I love this box set. It was one which I picked up on a whim, not really knowing too much about Sun Ra's music. Glad I did though as I have listened to the full set 3-4 times now.

I'm finally just throwing it on. Gonna try and power through while the kid is in her room chatting with friends

Hahaha I know that feeling. I have to wait until my girlfriend leaves the room to play it otherwise I get constant eye rolls and "is this even music" every few minutes

Luckily between chatting with friends and watching Tik Tok, she's in her own little world.

Michael Kiwanuka - Kiwanuka

Kalita reissue (2020)

VSOP - The Quintet
Columbia (1977)

I just picked this up from Acoustic Sounds but I think it may be a recent out-of-print Mo-Fi. Limited to 4000.

This was Linda Ronstadt’s big breakout album. Includes the hit Your No Good. Sounds excellent.

 

[POGunter]

This must have been an impulse buy as I had to look it up after it arrived. Solid record. Sounds decent sonically. Pressing quiet. Good tunes. Call it Psychedelic Folk but it would fit other genres.

FWIW Shipped from UK to USA. Packed poorly in thin recycled cardboard. Bent cover. Still a worthwhile purchase.

Edit: you just know this won’t b good.

#Top Purchases Of 2020 - In alphabetical order

Being 2020 I didn't get out to many record stores and do much digging in the used bins - most of what I bought were new releases or reissues purchased online. It didn't help that my local store closed midway through the year.

This is mostly a list of releases that I'm glad I picked up over the year.

#1.
