Salutations™!!

It was one of our favorite hauls, yet. Underdog Records just had it going on, yesterday. The BCPF and I picked some classic stuff up, for sure. We really didn’t get to listen to a lot of different stuff because we were listening to two albums that were 3 LPs, big. I’ll explain as we go on. Here we go:

• Kiss – Dynasty (Paul and Peter’s solo albums are on back order so I decided to move forward in the discography whilst waiting. So much I could write about this album. It would take a whole blog post, new)
• Nick Drake – Pink Moon (One of The BCPF’s favorite albums ever, it was there, we couldn’t not do it, new)
• Radiohead – OK Computer OKNOTOK 1997 2017 (3 LP, 20th Anniversary Edition, opaque blue vinyl with bonus tracks, new)
• Simon & Garfunkel, Dave Grusin – The Graduate (Original Sound Track Recording)
• Judy Garland – Annie Get Your Gun
• Max Steiner – Gone With The Wind (Original Sound Track Album) (Ma Mère’s favorite film of all time)
• The Rolling Stones – Aftermath UK (Near mint condition reissue, the previous owner was Audiophile who purchased the Mono Box Set of Stones and sold these off)
• The Rolling Stones – Their Satanic Majesties Request (ditto)
• Richard Marx – Richard Marx (yes, don’t judge)
• Joan Baez – The First 10 Years
• Paul Simon – Paul Simon
• Talking Heads – Little Creatures
• Mr. Mister – Welcome To The Real World
• Carole King – Music
• Stevie Nicks – The Wild Heart
• Varel And Bailly – From France with Music (The BCPF and I are obsessed with just about any and everything French, especially music. We listen to this with huge smiles on our faces)
• Otis Redding – The Best Of Otis Redding
• Johnny Cash – This Is Johnny Cash
• The Psychedelic Furs – Mirror Moves
• Elton John – Friends (Adding to our Elton John collection)
• Terence Trent D’Arby – Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D’Arby
• John Raitt – Carousel Chorus And Orchestra – Carousel (Original 1949 pressing of Original “New York” Cast in excellent shape, seems to be the heaviest 33 1/3 I’ve ever felt. Even heavier than 180g)
• Carol Channing, Yvonne Adair – Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (Original Broadway Cast)
• Joni Mitchell – The Hissing Of Summer Lawns (Latest in our Joni Mitchell acquisitions) 

So you can see, we picked up some great stuff. We were excited. Get over to Underdog Records between Tuesday and Saturday and grab records, accessories and just good music conversations. Listen to The Less Desirables episodes every week to hear what the current Underdog/TLD deals are. And, if you’re not using Discogs to archive and catalog your collection, then you’re truly missing out.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

“Fitter, happier. More productive. Comfortable. Not drinking too much. Regular exercise at the gym, three days a week. Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries. At ease. Eating well, no more microwave dinners and saturated fats. A patient, better driver. A safer car, baby smiling in back seat. Sleeping well, no bad dreams. No paranoia. Careful to all animals, never washing spiders down the plughole. Keep in contact with old friends, enjoy a drink now and then. Will frequently check credit at moral bank, hole in wall. Favours for favours, fond but not in love. Charity standing orders on Sundays, ring-road supermarket. No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants. Car wash, also on Sundays. No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows, nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate. Nothing so childish. At a better pace, slower and more calculated. No chance of escape. Now self-employed. Concerned, but powerless. An empowered and informed member of society, pragmatism not idealism. Will not cry in public. Less chance of illness. Tires that grip in the wet, shot of baby strapped in backseat. A good memory. Still cries at a good film. Still kisses with saliva. No longer empty and frantic. Like a cat. Tied to a stick. That’s driven into frozen winter shit, the ability to laugh at weakness. Calm, fitter, healthier and more productive. A pig in a cage on antibiotics.” – Fitter Happier (Yorke, Greenwood, O’Brien, Greenwood, Selway)
