Salutations™!!

The BCPF and I stopped by Underdog Records first thing before we met with Paul Jones for lunch at West End Cafe. That was all we did until I had to be in Kernersville to come out of retirement and play with my pals in Threadbare Trio. Here’s the haul:

Lord Huron – Strange Trails — I had never heard of this band, but The BCPF listens to Pandora all day long and this shows up on the channels she listens to. This is their album from 2015. It sounds kind of indie country-like to me. New.

Janet Jackson – Rhythm Nation 1814 — Ranked #277 on the RS list that matters, #338 on the one that doesn’t. For this album, Janet  drew inspiration from various tragedies reported through news media, exploring racism, poverty, and substance abuse, in addition to themes of romance. Can you imagine if she released this album today? A lot to draw on on all of those things. New.

The Velvet Underground – The Velvet Underground — I hate this band. I know I’ve said that 99,999 times of more. But, for good measure, I hate this band. It is #316 on the RS list that matters which I think is ridiculous. That’s way too high. If it is supposed to be in the Top 500, at all, it should sit at #500. Inexplicably, it’s ranked the absolutely ludicrous rank of #143 on the list that doesn’t matter. Another reason that version of the list is just stupid. But, the wife wanted it and it is on the list so I have to have it. EX.

Kiss – Crazy Nights — Yes, I already had this but I had it in VG+ condition. This is an original pressing with original inner sleeve and is in EX condition.

Aerosmith – Permanent Vacation — I hate Aerosmith. I have mentioned that ad naseum. However, I do really enjoy, almost to the point of “love” both this album and its follow-up, Pump. “Dude (Looks Like a Lady),” “Rag Doll,” and “Angel.” Great tunes. VG+.

Various – Walt Disney’s Merriest Songs — “Chim Chim Cheree,” “Whistle While You Work,” “I Wan’na Be Like You” and others. From 1968. VG+.

Wang Chung – Points On The Curve — In a rare snafu on Discogs part, I typed in Wang Chung to see if I had this album and other albums showed up. So, I bought this. It turns out we did have it already. But, this is a club pressing and the other is a different pressing. It’s in EX condition, so I’m keeping both copies.

Underdog Records will be closed this week because Jonathan is going on vacation. FINALLY!! You can still order things from the website. I use Discogs to keep track of my collection (and most of the time it works perfectly). You should use it, too.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

The BCPF and I both got our do’s did yesterday and we both feel much better. Lunch and records, then dinner with friends. It was a good Saturday! Here’s the haul!

©Varèse Sarabande

Of Monsters And Men – My Head Is An Animal — An Icelandic band that The BCPF digs. This is their debut album from 2011. 2×Vinyl Limited Edition, Reissue, Pink Splatter on White. New.

My Morning Jacket – Evil Urges — Another band that The BCPF likes. We actually saw them in Greensboro sometime after we started dating in the old War Memorial Auditorium. 2 x Vinyl, 12″, 45 RPM, Album, Repress, Cream with Black Blob. New.

Depeche Mode – Catching Up With Depeche Mode — Vinyl, LP, Compilation, Reissue. VG+.

Colin Hay – Going Somewhere — A reissue from the former frontman of Men At Work. We saw Colin in Charlotte on The BCPF’s 35th or 36th birthday. Limited edition of 1000 on white vinyl. New.

Angelo Badalamenti – Blue Velvet (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) — I have only seen the film once and I don’t remember liking it. But it’s Angelo Badalamenti doing the score and such. He also did the Twin Peaks theme. NM.

Estrangers – Gilded Palms — local band with an acquaintance of mine, Philip Pledger is the lead guy. He has been on The Less Desirables before. NM.

Estrangers – Season of 1000 Colors — same as above. NM. (Not in Discogs)

Fine Young Cannibals – The Raw & The Cooked — The album with “Good Thing” and “She Drives Me Crazy.” VG+.

