The Smiley Smile Message Board

So hopefully this hasn't been done before, I tried searching and sorting by replies but didn't find anything.

Anyway, how about a thread for posting our most recent physical purchase(s) whether it be vinyl/cd or whatever? so maybe at the weekend or whenever you might go to your local record shop or shop online and buy something and maybe post a picture of the stuff you bought and even the shop (if not online or when it arrives, if online). I buy stuff pretty much every weekend so presume some others do too.

I had a bit of a splurge today which is why I thought about making this thread.

Two from discogs arrived in the post and then I went out and collected 8 records from a website called http://www.recordsale.de/ which has a pick point at a shop called Leila M (not posting pic as its just a pick up point as far I know for recordsale.de) here in Berlin. Germany.

so here is the list for today:

LP: John Hartford,Housing Project
LP: John Hartford,Gentle on my Mind & Other Originals
LP:Harry Nilsson,Knnillssonn:
LP:Slim Whitman,Slim Whitman Sings:
LP:Microdisney,Crooked Mile:
LP:Steve Earle,Exit 0:
LP:Roy Brown,Hard Luck Blues:
LP:The Everly Brothers,It's Everly Time:
LP:Glen Campbell,Wichita Lineman:
LP:The Dubliners,Seven Drunken Nights:

and hopefully the image works...

Beans, tomato sauce, beer, and bananas.  nothing else.

I didn't buy anything today, but if it interests you I bought the Spirit of America compilation on iTunes (just for Break Away) last week.
It's not a physical release, but that's all I have right now.

Nothing today, but yesterday I got Pokemon White for the DS and Sonic Riders for the PS2

Come to think of it, I think this thread belongs in the Sandbox!

a new pair of stilettos

I spent $12 on a six pack of small tweezers yesterday.

I continue to contemplate my ability to handle expenditures.

I actually do like the idea of this thread.

The most recent thing to arrive at my home is Alex Chilton's Free Again: The "1970" Sessions. I haven't had a chance to listen yet, but I have high hopes for it. He was in between in the Box Tops and about to join Big Star. His writing must have been flourishing. There's even a few interesting covers: "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Sugar Sugar."

When I went to an actual record store, I bought a bunch of CDs (I'm afraid my record player doesn't appear to be in great repair).
I bought:

The Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies & Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One
Captain Beefheart - Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)
Scott Walker - Scott
Lee Hazlewood - Something Special
Big Star - Live
The Beach Boys - Surfer Girl/Shut Down Volume 2 twofer

‍

Food.

Last music purchase was The Big Beat 1963.

Thanks guys, lots of hilarious replies to work through there  :lol

I'm a huge big star/chilton fan and bought the 1970 release from Omnivore when it came out. While its not up to Big Star standard IMO, its got some really cool stuff on it. I also bought the recent release on bar none of Chiltons "Electricity by Candlelight" which I love though I can see its for obsessives due to rec quality, its got 3 BB covers including "Solar System".

Lee Hazlewood is a guy I have just recently been getting into. I got the LHI years double lp which was beautifully put together by light in the attic. Getting some more Lee soon.

I bought almost no music between maybe 2006 and 2010 as it was all about the file sharing but I really missed the record shop experience and building a collection. I started just buying vinyl from then on and eh....cant seem to stop now... 8)

I just bought my first pair of glasses today.

They have tonight helped me to better read the back cover notes of a mid 70's Australian Vinyl Edition of The Beach Boys Christmas album that I bought last Sunday - it's near mint, so pretty happy with that.

I gave it a test playing on the weekend, but it was 38 degrees celsius (100 F), so when Frosty came on, it was a bit of a mind-frack.

Very nice. I got two Christmas albums in December (Smokey Robinson & the Miracles Christmas +  A Motown Christmas double lp) but never got round to listening to them before Christmas was over. Cant bring myself to listen to them now that its January.

I'm a huge fan, too (if it wasn't obvious :P). I haven't gotten around to listening to Radio City yet, but #1 Record and Third/Sister Lovers are indispensable records for me. Honestly some of the best music that's been made. In fact, I just listened to #1 Record today. It's almost like a place I can escape to and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
I love Third/Sister Lovers very much. It's one of the records I listen to most often.

I like Chilton's solo work, too (and "I Am the Cosmos" by Chris Bell is one of my favorite songs; if you haven't heard it - you probably have - it's a wonderful song). I also listened to A Man Called Destruction this morning. It's a fine record, but I can't help but feel like he could have been doing so much better.
I've been waiting to buy Free Again for a while and Omnivore put up a deal during their Christmas sales. Apparently, they found a box of the limited EP they made for "All We Ever Got from Them Was Pain." Has the original mix on one side and a demo version on the other side. With that, I just had to finally buy it.

