3 LP’s of pure musical joy

If you like to dig through unorganized vinyl…

Here is D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L by Panchiko.
Bought it mainly because it’s just a good album to put on and spin while you’re doing whatever.

I’m assuming probably everyone on Earth found out about them because of the whole 4chan thing, and somehow I didn’t lmao.

This is a real pretty pressing, and it sounds pretty awesome, and that’s all I can ask for. The only gripe I have is that some of the PVC wasn’t cut off the sides that well, but it doesn’t affect anything.
Bought it from the band’s Bandcamp like 3 weeks ago.

I absolutely love Nujabes.

Having finally acquired Modal Soul on vinyl feels super special.

‘Bloom’ - pressed flower filled clear vinyl

NM copy scored at my local shop for a nice price and couldn't be happier, such an early press that it was pressed with the promo plate and matrix numbers scratched out before they added the main production ones. 🫶

My mother in law was a punk in the 1980s and picked up a bunch of records through her subpop subscription. When I started collecting she let me have a look through hers and very generously gifted me this beauty.

As far as I can tell Bleach had a 1,000 white vinyl run, followed by a 2,000 black vinyl run. This belongs to the latter.

Super slick condition for an almost 40 year old record. One of my favourites.

John Lennon.

This is my favorite Lennon album and absolutely perfect for a Monday night spin.

It’s hard to even pick a favorite song from this album, they are all that good… must have been that “Lost Weeknd”

A HARD DAY'S NIGHT around the World

I have a radio show at the college where I work, and I only play vinyl. I don’t necessarily think vinyl is superior to other formats, but it helps me build a setlist if I can only play music from my collection.

Here are the records I am taking with me this week.

This album was everywhere for the summers of 95/96! It's so good, with so many hits. This album is full of power, sadness and outlook.

Grabbed this reissue 2LP edition last year. This needs to be in my regular rotation now.

If you haven't heard of him, Klaus Nomi was a classically trained singer with a six-octave vocal range who associated himself with the East Village art scene in the 70s and made some delightfully weird synthpop/new-wave music. He unfortunately passed away only five or so years into his musical career at the age of 39 due to complications from AIDS, but his artistic output lives on and it's truly unique. I've been looking for a copy of this album off and on when I visit record stores for the past couple of years, but had never seen a copy until this past weekend!

I like spoken word, comedy albums, novelty records, sound effects, weird stuff in general. Anything that sounds odd or strange. Or has a weird cover. I've got shelves full, this is a few of them.

Back in the 80s I was part of a .... I don't know what you'd call it.... we weren't a band as such... we were a loose cabal of audio enthusiasts, inspired by Double Dee & Steinski, Negativland and ppl like Baby Ford, Bomb The Bass, Coldcut, The JAMMS and so on. We used to sample a lot of these type of records on our releases. That's ancient history now but I kept hold of the records and still buy stuff if I see it cheap.

I got that Wilma Flintstone Tells the Story of Bambi quite recently. - great crossover experiment. I didn't really want the Josef Goebbels but someone gave it to me as a joke and it is quite funny listening.... screaming nazi propaganda.

I found the LSD documentary album cheap... and then I found the promo version, that was a good day. Apart from that - poetry, sound fx (the air force one is good), Signor Rossi &c &c.

Hi!

A couple of friends and I are opening a small boutique vinyl store in Maribor, Slovenia. We are at the point where we have to start thinking about the kind of display/browsing storage we want to use.

We were thinking about a simple "box" setup with genre labels and bands in between records. What browsing setup do you guys prefer? A simple "box" setup or a multilevel setup where records are in two or more levels?

Thanks!

New to collecting records and I just got 2 of my favorite albums in. So far I have 3

Wondering if anybody else picked up the 7” release back in 2004 and if so, anybody with a number less than 21. I can’t remember how many were produced, there’s some on eBay that are in the number 1000 range.

I visited six different record stores during my vacation in Catalonia: five in Barcelona and one in Vilanova i la Geltrú.

I was mainly looking for Spanish and Catalan releases, both new and used.

Here are a few of my favorite finds.

Falcons is a funky, cosmic group from Mallorca; I found the 7-inch single at Angelita Records.

El Aviador Dro is a Madrid-based group from the 80s. They play a fairly raw synth-pop, quite similar to early Human League or Kraftwerk records (found at Barcelona City Records).

Los Cheyenes is a beat/garage band from Barcelona; their 7-inch singles are quite hard to find and often excellent. One of the best groups in this style in Spain. I found the record at Discos Redondos.

Another find at Discos Redondos: an LP by Toti Soler. Toti Soler is a Catalan guitarist inspired by flamenco and bossa nova. Magnificent album.

A new reissue of Vainica Doble's first album from EGE Botiga. A cult Spanish duo, very interesting music, worth discovering!

An excellent 70s album by Catalan singer Pau Riba, rock with influences like Lou Reed. Found (used) at EGE as well.

A 45 rpm record by the Andalusian group Smash. Pioneers of Andalusian rock, but in their early days they played energetic heavy psych! Found at EGE.

A 45 rpm record by La Mosca, a short-lived group produced by Los Pekenikes. Very good in the hard rock/latin rock genre too, with organ. Found at EGE.

Do I even need to introduce the Argentinian Charly Garcia? Perhaps his best-known solo album. It has just been reissued by the Spanish label Munster, and I found the reissue at Kebra Disc.

Solera's only album is a marvel of post-Beatles pop influenced by CSN&Y. Found used at Angelita Records.

The Ros 7-inch single is a highly sought-after record in Spain. Here is the recent reissue on Munster. Magnificent for those who love sixties soul. Found new at Angelita Records.

Another find at EGE: a new reissue of Triana's "El Patio," a classic of Andalusian rock and a marvel of spanish progressive rock.

Pata Negra's first album, a new reissue found at Revolver Records. A cult flamenco group in Spain. This album by the group is quite different and features magnificent instrumental flamenco pieces.

Last picture is all my summer finds :)

I finally got around to organising my records some time ago, and I’ve since realised how useful it’s been in making sense of my musical journey. It’s definitely reached the point where I need to be far more restrained in what I buy, but that in itself has become a useful exercise in "curation".

Also, if you’re just starting out: for the love of God, it’s never too early to catalogue!

Looks great sounds great , they gotta be 180 gram or more
