THE ROLLING STONES Let It Bleed 1969 Canada pressing [early red labels] With certain bands, I’m more than ok with never hearing them in my life ever again. I have been clobbered over the head with bands like The Stones, Beatles, The Who, and Led Zeppelin over and over again, and I just don’t care to hear those band’s records any more. There are a few exceptions to this sentiment, and Let It Bleed is certainly one of them. It is hands down my favorite Stones record, and I will ALWAYS be down to listen to it. It is the only record of theirs that I just never got burnt out on, and I will continue to listen to it until I’m dead. One of the greatest album openers of all time, and you can say the same about the CLOSING track as well. Combined with “You Got The Silver” (maybe my favorite Stones song ever) and “Midnight Rambler”, it’s my forever Stones album. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #1960s #60s

PINK FLOYD Relics 1981 Canada reissue Having a lovely Saturday afternoon with The Floyd. This is probably the Pink Floyd recording that I’ve listened to the most in my life, and by that measurement, I guess you could call it my favorite Floyd record period, which I’d be ok with. Meant to whet people’s appetites between Atom Heart Mother and Meddle, it’s got all the killer early singles on it, b-sides, soundtrack recordings from More, and the previously unreleased ‘69 track “Biding My Time”. It’s the most satisfying front-to-back Floyd record there is, and as much as I love from DSOTM on, there’s nothing that holds a candle to the earlier stuff. Lastly, I’m not a huge fan of “alternate covers” of things, but in THIS particular case, this has always been my favorite of this album’s numerous variants. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #pinkfloyd #psychedelic #relics #1960s #60smusic #60s #artrock

Neu angekommen. Earthside - Let the Truth speak Transparent rotes Vinyl. Sieht echt edel aus auf dem Plattenteller. Und das Album ist echt ein feines Stück Progressiver Musik. #earthside #vinyl #music #VinylRecords

ED O’BRIEN Blue Morpho 2026 Europe pressing Without a doubt one of my favorite records of 2026. This is ASTONISHINGLY good. To be honest, I was not impressed with Ed’s EARTH album. It just sounded like him trying to figure out what he could do outside of the cozy confines of Radiohead, away from Thom and Jonny. It was a little too conventional & clumsy sounding for me. With Blue Morpho, it seems that he discovered that he didn’t have to put his broken self back together in exactly the same shape. THIS record embraces atmosphere and nature. It’s breezy, psychedelic and ambient sounding, with cool electronic and Kraut rock flourishes. It’s a BEAUTIFUL record, and something I wasn’t expecting at all. Ed is on record talking about how hard things were for him since Covid. Through this great record, it sounds like depression has turned into graciousness and gratitude. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music

THE SHARP PINS Radio DDR 2025 U.S. pressing More perfect #lofi #janglepop from Sharp Pins! I posted the equally excellent Turtle Rock last week, and I’ve been giving repeated listens to this one as well. I guess this was originally released as a home tape in April of ‘24, and this vinyl version is expanded to 14 songs, straddling that awesome line of do-it-yourself Guided By Voices, Big Star, some Beatles, as well as some of the clsssic sounding British Invasion bands, too. I’ve taken quite a shine to Kai Slater’s songwriting, and I love these records. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #indie #alternative #artrock #Chicago #sharppins

THE ID The Inner Sounds Of The Id 2023 U.S. 2xLP MONO reissue Blue And Purple Vinyl Last spin of the night goes to one of the most satisfying reissues of all time for me. Such a killer (and criminally underrated) #psychedelic rock record, & Sundazed really outdid themselves here. An EXCELLENT sounding mono reissue from the original analog master by Kevin Gray, but where this separates itself is the bonus record. A completely different version of the album was found when they rediscovered the tapes. THOSE are alternate instrumental versions of the record (which are mixed in stereo here), and they really show how these great tunes were constructed. Bass player Glenn Cass’s playing is much more up front on the instrumentals, and he only heard them for the first time during the reissue’s prep. This is just a killer record, & maybe it’s definitive version. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #1960s #60s

