Fresh Grabs

Tasty new bits just arrived. I’ve been waiting for these first two for seven weeks as they traversed from the west coast of Canada via land post.

These are the first two releases on Canadian start-up, The Black Dot. Both are really nice, signed packages with interesting extras, including digital download cards, liner notes on the inside of the top-fitted J-cards, performance posters repros and Mats Gustafsson’s vinyl wantlist!

Next are these two just in from International Anthem. They’ve gone all out on the Rob Mazurek packaging, the sleeve may be the thickest, heaviest card stock I have and stands a good cm taller than most records in my collection. Really beautiful artwork.

The latest 577 release, Rachel Musson, Pat Thomas and Mark Sanders’ Shifa Live in Oslo and a fabulous looking and long overdue official reissue for Black Unity Trio’s Al-Fatihah. Would have worked out way too expensive to import personally so I was relieved when Juno stocked it albeit still very pricey.

And finally, these three Blueys from Amazon Germany and their 3 for 2 offer.

All the Grateful Dead over at the Anthology thread has taken its toll: I just received my first GD record, and others are either on pre-order or my Discogs wantlist.

Also, I grabbed one of my favorite albums of the year from my local RS last Sunday.

Jerry Garcia's Alfredo is a classic!
 
Hey @Mather , check this dumb shit out. This is how my Dinner Party lp got shipped from California. What in the actual fuck? Fortunately, it seems okay. I’m scared to take it out of the wrap. I was very confused by the box that rattled.

So... so so... so... They had a whiplash mailer. The best mailer on the planet, and they didn't bother to fold the sides in? RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

HERE COMES THE PAIN TRAIN
 
Kacey Musgraves - A Very Kacey Christmas
Aloe Blacc - Christmas Funk


In a rare bit of pre-planning, I managed to buy this year's additions to the Christmas roster *before* Christmas. Looking forward to spinning these, and with the Kelly Finnigan arriving soon I'm hoping I have close to 24 records, one for each day of the Advent calendar.

Slowly unpacking my Amazon 3/2's

Already spun Grant Green which really floored me. Best TP I've owned yet. Also picked up Chant.

Yazz Ahmed I'm also happy to say sounds much better than the first press. I'll be keeping this one.

Finally got my hands on the Max Richter N&G ROTM.
