Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

Today's thrift finds

[Mizmazzle]

When we bought our house this room was designated as my listening room. However, it was overflow storage for years. I listened amongst boxes, bags, and random dump location for a couple years. We’ve finally managed to get it cleared out and some art on the walls. I’m so stoked. Now time to add some more storage, a better listening chair and get settled in!!

@Mizmazzle That looks like a full vintage setup. What do you have there?

[Mizmazzle]

@tody yeah it is. mostly 70’s era
Pioneer SX-850
Pioneer PL-570 (refurbished and veneered in rosewood)
Acoustic Research AR 2ax speakers (circa 1965)
SVS Sub (not a vintage component)

Christmas present from a friend. Loving Savoy
This is a licenced French pressing from the late 60‘, and all three are in mint condition .

[Mizmazzle]

@Aetas those are beautiful!! What a great gift!

[Mizmazzle]

Here’s a gift I got for Christmas. It’s the 33 1/3 mastering. Stoked to listen uninterrupted!!

@Mizmazzle What's that framed on your side wall there?

[Mizmazzle]

@setandsetting they are sand paintings of tigers I got when I was in Myanmar. Then the one on the left wall, which can’t be seen really is an old tattoo book of Buddhist imagery that I found at a village market in Myanmar as well.

[setandsetting]

@Mizmazzle Very cool!

A Vinyl I lost in the early 90‘, during usual trades to copy on tape.
The Style Council was definitely a game changer to me.
Record Store found …couldn’t resist.
The first side of CaféBleu was my favorite.

Curious to explore side two again.

Lp versions are much more on the point than this:

Wait until Paul sings in French…

Love my christmas gift!

Love these guys. Discovered them through my late friend who was their first road manager. They bought Tipitina’s, a storied New Orleans venue, and started releasing original pressings through an operation they call the Tipitina’s Record Club.

Man, flashback @mclaincausey ! Did you ever go see them at Muddy Waters in Jackson way back in the day? Those shows were epic.

[popvulture]

@Aetas love it! I’m a huge Weller fan — do you ever listen to his solo stuff? Wild Wood is my fave, had to make sure to track down an original copy of it on vinyl. Was a bit of an endeavor.

[IrishHeart]

@Aetas were you into The Jam? I was a big fan and lucky enough to see them live a couple of times in the late 70’s.

[mclaincausey]

@popvulture absolutely did! Some of those were their earliest shows outside of New Orleans

[popvulture]

@mclaincausey man, such good memories of those shows. Gonna have to pop that record on, been ages.

[Aetas]

@IrishHeart @popvulture
Was too young to see The Jam live, but discovered them as a link between Punk, Mod/Ska and Rock in my youth.
First live experience with Paul Weller was Style Council in 86.
His solo back catalogue is tremendous and outstanding for me is also Wild Wood and Stanley Road.
