Vinyl and LPs - Analogue Music Goodness

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/32953509

It's been a hell of adventure for me this week so I wanted to wind down today and bake some granola. Step one for good baking is smoking a think doobie, and step two is putting on some classical music. My collection of classical records is still quite limited, so i reach for random Beethoven symphonies from this box set when i have listened to everything else recently.

It's certainly dissonant. If there ain't metal versions of this, somebody screwed up.

The death of Douglas McCarthy was a wake-up call for me to get around to buying more Nitzer Ebb. May he rest in peace. And yes, that is a reel-to-reel with Cher.

Some weed smoking jams before heading out to spend a hot day outside filming with my friends. Blue Oyster Cult fucking rules.

Just the coolest album ever! Miles's cover of Down By The River is what introduced me to this album. I don't know if I have ever listened to an album where the singer gives off such a sexy and confident vibe. An almost defiant nonchalance pervades over this album that i completely love.

I always put classical music on when i bake, and i have been doing some serious baking this weekend. I've been working on rhubarb and walnut loaves since rhubarb is growing everywhere right now.

This shelf fits a regular vinyl record just right, but then depeche mode has the bright idea to make their cover a cm longer. And don't even get me started about the jinyl...

After finding someone selling the record I didn't think at all and bought it. Rare record, sold previously once in the past 1 year on eBay, banned from sales on discogs. I was looking for it quite a long time! Happy that I got it.

I picked this up at an awesome record shop in Akron this weekend. My mom grew up in England during the punk/post punk movement, so i grew up listening to her The Clash, The Jam, and the Strangler CDs in her car. The Stranglers were a staple for our family on road trips.

Nostalgia hits hard with this one. My parents played it all the time when I grew up.

I guess Lemmy was too excited to sleep before this concert.

Got moved into my own house. Now I gotta build some shelves.

Amazon sent me this one by mistake a while back and it looked interesting, so I kept it. I haven't listened to it til now.

One of the first records i added to my collection. I went through a massive Saxon kick and found all their early albums at my local record shop. I love the heavy overdriven guitars, the riff worship, and the emotion in the lyrics that really defines 70's heavy metal to me. Crusader isn't as good an album as Denim & Leather or Strong Arm of the Law, but it's still a kick-ass rock album that can get me through any hangover.

I'm working on expanding my electro-industrial and EBM records.

The album spread over 4 LPs, book of lyrics and another with artwork and photos. A classic album gets the treatment it deserves. 🫠🤗

What better way to start my day with some Santana! Jorge Santana that is. I'm a big proponent of always grabbing the craziest album art you see at the shop and taking it home, and this is a fine example. That epic cover was something i just had to have. It's some excellent latin jazz rock from the height of the prog rock era. While obviously not as talented a guitarist as his brother, Jorge is no schmuck and puts down some excellent solos and rhythms. It's a favorite that i am always pooking for an occasion to introduce someone to the album. I see these all the time when i visit stores, so if you like rock and Latin jazz, you should absolutely pick this up and give it a spin.

Fishbone - In Your Face https://www.discogs.com/release/396211-Fishbone-In-Your-Face

Original UK press, found today from the local record store.

Back again with more MGMT. I picked this one up just a couple hours ago on a whim and it's the first time I'm listening to Loss of Life too!

I bought this album entirely for the cover aesthetic, and seeing the coloured vinyl I was well chuffed about my purchase. It's really a lovely package.

Cortez, Cortez, what a killer! I'm willing to argue that Zuma surpasses Harvest for Neil Young's beat album. This is am original copy i poked up at the local flea market a few years ago, and it remains one of my favorite records in my collection. Neil Young was such a brilliant lyricist/guitar player as a young man, and i am happy to keep that memory alive. To me, Neil Young is as iconic an artist as Prince, Freddy Mercury, and Ozzy Osbourne. He definitely starts to drift into "noble savage territory during " Cortez, What a Killer" but the song is sung eith sich passion and feeling that only the coldest hearted bastard could ignore the intent of the song. Neil used to be sicha passionate and dedicated young man, and i feel that it makes his music absolutely timeless.

This is one I inherited from my late brother. I have a handful of his half obscure vinyls that I pull out every once in a while, with no real clue what the madman got his hands on and why.

I know this comes up regularly, I don't need an originality badge to play or post one of my favourite bands 🙂

If you don't know him, Johnny played jazz guitar, starting from the 1940s. In 1954 he wrote, "Walk Don't Run", which was then covered by Chet Atkins, and later the Ventures made it a surf tune. He kept playing and recording through the 60s, then he moved to Colorado and ran a music store, gave lessons till he passed.

D.O.A. - War On 45 https://www.discogs.com/release/6979428-DOA-2-War-On-45

Is your muffin buttered? Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?

I've never heard the vocals on Money for Nothing so clearly, the Spotify version doesn't do it justice.

I've been listening to this today. It came with a cheeky little 7" included: "I Feel Nothing When You Cry".

This is the 4 men with beards reissue from 2007.

Went to Detroit for a concert this weekend. Had an absolute blast, and swung a record shop this morning on my way hom to pick up a little Motown! I've been hoping to get some more funk and soul music in my collection, so i grabbed this one since it's an older pressing and my local radio station plays the 4 Tops all the time so i know them well.

Getting our house ready and final meal prep for our wedding today so might as well put Zeppelin’s best album on.

So I put this album on after getting it today and I got to 6 Underground and I was wondering why I got a version with a male singer.

Picked this up with Nirvanas Bleach remaster and a bottle of red. Have a nice weekend everybody!

Finally got around to buying this. Dunno what took me so long!

The Westworld soundtrack was a happy coincidence.

Last weekend I was able to get a few records from the 70s to the 90s, stuff like Marillion (obv), Blue Öyster Cult, Fleetwood Mac, Missing Persons, Planet P Project and others.