I've also been trying to find Bach's Bottom and Like Flies on Sherbert for a while. They seem like good, interesting albums, but they're tough ones to find.

Yeah, Lee is pretty great.  I'm glad that LitA is putting out the new Lee reissues. I bought the box set they put out not too long ago. The packaging is lovely: there's stories from people who knew him, liner notes for his four albums that are included, bios on all of the artists who were signed to LHI, and the photos are great and plentiful - including photos of LHI's entire discography.
The music is great, also. Like I mentioned, there's four Lee albums plus a decent amount of his unreleased material and all the singles that were released from the period. Then, there's also two other discs of songs from LHI artists, like the International Submarine Band, Last Friday's Fire, Don Randi, a one-off supergroup with Glen Campbell, etc..

Some really cool stuff.

You gotta listen to Radio City asap. I find it impossible to pick a favourite between no 1 rec, radio city and sister/3rd. I got the record store day tape box release of 3rd a couple of years back which is fantastic.

(http://assets.rootsvinylguide.com/pictures/big-star-3rd-third-box-set-test-pressing-edition-new-sealed_922868)

I also quite liked the "in space" record from a few years back, kinda like a cross between big star and Chiltons more slack solo approach. I found Bach's Bottom and Like Flies on Sherbert at a record fair/flea market a few years back. I really like BB, "like flies" is one I don't listen to as much though I like it.

Love Chris Bell solo stuff too. I was reading through his lyrics recently and hadn't realised quite how much he was getting into the reborn christian stuff

Have you checked out the "nothing can hurt me" doc yet?

Excellent, yep, more Lee stuff is definitely on my list.

[/quote]

I've been wanting to listen to Radio City for quite some time now, but I haven't really found the right time to do it yet. Same thing with Nothing Can Hurt Me. I've been wanting to watch for a while and it's even on Netflix yet. But, I haven't found the right time to sit down and watch. I definitely plan on getting around to watching it sometime.
That release of Third is pretty cool. You're lucky you were able to get your hands on it.

I've been wondering whether on not I should check out In Space. It seems like reviews are pretty indifferent about it, but, if you say so, I'll give it a listen.

I like Chris Bell's stuff, too. I've only listened to a few tracks here and there (I've got the I Am the Cosmos release from a few years back) and the title song and "You and Your Sister" are fantastic songs. He's definitely under appreciated when it comes to his role in Big Star. He was just as important, if not more important, as Alex in creating Big Star and their sound. Nice to see people are coming around to see that nowadays.

I love the first song "Dony" - Its got a classic Big Star feel while "Turn my back on the sun" is a cool pop song which recycles the "WIBN" opening. Good bit of filler on the album too.

Some people still buy music? :o

I would hope everyone who listens does, whether in a physical or digital format. Otherwise s/he is an asshole (and a thief). Most musicians need the money, and all of them deserve it (if you're going to listen to them).

Recent vinyl purchases:

Louis Armstrong - in concert 1956
Frank Sinatra - Strangers in the Night
2001 A Space Odyssey soundtrack
Jefferson Airplane - Takes Off

and an Otto Klemperer conducted Beethoven's Symphony No.7 which has yet to arrive.

Recent digital:

Nada Surf - Let Go
Elliott Smith - Xo

and U2's Invisible (free download today) - not very good...I hope the album has better cuts than this.

I bought a couple of cheap records this weekend

(http://s30.postimg.org/gsgf5zbs1/02022014.jpg)

The Walker Brothers: Portrait
The Temptations: A Taste of Honey and other favorites

Arrived just as the shop (Q Tip Records - Berlin) was closing so just grabbed these quickly. Been here a few times though and its a really cool place. Will be back for a better look soon.

(http://record-shops.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/qtip02.jpg)

Just joking. Geez! Sorry you took it so personally.

Didn't take it personally at all. Just responding with my opinion.

‍

From Amazon:

Os Mutantes (self titled)

The Kinks - Muswell Hillbillies

I just buy everything music related off amazon these days unless an ebay or discogs seller can match the price. My end of month payday splurge consisted of

1/ Syd Barrett - Opel.  A couple of stunning performances aside this was mainly a barrel scraping effort.
2/ Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Let Love In.   I don't know why it took me so long to get into these guys.
3/ Ken Nordine - Word Jazz.    Interesting but not quite as musical based as I hoped it would be.
4/ (DON'T LAUGH) William Shatner - The Transformed Man.    I'm not sure if this is really good or really, really bad.
5/ Brand X - Unorthodox Behaviour.  Going to check this out today.
6/ Genesis - Abcab.  Still in the post and two albums featuring Phil Collins in a row!! Hang my head in shame.

