DavidOn Tuesday 3rd March 2020, my latest musical obsession, Stereolab are playing at the San Franscisco Bath House in Wellington. As I may have alluded to previously, I’ve been gathering Stereolab’s entire back catalogue on magnificent triple, clear-vinyl reissues.

DavidI had a few turntable issues this evening which nearly derailed my listening pleasure. I eventually tracked it down to being an interconnect cable issue.

DavidGot may latest fix of triple clear vinyl from The Labs this evening - 2LPs actually - that’s 6 slabs of mindfucking magic and album numbers 8 and 9!

DavidI would have bought this wonderful record just for the cover alone. It’s certainly a great (in stereo) representation of the pleasures within.

DavidI’ve been looking out for a vinyl version of this treasure for a while now. I happened to find it in Hamilton and this is probably the antithesis of that dump.

DavidWhenever I hear Autobahn, I place myself back in the family home in Hastings in 1974. That was a huge moment for me - the day Casey Kasem played the edited, radio friendly version of “Autobahn” on the American Top 40.

DavidI don’t give a tinker’s cuss what these dudes are on about but the sonics, bottom end, verbal riffage and discomfort on this record is second to none.

DavidWhile the Germans are responsible for the abomination that is the DIN connector they are also responsible for some of the most influential and amazing music on the planet.
