fIREHOSE - If’n
I haven’t explored much post-Minutemen Mike Watt but finding an original SST pressing for around $20 seemed like a good option to dig further.

Hopefully you can find Ragin’ and fROMOHIO (my favorite)!

Psychic Hotline: No Reino Dos Afetos 2 On Psychic Hotline (Durham label run by Sylvan Esso), I believe it was pressed at Citizen. Will get cleaned up tonight but probably won’t get to spin it. That Reyna Tropical is going on first!!!

 

[The Denmarkian Wonder]

Already got a 1960 Mono repress but had to get this.

some 70's soul first pressings from Japan with very rare obis - the Otis Clay is a top 5 all time record for me, and maybe the greatest male soul heartbreak record all time (I probably have 4 copies of this record, but had never found this version with the obi, ok Ill admit I have a problem ;-)) ...also, the 'soul on' series has terrific sound across the board and are highly recommended (but don't tell anyone) - and the polydor SAL74 records are also very good

 

[I’m Just Ken]

Found this while looking for another book. Didn’t even know this book existed.

Ill Considered - Ill Considered 8 (Ill Considered Music, 2019 First Test Pressing)
Ill Considered - 9: East/West (Ill Considered Music, 2020 First Test Pressing)
Ill Considered - 10 - The Stroke (Ill Considered Music, 2020 First Test Pressing)

Leon from the group Ill Considered messaged me last week to see if I would be interested in some test pressings that he had lying around. I've been a huge fan of the group ever since someone on the forum (pretty sure it was @Mr Moore) shared a link to their "Live At The Crypt" album years ago.



Kenny Graham's Afro-Cubists – Caribbean Suite (Esquire Records, 1954 First 10" Pressing)
Tubby Hayes Quartet – The Swinging Giant Volume 1 (Tempo Records, 1955 First 7" Pressing)
Centipede - Septober Energy (RCA Neon, 1971 First Test Pressing)
The Riverside Book: Discography Of All Series by Jazz Critique (Self-Published, 1997)

Some British jazz gems. I have been after Caribbean Suite for a while and never seen a copy, so thrilled to have this and it sounds fantastic. The test pressing of Centipede was a great score, and the sleeve of the Tubby Hayes isn't in the best shape but the vinyl looks ok after a clean. Finally, an oddity in the Japan-only Riverside book.



Fred again.. – Tiny Desk, 13th March 2023 (The Vinyl Factory, 2024 Limited Pressing)

I have been a fan of Fred Again for a while now and he's finally starting to blow up the way he always deserved to. He announced a new series of limited vinyl releases of live performances with the first being his Tiny Desk performance from last year. The record sold out in seconds but I was lucky enough to get a copy. Its an incredible release, with the image on the front cover being a glossy inlay, white vinyl (which actually sounds phenomenal) a printed inner (card which is a bit annoying but I've cleaned/re-sleeved anyway), and glossy photo print. To finish it off each copy is hand numbered and signed (in pencil annoyingly)