I disagree. For what it is, it's quite a good compilation. Great originals include Opel and Dolly Rocker. Also, it's got an excellent version of Dark Globe, and the best version of Clowns and Jugglers (originally released as Octopus).
Throw in Bob Dylan Blues, Rhamadan, and the unreleased Pink Floyd songs Scream Thy Last Scream and Vegetable Man, and you've got yourself an album just as essential as The Madcap Laughs and Barrett!

Funny the songs that you quoted are the ones that I liked. I also liked Lanky. I much prefer the more 'normal' version of Dark Globe.

Since i had the original Captiol Albums box sets I got The Beatles "Yesterday"...And Today CD today, plus I love the packaging of it.

Also finally picked up a CD copy of ZZ Top's Tres Hombres [one with the bonus live tracks] since I've had the LP for ages but lack a record player at uni :(

Good ol' HMV

Jeremy Messersmith's Heart Murmurs. Haven't listened yet but soon will, and am pretty excited.

Bo Diddley's Beach Party
Kraftwerk - Autobahn
Metric - Synthetica
Bad Brains - Bad Brains
Paul McCartney - McCartney II
New Order - The Singles
Arcade Fire - Reflektor
Buddy Holly - Gold

Picked up a couple of things this weekend. Most interesting to all of you would probably be the Spring LP. The sleeve has some wear, but the disc itself is pristine. Paid a little more for it than I would have liked, but this was at a store that caters to collectors, so he knew what he was selling.

Nothing yet, but I've got $4.86 left in iTunes credits burning a hole in my virtual pocket...

INXS-Kick

Massive resurgence here in Australia.

Amanda Hart scores again!!! :lol You live in some kind of BB collectors Eldorado, the stuff you come across. Nice find, v envious - such a great album and would be rather a treat to hear on vinyl.

I today chanced upon the Japanese 1975 vinyl pressing of Summer Days (which I'm listening to now) - while no biggie I'm sure, I did find some mirth courtesy of the translation losses on the accompanying lyric sheet.

I know it's hardly new/s for many (there's even a dead thread here (and I'm guessin' a blog or website somewhere coverin' the followin'), but here's a quick couple of favs;

Salt Lake City; "And the way the kids, tuck so cool,  is an out of sight thing - and the number one, Male fishin' makes the, town really slick, Yea"

Amusement Parks; "at first you'll be a chicken after jerkin' a ride"

Cal Girls - "I've been all around this cryptin' world"

Next up - an 80s untitled pressing of Hollywood Dream by Thunderclap Newman

Eh, it's just mostly obsessive searching, and making friends with the store owners so they'll know what you'll like. I haven't had a chance to spin it yet, but with the additional 5" of snow we got yesterday, I'm expecting most of my clients to cancel today, so I might find myself with free time.

Those translations are a riot, btw

Bought two new albums today:

(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_500/MI0001/543/MI0001543404.jpg?partner=allrovi.com)

(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_500/MI0002/166/MI0002166596.jpg?partner=allrovi.com)

Cool, I got the gatefold of this (UAS-5571) a few years back but it sadly (along with a lot of other stuff) got water damaged while I was away on holiday. On the bright side I bought the American Spring Plus (see for miles) LP with some of the insurance money.

I got this last weekend, love the album and once again an amazing job from the light in the attic guys

(http://blog.lightintheattic.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/LITA087_675.jpg)

bought from my excellent local record store dodobeach.de

(http://recordstoresworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/dodo_beach5.jpg)

Really good.  :-D

I've been listening to the Deluxe Village Green I just got in the mail.

Who's singing on this alternative version of Village Green. It sounds like it could be Dave, but might be someone else. Pete???

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ulCNQ4JwS4

Yes I've played it several times since, it's a classic.

I just got this in the mail.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51uK0KxA9kL.jpg)

It's a mixture of poetry set to BBC Radioworkshop effects and pagan style folk, that schools used to play for children to dance to in drama/music lessons in the 1970s/80s. It's an acquired taste I'm guessing.

No it's still Ray. I believe they first cut it in 1966 during the ...Something Else days. I think this may be that version, does the cd contain any info on it Gabo?

He sounds so nasally. Yeah I know. It was recorded during the same session as Two Sisters in November 1966 (the orchestra was overdubbed in February 1967).


I find it strange how the song is so little known. IMO it's just as good (if not better) than the likes of Waterloo Sunset and You Really Got Me. Easily one of the best Kinks songs. Maybe it's the subject matter?

  Picked up I Bet On Sky by Dinosaur Jr and Live The 50th Anniversary Tour by The Beach Boys the other day. I still buy CDs.

While not today, I bought Bob Dylan's Tempest on CD a couple of days ago. I had heard it before on release on the internet, then I just ignored and forgot about it for a while I guess.

