Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[SKT]

Few more that I find visually interesting
Prince & The Revolution-Around the World in a Day

Talking Heads-Little Creatures

Little Feat-Sailin Shoes

[GraemeE]

I'm going to have to listen to that Prince based on the artwork alone and am huge fan of the Talking heads - this will be a good theme for my listening today (choosing albums with visually pleasing artwork )
Based on this my morning will continue with these:

Scott Walker - 3
Nick Drake -Pink Moon
Soft Machine - Self Titled

[SKT]

@GraemeE all amazing cover art but I really love the Nick Drake

[steelworker]

@GraemeE Soft Machine hell yeah

[GraemeE]

@steelworker - love those guys

Big fan of Ayers and Wyatt solo albums as well, even though it's a departure from the vibe of their earlier stuff with SM

Beatiful contribution everyone!

Tonight I was in the mood for the Dexy’s.

Story behind…
I have several singles and LP’s of DMR.
When I was for the first time in England in 82, brought back a lot of punk and soul vinyl, because I spend more time in London than in Brighton, I was supposed to be .

‘Searching for the young soul rebels’ became a long time friend, because of its Stax recommendation marked in blue.

Tracked down some of these Stax singles over the years and love them.

@Aetas great story behind the album and that Stax playlist is incredible. I need to spend some time going down that musical rabbit hole! Thanks for posting!

[Aetas]

@SKT
Thanks for your reply!
Behind was the Sugar Hill Box Set from 1997.
Another rabbit hole to exoplore…

@Aetas Thanks for the flashback!! I remember being a kid and hearing that for the first time. At that time, there was nothing like it...

I didn't know that they had re released that album though. The original came out in 1982.

@steelydan - that jazz trio is Carter, Jones and Williams?

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , yes ... Awesome bass , definitely demo quality.

[GraemeE]

@steelydan I've seen a handful of east wind stuff over the years but never owned any.

Their pressings are supposedly pretty high end?

[steelydan]

@GraemeE , oh yes , for Japanese pressing , east wind n three blind mice are great audiophile favourite .. mostly direct cut ..

[steelydan]

Still hunting for this #tbm-39 for many years , do give me a heads up if anybody see 1 ... Please...

[GraemeE]

@steelydan - oof....just looked that one up on discogs

There are a few but not cheap

On a somewhat related note this LP is one of my white whales

[GraemeE]

Continuing my strategy for workday listening based on albums with cool artwork:
Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear
Dukes of Stratosphere - 25 o' clock
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi

[SKT]

Man I love that artwork especially the 25 o’clock

[steelydan]

@GraemeE ,that 25 o'clock cover remind me of earlier Cream works , so psychedelic.
