Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

@GraemeE said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):
@setandsetting it took 20+ years of all of my friends trying to get me into them but it wasn't until around 2 year ago that they "clicked" with me.
Now I'm a believerIt was a single moment in that andy Warhol doc when #1 song in heaven came on - suddenly my brain was ready to dive into a good chunk of their cataloge
That'a a good story! Didn't remember them from the doc. "Angst in My Pants" was in a recent episode of Yellowjackets on Showtime. I got into Sparks because I was having a slow day at the record store by my house last year and they had cheap copies of Indiscreet and Propaganda so I bought both. I vaguely knew that friends had mentioned them but I was really blown away by both.

@setandsetting I think I'd have to agree with you on that one - I was honestly hoping for more out of the clamtones from 77 because I like the record they did with the holy modal rounders and michael hurley a year earlier

OG mono in honor of your Dylan pickup.

Was offer to buy this , apparently is a test pressing.

@steelydan I think pricks was $40 and push the sky $35
I was pleasantly stuffed with various dumplings and pork knuckles after our meal so I wasn't as concerned with pricing as I usually am
I also passed on let love in ($70) as well as here to eternity($90) but those are both on my list to own at some point
The record store (crossroads music) is by far my favorite in Portland but it's 20 different sellers so there is no real organization.....you just have to block out at least a few hours and see what you come up with

@steelydan if someone started a business where they bring the small containers of food in carts first and then when you are done eating the wait staff brought carts of records for sale I would be financially fucked....my post dim sum will power is weak

I steelydan have to admit ,my will power to records ( vinyl ) is also weak ... Sad but true .

DEVO - Duty Now For The Future
Matrix / Runout (Etched Side B, variant 1)Scrolled through some Vinyl in my favorite record store with Sparks in my head (Based on this beautiful thread).
It clicked when I spotted this Devo, that there is a connection between these two bands. Simply had to buy it.Flashback …Round about 1985 I borrowed this LP from a friend, to copy it onto a cassette. Heard it for years on my deck, Walkman, car…
Some call it ProgPunk nowadays.
This is raised for discussion as well as some lyrics should be.Check out „I am a secret agent man“!
Spoty
Reminiscent of B‘52 bass playing, PIL singing and some Stones guitars.
All this in 1979.
Just recognized that this song is a cover.

Recently came into a few extra bucks and added Klipsch Heresy IV’s to the system. They sound spectacular.

@setandsetting I grew up on my father’s Tandberg receiver pushing air through a pair of the original Heresy I. I absolutely adore those speakers and am envious of your awesome setup. Bet it sounds spectacular!
