Porcupine Tree - Up the Downstair 1993

The oldest Porcupine recording in my hands.
This is the remastered version from 2008…
… real drums added!

Like it a lot.
But it is only the deep end of their remarkable back catalogue.

One of our favorite traditions is adding new Christmas Albums to the collection. We just got our tree, about to clean these up, and listen to them as we decorate.
Thanks a ton @GraemeE for some great suggestions.

@Mizmazzle great call I need to throw this on when I get back to my turntable

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle These are way more exciting than the Barbara Streisand, Peanuts, and Bing Crosby albums that we have

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf oh, we have the Peanuts and Bing Crosby albums too. Haha. Think we added those a few years back. The Peanuts one might be my overall favorite Christmas album!!

Edit: actually, Peanuts may be tied with the Ventures Christmas album. You should check that one out if you haven’t. So damn good!

Oh nice! I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

So, I was gifted a $50 Target gift card and wasn't sure what to get with it. then I remembered they sell vinyl. I picked up these two, and blew my budget by $1.12. Score! :

Khruangbin - Con Todo El Mundo

and

Khruangbin - Live at the Sydney Opera House

[GraemeE]

@seawolf i have, and love, the first but haven't heard the live one.

I'm assuming it's great?

[seawolf]

@GraemeE from what I’ve read, it’s one of their best live performances that’s been released. And as far as I know, it’s only available on vinyl. If that’s true, it’s going to be pretty special.

The pitchfork recording is phenomenal. Have you seen it?

[GraemeE]

Picked up this guy today.

Great song and I love the B side, but then again pretty much every song on Odessy and Oracle is stellar

Came here for Cortez the Killer

@Aetas said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Cortez the Killer

That's the gem on this one of course

[popvulture]

Let’s be real, though — they’re all gems.

[GraemeE]

@popvulture also a valid assessment

[GraemeE]

Next up this morning is this bootleg.
I think the only official release of the Barry/ Louis Armstrong tune was on a Northern Ireland Peace comp in the early 90s

[Aetas]

The address on this fine bootleg let me scratch my head @GraemeE .
Lo and behold it must be a tactic for diverting, because there is really only an ARAL filling station .

Una Quena A Traves De Los Andes

Great Christmas Records mentioned over the last days.
When I was a child, a lot of South American folk groups showed up in December and went busking the city centers.
