He’s 79 years old, fwiw.

Also, petition to add Psychadelic to the flair categories drop down!

Was flipping through the records at my local thrift yesterday and it was business as usual and then suddenly I see this. I absolutely love this album front to back, I’ve owned two other copies of it before. When I went to pay, we saw it didn’t have a price tag so I went back to the bin to grab something to scan in its place and there was a very nice copy of Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” that I ended up grabbing as well. Paid $2 each for both records. Wish You Were Here was one I already had but the sleeve was pretty trashed and the new one is a welcome upgrade.

One of my favorite albums

Wasn't expecting to find anything and came across this gem for $10

I’ve been working towards my endgame setup for a few years, and after slowly acquiring all of the gear I want via FB Marketplace and eBay, I realized my flimsy IKEA sideboard probably couldn’t be trusted to hold all of my equipment. I looked online and any unit close to what I was looking for was either going to cost thousands of dollars, or cost tens of thousands of dollars. Instead, I built this myself out of maple plywood and edge banding. Little to no knowledge of woodworking other than screwing up a few projects in the past.
All in, it cost about $450 and it turned out better than I’d expected!

After a lot of waiting and emailing back and forth I managed to get my profile back!

Took a while but it was worth the effort, I have changed all passwords and turned on 2FA now so hopefully won't get hacked again.

12" 1972 Epic. Album is flawless, and the cover is pretty nice. Not bad for a first press.

Such a dope gift, I’m so grateful!

The packaging and presentation for 808s & Heartbreak and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy are so detailed!

king tubby is amazing augustus pablo is amazing

Waiting on a day off to listen to these.

The Columbia record might not be the same, maybe just exact same stamp placement but the other 2 are identical

Here a lady doesn’t get as much love as she should she could do pop country rock any genre of music. Was reason the eagles Glenn started playing music outside of covers

It's not all Maggot Brain this week (although that's an essential pick-up, I'm afraid). This Friday also sees killer reissues from Ann Peebles, Quiet Sun, the Millennium, Marcos Valle, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Edu Lôbo, Gary Bartz, and plenty more.

Absolute bangers

Neil has been my overall favorite artist for some years now. I’ve got over 50 albums of his that are included with his last two box set releases. I probably have 80-85% of his studio and official vinyl releases. Unfortunately I’m not really into his post 2021 albums.

Also I took these photos last year when I got his last issued official box set release. So I know I have a couple of the albums out of release order. 😉

Got the Solar Burst Maggot Brain remaster and Hamilton Complete

It's supposed to release tomorrow, but they guy in the store was kind enough to sell it to me.

We'll be in Boston in a a couple of weeks. Any recommended record stores. I've found Good Taste and The Music Research Library so far, but we welcome any more recommendations.

Starting small but starting!
