Rolling 2008 Vinyl Thread

is white noise any good? i am doing a musique concrete/early electronic bulk buy and i think that might be in there somewhere.

it's very good!

it's awesome.

white noise is great. features delia derbyshire!

yeah i was just gonna say, even i, a non-vinyl thread contributor knows that album is great

I grabbed today:
1st patty waters LP
mississippi john hurt on yazoo
pharaoh monche - internal affairs
ornette coleman - the empty foxhole
africa sanza LP

lol hi linds.

yay pharohe monche that surprised me.

got signals, calls, and marches by mission of burma.

good holy hell these burma reissues are such nerd porn, beautful packaging, sound amazing, blah blah blah, but also you just paid 30 fucking bucks for essentially an EP...oh well. they are my favorite band so i was doomed.

they were out of versus, so I got Red hash by gary higgins instead...wow wow wow, what a weird magickal album.

pharaoh monche - internal affairs

that's way out of print right? godzilla sample beef over "simon says." or maybe they put out another version of the record without that song.

pretty sure it's OOP... the CD and LP both sell for minor dough on ebay (sometimes.) but it's a common enough record in NYC, it seems. if u needin a copy i can keep an eye out.

"got signals, calls, and marches by mission of burma."

i had this on a double album at one time. white rykodisc vinyl. sold it for good money on ebay too. um, they aren't my favorite band. though i did like their pink floyd cover when i saw them here a few years back.

i WAS just listening to the sproton layer album last week though. now that album i love!

what's sproton layer like? i've always been curious. and i always get them mixed up with the stalk forest in my head.

if u needin a copy i can keep an eye out.

yeah maybe. that'd be cool. I have the Simon Says 12" but never got the LP.

joshue burkett - where's my hat?
ilyas ahmed - the vertigo of dawn
black forest/black sea - portmanteau 10"
terry riley - the harp of new albion
Hallelujahs LP ('86 japanese psych, way awesome with a few lyrics in english.)

also,
v/a - wayfaring strangers (2 LP comp of fingerpicked solo guitar from the private press/micro label side of things.)

Harp of New Albion is awesome. One of my favorite Riley recordings and probably my favorite just intonation piece. "Well-Tuned Piano" is just too hard for me to focus on most days.

neil young - tonights the night (orig)
blue cheer - vincebus eruptum (early, maybe orig, with embossed cover)
drive like jehu - st
drive like jehu - yank crime
pil - first issue (OMG sounds so much better than CD, seriously biggest diff ive ever heard)

metal box vinyl versus cd is like a whole different album

BILL COSBY - REVENGE

rocked:

John Foxx - Metamatic
Ryuichi Sakamoto - B2 Unit
Kraftwerk - Computer World
Harmonia - Musik Von Harmonia
Herbie Hancock - Hear, O Israel
Buckingham/Nicks
Tim Buckley - Blue Afternoon

matt is the 4menwbeards reissue worth getting, or should i start biddin?

i can't speak to the metal box reissue, but 4 men with beards in general does a great job. i mentioned it somwhere (this thread?) that i'm glad 4 Men With Bears are actually doing stuff that people are interested in and will want to buy and stuff, like the Scott Walker & PIL and some other stuff. Before it was all Marquee Moon and one Tim Buckley album and already-common Aretha Franklin LPs. They also did Black Woman though, which was a hugely important record for me.

listening to carly simon's greatest hits vol 1.

I guess 4 Men also just did Gene Clark's "White Light." I forgot about that. And they were the people who reissued the Judee Sill records on LP. Man, I dunno, maybe I'm a hater, but I don't see why they had to also reussue the 2nd, ultra-common Television record, or some of those John Cale LPs. or Singles Going Steady.

Good idea to do the burrito bros too, though! i forgot that was them too.

Holy shit. Somebody dude dumped about 50 or so classic looking UK DIY punk 7"s in my local record shop. I didn't recognise many of the names, but some of these were radiating Chuck Warner vibes. Or maybe I just don't know 'em! Anyone recommendations???

