i never saw it here at the store and they usually get drag city stuff.
got the bachs reissue on void today. used to have the vinyl reissue that came out a zillion years ago, but i must have sold it. got two albums of rare 20's red nichols and miff mole sides. they rule. and i bought a used copy of the first trans am album. cuz i like trans am. and i no longer have the cd.
why oh why do i keep staring at that fancy deluxe copy of the last earth album? i'm such a sucker. so pretty though...
(i haven't even heard the album either. i'm gonna help out at the store on friday. i might have to get it...)

What's the Bachs LP like, Scott? I'd been looking for discussion about it elsewhere around here, but no luck.

So it seems the pound has finally gone so far beyond shite that it's becoming nearly impossible to buy any US vinyl. I've bought two or three thing in the past few weeks, thinking 99 cents is cheap for an album, but then the shipping just kills any notion of a steal. And new stuff? Forget it! It's just so frustrating that so much stuff is typically only offered by US sellers.
Ho hum.

the bachs album is great. some people consider it one of the GREATEST garage rock albums of all time, but i don't know if i'd go that far. they are one of the few garage/party bands from that time to record an album of all original material and the songs are very cool. the cheapo production with the massive echo is pretty hypnotic, especially on their slow bummer tracks with the awesome jangly guitars. still, they were a band that definitely could have benefited from a big label studio budget. i can't help but wonder what the songs would have sounded like with added harmonies and rock studio touches.

when oh when will someone reissue those 1st 2 A-Frames singles, to say nothing of the LPs...
"Radiation Generation" is the best KBD-style blowout I have heard this decade.
Shub Niggurath iz also the bestest.

cold sun is like the doors with more fuzz guitar.
― ian, Saturday, 27 December 2008 23:25 (fifteen years ago) link
but is it worth $55? somehow I have my doubts.
― sleeve, Saturday, 27 December 2008 23:27 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah man, i wouldn't pay that much for it. i'm sure you can find it on a blog somewhere to check out & see if it's your speed. not for meeeee.

Don't think Cold Sun is really all that Doorsy. It's quite a grower, and hard to peg. Think you'd like it, Ian. Fuck $55 for pretty much anything though.
