Just pre-ordered Joan's new album. The vinyl has 4 extra tracks.

Recent purchases:

Miles Davis - Miles Ahead (mono issue from 1957)
The Jam - All Mod Cons
Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night
Chic - Risque
Fripp & Eno - No Pussyfooting
The Jacksons - Destiny
The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers (original issue with zipper cover)
The Rolling Stones - Some Girls

I want the MFSL reissue of one of the greatest albums of all time, Elvis Costello - Imperial Bedroom. I want Blood on the Tracks too. Those things are too much for me, however. I bought so much vinyl recently... I suppose the things recently I bought that stood out were:

Rezillos - Can't Stand the Rezillos (original)



Bootsy's Rubber Band - Bootsy? Player of the Year (with removable Bootsy glasses)



Scott Pilgrim vs the World S/T (red vinyl)



I also got an Apple label copy of Revolver for $1.

My main focus has been running my existing records through that Spin Clean system. A lot of my old records are beat but I discovered lots of good stuff, like all 4 of the Smiths records and Louder than Bombs being nearly flawless after running them through the cleaner.

I have Imperial Bedroom on vinyl already, so I haven't bothered with the MFSL version...yet. But I do agree that it's an incredible record.

I just got a discwasher, and have yet to run any records through it. Gonna try and get to that this weekend.

Picked up die ärzte -- Auch today. A real nice set


Not mine, but the pics are accurate


The lyrics sheet has a game on the flip side




On the lookout Jazz ist anders for at a reasonable price

Thinking about getting the NIN Hesitation Marks and In Utero boxed set on vinyl this week.

Oh man, this MFSL issue of Blood On The Tracks sounds unbelievable. The one crappy thing about being into vinyl is that sometimes you hear a recording that is so good on record that you don't want to hear it on CD or MP3 anymore.

I have NIN on the way from Amazon. Listened to a few on the Cloud. Like what I've heard thus far.

There should be a "Like" button for this statement. Instead, I'll just give you one of these...

Same thing happened with "Too Much Too Soon", the power and fullness of the tones made it sound like I was hearing the album for the first time.

That happened to me when I listened to Wilco's Summerteeth on vinyl. It's the rare record that I actually hear a difference. I have a tin ear. I can tell good from bad but can't tell good from better.

Do you have the SACD version, by any chance? I have two copies on vinyl, the CD, MP3, SACD, and I'm really hoping you're not going to talk me into buying the MFSL version as well!!

I know I have the SACD of Blood on the Tracks but not sure if I ever listened to it. Something to do tonight.

Yes, I do. And yes, the vinyl sounds better to my ears.

Now let's try to bring back 8-tracks and cassingles! Who's with me!?

For anyone interested, Amazon has the 4LP box set of Sonic Youth Goo for $11.97.

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up. Already listed as preparing for shipment. Took 3 minutes!

Shit, already gone.

Ha, good on that Mr Boyd. I had initially bought it and then canceled the order, because I'm not familiar with Sonic Youth. I wanted it just to have it but I don't roll like that. I'd rather let an actual fan have it.

It's gone in and out of stock at that price. If you actually want it, keep an eye on it. Unfortunately, the other SY 4LP boxes aren't that cheap.

I already have the Daydream Nation box.

I went to visit my parents last weekend and mom gave me this groovy gift.

Nice.

I remember Salma Hayek doing that same style cover spread for Los Angeles Magazine back in the 90's.

You can't drop that on us and not include a pic.
