And you will be 1/10 of the way to a complete Sun Ra collection.

I wish I could properly convey the look on my wife's face when she was like, "you must be getting close to having all of them by now," and I was like, "not even close to halfway!"

It's not even necessarily a look I want to remember but it's certainly one I will never forget. 🤣

This is my new go to when my wife looks at the Neil Young shelves.
"Hey - I could be the Sun Ra guy."

I mentioned this to someone else and they did it. There may be people that bought 2 or 3 2lps with the intent to trade them for a 7" boxset

Just pulled the trigger on Frightened Rabbit - Pedestrian Verse. It popped up in my discogs wantlist email 2 days ago. Went to see Goose in Philly the last two nights and husband is so thankful that I drove us each night, he said "You deserve a present"

It's a sealed copy. Of course it will undoubtedly be reissued next year, but I've wanted this for years.

Sold my blue OKNOTOK set (US press) last Sunday, so I ordered the black Euro press today.

From what I have read, this should sound better. The blue vinyl wasn't doing it for me, and I will end up about $50 ahead.
 
The data are in and it's official: Record City Japan is addictive. The amount of new stuff they post daily is absolutely bonkers. Went back through my orders since I first heard about them on another thread here. I placed three orders in August of 2021 within a span of less than two weeks. I guess I was pretty excited about it. Then I didn't place another order until October, but that was a fairly large one of 9 records. This year, looks like I've been a bit more systematic, with an order per month and an average of 4 records per order. Here's March's take, which arrived today--two Kings and two Toshibas; the Pepper is a 3LP box set.

You picked some killer titles there buddy. Those Art Pepper sessions are fantastic, so much heat!

Thank you! I'm pretty stoked about these. All the jazz I've ordered thus far has sounded great, and I'm expecting the same here. I did a lot of youtube listening to winnow my picks to these four, so nice to know you approve! 🍻

I've only had time for visual inspections so far and all of the vinyl looks very clean. Kind of amazing how well kept this stuff is.
