the PROPER version is right. That other cover is a travesty and I hate the track listing. This one you have is great. Someone stole mine from a party a bunch of years ago.

TELEVISION
Marquee Moon
2022 Europe reissue

One of the greatest albums ever recorded. After all these years, it’s only gotten better with age.
I can’t imagine how revelatory this album must have sounded ‘77(it came out 6 months before I was born.)
I discovered it when I was a freshman in high school in ‘92, and was instantly fascinated by both Verlaine and Lloyd’s guitar work on it.
Insane counter melodies and hooks galore!
Timeless in every sense.

JOE HENDERSON FEATURING ALICE COLTRANE
The Elements
1974 U.S. pressing (Milestone)

Jazzin’ up my breakfast on this Wednesday morning.
I bought this at a yard sale about ten years ago because I absolutely love and adore Alice Coltrane.
I think I paid one or two dollars for it, but now, original pressings like these are quite expensive, and I think they reissued it not too long ago.
Pancakes and bacon with a side of Modal Fusion, please.
For the win.

THE MAD MYSTERY SOUND
It's A Super-Spectacular Day
1980 U.S. 7” Flexi-Disc

A VERY UNIQUE RECORD!
This was a bonus record bound into the MAD Summer Special 31 in 1980.
It has EIGHT parallel grooves with eight different versions of the song. What does this mean? Well…
Its octuple-grooved, meaning that depending on where you drop the needle at the beginning, it plays a different song.
All 8 songs start out the same, then veer off in different directions.

Tortoise not @vinylrecords

Bought this the day it arrived at my local record store. They unpacked it and put it on while I was browsing - I bought it off them before the staff had heard it all the way through.

@icastico @vinylrecords John McEntire is a genius.

THE CURE
Standing On A Beach
1986 Canada pressing

I first owned this on CD, and it’s still my preferred way of listening to this great collection; due to the vinyl version’s absence of four songs.
The four songs, although not singles, all had videos made for them. I was spoiled by the CD tracklist.
My son is starting to explore The Cure, so I’m gifting this to HIM as an entry level course to Phase 1 of The Cure.

@icastico @benthos @vinylrecords as somebody who works at an amazing independently owned record store that’s been in business for 35 years, this entire thread makes me cringe. My boss’ reputation is that of being a fair businessman, and his customers have rewarded him by keeping him in business for more than 3 decades. We’re in Canada. He sells copies of Foreigner 4 for $12 CAD. IN MINT. 🙄

    @simongarlick @markmetz @vinylrecords the hippies are the biggest failures in the history of civilization.
    It is not something that can be argued. When the majority of the most recognized “leaders” of your movement (the ones that survived) say it, well, that’s a pretty big failure. ALL OF THEM SOLD OUT. Each and every one of them.

    PAVEMENT
    Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
    2010 U.S. reissue

    No offense to anybody who likes Slanted and Enchanted, but to call that Pavement’s best album when THIS ONE exists is asinine and laughable.
    It is a flawless indie rock record from start to finish, and superior to S+E in every way imaginable.
    An absolute classic and essential record.
