No Buy/Spin Yr Collection Challenge - July 2022

Alcest - Kodama

I had to get a second of these back in February of last year with the first having a spine split, two corner dings, and tearing near the vinyl pocket opening. Prophecy Production's method of sending out vinyl is, to put it kindly, haphazard (an oversized box with the record inside and no extra packing material/filler). This replacement still has a corner ding, but is at least acceptable.

Madonna - La Isla Bonita - Super Mix

It's an RSD release from '19, but I don't participate in the event any longer. There have been scant offerings for all RSD drops in the three years since that have interested me. Haven't acquired an RSD title since Ericj32 helped me out with securing Charli XCX - Vroom Vroom EP almost two full years ago.
Looking to offload this one as well.

Yoshi Wada - Lament for the Rise and Fall of the Elephantine Crocodile


20220706_125136.jpg

First spin (acquired in January). Julia Holter cited this album as one that captivated her on first listen. I got it in Rough Trade's past Christmas sale, and am enjoying what I am hearing. A very striking use of a makeshift instrument, in which Wada combines bagpipes (the "Elephantine Crocodile") and a drone box (the "Alligator") paired with his throat singing. Very much an avantgarde piece.

The perfect follow up to @CroutonBoy.

My CDs of these are all that's been played in my car so far this month. (And while I've spent less time in my car than in the work truck, it's still been a LOT of time in my car - probably nearing a dozen spins of each!)
