Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[setandsetting]

@Mizmazzle Very cool!

[Aetas]

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!

[mclaincausey]

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.

@Inorganic next on my list for him is

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE a classic indeed - I was tempted to get it at SPECKS - but passed (it comes up often enough) - and I was really tempted to pick up an old pressing of SLEEP dopesmoker....but alas someone beat me to it after I hesitated.

[GraemeE]

@Inorganic said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

SLEEP dopesmoker

I remember reading about the "weedian" repress of that one
Great record and cool concept.....it just played like shit due to oil residue

[Inorganic]

@GraemeE hahah someone was definitely weeded when they had that idea lolol

I've been neglecting the table so going to start the year off right.
