What's Spinning

I need to listen to some Taylor Swift albums. I keep hearing good things but don't know any of her music.

These two are a good gateway if you’re not a pop fan because of the whole association with The National and the sound being still pop but with a more indie-folk tone. They’re also just two good albums, particularly Folklore. In terms of just pure quality 1989, which is a straight pop album, is the most consistent and also the best for me.
 
Oh, man! I wish I were around for A Blowing Session! I didn't even realize they did that one.
It was part of 4 releases they did with each being 45rmp on 2LP's per set, funky coloured vinyl and thick gatefolds. I would say they were one of the best 'sets' that VMP has released to date and I really wish they went down this route more often. The 4 releases were:

Eddie Gale – Eddie Gale's Ghetto Music
Charlie Rouse – Bossa Nova Bacchanal
Johnny Griffin – A Blowing Session
Donald Byrd – Stepping Into Tomorrow

The Eddie Gale and Donald Byrd seem to be the most popular but they seem to occasionally pop up for resale at an affordable price.
