Jim, that Pretenders title was out of print and they have done another run. It’s currently in Big Timber, Montana according to FedEx. Some time next week...

There was also a recent hi-res release that sounds fantastic.

BTW, that's cool you scored Mayall tickets.  I'd love to see him.

FWIW: I decided to replace my original Roxy Music Avalon 1982 LP since there are some reissues out (Czech Republic). The first I received (from Amazon) had some brown goop on the surface I could not remove so I returned it for a second copy. This also had the dried goop (not as much) but also some raised vinyl ridges crossing the grooves. Abhorrent quality control, getting refunded.

@slaw Steve, you're costing my money again! Gillian Welch/David Rawlings "All the Good Times" added to my list.

After a week long workathon, let's get this staycation party started with:

J. Geils Band - Bloodshot (of course it's red vinyl, 🙄)

Laura Veirs - Saltbreakers

Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage (Blue Note Classic...$25 bargain!)

 

@sbank,

Spencer, I thought I had all of Laura Veirs......never heard of "Saltbreakers"

Was streaming the Berlin Philharmonic live. Mehta conducting Mahler’s No. 3. Incredible.

Now back to vinyl. This just arrived today, recommended by some friends I truly trust.

Ry Cooder/John Hiatt/Jim Keltner/Nick Lowe - Little Village. Reprise reissue 2019, originally 1992

 

Yea Steve, this is nice. Seems to be getting better as it goes along.

Unfortunately there is a small imperfection on the last song/side 1, but not bad really. It is/was a new sealed copy, so goodness knows why these things happen. US release/reissue.

As Little Village had Ry Cooder on it, it reminded me of another LP with Ry I have not listened to for a while….

Norman Greenbaum - Petaluma. Reprise 1972

Pete Townshend/Ronnie Lane - Rough Mix. Polydor 1977, New Zealand release

Chuck Prophet "Brother Aldo"

Fire Records/1990/EU 

This, my second listen is very positive. I always dug him. Never see others mentioning.

 I'm a Chuck Prophet programmed robot. How's that one Jim?

Bummer Bslon!

Half Waif / Mythopoetics

 

Jim the robot... You may want to check this one out

We are certainly all programmed... (No 0 1 though)

Nick Cave / Push the sky away

King Crimson Beat

Joy Division Warsaw

Radiohead  The Bends

I am an Analog Bot in a Digital World.....

I ’ve been sittin’ here starin’ at a sealed copy of Jason Isbell

"Georgia Blue" )

RSD only

My friend Jim sent me. So beautiful, I hate to open it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kenny Rogers & The First Edition "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" 

Reprise/steam boat label/pp

“ we are programmed to receive, you can check out … but you can never leave “

sorry I was busy miking the orchestra pit

I understand Steve - Georgia Blue cover art is sublime

Well Steve, even the Robots have need of a Prophet….

i am an equalized robot in a tone control world

The Andy Williams Christmas Album

It’s a nice change-up during the holidays. Andy, Perry, Bing, Frank, Dean, the Carpenters—all good! The classics, I mean. Especially so at Christmas. Cheers!

I reached into the on-deck bin and pulled out that Jason Isbell and the 400 unit Georgia Blue randomly. Steve, it sounds really good. At least it was, until my girlfriend called and I had to hit the pause button.