 I like how Dylan sounds like he's transforming into Tom Waits.   :lol

Two from Discogs this week - Tim Hardin/Replacements

(http://s27.postimg.org/n5os9scnn/hardin_replacements.jpg)

The new Half Price Books in Schuamburg was good to me yesterday.

Still Cruisin' LP - Like new, looks untouched. I don't think I'd even seen a vinyl copy for sale in a store before. Oddly enough, they also had a CD copy for sale, so someone must have dumped off their collection :lol

Surf's Up LP - Original issue with poster, also looks untouched. I hadn't picked this up before because I knew I would be able to find a cheaper copy then what some of the record stores that cater to collectors wanted for it. I paid $6.99 for this copy. Patience pays off.

The Beach Boys In Concert Book - I never got around to ordering it online, so I was happy to run across it

I also got some great comedy LPs, including Rutland Weekend Songbook which has a 6 degrees of separation sort of Beach Boys connection. Plus a copy of The King In Yellow in paperback to feed the thing I'm currently obsessed with - although I'll wait until after the finale tonight to start reading it.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1e/The_Thin_Red_Line_soundtrack_cover.jpg)

Hans Zimmer recently said it was one of his favorite scores...I can easily see (hear) why.

Yesterday I bought the Beach Boys Party!/Stack-O-Tracks two-fer.

I also ordered online last week:
TWGMTR
In Concert
15 Big Ones/Love You
Keepin The Summer Alive/The Beach Boys 85

I hope they arrive next week.

Made a real bargain on ebay for my favourite KISS LP (http://www.adiumxtras.com/images/thumbs/gene_adiumy_1_31909_7891_thumb.gif)


(http://oi62.tinypic.com/2j125fo.jpg)


Looks rough on the outside but the vinyl itself is in top condition. :3d

.

Its a pain alright. Even the ones that claim to use the Goldmine guide to grading sell vg records that are fair at best. Some sellers of course actually do sell vg as vg but its always a risk.

Love the cover!

Emitt Rhodes - Recordings [1969-1973]
The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers
Dr. John - Gris-Gris
Al Green - Call Me
Loudon Wainwright III - Unrequited
Gene Clark - Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers
Hank Williams - Alone with His Guitar

Quite happy with today's purchases. Had to leave Let's Active, the Beau Brummels, and the Flying Burrito Brothers behind, though.  :'(

Boo-yah, Mrs Hart! Any significant inscriptions in the deadwax of that baby to report, ie, "Thanks Marilyn"?

Nope, first thing I looked for when I got home

Today I received a message from a seller on Discogs apologizing for the inconvenience since I ordered a record over three weeks ago which never shipped. The issue was resolved recently and they plan to ship it tomorrow and offered to throw another record in for free. In a week or so I'll receive Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel and Soul & Inspiration by The Righteous Brothers.

Also I'm still waiting to hear from another seller I ordered the album Insight Out by The Association from, who said last week that they will check to see the post office to see what's going on since the record should have arrived weeks ago.

MBW, your purchases from Jan. 27 were ALL cool, but ESPECIALLY these two!  I have all the original RCA John Hartford LPs and they are pretty darned amazing!

Absolutely, trying to get all the lps myself too. I have since got "the love album" and "1969" so getting there. Got outbid on "Iron Mountain Depot" last week on Ebay. BTW I just recently started a JH thread here - http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,17407.0.html

:'( Ah well, still a great score for a measly $7!!!

I just bought a first, U.S. press of Surf's Up and it has "Thanks Marilyn" written in the dead wax. Is this significant?

I also recently bought the three-CD version of Village Green Preservation Society, a Dream Syndicate live album, both reissues of The Dukes of Stratosphear, and the polarity corrected version of Skylarking by XTC.

Wasn't exactly today, but at a flea market in Japan, I got Mick Taylor's first solo album on CD. Will listen to it when I get back from my holiday tomorrow.

Saw that iTunes was selling selected albums by The Who for only 5.99 each so I bought the only four Who studio albums I still didn't own; A Quick One, Odds & Sods, Face Dances, and It's Hard.  I'm finding I really like Face Dances the best of them if you can believe it, even better than the two Moon era albums.

Went to a Goodwill store and got Fleetwood Mac's 1975 self titled album and Album 1700 by Peter, Paul, and Mary

i love the mono mix of Village Green on the deluxe edition. Far superior to the familiar stereo version

To begin with, I'm a 3-years collector of music boxes. Mostly the melodies are of Russian folk songs. The oldest (about 25 years old) that I found in my basement is wooden & represents the Khokhloma painting. So, this one plays the melody of famous "Podmoskovnye vechera" which used to be the symbol of our country abroad. Today was different: I bought the music box that when you spin it around, plays the pokemon theme (remember that anime? It's the only I liked).

