DavidYou’d think I’d be sick to death of Lana Del Rey. This is her 9th record since 2012’s “Born To Die”.

DavidUnlike the Cure’s later, post 1992’s “Wish” albums, the Bunnymen HAVE continued to make great records. While The Cure re-peddle their magnificent back catalogue, Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant have managed to be creative and sound as fresh as those early days.

DavidThis 2022 half-speed-mastered, repress of The Who’s 3rd record sounds ridiculously good. Entwistle’s bass guitar especially comes to the fore but there’s amazing staging of all instruments.

DavidJust what we need, some bright and summery uplift. Beautifully packaged with embossed gold lettering and a big bold gatefold sleeve, the vinyl matches the cover and is pressed on gold nugget vinyl (Legendary Edition.

DavidAnother great Alison Goldfrapp/Will Gregory Collaboration. There’s no end to the talent of these two. While nothing will improve on my first exposure, this is one slick record.

DavidAnother all instrumental release from Tuscon’s best avant-garde, neo-psychedelic, Miles Davis Bitches Brew-era protagonists. Absolutely made for vinyl, there’s no other way to replicate and consume their retro-70’s schtick.
