Salutations™!!
This week’s edition is the Record Store Day-Black Friday (RSD) edition. But, it’s also the Small Business Saturday edition. Yes, The BCPF and I went to Underdog Records both days. The haul was less in terms of quantity but more in cost because it was new stuff that we were purchasing. There was one new release that hasn’t found its way onto Discogs, yet, so I’ll put it on here when it becomes available. I have three others that I have to put in myself and I’m hoping that I don’t have to do that with this one. Enough about that, let’s get on with it.
- The Minus 5 – Dear December (a supergroup side project of several indie musicians, including Peter Buck of REM; RSD special; white vinyl; new)
- Morrissey – Low In High School (first new Morrissey since 2014; clear green vinyl; new)
- Isaac Hayes – The Spirit Of Memphis (2xLP; RSD; new)
- The Autumn Defense – Circles (RSD; new)
- Twisted Sister – A Twisted Christmas (clear green vinyl; RSD edition; new)
- The Sundays – Static & Silence (RSD; clear vinyl; new)
- Neil Young – Harvest Moon (RSD; first time on vinyl; 2xLP only 3 sides; etched fourth side; new)
- Les Baxter And His Orchestra – Les Baxter’s Jungle Jazz (reissue from 1959; great lounge music; new)
- Franz Schubert, Maria Stader, Marga Hoeffgen, Ernst Haefliger, Hermann Uhde, Regensburger Domchor – Messe Nr. 5 As-Dur D. 678 (VG+)
- Wilson Pickett – The Best Of Wilson Pickett ($1 bin find; VG+)
- Various – Festival Of Light Classical Music (12xLP; VG condition; $1 bin find)
- Stevie Wonder – Journey Through The Secret Life Of Plants ($1 bin find; G+)
- Joan Baez – David’s Album ($1 bin find; VG)
- Bob Dylan – Biograph (5xLP; VG++)
- Kiss – Double Platinum (birthday gift from my buddy Clay; VG+)
There were some really good things in there. We listened to a lot of things and, even the Stevie Wonder album was decent. Jonathan had warned us that it was awful. It wasn’t awful. Wasn’t great, either. But, we really enjoyed our listening time. We love Underdog Records. And, we love Discogs, too. It’s so easy to keep up with what we have that way.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

“Spent the day in bed. Very happy I did, yes. I spent the day in bed as the workers stay enslaved. I spent the day in bed. I’m not my type, but I love my bed, and I recommend that you Stop watching the news! Because the news contrives to frighten you. To make you feel small and alone. To make you feel that your mind isn’t your own.” – “Spent the Day in Bed” (Manzur, Morrissey)
