The May 2023 Record Spin Challenge: Silver Screen Edition

Day 19 - Spinal Tap
Play an album that uses black on the cover

So many choices - I went with the first mostly black random discogs pick.

Some day I'll do an A/B comparison of this pressing and the SRC that came out a few months later. Both were advertised as the "First" vinyl release, but SRC's got delayed and came out a few months later.

While they get lumped in with nu-metal bands, they leaned a bit more progressive than the other nu-metal bands of the time, which is why I've liked them for as long as I have.

Mudvayne – The End Of All Things To Come
Music On Vinyl – MOVLP1692, 2002/2017

Limited/numbered to 1,500, #985

25 Memento
"Ok, so what am I doing?
Oh, I'm chasing this guy
No...he's chasing me." - Leonard

Scott Weiland "12 Bar Blues" (1998 Atlantic; 2023 RSD reissue)
Like is often the case with RSD titles one has on his wishlist, I had to chase this one down a bit. Eventually ordered it from a small local in Winnipeg.

24 Rushmore
"I like your nurse's uniform guy" Max
"These are OR scrubs." Dr Peter Flynn
"O R they?" Max

I went with Making Time by Creation because when I saw Rushmore for the first time I didn't know that song and man, it hit.

Play something you chased down to get a copy of

Sun Ra – God Is More Than Love Can Ever Be
a3434845007_16.jpg


It took damn near a dozen attempts from myself and other members of this forum before I was finally able to secure a copy of this. So many canceled orders that I refused to believe the one that went through was actually going through until it finally arrived. Extra wild given the reissue was only a couple of years old when my search began. The original is quite a rarity, and so too it seems is the reissue. Perhaps one of the most cohesive "albums" Sun Ra ever released and sounds absolutely divine as a rare trio outing!

Drive-By Truckers "The Dirty South" (2004 New West Records; 2020 reissue)
I believe the story of Sheriff Buford, who's featured in The Buford Stick, included instances of revenge and retribution.

Going to pull out the World Class Wreaking Crew 12" for the song Surgery..it hits all the right notes! You're about to go in for surgery and they're calling Dr Dre? Can I get a second opinion?!? Man who knew that rap in LA would go from this to coming straight outta Compton?
