What's Spinning

Wow, if I thought my own little project was too big of a commitment, I can't imagine how it is when you have a record collection 10 times as large as mine. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, though. At first it is kind of odd to force yourself to play a specific reford, and takes some time to get used to it, but once you do you develop a nice and unique relation with your collection. Keep us posted, and good luck!

Do you break out of order often, or are you doing it until you finish?

I already do this to a certain extent with my curated records. I try to listen to one of them a day. I don’t know that I’ll get to one of the collection every day, but I’m gonna give it a shot and see what happens. It’s been a really long time since I’d pulled 24 Carat Black and it has made the journey worth it, in and of itself. I’m excited!

Not every spin I do is in order, but my "rule" is that at least one of the records I spin every day has to be the next one in the shelf. You could say some of the records I play are part of my project, and the rest are just records I feel like playing any given day after spinning the record due for that day.

Bullmoose had this listed as “white vinyl”. Sure looks like “metallic silver”. :). Metallics can be iffy so not a first choice for Van Morrison but sounds ok so far. A few ticks and things but minor. Van is aging well.

The Soul is really taking it on the chin on side A.

the lack of a "CB" in the runouts is a bit odd, but I've seen this "!" on other releases that could potentially come from someone at Bernie Grundman Mastering.

Puscifer - All Re-Mixed Up
Queens Of The Stone Age - Queens Of The Stone Age
Mastodon - Crack The Skye
Slipknot - We Are Not Your Kind

It could also be that they are totally unrelated "!" etchings, but they look the same to me.

Got a reply...turns out he didn't do the actual cutting, his assistant did with his notes.

Queens of the Stone Age - Vinyl Reissues Coming

Not sure who is assistant is, or if it is something they want public.

I'm also planning to give this a go, but I'm going to try this next year. According to Vinyl Scrobbler so far this year I've spun 1150ish records and in Discogs I have 1430 records so it's not entirely impossible (I definitely have more records than are in Discogs but I'm not sure how many). I think my strategy will be to avoid all the records I bought this year first off to see how far I can get (my system of listening to each new release 3 or now 2 times really slows me down). I'm actually super excited to start so thanks @agutierrezb!