Most interesting. Now and again I identify songs for people on YouTube (or try to) and very often it's the melody of a music box that they'd like identified. Sometimes the tune misses out notes or accentuates them differently, maybe because the mechanism is worn. Or the tune is played very fast or very slow... A most enjoyable occupation. 

Wow, that's cool! Thanks for giving me idea, now I'm going to seek after unheard melodies. Btw, I like when a music box sounds slightly off & detuned. It gives very nice vintage effect, if not little creepy.

Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.

You left out the crucial tag "therefore, ye soft pipes, play on". Check your facts before posting, Mr. Waves.

you are an enigma

Big splurge this weekend

(http://s30.postimg.org/yqi27c6q9/recs_june.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/60v6ap2q5/full/)

LP:The Dillards,Live... Almost
LP-BOX (3 X Vinyl) :Nitty Gritty Dirt Band,Will The Circle Be Unbroken
LP:Carl Wilson,Youngblood
LP:Doc Watson,Home Again!
LP:Bobbie Gentry,Touch'em With Love
LP:The Modern Lovers,Live
LP:Tim Hardin,Nine

Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch!
The Kinks - Sleepwalker
Thelonious Monk - Monk's Blues
The Mothers of Invention - Uncle Meat, Burnt Weeny Sandwich, and Weasels Ripped My Flesh
Small Faces - Ogdens' Nut Gone Flake
Sun Ra - Cosmic Tones / Art Forms
T. Rex - Electric Warrior
XTC - Mummer, The Big Express, Nonsuch
Neil Young - After the Gold Rush

I later realized that some of these albums sort of reference each other, with Eric Dolphy's "Hat and Beard" referencing Thelonious Monk, and Frank Zappa's "Eric Dolphy Memorial Barbecue" referencing (of course) Eric Dolphy.

The Zappa records all pretty much reference each other, too, as Zappa albums are wont to do.

Ian McLagan sat in the seat next to me  on my economy flight to LA a couple weeks ago.

Not going for the easy Zappa albums there!

I was gonna buy Nirvana - Incesticide for $5 today but didn't... I have enough music in my life right now

I've never heard the first two songs on there, are they good?

It's more fun that way.
I've been playing Uncle Meat non-stop since yesterday. It's so dense, but something has grabbed hold of me.

I think it's one of the 10 or 15 best albums of the 60s, and among FZ's greatest works.

Frank packed more ideas into Meat, Weasles and Weenie then many cover in their whole career.

I finally got POB on CD today! Been looking for it for so long and I finally found it. It was $15 but it was worth it.

.

Bought on vinyl today:
Nilsson - Nilsson Schilsson
Macca - Band on the Run
Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage
Sly and Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On
BBs - All Summer Long (Capitol Reissue)
Robbie Robertson's first solo album

.

Id say they are decent but probably only essential for big J.R fans. I'm quite new to a lot of the J.R solo stuff so no expert. He really needs his own thread in these parts.

Had a splurge;

Bee Gees - Tales From the Brothers Gibb
Nina Hagan - Nunsexmonkrock
David Bowie  - Young Americans
Lene Lovich - March
Anthony Newley - The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd.

http://www.highmoonrecords.com/content/gene-clarks-two-sides-every-story-lp-out-now (http://www.highmoonrecords.com/content/gene-clarks-two-sides-every-story-lp-out-now)

Luluc, Passerby. (Wrote about it a little in the new releases thread.)

More splurging;
Dr. John -  Gris-Gris
The Bangles - Different Light
Public Image Ltd. - The Flowers of Romance.

This is a very cool record.

Yesterday's Rekord Trek

(http://8thman.com/epic/Dscf3770.jpg)

(http://8thman.com/epic/Dscf3771.jpg)

I just got these!

A record: MOTT THE HOOPLE - Mott

And a U2 concert on VHS! "Under a blood red sky" (June 5th 1983 -- Denver Colorado)

I went to a record store I've never been to before out in the 'burbs on Saturday - Hip Cat Records in Wilmette. Pretty nice place, with good prices, especially for the NM to VG+ condition everything was in. Had a ton of Beach Boys stuff, the owner said he just acquired someone's complete collection, so I picked up what I didn't already have out of it (Original mono issues of Shut Down Vol. 2 and All Summer Long). I also got a handful of promo 45s and some Dr. John LPs, because I want to start exploring more NOLA music.

Very nice indeed..

