2012 yellow vinyl reissue of The Monkees • Present (1969)
A lovely afternoon for making mp3s from some new #vinyl. #vinyligclub #cratedigger
Nippon Girls: Japanese Pop, Beat & Bossa Nova 1967-69 (2013, Big Beat Records). This record is #groovy as hell, and the purple #vinyl is strikingly gorgeous. #onmyturntable #nowplaying #jpop #vinyligclub #cratedigger
Leo bought me some sweet vinyl (and an 8-TRACK) in lieu of a congratulatory dinner for passing my prelims.
Inner sleeve of a Siesta Records compilation. How could I NOT love this label?
Siesta Records is quickly becoming one of my favorite labels. Many colored vinyl releases, lots of “space age”, lounge, and sunshine pop. Groovy stuff!
Vintage compilation LPs like this one can be a great way to discover lost gems from the past. This collection on Elektra has 3 LPs worth of obscurities.
Fleetwood Mac • Greatest Hits (1988)
Some Fleetwood Mac singles.
Cut Copy • Bright Like Neon Love, finally on vinyl!
A classic, reissued on green vinyl for RSD 2013.
SUCH a 90s album, issued on vinyl for the 1st time on RSD 2012.
There were five 7” singles released from MIKA’s Life in Cartoon Motion album, each in these super cool die- cut sleeves. With “Happy Ending” I now own 4/5. The 1st single, “Relax (take it easy)” was limited to 500, so I don’t expect to find that one. Oddly, MIKA’s 3 albums have not been pressed on
New Bleached LP, on groovy tie-die style turqoise vinyl. (at Treehouse Records)
Best time of the day in our house to admire colored vinyl :)
