having second hand vinyl store on the way to lunch place is a curse, and sometimes a blessing, so happy with the score

Catch and release goodwill find that I'm sending up to a friend in Seattle

Thought about why you’ve released it.
Never Heard about Harumi!
Played the last song of this album first: Samurai Memories
Mindblowing, but absolutely crazy stuff from 1968…
Have you really heard the whole album through @GraemeE ?

[GraemeE]

@Aetas I have heard and it's amazing
The condition was VG at best and it was $30 at goodwill (which is hard for me to stomach paying at a thrift store)

I was going to pass on it but I decided to call my friend and give him the option to buy it .

This particular friend is much more concerned with early pressings than I am

I'll definately be on the lookout for a re-issue

Bought these on Saturday

Love that Mdou Moctar record. Saw him in Woodstock early last year and he's fantastic in person (and his band is outstanding).

[GraemeE]

@setandsetting not sure if they actually made an album together (only saw them on youtube) but the sessions he did with lee ronaldo are pretty rad

[prpx]

for me, this is THE gun club album. timeless. production, guitar parts, even JLP tone deaf vocals are great on this one. and it sounds like a hint of tragedy to come. and drama equals gun club

Oh wow. I'll look that up.

On the topic of Lee Ranaldo playing with other bands, I saw him join Oneida and they made a record out of it that totally rips: https://safetymeeting.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-secret-project-robot

Funny how hard it is to come by an OG copy of that one. Probably people snap it up quickly because it's got "the Nirvana songs" on it. But it's definitely not even their best SST record at all. You inspired me to throw on Monsters.

I recently came across this and hit the buy button halfway through the first song.

[GraemeE]

Thanks for the recomendation