Some of these are not in great nick unfortunately but I didn't pay a lot..."one man's trash is another man's treasure"  :hat

(http://s9.postimg.org/jul6vb69r/23072014.jpg)

LP:The Carter Family,'Mid The Green Fields Of Virginia
LP:Roy Acuff,Country:
LP:Raspberries,Fresh:
LP:The Four Seasons,Working My Way Back To You:
LP:The Beach Boys,Surfer Girl
LP:The Temptations,Gettin' Ready
7'':The Beach Boys,The Little Girl I Once Knew / There's No Other (Like My Baby) (German Pic Sleeve)

I think so too! I had not heard the Schmillison In The Night before...its all stuff like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin & showtune covers with the most lush string arrangements you've ever heard - and if you listen carefully you'll hear a few bars of other songs (without the lyrics) mixed in there and there.


Except for the Billy Strange LPs these records are nearly pristine and they are probably first pressings that were taped and put away. Jackets are like new LPs without the shrink wrap!  They cost more than the $1.00 each Good will price but none were over $6 and most of them were $3-$4 each. I dont see records like this very often and will make room for them if I have to get rid of some other stuff -  ;D

Great prices! I almost never find deals like that, seems a lot easier in the US. When I look at discogs or ebay, it seems records are much cheaper there, unfortunately postage costs rule them out for me.

Walked for half an hour from campus to a small thrift store and got:
Greatest Hits - Linda Ronstadt
Tapestry - Carole King
The Four Seasons Story - The Four Seasons

Unfortunately my record player's at home so I won't be able to listen to them until next week but they're in pretty good condition.

(https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t34.0-12/10723230_855005174543928_1259845079_n.jpg?oh=8f21580c959fdbb30ab1c55b457db54a&oe=544631BC&__gda__=1413876895_8d4005b140ee5796f7cb09f757621480)

Not bought, but got it as a birthday gift. It's a 1969 UK pressing.

But your birthday was on September.

I just got around to celebrate it this weekend.

I see you like the BBs. Nice!

Saturday night, Half Price Books, on the new end cap where they've been putting out new records (which they've started selling a ton of, at least at the location nearest me) and LP box sets, a perfect copy of All Things Must Pass. All three discs, poster, everything in beautiful condition. Probably the most I've ever spent on a record there, but at $25 it was still a steal. I'm listening to it now, and even though I'm really familiar with the material, I'm still blown away by how good everything about it is. This album literally has everything you could ever want in a listening experience.

And I thought I had a good find last week with a promo copy of MIU...

A few weeks ago, I bought Biograph by Bob Dylan.
Yesterday, I bought:
Sail Away - Randy Newman
From Her to Eternity - Nick Cave
Scott 3 - Scott Walker
The Idiot - Iggy Pop
What We Did on Our Holidays - Fairport Convention

Woodstock 40 Years on: Back to Yasgur's Farm CD box

Yesterday I bought the Beach Boys Party!/Stack-O-Tracks two-fer.

(http://s27.postimg.org/5xt0rmij7/Louvin_Brothers.jpg)

Today, I bought Kate Bush's the Dreaming, Prince's Purple Rain, XTC's Apple Venus, Pt. 1, Willis Earl Beal's Notcunes (figured I should grab one while I could, only 300 being made), and the Three O'Clock's Baroque Hoedown/Sixteen Tambourines twofer.

yay music

Went down to the record store and bought incredibly clean original copies of the Rain Parade's Emergency Third Rail Power Trip, the Three O'Clock's Sixteen Tambourines, and the Walker Brothers' "Deadlier Than the Male/Archangel" single.

Record show today! Appropriately titled the "Big Dig" Record Show... so many boxes to dig through.

I now have Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Sunflower on vinyl.

Does anyone else here use discogs? :D

Managed to buy a few out of print Van Morrison cds on discogs without it costing me an arm and a leg.

I snagged a brand new copy of the deluxe remastered CD of Uriah Heep's Look at Yourself album. 

I'm buying so many records every week that I think I might have a problem :-\  ...one thing that really annoys me...CUTOUTS! I don't mind when just a simple line is pressed (straight down, like a punch or little clip without removing any of the cover) somewhere towards the top but when they cut a big diagonal piece of the cover away  :angry

It's cover by who? Don't mean photographer - the artist. Reminds of good ole cat pics by Louis Wain. The crazy era of his works.

GOAT (https://goat.bandcamp.com/album/world-music)

World Music is a stupendous album...

Thanks, john. Nice to see you're checking bandcamps. Is (t)he(m) on the board or you just found on the Inet?

Not quite sure I understand you, but I'd heard a track by the band Goat (on TV) at Glastonbury this year and decided to investigate further. What i discovered was so compelling that I immediately bought their first album, with the Glastonbury track on it...

I have bought an enormous amount of music recently:

I'd like to thank all of you who pay tips for making this possible.

Jesus Christ, man! Nice work of late.

If I'm not mistaken, you weren't yet familiar with Wilco when their new album dropped. I take it based on your buying habits that you've at least taken something of a shine to them?

Zappa's Yellow Shark is a great, great album.

