What's Spinning

[Selaws]

The Kenny Clarke Francy Boland Big Band - At Her Majesty's Pleasure.... (Black Lion Records/Polydor, 1971 First Pressing)

Well this is a really cool release. The story goes that as the American's arrived in the UK to play at Ronnie Scotts club, they were apprehended at Heathrow airport and Johnny Griffin was taken to lock-up for the night (turns out he owed tax). Luckily Boland was able to pay his fines and after a successful residency at Ronnie Scott's they decided to make an album (with each track referring to a different prison, or jail-related title). The line-up is killer and includes Johnny Griffin, Sahib Shihab, Ronnie Scott, Kenny Clarke, etc. The previous owner has taped a press release/review in the gatefold as well, which is pretty cool.

Julia Holter - Loud City Song [347/347]
signed



Saved my favorite album of the last 10 years to wrap up the collection challenge. It is (almost singlehandedly) responsible for my current music tastes, and I hope to still enjoy this decades later. I'm glad this album came to me at the perfect time in my life, sometime in mid-2017, when I wasn't quite sure what my goals in life were, in addition to music interests. It is the first album I brought to a concert to get signed. Many personal memories associated with this special album, and I hope more will follow. ❤

Logging off this thread for a while now.

The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!

#284: TV On the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain

#285: Tyler, The Creator - Flower Boy



One of my favorite albums of the 2010's. It's incredible to see Tyler's growth as a producer, arranger and songwriter. This is my favorite project of his (although IGOR is a VERY strong competitor), and I believed him when he told Rick Rubin he still hasn't made his GREAT rap album.

Your record is on a ufo, dude.

[eatdogs]

Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place

Fantastic sounding reissue.



On the Might of Princes - Where You Are and Where You Want to Be

Great early 2000's Emo / Screamo. Long time coming for this reissue.

 

[Bluecloud777]

Kanye West "The College Dropout"

I expected this record to not sound great as most Ye records seem to be not well manufactured, but it sounds great most of the time.

 

[Poly-Rythmo]

My collection #794-795

Colombia!
Miles Davis - Live at Fillmore West 1970

Pure joy from probably the best of Colombian compilations, and from Miles at or close to his peak on a great bootleg.

 

[Ed Selley]

Your record is on a ufo, dude.

This is a politer (and cooler) description than it usually gets. 'Oil rig' is the most common.

 

[RowBearToe]

Harry Styles - Fine Line

 

[POGunter]

Grabs you from the 1st note. A Saturday morning special. Nice.

Edit: this is a case where the music carries the day as my pressing (noisy) and sound (3 out of 5 maybe) could be much better.
