Fresh Grabs

Gas - Pop: Been trying to keep up with the Gas reissues and mostly failing but was happy to find Pop in the Target sale. I've been pleasantly surprised by some of the titles they stock, a lot more than your regulation stuff if you take the time to dig.

Spiritual Jazz Vol. 11 - SteepleChase: Obsessed with this comp -- it's fantastic. Getting a lot of play time. May be my favorite of Jazzman's Spiritual Jazz series. Haven’t dug deep into SteepleChase's older catalog but that will change.

Jimi Hendrix - Rainbow Bridge OST; Hendrix - Band of Gypsys: Also from the Target sale. Been patiently waiting for the right prices to add these last two pieces to complete my essential Hendrix collection.

Fu Manchu ‎– In Search Of... (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition): Also have Fu30 Pt. 1 on preorder from Rough Trade, which @Thackeraye alerted me to. Looking forward to more 30th anniversary stuff. Bummer that the tour had to be postponed!

Roger Eno And Brian Eno ‎– Mixing Colours: Thrilled to have this on vinyl after listening digitally for the last few months. Even better to find it for $24. Thank you, Target!

I made an order an Acoustic Sounds order like 3 weeks ago and this was everything that shipped that was “in stock”! I’ve already got the 2LP Analogue Pressings of Pet Sounds, but that one was Mono! I want to listen to this masterpiece in stereo! 💎

Absolutely delighted! I’ve been loving all the Analogue Productions pressings from the VMP store and I am so excited to hear all of these and enjoy some marvellous music! 🕺

What does FNAC stand for out of interest?

Fédération Nationale d'Achats des Cadres (National Federation of Executive Purchases, true story). At first these were some of the best shops to buy photography or hi-fi material. People working there were all very knowledgeable and could give you good recommendation on what to buy (or not). Now, and it has been like this for more than a decade, people who work there are mostly students who will suggest you to buy this or that equipment because it's the most expensive (and, of course, if it's the most expensive it's certainly the best). I only purchase stuff from them during winter and summer sales or go to their shops when I don't have any other choice (there is a shop 5min from where I live).

Ah thanks @Skalap . Do you have a link to their online shop? (if they have one?)

Yeah, I was like 🤭 when I saw it! Then was like 😭 when I realised this vinyl edition is out of stock! Then was like 😩, thinking about having to email the company asking for a replacement/refund!

It looks like it's had the shit kicked out of it in transit, looks like a multi-level warp on the right hand side! Best of luck with the label, hope you get something sorted.

Is this the gold or green or transparent edition? I've got the gold on preorder too from jpc, not sure though if they still can get it. I hope they'll sort it out for you and you get a replacement. On discogs apparently a few people criticized Dirty Hit for bad packaging.

@gaporter - This is just a pic of the warp! When I spin it, it looks even worse! It’s literally the worst, like I dunno if it’s worth trying to get flattened! 😔

Yikes 😞 that's awful, I'm sorry, Nathan. If Dirty Hit can't help you with a replacement it looks as though you might still be able to get the gold from Rough Trade here

Rina Sawayama - Sawayama - LP

Sawayama is the debut album from Japanese pop auteur Rina Sawayama - an exploration of identity, family, gender and sexuality, set to a backdrop of future-facing, genre-splicing pop music. Sawayama is an exciting first step from an artist unafraid to push pop into new realms.

But hopefully they'll try to take care of you because that's in awful condition 😭
 
I've received two new records today. First is Black Pumas with their amazing same titled debut album. When I've first streamed it I loved it instantly. People who enjoy Durand Jones & The Indications should check this out too if they haven't already. I'm glad I've got it on vinyl finally, it's cream colored. I've waited a few weeks for this to arrive. 🙂

And the other one already is Vivaldi's Four Seasons recomposed by Max Richter, our N&G RotM. Fast delivery from Amazon. I'm looking forward a lot to spin this 2 LP set later this week. 🎶 Thanks again to @Alexander for the exciting guessing game and choosing a beautiful album I hadn't heard of before. 😍
