Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

@GraemeE said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):
@ManiacLachy ive picked up on a fair amount of new (to me) tunes from what @J-IV posts and I'm going to out on a limb and say that @NickD probably has some gold on those shelves of his
Even with a few hundred jazz titles I still feel like I’m just scratching the surface of the genre.
Anyway, here’s one for today. Ellington, Mingus and Max Roach. Not a group of musicians you’d imagine together, but it’s an absolute classic.

@68degreesorless thanks for this, I was going to ask for Blues suggestions next. I couldn't find this album on Apple, but they had other options for Mississippi Fred McDowell, cheers.

Yesterday @tody and @Tago-Mago mentioned this band in the music thread.
Bad Religion- All your yesterdays is an unofficial release from 91’ and I haven’t heard it for decades. Sound quality is as modest as my system was at this time.
It’s on a par with seven songs of their debut How Could Hell Be Any Worse?. -
Driftin’ Back with Neil tonight.

Another one for the hip hop heads

@ManiacLachy i just looked thru my blues lps and picked 5 - here you go in no particular order -
jb lenoir - natural man
magic sam - west side soul
koko taylor - i got what it takes
champion jack dupree - blues from the gutter
robert nighthawk - live on maxwell street -
@68degreesorless oh, thank you! I'll queue them up for a listen ASAP.
-
I’m even rustier than you on time signatures, but the album notes may help. IMHO they’re probably just trying to be clever, but it’s a great album.
-
Yes, we do dig you Bill.
-
Do you guys keep your records in plastic covers?
I don't. I like the cardboard touch of the covers, the unrestricted view on the artwork and I don't care for the 'preciousness' of my collection (but also don't have many rare ones).
But if you do, you probably have good reasons. Please let me know.

@endo I don't usually keep the thicker plastic folders some records come in, but I do keep them in shrink wrap wherever possible. Not because of rarity or value as I don't have any particularly valuable records or ever plan to sell my collection anyway. It's just a simple case of OCD for me
Edit: and after typing that out and thinking about it I don't even know what I'm expecting from the shrink wrap so it's probably just more habit than anything!
-
@endo yes, it avoids ring wear and damage to the covers. They’ve all been cleaned too.
It does take up more space than having them in the cardboard sleeves though.
-
@endo - no, but i store and handle them very carefully. i have vinyls i bought 35 years ago that are still immaculate, even without plastic cover. there are couple of japanese editions i have that came with a bit firmer plastic that doesnt bunch or tear easily, those i kept.
