DavidPicked this fine compilaton up from my second favourite Melbourne record shop, Rocksteady Records in Lonsdale St, CBD. Just $33 Aussie dollars for a 2 LP white vinyl record is exceptional value.

DavidA wonderful new discovery for me, often mentioned fleetingly in the distant past by mega-fan Nathan Ford, I’d never delved into this rabbit hole until now.

DavidMy Melbournian pal, Maurice, who I caught up with in person recently, has been raving about this record ad nauseam. To tone down his incessant admiration somewhat, I thought I’d better buy it on CD.

DavidThis is the ultimate fairy tale album. Peter Perret is probably lucky to be still on the planet yet alone in absolutely top form on this recording.

DavidAnother fantastic find in Melbourne was arguably Lou Reed’s best ever (official) live record “Live In Italy” which was recorded in 1983.

DavidI was thrilled to get a copy of this very limited Record Store Day release on 10" clear vinyl. It took Alan Vega and Martin Rev, the core of Suicide, more than 30 years to get the recognition they deserved.

DavidCompletely wacko but totally enjoyable forth solo record from co-founder of krautrock band Can. Aside from the first song, “The Photo Song”, (definitely a false start as the “poppiest” song on the album), it’s an unconventional and wild ride across the remaining 10 tracks.

DavidOne real blessing of spending an extra week in Melbourne, following a 7 day Covid-19 Aussie/NZ travel bubble pause, was spending some quality time trawling the records shops in Melbourne City and Brunswick/Smiths Street in Collingwood.

DavidWhat a mish mash of a record! And that’s high praise indeed. The width and depth of this covid lockdown production by these obviously bored and highly prolific Australians is quite remarkable.

DavidFantastic double (black) vinyl re-working of Jane Weaver’s 2014 record “The Silver Globe” and 2017’s “Modern Kosmology”. All I can say is my recently purchased Rega MM Fono stage now connected to my upstairs Project Debut and NAD amp is absolutely kicking some serious sonic arse.
