Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

3rd just showed up in the mail - ive had my eye on this comp since it came out but @Matt posting Kid A in the music thread made me realize that the time to buy was now

[Jek]

@GraemeE I bought that album about a decade ago simply because I thought the cover, and moustache, was great. What an album! Non-stop Italodisco prototechno bangers.

Got these on Saturday

Made by Tanner Goods? That's pretty cool.

[popvulture]

Haha Tanner had their hands in a lotta pies there for a minute. I have a leather slipmat they made somewhere.

[GraemeE]

@Jek @popvulture I think it was the sort of thing where the first 20-30 had a leather sleeve and the rest had a standard one

Can't imagine it would be very cost effective to make them for an entire run

That being said the music world does do plenty of things that a normal person might find excessive

Case in point is this box set I was reading about this week.....

Looool that is absurd. I mean I liked some ATDI just fine, but assigning an artist that much weight seems like a real stretch. At the end of the day though, I suppose fans gonna fan.

[GraemeE]

@popvulture I'm trying to think if an artist/ band exists that warrants that extensive of a box set

I don't even think Neil Young or Bob Dylan has 57 records worth of material i would find necessary to own

[Jek]

That's crazy that he has that much material without even including at the drive-in or the mars volts... Wild.

@GraemeE said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

…. 57 records worth of material …

That’s a lot.

First song I came across - O -
Omar with John Frusciante.
Stuck and Stoked!

But 57 LPs … think about five of them are glorious and you’ll have the time to find them.
How long will you take?

[GraemeE]

Had some store credit to use this weekend

[SKT]

@GraemeE nice haul

[GraemeE]

@SKT seeing your Wilco LPs sparked the desire in me to start gathering my favorites of theirs that I used to own on CD

[SKT]

@GraemeE I love that album man. I got this recently on a whim (it may sound awful…we’ll see) Still need A.M. on vinyl. Got Cousin too but it’s tucked away as a Christmas present from my kids.

[GraemeE]

@SKT that looks awesome - even if it sounds mediocre it will be great eye candy.

I'm still trying to get into Cousin
2 listens so far and it hasn't grabbed me....but I'm not giving up quite yet

@SKT I wasn’t really familiar with Wilco until I saw them this summer at a festival in Birmingham (UK). They were absolutely superb. Would definitely see again.

[SKT]

@IrishHeart bet that was a great show. One of my all-time bands…excited for you to get to know them!

[IrishHeart]

@SKT it really was! It was a three day event and they headlined the Sunday night. They were joined onstage by Billy Bragg for one song as they had previously collaborated on some old Woody Guthrie songs. Billy had performed earlier in the evening.

I will definitely see them again next time they visit the UK