Underdog Records is still on mask wearing and will be for the foreseeable future. It’s air conditioned in there so don’t complain you’ll get to hot or that it’s uncomfortable and all that jazz. None of us like it and if everyone would have done their parts we wouldn’t be in this mess. But, he’s been getting a lot of stuff in, from equipment to freshly used and brand new albums (including reissues). Check out their Instagram and Facebook for “breaking news” from Underdog about what Jonathan has just gotten in. You can order new vinyl 24/7 by visiting the Underdog Records website. I use Discogs for my collection and you should, too.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Yesterday was a day that I absolutely was in need of. The BCPF and I had a “board meeting” which is where we catch up from the week (or more) of seeing each other for about a total of 5 hours. Then, we went to Underdog Records and got some “candy.” We had brunch at Mozelle’s. We went to a local boutique and then to a local coffee shop for her to get some whole beans. Here’s the candy part:

©Rolling Stones Records

Prince – Welcome 2 America — Gatefold Sleeve with foil-embossed title. This release is black vinyl. Hype Sticker On Shrink: Previously unreleased album from Prince’s legendary vault, featuring 12 studio recordings on 2LPs with etched 4th side. (Love Symbol). Special Welcome 2 America Vinyl Etching on Side D of Double LP (featuring Prince image as in the gatefold): “Welcome 2 America, Welcome 2 The Big Show”, “Everybody’s Lookin’ 4 Something When There Ain’t No Place 2 Go”, “Trans4mation Happens Xcept Inside America That’s The Only Place 👁 [Eye Symbol] Know”, “Deep Within: Yes or No?” New.

Electronic – Electronic — Johnny Marr from The Smiths and Bernard Sumner of Joy Division/New Order from 1991. Reissue, Remastered, Repress. Of course, this was something The BCPF wanted and well, who can tell her no? Not me! New!.

The Rolling Stones – Black And Blue — Jonathan had gotten a few used Rolling Stone albums in and they were in fantastic shape. I had these three but all of them in my collection were anywhere from G to VG. These are all in EX shape. I will forego the any descriptions.

The Rolling Stones – Emotional Rescue

Rolling Stones – Tattoo You

It was a great day. Just so you know, Jonathan is requiring masks to enter the store for right now, no matter your vax status. You can be an arse and complain and boycott and all that stuff, or you can do what is right for him and respect his wishes. Your freedom isn’t infringed upon if you don’t want to wear your mask. You are absolutely free to not go and he’s free to require them. None of us want to wear them, but we are wanting to do what we need to. Use Discogs, too.

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!

First, let me say, it’s the 52nd anniversary of the start of Woodstock today (you’d have known that if you listened to today’s episode of Beeswax Vinyl Daily). Second let me say that we listened to no records yesterday as we had a food and beverage event and a work event for The BCPF. We did buy a mini stack of records, though. Here’s the haul:

©Mute

Sting – My Songs — This is the second studio album to feature new renditions of previously released material (after 2010’s Symphonicities). It involves both solo and Police stuff. I think I may have listened to this on streaming a while back. It is sealed for now, but we’ll crack that bad boy open in a little bit. New.

Depeche Mode – Angels And Black Swarms — This is on the back cover: “Black Swarm” was the alias which Reprise and Mute Records used for Depeche Mode, on the pre-released promo copies of “Playing The Angel” and “Precious” single, in order to avoid the album leaking out before its release date. Each copy has an individual number and the name of the person it was sent to, printed on it. I am not quite sure what any of that means. I see nothing on this cover, so it must be referring to the original copies. Grey marbled cover. It is an unofficial import and is “new.”

Kiss – Black Diamond (Lafayette Music Room, Memphis, TN. April 18th, 1974 – FM Broadcast) — Pretty much as the title says. It’s an unofficial import but these usually turn out okay. New.

The XX – XX — One of the many, many upsides to doing the Beeswax Vinyl Daily and having Underdog Records as a sponsor, is finding things that I didn’t know that I liked. This celebrated an anniversary this past week and I liked what little I heard. New (and the name should be The xx and the album is xx, but Discogs doesn’t like when every first letter isn’t capitalized).

Depeche Mode – Some Great Reward — The fourth DMode album. This has Master and Servant, Blasphemous Rumors and People Are People on it. I love all of those songs and most everything that DMode does. VG+.

Fleetwood Mac – Never Break The Chain — The legendary broadcast, apparently from The Forum, Inglewood, California 21st october 1982. Limited edition on blue vinyl. VG/VG+. There is a scratch one a side but according to the sales label from Jonathan, he doesn’t hear it affecting the sound.

Billie Holiday – Lady Sings The Blues — This is a Brazilian import of this album. The track listing features no song that is on the American release of the same name. It doesn’t even have the title track on this version. The BCPF wanted it and well, you know how that goes, right? VG+.