Shattered Dolls
The Visitors - Electric Heat
Bad Actors
Rue De Remarx - One Way Trip
Neon Hearts - Venue Eccentric
Cyanide
Tins
Blank Tapes Vol 1 ep, with Geisha Girls and some other bands
Legendary Tenfoots
If Musik - Fox in Socks
Spare Parts

4 men with beards did a friggin' EXCELLENT job with big star's third. sounds the best it has ever sounded. better than previous vinyl and way better than ryko's cd version.

and the chris bell is nice to have on vinyl too. though i can't remember what that sounded like on cd, so i can't compare. but their vinyl sounded nice. i always come close to getting their metal box - store here still has a copy - but i haven't done it. i'll bet it sounds swell.

Also... Raped - Cheap Night out. Youch.
http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z149/pengy1966/img826.jpg

you have to ask whether to buy that????

buy them all if they are cheap.

i will basically buy anything from the 70's if it's cheap enough. especially if i don't know what it is/have never heard of it.

I'm usually looking for something I don't know, too. Like the Rhythm Methodists 7" I mentioned up thread. The b-side of that was an outstanding find. (I'd YSI if I could!) It was just in a tatty white sleeve with a typewriter written address. That's a gimme, if ever there was one...

Nice to see the real thing anyway, rather than just a rapidShare page. Unfortunately the ones I mentioned above were mostly £10 a pop. And even though I could probably get twice the asking price for some of them online, I haven't got the energy or the inclanation, really.

(I'm sure Colonel Poo could help with these)

Gnarly - get the Bad Actors, it's probably worth a few quid. If it's Strange Love/Energy Society, I dunno if the other one's worth anything.

Also the Raped were really good!

Which shop was this BTW ;)

Only thing I found lately was an early pressing of Roxy Music - Stranded in a charity shop. And I bought a Norton 7" of the Sonics - Cinderella/He's Waitin', just for the hell of it really, cos I already had them both on CD, the B-side is probably my favourite song of all time.

xpost haha as if by magic

Cyanide were pretty shit. I have some Visitors mp3s but I haven't listened to them yet. Neon Hearts rings a bell, maybe a mod band?

I know of an mp3 blog that has a Bad Actors 7" on it if you want to hear it... not sure about linking to it here though.

You're like flies on shit! They were in Flashback Essex Road. I figured you'd be interested...

I can't remember which Bad Actors, but I was taken with the band name.

Supposedly Neon Hearts was Paul Raven from Killing Joke, a dude from Fashion, and the other dudes became The Circles(?).

That Raped 7" looks pretty neat. Seems Gary Bushell was outraged by them. I didn't even know he was a music journalist. All I remember of him was the Viz comparing his mouth to an electric vagina.

I might have a look tomorrow... I've got the week off work so I'm not doing much else. I'll go and find those Visitors mp3s I guess!

I remember one Viz strip where someone is desperately drinking whisky so they'll pass out before Bushell On The Box comes on telly.

I just got the 4 Men with Beards reissue of White Light mentioned upthread. Beautiful record.

cant wait for my stimulus check

many xposts to Ian...

for the record I REALLY need a replacement copy of Singles Going Steady, and if 4 Men W/Beards hadn't reissued it I would be out of luck, probably.

singles going steady is a record you can find in a most college towns for $6 right???

i got a bunch of fre judy collins records.

I went down to Flashback today, but didn't get anything from the mass of DIY punk, it was too rich for my blood. That Visitors 7" is pretty good, but it's £17.99. Got Fad Gadget - Back To Nature 7" instead. And some random 20p singles which my wife will melt into bowls if they suck. I got her a Fixx picture disc.

The Bad Actors single is the 1st one, I just downloaded that to see what's it like. The one I have is their 2nd.

singles going steady is a record you can find in a most college towns for $6 right???

I wish! Haven't seen a copy other than that new reissue in years and years...
