Salutations™!!

The haul from Underdog Records was pretty cool. We got good stuff and I got to converse with several people from our “#nowspinning” Facebook group and even met someone who was just added while we stood in the store. I love that group. I love the “family” and record support we have. Always something interesting and many times something we forgot about or didn’t know was available or we’re just dying to have. It’s just so much fun. Yeah, I’m a nerd and I don’t care. I also got to chat with my buddy Ed Bumgardner for a few minutes, as well. Always cool. Anywhat! Here’s the haul:

  • The Regrettes – Feel Your Feelings Fool! (let me say if you’re not listening to The Regrettes, you’re certainly missing the boat. This is fantastic stuff. Young modern punk with tongue-in-cheek play and snark. New)
  • The Districts – Popular Manipulations (indie rock goodness on orange vinyl, new)
  • U2 – The Joshua Tree (2xLP heavyweight vinyl, 30th Anniversary, new)

  • Shadowfax – Shadowdance
  • Culture Club – Kissing To Be Clever
  • Various – A GI’s Germany In Sound & Music! Volume 1 (weird spoken-word/music album that is all about Americans learning how Germany was in 1962)
  • Joan Baez – Farewell, Angelina
  • Handel – Royal Fireworks Music, Double Concerto In B Flat Major, Oboe Concerto In G Minor
  • Rod Stewart – Smiler
  • Adam Ant – Friend Or Foe

And there you have it. Underdog Records has all your vinyl (and the players to play them) needs covered. If you are a customer of Underdog or are into vinyl at all, look for the Facebook group and join us. It’s a fun community. We also use Discogs to catalog, and share our record collections.

Salutations™!!

This week’s haul spans several days as we visited Underdog Records on Tuesday upon our return from Raleigh, seeing Belle and Sebastian. So it’s extra long today. Let’s hit it!

  • Kiss, Peter Criss – Peter Criss (purchased off of Discogs because it’s on back order and rumor has it that the company isn’t pressing them anymore, new, sealed)
  • Kiss, Paul Stanley – Paul Stanley (used original pressing that I purchased off of Discogs for the same reason as above. I also have a picture disc that I’m looking to sell. It’s in VG++ condition, this is VG+. This is also missing the poster… argh!!)
  • The Velvet Underground & Nico – The Velvet Underground & Nico (I hate this album but it is classic and needs to be in a collection, new reissue)
  • Talking Heads – Speaking In Tongues (freshly used still in original sleeve bag with hype stickers)
  • Donovan – For Little Ones (part two of a two-record set, we got the first last week)
  • Squeeze – Frank
  • The Rolling Stones – Between The Buttons (early stereo pressing)
  • Squeeze – Sweets From A Stranger 
  • Peter, Paul And Mary* – In The Wind
  • The Doobie Brothers – Best Of The Doobies
  • Elton John – Blue Moves ($1 bin find – some liquid damage to the cover but it actually looked like it belonged there and the vinyl is in really good shape)
  • Ray Parker Jr. – Greatest Hits
  • Aretha Franklin – Aretha’s Gold
  • Nat King Cole – Ramblin’ Rose
  • Various – A Chorus Line – Original Cast Recording
  • David Bowie – Let’s Dance
  • Various – 41 Original Hits From The Sound Track Of American Graffiti
  • 101 Strings – 101 Strings Play Songs Of France (because we are both enamored with just about anything French)
  • Echo & The Bunnymen – Ocean Rain (new)
  • Kraftwerk – Trans Europe Express (reissue, new)
  • Sonic Youth – Goo (2xLP box set, which is pretty cool)
  • Buddy Holly – Reminiscing (sealed)
  • Windham Hill Artists – A Winter’s Solstice
  • Donovan – Donovan’s Greatest Hits
  • Harry Chapin – Verities & Balderdash (NM copy)
  • Tony Bennett – All Time Greatest Hits (2xLP VG++)
  • Frank Mills – Music Box Dancer
  • Chicago – Chicago At Carnegie Hall (Volumes I, II, III And IV) (Jonathan said he rarely, if ever, sees the full collection, just bits and pieces. This is the complete box set in VG++ condition with all posters and materials. Great find)
  • Aerosmith – Rocks (Meh, it was $1)
  • Hot Tuna – Burgers
  • Jackson Browne – Running On Empty
  • Steely Dan – The Royal Scam
  • Kingston Trio – The Kingston Trio
  • The Kingston Trio – String Along
  • Carpenters – Close To You
  • Streisand, Kristofferson – A Star Is Born
  • Henry Mancini – 10 – Original Motion Picture Sound Track
  • John Cougar Mellencamp – Uh-Huh
  • Simon & Garfunkel – Vol. 1: New Gold Disc (Weird import from the Philippines with faded, probably copied cover art, it sounds pretty good and has a decent track listing and was only $1)
  • Pink Floyd – Meddle
  • Glenn Miller And His Orchestra – Glenn Miller – A Memorial 1944-1969 (2xLP Mono pressing that was only $1 but is in really good shape. I’d say VG/VG+)

So, as you can see, that’s a pretty good haul. Some stuff we’re really excited to get, some we just needed for the collection and some “must haves.” It’s always fun to go in Underdog Records. We have a little community that we’ve formed being customers over there. I know Jonathan has a few quality turntables for sale in the store right now and some receivers and speakers, as well. If you’re looking to get into vinyl for the first time, or again, or just want/need to upgrade your setup, then you’ve choices over there. And, we all use Discogs to manage and archive our collection (and to provide you links for this blog).

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

I don’t know how I missed it but there was a whole other section of $1 records at Underdog Records. We found it yesterday. Oh did we. It was 33% off all $1 records, too, so that was a bonus. Here’s what we walked away with:R-603114-1156732637.jpeg

Whew! 40 albums. Actually, 41 because there’s one I have to put into Discogs because there is no record of it. Ha! No record of it… Funny stuff. Anywhat! Jonathan has a fantastic selection of old, new, future, all kinds of records. And, if you don’t use Discogs for your record (and even CD) archiving and cataloging, then you’re missing out.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