Various – Jesus Christ Superstar — Yes, I already have this, but this is the 1980 reissue (the original happened just a month before I was born in 1970). Better yet, this is still sealed, so it will be NM/New. I love this rock opera/musical and can’t get enough of it. So, I’ll keep my older copy, too, but I want the vinyl as clean as possible. New.

I was glad we got to stop in and see Jonathan and buy some groovy vinyl before our day of booze, brews and chews. The store is back to people wearing a mask for the time being, so be aware of that. He had a lot of new stuff in the “Freshly Used” section, too. You can shop the brand new stuff (including reissues and such) by visiting the website. I use Discogs to track my collection and to do this blog. You should, too!

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!

The BCPF and I did a lot of running around yesterday. We had grocery shopping to do for the last day of our “French” cooking trip, getting proper cooking and storage vessels for said cooking trip, getting lunch, all of that. But, of course, we got our Underdog Records fix in. Here’s the haul:

Joni Mitchell – Early Joni – 1963 — The First known Recording of Joni Mitchell. Previously Unreleased. 19-Year-old Mitchell at CFQC AM in Saskatoon, 1963. She sounds very young here. Because she was. Again, she was 19. Sealed, NM.

The Beatles – The Beatles And Esher Demos — 50th anniversary 4×LP edition comes in a lift-top box which comprises of: ‘The Beatles’ album newly remastered (half speed mastering) by Giles Martin sourced directly from the original four-track and eight-track session tapes. The album comes in a gatefold sleeve with reproduction of original artwork with embossed “The Beatles” logo and four portrait prints of John, Paul, George and Ringo. ‘Esher Demos’ in gatefold sleeve with embossed “The Beatles” logo and ‘Esher Demos’ printed on lower left. A 12″×24″ four-page booklet with articles by Paul McCartney, Giles Martin & Kevin Howlett. A 24″×36″ fold-out poster with photos of the band members on the front and song lyrics on the back. This was still sealed and would sell for about $80-90 new retail. This is technically new and never opened. NM.

Hiss Golden Messenger – Lateness Of Dancers — Recorded by Scott Hirsch at Down Yonder Farms, Hillsborough (through the generosity of Peter Kramer and Susan Gladin) and Sound Pure, Durham, North Carolina. Additional recordings by Brian Haran and The Pinebox in Graham, NC and Chris Boerner on Murray Avenue, Durham, NC. That’s from Discogs. What I know about this album — all I need to know about this album — it’s on Merge Records. The BCPF loves just about everything on that label. They’re based in Durham, so… New.

Underdog Records was sort of under a weird Pluto in Retrograde kind of cloud this week. A car hit the side of the building at full speed, another hit a pole below the store, and yet another hit a pole above the store. But, it was a good day in the store. He’s got new stuff out, great used stuff out, and equipment! Visit the website to shop new vinyl, 24/7/365. Follow Underdog Records on Instagram and Facebook to see what new goodies Jonathan just acquired and is offering to you for purchase! Use Discogs to track your collection and share the collection with your friends. See what they have in their record collections, too.

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!

The BCPF’s and my day yesterday was a bit weird. We had breakfast and Underdog Records but we had to go to an event for her work in Greensboro yesterday afternoon. It wasn’t a normal Saturday, but we were together, so there’s that. Here’s the haul:

©Temporary Residence Limited

Björk – Post — #376 on the RS list that matters and #289 on the one that doesn’t. I remember listening to it, but don’t remember a lot about it. I went back and read my review of it and it really kicked my behind. I dug it, even included it in a summation on what I did or didn’t like or what what stood out to me. New.

Rolling Stones – Beggars Banquet — #58 on the RS list that matters, #185 on the one that doesn’t. I couldn’t believe I didn’t have this already. Anniversary Edition. Packaged in slip cover with gatefold LP sleeve containing the LP and 12″ 45 rpm disc, a bonus picture sleeve with a flexi disc plus a download card for mp3s of the album and bonus content. Flip side of the 45 rpm disc is embossed with an image of the gatefold front cover. While it is classified as used, it’s still sealed (until I open it), so I’m going to say “New” instead.

The Magnetic Fields – The Charm Of The Highway Strip — The third studio album by American indie pop band The Magnetic Fields, released in 1994. It is the first Magnetic Fields album to have its original release with record label Merge (based in Durham, NC). We listened to it yesterday. The BCPF loves this band. I am mostly indifferent. The “mostly” leans toward not liking them. But, I don’t dislike them. New.