Yeah, I had never listened to Wilco before for some reason. When Star Wars came out and I liked it, I decided I should check out some of their older albums and then started to read things about Summerteeth that really grabbed my attention. So, I listened to that and discovered I was missing out on brilliant music. That album is sorta weird,  as it seems like the dark horse in their discography. I didn't even know it existed until a couple days ago. I can't recommend that album enough to people that haven't heard it, though. Summerteeth is the encapsulation of everything I would want to accomplish as a musician, and he did it all in one album and moved on. Bastard. Then, I found the song "California Stars" and just decided to check out the rest.

Congrats, Wilco. Your plan worked.


I love Zappa as the orchestral composer and I'm excited to listen to it. I listened to a couple of the Uncle Meat tunes on YouTube and really liked those.

.

Summerteeth is where I joined the Wilco express. Wonderful album. Great band. Nice Zappa choices too.

I was saying if the band Goat were consisted of this board's musicians. Given your checking of the Smiley Smilers Who Make Music corner, I'd not be surprised.

Here's what I got this week:

Really good sale going on over at Omnivore at the moment. Big Star, Jellyfish, Posies, Game Theory and more - http://omnivorerecordings.com/btss/

And now it's time for a buying hiatus.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ad6q7NJmL.jpg)

Based on my recent posts in this sub-forum, I am definitely not obsessed with this band... :P

I didn't like it much at first because the musical tracks all seemed pretty similar to each other. I'm listening to it a lot now, though - just letting it play on repeat as I drive around. It's a great album, although maybe "the Infamous Date Rape" wasn't a great idea. Most people seem to prefer Q Tip, but Phife Dawg is my favorite.

I always put my most recent vinyl purchases in a "sort of" now playing section so looking across the room, the last ones I bought are...

Took me long enough to buy Currents. It's usually almost $30 at retailers so I guess that deterred me.
Listening to the Wimps record, Suitcase, now.

A good month after I bought it, my Currents record has finally arrived in my apartment. "Let it Happen" has never sounded so good.

Never listened to them, but, hey, might as well give it a go.

Your adolescence is pretty cool.

It had its moments :)

The packaging for both of these albums (on vinyl) are amazing. The insert for the Fleet Foxes has a beautifully written essay of sorts recalling his memories of listening to the Beach Boys when he was younger, and how music is one of the purest forms of memories. This was also mentioned in another thread by another user.
Also, the Protomartyr album comes with a huge poster and a little lyric booklet thing.

My coworker also gave me this CD today. Preparing for music festival season...

I was absolutely thrilled to find an early Alex Chilton album. It was an original, German issue from Line Records for only $9.

Cool, I have a lot of those...all seem to be pressed on white vinyl. Which one was it?

It was Bach's Bottom. In my experience, his albums (other than A Man Called Destruction) are quite difficult to find in the US, although I imagine it's easier in Germany where his albums were actually printed and distributed at various times.

The world needs a Chilton box set.

I think Bach's Bottom is a great album. Love it.

Yeah, plenty of Chilton records available in Germany. I think I have all the vinyl lps except "Loose shoes & tight p*ssy". Still need to find a few of of the singles/eps though.

Friendly reminder that Record Store Day is this Saturday ;D

This album is so much fun.

Well, I finally got some money I've been waiting months for, and I immediately bought three Flying Nun releases.

Might have gone overboard this week... meh. I also don't know if I have a CD reader available, so I don't know when I get to listen to these :(. I need to order stuff on Amazon anyway, though.

(http://www.poppressinternational.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/protomartyr-under-color-of-official-right.jpg)
Protomartyr's Under Color of Official Right (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qO7lmiUQdm8): Finally own this now. I love the packaging of their albums (in vinyl format, anyway). What a fun band.


(http://ultimateclassicrock.com/files/2015/11/wb.jpg)
Fleetwood Mac's Tusk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zKM60a2k44): I've linked the song that I like right here, "Never Make Me Cry." I might have given my vinyl copy of this away or something... at any rate, I've listened to this album all the way through at least once and I'd love to do it again. Anyway, I got this used 2-CD bonus edition with demos 'n' stuff. There's a cover of our Boys' own "Farmer's Daughter" on here, I have just realized.

(http://ultimateclassicrock.com/files/2012/06/OBC300.jpg)
Pink Floyd's Obscured by Clouds (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM-iHiD75Co): I have no idea what this will sound like.* Pretty album cover though, right? I'm just streaming this on Spotify for the time being. I guess it's also some sort of soundtrack.
*I'm listening and I now know what I'm getting into.