PROTOMARTYR Hotel Usona 2026 Europe Ltd. Edition pressing Gold vinyl Just picked this up today, and I’m about to throw it on. I’m super excited for this. I’ve been all-in on Protomartyr since their first record Under Color Of Official Right, and each time out, they have offered something a little different than before, always engaging, always interesting. They’re a band I’ve always appreciated, and will always support when they put out something new. They are fully themselves, and just do what they do. Just a great band. Nice packaging here, too. A very cool double-sided poster, their customary “Your Lucky Numbers” zine that comes with every new album, and a rad bumper sticker. Stay tuned… #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #indie #alternative #punk #postpunk #protomartyr #artrock

NEIL YOUNG Le Noise 2010 U.S. pressing Have been thinking about listening to this all day while out and about town taking care of some things. Hands down, one of my three favorite Neil Young albums. There’s a magic about Le Noise. Daniel Lanois’ production approach to this is nothing short of remarkable. This is nothing but Neil singing and playing electric guitar, and by using distortion, echo, delays, feedback and other processing, Lanois transforms the performances into something otherworldly. Neil’s guitar sounds so massive, and with all the sonics going on around it, it makes for a wonderfully noisy (and riffy) album indeed. For me, it’s essential listening in Neil’s catalog, regardless of era. When I took this out to play it, I forgot about the DVD inside that came with it. These are going for stupid $ right now. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #neilyoung #lenoise #daniellanois

…OF DEATH ...Discography 2022 U.S. 2xLP Compilation ETCHED Red/Yellow + Red/Black Blob vinyl O.K… Last spin of the night won’t be for everyone, but this shit is RIGHT up my alley. TOTALLY unhinged #hardcore #noise #punk whose sense of timing, rhythm, & madness I fully identify with. This is the complete recorded output of the Fort Worth, Texas band; roughly one hour long, blasting through 30 songs of complete screamo violence. It is wildly frantic, super-abrasive, and intensely chaotic. There is no singing. Just indecipherable high-pitched screaming amongst grating feedback and thick bass. The first listen, I said “this is awful”. The second, I said “Jesus, what the fuck?” Third… “I kinda dig this…” To finally surrendering with “This is fucking awesome.” 😂 Super-awesome etching on Side D, too, which may be the most calm and measured thing about this. 😂 #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music

THE BOO RADLEYS Everything's Alright Forever 2026 Europe reissue Today was the first day of fall, and I was beyond thrilled to see this downtown today. This album is synonymous with Autumn for me, and has been since the first time I heard it in the Fall of ‘92, when I dubbed it from my sister’s boyfriend’s tape collection. So it was kinda fate that I finally found it on vinyl today, to help usher in my favorite season. This was in my ears a lot at the beginning of each year of high school. I had detention A LOT, and had a very long walk home from school after time served. I will always have a clear picture of walking up Oak St., this blasting in my ears, while the autumn New England leaves flew around. Wonderful, dreamy, #shoegaze -y noise pop from a GREAT band. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #dreampop #TheBooRadleys #indie #alternative #artrock

My favorite little moment with the Prusa CORE One L is changing print sheets. Swapping them feels a bit like changing vinyl records — putting one back in its sleeve and picking the next one. If Prusa sold the sheets in simple cardboard sleeves, like vinyl records used to come in, it would be such a nice little touch. And I probably would’ve bought a bunch more of them by now. #3dprinting #prusa #diy #vinyl #vinylrecords

THE EDSEL AUCTIONEER Voice Of The Harolds 1990 UK pressing Sweet-ass noisy Saturday jams. Kinda grunge-y, super loud indie rock from Leeds, and this is a mini-album that collects their first single, and E.P. material. Some Dino Jr., Husker Du, My Bloody Valentine and Pale Saints vibes, with great guitars. Super ragged and punchy sounding. John Peel heard their early demos and was so blown away by them that he brought them in Maida for a Peel session, which they recorded four songs for in 1988. I desperately need a copy of their 1992 album Simmer. So if anybody out there sees or comes across one… let’s make a deal. Yer friendly neighborhood Vinyl Ape will take care of you. But this is 100% worth checking out if you like any of the bands I compared them to, other genres where they sit. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #1990s #90s #90smusic #indie #alternative #shoegaze

PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION Parade 1986 Canada pressing Was in the mood for some Prince on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. A blind Prince pull produced Parade. A perfect example of a VERY good soundtrack to a REALLY awful movie. This (with the exception of maybe Singles) has to be the gold standard. Acting as the soundtrack to the repugnant film Under The Cherry Moon, this has a bevy of killer tunes on it, particularly the final three tracks. Even if you dislike everything that comes before (why would you?), the run of “Kiss”, “Anotherloverholenyohead”, and “Sometimes It Snows In April” alone make Parade worth owning. The movie though? Find a DVD copy, take a huge dump on it, then catapult it into the hot August sun. If you can prove to me you’ve watched it all, I’ll give you $400. (Checks will not be honored) 😂 #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #Prince #1980s #80s #80sMusic

SCREAMING TREES Even If And Especially When 2024 U.S. reissue Their second album overall, but their FIRST for SST Records. If all you know is the latter day Screaming Trees albums from the #90s (Sweet Oblivion, Dust), then hearing the SST material comes as quite a shock. This is a far more raw and PSYCHEDELIC brand of Trees. It’s rough, garage-y, a bit unrefined, and legendary frontman Mark Lanegan’s signature deep and weathered vocal is not there yet. It was THESE kinds of records that made them well-known heroes in the underground. The band went through their paces for years honing their craft, and when “Seattle/Grunge Mania” happened six years later, they already had FIVE records under their belt. This album’s opener “Transfiguration” is one of my all time favorite Trees tunes. It’s so gnarly and in your face. Siked to finally have this. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #1980s #80s #80sMusic

Great little haul of records today! A wonderful day of being out in the sun, and the first day I’ve truly felt myself after coming down with that nasty flu last few weeks. Super happy with ALL of these, especially the reissues of the early SST Screaming Trees stuff. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #indie #alternative #Psych #psychedelic #1980s #1960s #1990s #artrock

PHOTOGENIX Photogenix 1983 Canada 12” E.P. @ #45rpm First spin from the pile of today’s finds goes to the shortest one. A great little 4-song #newwave #postpunk -y from Montreal’s Photogenix. This appears to be the band’s only official release. A self-produced E.P. Apparently, at the time, Montreal’s pop scene was overrun with major-label economics. So this recording garnered some attention for being so independent and sounding SO good. Great little 4-pack of songs. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #1980s #80s #80sMusic #Montreal #canada #artrock #indie #alternative

🇬🇧 Peter Gabriel "Live at WOMAD 1982" – 2025 A fascinating document from the very first WOMAD festival. The performance reflects his growing interest in world music and cross-cultural collaboration. And then it's mostly a show off of his fourth album which is my favourite... 👍 #petergabriel #womad #worldmusic #livemusic #progressiverock #artrock #experimental #vinyl #music #vinylrecords #nowspinningonvinyl #nowspinning #nowlistening

RAY LYNCH Deep Breakfast 1984 U.S. pressing A perfect late night spin, and one of my three favorite #ambient / #newage records ever. I first heard this WAAAY back in the mid 90s. I was visiting my best friend’s house for the first time, and upon entering his house, I saw a giant pile of CDs on a side table. “These yours?”, I asked him. “Nah, man. Those are my Dad’s.” I noticed most of it. A lot of classic rock, some folk stuff, Simon and Garfunkel…etc. Then I saw THIS in there. I had never heard of Ray Lynch before, so I was intrigued. “Dude, what’s this about?” “I don’t know man. Let’s throw it on.” I was hooked from the very first track “Celestial Soda Pop”, which apparently, early #80s NPR used as a theme song for one of their shows back then. Just a beautiful album. Dan’s father never saw that cd again. 🤷 #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #vinylcollection #art #music #1980s #80sMusic #raylynch #deepbreakfast
