Still haven't completed my wantlist, bit I've noticed a few good releases for Disquaire Day (French RSD), including Dylan's En route libre, as well as some French hip hop (NTM, Dee-nasty), and ambassador Etienne Daho with a cover album. Some jazz sessions recorded in France too (I assume it's...

A quick note that there are 3 Dylan reissues for Disquaire Day (French RSD), the most interesting IMO being Freewheelin' in its original form, i.e. with the title translated and all liner notes in French, as it was the norm at that time. The original doesn't seem hard to find on discogs, but a...

Boxsets are still capturing the top spots, but for single albums, here's my new #1 https://www.discogs.com/Various-Musiques-Inspir%C3%A9es-Du-Film-La-Haine/release/1348529 A hip hop compilation project inspired by the 1995 cult movie La Haine, about French suburbs and police oppression...

Received today, 2 OG classics from Mano Negra, one major band of the mid-80's/mid-90's alternative French scene (a.k.a. Rock Alternatif), with strong Spanish influences.

I've noticed a few Blue Note lots in an upcoming auction from Omega https://bid.omegaauctions.co.uk/m/view-auctions/info/id/73 Including some Japan imports, such as https://bid.omegaauctions.co.uk/m/lot-details/index/catalog/73/lot/16931...

That sounds like a very plausible option! Even though the use of "album" is a bit of a stretch here. Also, there's already a vinyl release of their discography (EP boxset or LP), but it's a Spanish pressing and IIRC I've read (maybe in this thread?) that VMP considers "first time on vinyl"...

Also, a weird way to price their records 😅

It also looks like the picture doesn't match the version - it shows 3 tracks on side D but tracklisting describes a single record w/ A/B sides. Maybe you're talking about two different releases then?

Unrelated, but the Op Ivy LP will be reissued in Europe for RSD2020. Leaked source: 20200302-154641-resized-1

Finally a Dance Craze repress! 🕴️

Same here, I've just emailed them. I trust they'll refund it, but they definitely need to sort out those logistics issues. Edit: got an answer this morning with confirmed refund and cancellation. As usual, very reactive with their support.

Maybe Laura Llorens & The Shadows of Love? Never heard before but looks like a 👌 choice again

I'm also pleased to get another way to buy AP pressings internationally, but that confuses me re. VMP strategy (I already hear "which strategy?" in the audience!). One the one hand they have cheap/me-too colored variants and RHH, mostly GZ-pressed, and on the other hands, the Classic track and...

TBH, free international shipping is a big plus. Even though the record is a few $ more than via acoustic sounds / discogs, it leads to a 10€ saving for Pet Sounds for instance.

I've been guilty of that a few times, an OCD regarding round prices when postage is added...

Rose Tattoo will release"Outlaws", a re-recording of their 1978 album "Rock'n'roll Outlaw" on the 6th of March. http://cleorecs.com/home/playlist/rose-tattoo-outlaws/

You will never look back :-) I've done the same recently (i3 NUC with ROCK) and while I'm still ripping my CDs, it completely changed the way I listen to digital files, and even how I buy records (a 2€ second hand CD that I can enjoy with Roon liner notes vs an OK-ish vinyl repress with poor...

Thanks, I forgot about Crocodisc! You're not the first one to recommend Betino's so I'll definitely have a look. Thanks too for Heartbeat, this might be a good place for my OBI-obsession 🙈

👋I'm in Paris next week, and even though I'm regularly traveling here, it's been a while since I haven't shopped in local indie stores. Besides the one I used to spend time and are still around (born bad, silence de la rue, Gibert...), I'm trying to find some good second hand stores (eclectic...

Life - A picture of good health A great post-punk album with some power-pop influences. Orange vinyl edition. https://www.lifeband.co.uk/