Explosions In The Sky – Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever — I know nothing of this band and I haven’t heard it yet. This is from the bastion of truth, accuracy and veracity – Wikipedia: The band garnered a small amount of media attention as the liner notes of this album contained a picture of an airplane and the text “This Plane Will Crash Tomorrow”. A rumor circulated that the album was released on September 10, 2001, the day before the September 11, 2001 attacks, but this is not true. According to Amazon.com, the album was officially released September 4, 2001, exactly one week before the attacks. An interview with Stylus claims the album was available as early as August 24, 2001. Members of the band told Stylus that they had the artwork and idea for the liner notes for over a year before the attacks on the World Trade Center. Has a 20th anniversary Temporary Residence sticker on the cover. Colored labels. New.

Various – Russian Souvenir – Russian Songs And Dances / Русский Сувенир – Русские Песни И Пляски — Just an addition to our World Music collection. EX.

Jonathan has some used stuff to go through in the store which means it’s a good possibility of having a lot of “freshly used” stuff for purchase. You can buy new vinyl, day or night, 24/7, 365 by visiting the Underdog Records website. I use Discogs to track my collection and you should, too!

And lastly, don’t forget to listen to the Beeswax Vinyl Daily podcast. Yeah, I know I reminded you earlier this week but it’s a “Daily” podcast afterall. Subscribe and get it when it comes out!

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!

The BCPF and I did some shopping and, of course, records yesterday. The haul was short, though. Here it is:

©Yep Roc Records

King’s X – Tape Head — This is from 1998. It was one of the RSD rereleases and it’s Limited Edition, Numbered, PINK vinyl. There were only 2500 of these printed. This one that I have is #102 out 2500. That’s low! Record Store Day 2021 Release, Limited to 2500. RSD Sticker on Front says “First Time on Vinyl! Exclusive Numbered Edition on PINK WAX” Thanks to Bob S for getting this for me after camping all night. New.

King’s X – Manic Moonlight — This was from September 2001. Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Remastered, Orange Neon vinyl. This was #1366 out of 2500. Not as low. Hype sticker: “FIRST TTIME ON VINYL! Exclusive numbered edition on NEON ORANGE WAX” New. Thanks again to Bob S.

Gregory Alan Isakov – Evening Machines — This is someone that The BCPF hears on her Pandora channel all the time. She decided she liked it and wanted it. Okay. New.

Grant Lee Phillips – Widdershins — Grant Lee Phillips played the Troubadour on the television show, The Gilmore Girls, of which The BCPF and I are big fans. This is a great album. He sounds a little like Jakob Dylan. It’s good stuff. New.

Watch Underdog Records’ social media and see what Jonathan has just gotten in and is putting up for sale. You can buy new records 24/7 by visiting the Underdog Records website. I use Discogs to track my collection and you should, too!

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…

This week’s haul is a short one, just like last week’s. Yesterday was Record Store Day and I didn’t really want much. I had a friend who was #1 in line and got me two King’s X records that I’ll put in next week, when I get to them. I don’t have them in hand, yet. Here’s the haul:

©Moon

Rush – Rush — An EX condition “ORIGINAL PRESSING” copy of the debut Rush album. The cover is a little worn but the vinyl is immaculate. The only Rush album that didn’t have Neil Peart on drums and it’s still an excellent album. Can you imagine the joy for Mercury when they realized they signed Rush based on the strength of this album and as a bonus you have one of the most prominent, talented and well-known drummers in prog music history, heck just music history? Win win for them.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Déjà Vu ♦ Alternates — I guess we got out of the Fleetwood Mac “alternates” and have moved into CSNY for the Record Store Day exclusives. You get a lot of “demos,” “early versions,” “alternate mixes,” andmore on these. I really enjoyed the Fleetwood Mac ones and this was pretty cool, too. New.

Underdog Records will be going back to normal now, I think. RSD always push Jonathan to his limits but I think the one in June and this one came out well for him. That’s cool. What RSD stuff he didn’t sell yesterday will be on the website probably today and you can get what you want along with any other new vinyl he has by visiting the website. I use Discogs to make sure I don’t already have something in my collection when I’m buying. I also use it to just keep up with what I have and use the handy randomize feature. You should use it, too.

