Day 31 - same artist as day 1
Steely Dan - Greatest Hits
Shout-out to @Fleetwood-Matt for a great month. When I got back into vinyl a decade or so ago, I made a strange decision - the artists I had everything of on CD I'd buy greatest hits of, and the artists I only had greatest hits of I'd buy a lot of. You can imagine how that went - within a few months I'd decided I couldn't live with Beatles red/blue and Dylan 1/2 and got a lot. Stupid decision really. Anyway, for some reason I hung on longer with Steely Dan. This is a fabulous greatest hits, but their albums are even better and I'm glad I've seen the light. So this might be the last spin this one gets...

For a picture disc, this sounds really good. This is a later CB cut that was discovered to be released around 2011, it just replaced the 2006 release so no one knows exactly when it became available. I'd still love to see a regular black pressing some day.
Tool – Lateralus
Volcano /Tool Dissectional – 61422-31160-1 LP, 2001/2006/?

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band / The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle
My favorite record by The Boss. When people say vinyl sounds “warmer” than digital this is the album that comes to mind. It wraps me up like a nice blanket and all them jazzy drum hits seem to bop and bap right off the little black disc.I could have easily used this for the “record that makes you nostalgic” day, except this one makes me nostalgic for something I didn’t even live.
...and me I just got tired of hangin in them dusty arcades, bangin them pleasure machines...

Johnny Cash – At Folsom Prison (Columbia, 2018 RSD Limited Numbered 5-LP Box Set)
Well I suppose I kind of cheated on day 1 by posting the first 3 records I got (which I believe was in one purchase) so I had 3 to pick from today as well. I posted a Pink Floyd album yesterday so today I decided to listen to my Johnny Cash – At Folsom Prison box set. I got this on my first RSD experience (queuing up etc) and everytime I listen to it I realise just how fantastic it is. From the banter between Cash and the crown in between tracks, to some of the fantastic songs that were not included in the standard release, it really is a killer box set and well worth getting.
I will also take this time to thank @Fleetwood-Matt for a fantastic list over the past month. Its been a really tough few months for me and the beginning of this month was when I started trying to get back into a routine, so checking this list each day and getting creative with choices has really helped, so thanks buddy!

Thanks for getting me digging into my collection a bit. It has been fun engaging in a month of vinyl with all of you. This thread has also opened my eyes to some awesome artists. Big thanks to Matt and to everyone.

Here's Ella. She wasn't feeling well all week, she's over 15 years old and we were a bit worried. But, she's been back to her usual grumpy self this weekend.

I played 2 artists on day one. One of which was Black Sabbath. Different vocalists mind you. An apt end to this brilliant thread for me with some Ronnie

Schematic - Color (n.) Inside The Lines
Not exactly the same artist, but this is a solo album from Mae's Dave Elkins. I was gifted this signed album from my sister when she saw him play a set at Grimey's in Nashville when it was released. Interesting enough, she got both today's and day 1's albums signed for me.
This challenge was a ton of fun, thanks @Fleetwood-Matt! And thanks for kicking off a chain reaction convincing others to sign up to run challenges for the next year haha

On Day One I played The Honeydrippers, and they never did a second album. Jimmy Page joined Robert Plant on that record for a song. But did you know this isn't the only time those two worked together? Yep, Robert sung on a Jimmy solo record. Those two should have formed a band, ya know?
Jimmy Page - Outrider

Day 31
Crazy how nostalgic I am for the beginning of the month when the worst thing going on was a plague This has been an absolute blast thanks for putting it together, and thanks for all who listened to my ramblings.
Anyway started with Metallica and ending with these guy storming the stage with a full orchestra at their disposal. So many epic moments in this.
If you check out the part 2 I was lucky enough to catch it at the movie theater before they all closed down . It’s a little different. The orchestra is arranged in a circle with the band playing in the middle , and it seemed like they were all having a lot more fun. High fiving violin players and playing a few classical tunes.
