Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[Steve]

My problem is that I can buy a vinyl just because of the cover. This one I was suckered in by the title and photo - contains absolutely dreadful 'elevator music' versions!!!

[Alex]

@Steve:

absolutely dreadful 'elevator music

@AdamJ will love it then

Now i kind of want to hear that album….
Looks like 1968?

The combination of elevator music and cheesy wordplay

[GraemeE]

I came upon this record by chance while looking for a copy of a brian wilson song that glenn cambell recorded.
Turns out tasturo yamashita covered it which led me to this album…arguably pretty damn close to elevator music - exotica through the lense of 1978
The players are pretty much the all stars of that era in pop
Yamashita, sakimoto, hosono etc...set me in motion to relisten to happy end, ymo and now I'm on the hunt for city pop vinyl

[Steve]

@GraemeE yes it's late 60s.

Some of the best buys are ones you're not looking for! (even elevator music)

[GraemeE]

I'm 100% novice when it comes to the genre but I picked these 2 up last weekend from Mississippi Records in Portland

[Steve]

Two recent purchases, this time the vinyl is as good as the cover (if you like soul/funk/disco that is)!

[Mizmazzle]

@Steve im going to check those out Simply based on the covers!!

[Steve]

@Mizmazzle haha, I only seem to buy records for the covers now!

[Mizmazzle]

I love how those old 50s era bosa nova/ jazz records always had some hot chick on them…often covered with whip cream. Even though this one must be more 70s being disco.

Love Rufus!

Saw this one in the wild today at a thrift store in good condition but there was a long (and somewhat rowdy line) at the register so I ended up passing on it.

Hadn't heard of the band but the cover looked interesting and the liner notes implied 80s industrial/dark electronic

Loving this thread. I’ve got a small and diverse collection that started when I was a kid. Have some stuff from grandparents, my dad and stuff I picked up in the 70’s and 80’s. Here’s one of my favorites.

One of my all time favorite albums. From high school. Hüsker Dü-Warehouse:Songs and Stories

[endo]

woohoo nice one

[SKT]

@endo it’s a wonder it still plays…I wore it out back in the day. Emo before emo was a thing

[jerkules]

Love that Hüsker Dü album, and the cover art