Mac Demarco's Demos. Vol 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ps3j1enUCA&list=PLXj9Jx2wnkQc05KqK1o0jGkiMnp72xRR-): I get a kick out of reading the little CD booklet for this. I just love how he does not give a f*ck about anything. Some of the stuff is instrumental so that you can get lost in all of his analogue-tapey-dreamy-guitar-ness.

I also bought Coltrane's My Favorite Things and the Kinks' Something Else; I'm too tired and lazy to give fancy descriptions for those now.

I have recently purchased Protomartyr's first album, No Passion All Technique.

I am really enjoying this.

Hey, M. Your visit is most encouraging. And most welcome.

I listened to that entire album on YouTube a while back during my Protomartyr Period (thanks to you and Bubs) and enjoyed every minute. :=)

Yeah, I don't know why I waited this long to buy it. It's most wonderful. I think Under Color of Official Right is my favorite amongst the three, but they're all good. Glad to know you enjoy them as well! It seems that you enjoyed fellow Hardly Art-ists, Chastity Belt.

CB's album is second on my listening list. First up is Demon Days by Gorillaz. I've been checking out various Blur side projects under the expert guidance of fellow Smiley poster Cool Cool Water. :=)   

DJ Paul-mafia 4 life autographed copy.  :-D Hes one of my favorites in rap thats still active, though this cd was weak compared to master of evil..
Also got a copy of Acid King- busse woods, underground classic love this cd >:D

Hi, SRGF, and welcome. Have you checked out the "Rap" topic yet?   

Wilco Schmilco and The Beatles Live at the Hollywood Bowl

Phillip glass- the light & the Halloween III(season of the witch) soundtrack.
Gotta love the clearance bin at the record store never know what youll find

Swishahouse- throwback classics: ballin & shotcallin,  even trade for the melvins- bullhead cd (had 2 copies though)

Cowabunga! The surf box

True! That's how I got Brian Wilson's first solo album, which turned me on to the band!

Not my copy, although this is the store that I bought it from.

Thanks! Hopefully one day the entire album will be in a single YouTube upload...

Does this work for you?

Unfortunately not. Thanks for trying anyway. Maybe there'll be a Netherlands-friendly version up before long...

I downloaded for free few Vetiver albums - good band. What's the names of the albums 1) 3 chaps standing with forest behind, 2) neon books with open pages? TIA.

You'd know if you bought them legally from a store.  ::)

What a stupendous album. And what a way to end it!

1) Dirty Projectors - Swing Lo Magellan
2) Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

I've yet to listen to either of these all of the way through (which I guess is why I bought them), but AF's "Black Mirror" is an incredible song.

Thanks, undercover. Thanks, john too.

Hi, Mari. Listening to "Homebody" right now. :=)

You might like to give this* a try. I think it's lovely:

* This being the album Mademoiselle by The Underground Youth...

DJ Paul- year of the 6ix pt.2 
 I give it 4 outta 5

DJ Pauls production evolves while keeping the old 666 sound.  damn i miss Koopsta n Lord Infamous, DJ Paul sounds lonely without the old crew

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of Bubs, I now have:

A Couple of vinyls

Kansas / Leftoverture - CBS Masterworks Half-speed

Todd Rundgren / Runt - 12 track alternate pressing (prolly my 5th or 6th one in quest acquire the best possible)

Not today, but in the past month or so:

Plus the Mingus boxset I posted about in the jazz thread, but I haven't imported that yet.

Two of these are lovely* jazz albums, three are perfect summertime music, and one is a fun listen yet possibly regrettable purchase.

*Lovely may be a strong word for Ascension, but I'm just casually grouping things here.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON (alexander hamilton)
When America sings for you, will they know what you overcame?
Will they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same

Finally bought it after months of streaming. Strong recommendation to fans of musicals, hip-hop, and/or historical depictions of the founding of the United States.  :afro

And which one might that be, Mari? :-|

The Talking Heads album. I had played it as background music and thought it was ok. Thought "Radio Head" and "Wild Wild Life" were catchy (still do). But I didn't realize how awful the intro to "Love for Sale" was until I gave it a solid listen, and there are just some other ok-ish (compared to the first handful of TH albums) songs on there.

I continually feed the need to buy more of their albums, but I don't think I'm gonna invest in more of their stuff, save the Stop Making Sense DVD.

Today, I splurged on these:

That's:
Beach House - Devotion
Clifford Brown & Max Roach - Study in Brown
Lemolo (local artist) - The Kaleidoscope

I tried "Knives" and it sounds great to me. So I've got Meagan and Kendra lined up on Bandcamp for future listening. :=)

Found a sealed copy of Eazy E's single 'creep n crawl' from 96, the old rock n roll guys at the record store didnt realize what a gem they had. Some of my Eazy E/ Bone thugs collection. Missing from pic isboth copies if BONE's-faces of death cd and the Eazy E bootleg Ressur-E-ction