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!

Yesterday, The BCPF and I went and did a couple of errands and then went to Underdog Records. Even after sustaining a swollen appendage because of yellowjackets, Jonathan was all smiles and joking around. We had a good time. We didn’t spend a lot of money, though. Every once in a while I’ll have a shopping day when nothing moves me. I didn’t really find anything I wanted, but The BCPF got these two titles…

Calexico – Hot Rail — From 2000. We have established The BCPF’s fandom of Calexico. Here you go. New.

Buffalo Springfield – Buffalo Springfield Again — Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Mono, 180 Gram. Limited edition of 5000 copies, per Rhino website article. #188 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time,[9] maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list (that’s the one that matters). It fell off the list that doesn’t matter. We got it used, even though it was still sealed, so new.

Record Store Day is coming this Saturday. Visit the official RSD website for more info. Watch Underdog Records’ Instagram and Facebook for posts about Jonathan’s latest acquisitions and what you can pick up. You can order new records, day or night, 24/7 by visiting the Underdog Records website. And use Discogs to track your collection. That’s one reason my list was so short today. I found some things and then realized upon looking them up, I already had those.

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…

Salutations™!!

I hope you all recovered from the holiday nicely. The BCPF and I went back to Underdog Records after a week off. We got good stuff. We enjoyed our day. ‘Nuff said! Here’s the haul:

©Eagle Rocks Entertainment

Kiss – Off The Soundboard Tokyo 2001 — Supposedly, this is truly “off the soundboard” but there are parts that make me question that. It’s too good and slick. There’s no way a KISS show is going to be that good and slick. They’re sloppy. It was 20 years ago, so Paul’s voice was still hanging on pretty well. But, also, Paul is in his “old Jewish woman” mode here and that didn’t start happening until just about 8-10 years ago. So, I question whether it really is live. But, it’s a good listen nonetheless. 3×LP, Special Edition, Triple vinyl album with cardboard sleeve housing each vinyl in its own sleeve with tracklisting. New.

The Mountain Goats – Dark In Here — The BCPF loves The Mountain Goats and this was his newest album. I like him, okay, but he’s kind of a one-trick pony. He sings most of the songs the exact same way with the same cadences, rhythms, and notes, it seems. I dunno. 1 1/2 sides. Side 4 is etched, Blue. “High Noon Somewhere Blue” vinyl. Side 4 has an etching of the Kola Superdeep Borehole Tower. Gatefold jacket with full lyrics. Includes digital download card. New.

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers – Angel Dream (Songs And Music From The Motion Picture “She’s The One”) — 25th anniversary reimagined release of She’s The One. 12 tracks – all remixed & remastered. 4 unreleased songs including “105 Degrees,” “One Of Life’s Little Mysteries” and the cover of “Thirteen Days.” New.

Fleet Foxes – Shore — Shore was recorded before and during quarantine in Hudson (NY), Paris, Los Angeles, Long Island City and New York City from September 2019 until September 2020. As with Mountain Goats, side 4 is etched, Stereo, Black Vinyl.

Lambchop – Showtunes — It seems to be a The BCPF-heavy haul. That’s okay. My KISS album was almost $60. Lambchop was one of the first bands that I remember her putting songs from on a Mix Tape (CD). Merge “Peak Vinyl” Edition New.

The Triffids – Treeless Plain — I have no idea what this is. She picked it up. VG+.

Henry Mancini – Music From The Trail Of The Pink Panther And Other Pink Panther Films — I love Henry Mancini and just recently watched the first Pink Panther film from the 1960s so it’s a win-win for me. Still sealed (for now), so new.

Pete Townshend – White City (A Novel) — Townshend’s fourth solo studio album. It peaked at #70. That’s all I know. VG+.

Jonathan had a fairly large crowd when we left Underdog Records. It was good to see that, especially with a big festival happening downtown. Watch the Instagram of Underdog to see what Jonathan has gotten in and putting out for purchase. You can shop new records, day or night, by visiting the Underdog Records website. RSD #2 is coming in two weeks! See the available list here. I use Discogs to keep track of my collection and The BCPF was just remarking this morning how it has saved us more than once from getting an unintentional duplicate. Or, it has allowed us to see that the copy of something we have is shite and this better version needs to be put in our collection. You should use it for that, too.

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!
