Après holiday, c'est avant holiday.

@GraemeE Nosfreatu is in my top three of Popol Vuh. Right behind Affenstunde (set aside for a rehearing now).

And then there is this box set N.2 I’ve never heard through (beside of Seligpreisung).

@Aetas your fellow countrymen were on fire in the 70s

@GraemeE This reminds me of @endo carrying exactly this record through Bremen…

Guess who misses lying on a beach.

@GraemeE I’ve got that, but with an entirely different cover.

[GraemeE]

@NickD i think mine is a '74 US press

Bought it for the Earl hooker guitar but the big moose vocals/piano and the raunchy Otis hale sax are great bonuses. Fun fact, they found otis hale playing in a park and invited him up to the studio to record the LP on the spot.

@NickD
GraemE’s version of the cover is the original from 1974.
In 1975 the Autobahn symbol appeared for the first time.
In white on a French rerelease and in blue on an Italian for example.
The full blue Autobahn cover coexisted from there on with the original.
Only nerd stuff, because tracks and music kept the same ;-).

@Aetas said in Wax Treasure (Vinyl):

Only nerd stuff

"Only"?!?

Nerd stuff is worth its weight in gold around here

[endo]

We're all nerds here.

[GraemeE]

Guilty as charged

@GraemeE oh no! they are showing for me. still no good?? sparkler is a shoegaze band from san diego that came as recommendation for fans of swervedriver (who is easily in my top 3 all time bands) in the shoegaze subreddit.

[GraemeE]

@indigo_nico I just listened to the link Dirk posted.

Great stuff

Picking up on some stellar MBV vibes

[indigo_nico]

@GraemeE big mbv vibes for sure!

Starting to wonder if ring wear might be the roping of vinyl. I love a good near mint as much as anyone, but the ring does add a nice character.
